1. Clinical Judgement Call...Not sure if I did the right thing

   LuvScience replied to AvaRose's topic in General Nursing

   Having your decision questioned by admin doesn't mean that you made an error in judgement. I agree with your assessment that the patient needed further evaluation. LTC administration is only...

2. No Excuse for Mistake....

   LuvScience replied to Jolie's topic in Nursing News

   It sounds like the mom is overstating the danger of this particular situation in preparation for a lawsuit. However, I disagree with the other posters on this thread who are describing this situation...

   LuvScience replied to shark_nurse14's topic in School

   I'm not a school nurse but is there some reason why a cup of tap water can't be served with lunch in addition to

4. Telling Patients/Residents You Love Them?

   LuvScience replied to robynnel's topic in General Nursing

   I don't have a problem with this as long as it is just a suggestion and not a requirement. I understand the objections voiced in this thread by most of the other posters. However, I have worked in a...

5. CNA vs. Fast food: Which is tougher?

   LuvScience replied to Beldar_the_Cenobite's topic in General Nursing

   I'm an LPN now but I have worked in fast food and as a CNA in the past. I would say that CNA work is, without a doubt, more difficult than fast food. When I first became a CNA I missed my low...

6. How old is too old to become a new RN?

   LuvScience replied to CathyH's topic in General Nursing

   Since you have been working towards paying off bills and saving money, it sounds like you are in a relativity good position to go back to school now if you choose to. However, I do not recommend doing...

7. Public Schools and transgender bathrooms.

   LuvScience replied to imintrouble's topic in School

   IMHO this entire issue is much ado about nothing. Our national conversation seems to center around one manufactured controversy after the next. I suspect that a year or so from now, we will all be...

8. So I kind of messed up

   LuvScience replied to oopsmybad's topic in General Nursing

   Sorry OP but you've blown your chance at your school's nursing program. I'm sure that you didn't realize the consequences of taking an Rx med that didn't belong to you but that doesn't change your...

9. Nurses smoking weed?

   LuvScience replied to bunnynurse's topic in General Nursing

   Like many of the other posters here, I have no moral objection to marijuana and consider it safer than alcohol. However, I do not use it because I value my nursing license. I do personally think that...

10. new lpn in Richmond va

    LuvScience replied to mardia11's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I hope that I am mistaken but it sounds like you are asking whether or not to lie on an application. Claiming to have experience that you do not actually have is not an option. There is nothing wrong...

11. Entitlement/ superiority attitude of some nurses?

    LuvScience replied to Infofreak411's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I was once a CNA. After I had worked as a CNA for a few years, I began to feel experienced and knowledgeable. I watched the nurses at my facility and came to the conclusion that I worked harder than...

12. Administering Tylenol to a friend

    LuvScience replied to Em31200's topic in General Nursing

    I also heard a very similar lecture from an instructor in nursing school. However, allowing a friend access to my personal bottle of Tylenol is not the same as actually administering it as a nurse. If...

13. Being Ignored

    LuvScience replied to clarinets's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Are you absolutely positive that these nurses are deliberately ignoring you? I have a tendency to become hyper-focused during some activities such as reading. If someone approaches me while I'm...

    LuvScience replied to NurseQuil07's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I agree with TheCommuter, your prospects will be better outside of south Florida. If you need to stay in the area, then I suggest applying to every LTC/SNF within a reasonable driving distance. I...

15. I want to SELL my custom ebook bundle.

    LuvScience replied to Alyssa14's topic in General Students

    I have had pretty good luck selling books via craigslist to other students at my school. If these books are still required for incoming students then you might be able to find an interested buyer that...
