  1. Hi guys, I'm doing this mindfulness technique where I try not to complain or doubt myself, for a month, but when I do, I switch my bracelet to the other hand and start again. The point is not to...
  2. Mindfulness For the new nurse

    My friend is a social worker and has a bunch of people doing this for her case study. So far I have changed the bracelet quite a few times and it's all when doubting myself! I'm realizing I need to...
  3. I'm an LPN and I understand.

    True but I get so mad when people say LPNs aren't real nurses and im sure there are others with this mentality. It's pushed me to go back for my RN though.. My associates in RN. Although I have never...
  4. "I would never want you as my nurse!"

    Very true.. I like to encourage people all though I give advice that they may not want to hear. It's all in how one delivers the advice. People are more likely to listen when one is polite yet...
  5. Good for you for not giving up. You got this. School can be a bit like boot camp and I understand getting our defenses up initially but you did the right thing by taking the advice and finding out...
  6. I'm an LPN and I understand.

    Oops. Was replying to the post you were replying to. Not yours
  7. I'm an LPN and I understand.

    Have you ever been in an LPN program? I have been in an RN program, made it half way through, got sick with lupus and needed money and insurance and a job fast and would have had to wait to continue...
  8. "I would never want you as my nurse!"

    Any online forum is gonna have people who don't agree with each other and It's not gonna change but to insult someone's entire career is pretty uncalled for.. Although I probably should say right now...
  9. I'm an LPN and I understand.

    Most ridiculous thing I've seen on this forum and that says a lot
  10. Should I "waste" my time getting an ADN?

    It's not a waste on any type of schooling for nursing- LPN, ASN, BSN - as long as you can find a school to continue education and as long as the schools are accredited! I would apply to
  11. One of the day medication aides is starting to literally micromanage everything I do and it's driving me insane. I'm so over worked and spread thin. im the only nurse in charge of 50 pt with no...
  12. Being micromanaged by a CMA?

    I wanted to say that so bad.. But after cooling down a bit I realized that although I've been staying an extra 45mins at work the carts have been immaculate, charting is good, most of my errors have...
  13. Being micromanaged by a CMA?

    Yeah if I leave im not working at another LTC in that area.. I actually moved so I travel quite a bit which would be a good reason to leave but I am gonna use this opportunity to just practice being...
  14. Being micromanaged by a CMA?

    She knows it's me because I am the only nurse on my shift, which is evenings. We have no nurse over night, and she also looks at the dates and times on the wrappers, which is how she knows it's me. I...
  15. Being micromanaged by a CMA?

    My supervisor has not said a word to me about it. Honestly she's a great supervisor and very laid back.. Maybe she just laughed it
  16. Being micromanaged by a CMA?

    There's no regs in my state. From what k know California is the only state with regs on ratio but I could be
  17. Being micromanaged by a CMA?

    Yeah
  18. Being micromanaged by a CMA?

    Problem is i opened it at end of medpass and left it there for her to use next morning. Idk I think I find reasons to be hard on myself cause I *think* it will help me stop making mistakes, and it's...
  19. I agree- don't mix professional work place with religion or
  20. Being micromanaged by a CMA?

    I definitely won't stoop to her level. Unlike her I am more likely to talk directly to someone if I have issue with something but you know. People have different ways of dealing with stuff. I'm just...
  21. Is the Pearsonvue trick accurate?

    Not always. I took the PN nclex. It was accurate for me and most of my classmates but one of them thought she failed.. Got her results and she passed. When I take my RN boards I think I'm gonna wait...
  22. Being micromanaged by a CMA?

    She is supervised by the day nurses. I don't work with her. Boy I wish I had time to write emails about the previous shifts and all the stuff they forget to do (like all the dressing changes I end up...
  23. Being micromanaged by a CMA?

    I'm scared because I have improved greatly with charting small stuff, but sometimes still I forget to document little things. Like that I faxed stuff, task oriented things. I do the tasks but forget...
  24. Being micromanaged by a CMA?

    I am very good with patient care but due to my heavy workload.. Little non urgent tasks are something im working on. So she could have valid concern but I feel it may go beyond that. She has told...
  25. Being micromanaged by a CMA?

    Lol oops. Wrapper! I don't even work with this girl she comes on the next day after my shift and so I have no idea why she is being petty im always very nice to her and like, well, everyone. I guess...
