    LPN Job Duties

    duskyjewel replied to Hoping2BeANurse's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    As a CNA who has worked with both kinds of nurses (and aspiring LPN), I can confirm this. In the hospital I worked in before my current job, most of the nurses were like NOADLS. The one guy who...

    4.0 in nursing school?

    duskyjewel replied to RubySlippers:)'s topic in General Students

    This is completely unhealthy. Where did you learn this? Navigating real life requires accepting that less than perfect is still good. Success in life requires flexibility. As you go through nursing...

    Disabled & Hating it

    duskyjewel replied to cJoeyRN's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    cJoeyRN, you're attacking a person who is offering you compassion and understanding. Back off a little, because she's really in a position to get it and sympathize with

    Sepsis as Hospice Diagnosis

    duskyjewel replied to lpoore's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    Say wha.......?! I don't even.... I've seen sepsis as the diagnosis on many inpatient hospice patients where I work, but I certainly wouldn't say it's the most common. Usually the GIP is related to...

    Newbie CNA shocked "care" given by CNA co-workers!

    duskyjewel replied to MidLifeChg2Nursing's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Commuter is right about the elderly being devalued, but even children's caretakers are often hanging at the bottom rung of the wage ladder. We don't value caretaking jobs in our society. While I...

    To quote Billy Joel: People tell you, you can't sleep alone in a new place. Then they'll tell you, you can't sleep with somebody else. Ah, but sooner or later you sleep in your own space. Either...

    The Right to Die

    duskyjewel replied to BabyGirl1979's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Even when it is. They should look at financial motives of those family members, too many of whom are dependent on grandma's social security

    265 q's = pass??

    duskyjewel replied to hellomello's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Today is the 12th. Your quick results should be available 48 hours after you tested. Seems confusing that they aren't unless something has gone wrong. And as far as I know, weekends don't affect...

    Voluntary Euthanasia

    duskyjewel replied to GARY_FL_NURSE's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Human life is already too devalued in our culture. We should in no way make that worse. I will fight euthanasia in all forms for as long as I can. My work in hospice is completely about preserving...

    What's the BEST nursing shoes?

    duskyjewel replied to BigCSN's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    How long do they last on someone walking a floor for 12 hours a night? I like the price but don't want to spend it every other month when I've been getting 6-9 good months out of Nurse

    I think Medicare, if we must have it, should be turned into a tax credit program and individuals allowed to shop and compare and buy coverage that is right for them. And Medicaid should be...

    duskyjewel replied to Nola009's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    None of those abuses were meted out by anyone here, and condemning an entire group for the behavior of some of its members is the very definition of prejudice and bigotry. Your injuries don't give...
