  2. LVN Hospital Jobs

    PrettyPillz replied to jimbalaya's topic in Texas Nursing

    As an LVN here in North Texas with almost 20 years experience, it is VERY hard for you to get a hospital job here. And what sucks is, most of my experience is in the hospital. But even with my...

  6. Things you'd LOVE to be able to tell patients, and get away with it.

    PrettyPillz replied to AngelfireRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    1. Do I know who you are? Who cares! 2. You don't understand why you feel so bad? If you'd loose 450 million pounds and quit smoking, and tell your familiy to quit bringing you Taco Bell up here to...

  7. What is your biggest nursing pet peeve?

    PrettyPillz replied to ferfer's topic in General Nursing

    1. Docs who don't return urgent phone calls about their patients. 2. Lazy CNAs that won't do jack squat! 3. The family members that take notes or threaten to sue. Or say, "my son is a lawyer, I'm a...

  8. What was the MOST ridiculous thing a patient came to the ER for?

    PrettyPillz replied to JUSTYSMOM's topic in Emergency

    A family of "frequent flyers" consisting of a daughter, mother , father and cousin, all over 300 lbs+ with various suitcases asking to be checked in for not feeling well and needing to "get away for a...

  9. What's Your Best Nursing Ghost Story?

    PrettyPillz replied to steffck's topic in General Nursing

    I worked in a local nursing home several years ago,and there were two confused ladies in a semi-private room. The lady by the window, we'll call her Mrs.L, had an old fashioned looking black and white...

  10. Should she tell why she's leaving?

    PrettyPillz replied to funmom's topic in General Nursing

    Your sister-in-law should just give her 2 weeks notice and leave in a professional manner. The management already knows that they suck. You could be labeled a trouble maker. In my experience, I've...

  11. Arlington Question

    PrettyPillz replied to Conqueror+'s topic in Texas Nursing

    Yes, the Pantego area is nice and very affordable. Stay away from anything near HWY 360. Too much crime. Just imagine when a Texas Rangers game will be in progress with a Dallas Cowboys game at the...

  12. Moving to East Texas from Northern Nevada

    PrettyPillz replied to RN_Pursuit2b's topic in Texas Nursing

    I'm an East Texas girl myself.I loved the very true depiction of Tyler(LMAO)!!! The jobs are not very plentyful for nurses when I left. Most of the them had been ther for years. You has to almost wait...

  13. 37 LVN's "DOWNSIZED" - how's that for a shortage!

    PrettyPillz replied to kharitinova's topic in Texas Nursing

    There is something up with Lake Pointe. I worked agency out there a few years ago. And they were "always" short of nurses. Maybe they are trying to compete. And they are definately not nurse

  14. Long Waits in Psych ER

    PrettyPillz replied to pagandeva2000's topic in General Nursing

    As horrifying as that video was, lets stop and think. How many times have we as nurses worked in unsafe conditions grossly understaffed, and a patient suffered because they didn't get care they...

  15. Bye, Bye, LPN's

    PrettyPillz replied to gilf7243's topic in LPN to RN

    Yes this is a big trend here in the Dallas / Fort Worth area. Amazing that hospitals are quick to boot LVN's out, but many of them will let LVN's work through the Agency. It just goes to show who's...

  16. How do I deal with a liar?

    PrettyPillz replied to learning2Bnurse's topic in General Nursing

    Too much drama! First of all, it is nothing to be ashamed of that you didn't get accepted. That happens a lot. Could be the program seats were full, ...ect. Nothing to hide. Second, if you are working...

  17. Race during report.

    PrettyPillz replied to emnicams's topic in General Nursing

    It is very important as a patient identifier. A person's race and cultural beliefs are also important when planning the care of a patient. For example, I have read a patient's chart or their medical...

  18. Group One background checks

    PrettyPillz replied to OBGYN Legal RN's topic in Texas Nursing

    ...Hmm....You are very defensive of Group One... This entity has ruined so many good nurses work oppourtunities in North Texas because some supervisor got "****** off" and other petty crap....They...

  19. Agency work in DFW? Recommendations/warnings?

    PrettyPillz replied to dfwccrn's topic in Texas Nursing

    Maxim here in Dallas had lots of work when I worked for them a few years ago, but paychecks were often wrong and staff was rude. HOWEVER, I know that was some time ago. Those people are probably not...

  20. Looking for a JOB!!! Advice please...

    PrettyPillz replied to christineb1213d's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    And yet they yell on the mountain top " We have a nursing shortage!"

  21. not sure I believe the nursing shortage...

    PrettyPillz replied to Roozeyk's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Duh, LVN's know when a person is dead. It is amazing here in North Texas the yelp is "we are desperate for nurses", yet none of the advertised hospitals in the papers are listing open LVN positions....

  22. Why do people go into nursing? Is it just the money?

    PrettyPillz replied to zoo*moon's topic in General Nursing

    I dont think that you should change your name. Med surg DOES suck! And it's well known. I have heard nurses in other departments call this floor "The hospital dumping ground". And it takes a lot of...

    PrettyPillz replied to student-with-no-life's topic in General Nursing

    I agree...I'm seeing some major red flags with this one. She is has a lot of points of view that do not belong in nursing. You work with several different races of people, co-workers as well as...

    PrettyPillz replied to student-with-no-life's topic in General Nursing

    Just looking for clarification....What did the other former student do that you consider "playing the race card?"...Was it in your opinion legitimate or
