I am not sure if this will be very helpful in answering your question but I personally know a Physician Assistant who works part time at a local hospital in California as a Respiratory Therapist and also in a Cardiology office. I know of an NP who wo...

The Title pretty much sums it up...I am an LPN/LVN who was pressured by family into pursuing a BSN degree abroad in the Philippines. I will have been here a full Year in May. I have finally reached my point today...lost a grip on my professionalism a...

HI OCNRN63, Thank you for your insight. i absolutely am not proud of my response. I listed my response knowing that I would sound pretentious and rude, because I felt it was relevant. I literally just reached my limit at the time I blurted them out ...

:) roser13 your attempt was appreciated

okay...so i made a very drastic decision that i am slowly realizing perhaps was not the best decision for me. with much reluctance i resigned from all three of the nursing positions which i held including my most recent which i have only had for two ...

"Can you make me better?""It hurts Nurse Lucky...right here...make it stop please.""Why am I sick?""I wish I could be like those other kids...""Can you hold my hand...my feet are cold...and the room is moving again.""Nurse Lucky...why am I bleeding t...

My advice to you would be to remain at this job for a minimum of a year. Employers prefer applicants who have shown longevity at a place of employment and have a work history that shows you have not simply "jumped" from one job to the next. Remaining...

Okay so I want to start off stating that I am an LVN. I do not touch PICC lines. I have a question for RN's who know their scope of practice regarding them. So I have been picking up shifts in a Sub Acute SNF lately in order to work with a good frien...

i would like to start off by stating that i have never been terminated from any job position i have ever held...until today. i have always had a great reputation at work and never had any issues at any of my jobs...including this specific job. i am g...

update: okay...so due to my previous circumstances i was advised not to discuss this in a public forum, however that has since changed as of this morning. i wanted to update everyone who was kind enough to give their advice and encouragement. althoug...

:thankya:

I will take everyone's advice. I'll contact an attorney tomorrow. Im just concerned about the damage this may cause to the relationships I have with a lot of people. Thanks for everyones advice...n please say a prayer and cross your fingers for me......

Your message is completely full of wisdom and well recieved. Thank you so much. I did not even think in that mindset at the time this transpired. I think just from being in this office/clinic setting I was used to these protocols that the RN told me ...

I am unsure of what to do now. I was called by my friend the NP from my prior job who told me that the Dr. wanted to talk with me. I kindly declined because I do not like confrontation. The Dr. snatched the phone from the NP's hand and told me that h...

Thanks for your feedback. I am going to do my best to move on and learn from this experience. I really tried to talk to the Dr. He just didn't want to hear in anyway that his actions were wrong. I worked there a decent amount of time and for him to j...

Hi Altra, I appreciate your response. This was another reason why I actually posted this as I stated in my main post that I know I am not the most experienced nurse in situations like this and I felt there was potentially more I could have done. Th...

Unfortunately I am not an RN yet. Only an LVN. This is one of those times I really 100% wish I was an RN. But until I can get accepted into a bridge program theres nothing I can do.

I feel the same way. The only thing that has me confused is that I told the Dr. that I was not allowed to administer IV meds and he stated coldly "I know what you can and cannot do. But I am right here in front of you observing. So give the medicatio...

I believe it depends on where you go to school. I recieved an Associate of Science degree from my community college although I had to complete the additional required courses in science and GE. The majority of these classes were classes that I comple...

I heavily disliked being a CNA not because I was bothered by the work I was expected to do but rather I disliked the Job because I was unable to effectively advocate I feel for my patients when the nurse on shift obviously disregarded patients call l...

Once while caring for a nice old lady I asked her of she had any requests before I started to give report and she said "yes, could you please show this little boy back to his room. He keeps waking me up and I can't sleep with him coughing like that."...

As I was saying goodnight to a patient of mine as I was getting ready to end my shift Thursday evening and give report to the nurse who was now on duty I asked if there was anything she needed or I could do for her before I go. This patient who is on...

Okay so I am a little bit of a square which translates to me having several nursing "quirks". So here is a quick list...I will name only a few since my full set of "quirks" would be several pages im sure. Here goes: I heavily dislike nurses who snee...

:) thanks

leslie, Thank you for your reply. Although I found everyones responses to be very comforting and helpful your response really hit home with me. Your advice definitely comforted me more than I can explain. Thank you, NrsLucky
