  1. Being micromanaged by a CMA?

    %D#2 replied to %D#2's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know yet how my boss is gonna respond she is only here on my days off and hasn't called me. The med tech was telling the other nurses that she emailed

  2. Don't talk bad about your patients

    %D#2 replied to BrendaH84's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    This happens to me with one of my residents, she fires me all the time when I try to change her dressings. Before sun downing, she loves me, wants me to be her adopted daughter or marry her son, and...

  4. Will I have to deal with a lot of blood in nursing school?

    %D#2 replied to jusrene88's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I didn't see a whole lot of blood in nursing school but as an LPNS who works LTC I do. I draw blood, start IVs and I see GI bleeding. Just to warn you, you typically won't see this in nursing homes...

  5. Is it tacky/disrespectful to do this?

    %D#2 replied to Molly.RN's topic in General Nursing

    As I stated before I agree that she should stick it out til she moves, cause relocating is a good reason to leave a job.. then do this gesture.. Nothing wrong with

  6. New BSN graduate with 5 years LVN experience!

    %D#2 replied to jmnlvn2bsn's topic in Texas Nursing

    That's crazy that they'd look at you negatively during the interview. I know LPN and RN experience are not interchangeable and I wouldn't mind being paid as a new grad, gotta start somewhere. But if I...

  8. Feeling uneasy about first nursing job.

    %D#2 replied to Cardiacluv's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Yeah I came from being a pct in a hospital too. It did feel more secure. But if you decide later on to transition to a different facility with more staff and more resources think of how this job will...

  9. CNAs/PCTs: How many patients in your care?

    %D#2 replied to mallycakes's topic in General Nursing

    Ps. Try to stick it out for AT LEAST 6 months. Will not look good on a resume if you are a new nurse who worked at multiple facilities as a CNA. That being said though, I do think it's too much and...

  10. CNAs/PCTs: How many patients in your care?

    %D#2 replied to mallycakes's topic in General Nursing

    I am a nurse now but was a CNA and pct for years. In the LTC I had 8 memory care patients. In the hospital I had 32 patients. No doubt it was hard and I am a team player with my CNAs now. We do a lot...

  13. Feeling uneasy about first nursing job.

    %D#2 replied to Cardiacluv's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Yes definitely stay positive! My positive attitude and drive to do good for others is what keeps me going. One thing I love about LTC is the elderly residents. You're gonna have all these new grandmas...

  14. Feeling uneasy about first nursing job.

    %D#2 replied to Cardiacluv's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Sorry if I scared you though, but you should know what it's gonna be like. The more you know the less it may stress you. At least you have other nurses on your shift.. If I had that I think I'd feel...

    %D#2 replied to Cardiacluv's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    My post may give you insight https://allnurses.com/general-nursing-discussion/vent-rant-about-1034537.html I work at a LTC that's mostly AL but has a small skilled unit. It's not uncommon for there to...

  16. Clinical instructor keeps handing out clinical warnings?

    %D#2 replied to lilfayfay's topic in General Students

    I honestly with all respect was not trying to throw the OP under the bus. I have good intentions here and it seems like others do as well. We want her to learn from her mistakes. Like I said...

  17. New BSN graduate with 5 years LVN experience!

    %D#2 replied to jmnlvn2bsn's topic in Texas Nursing

    Your experience will most likely be considered especially over someone with non-nursing experience, but you may start as brand new RN entry level. Because an LPN is a nurse (I am one) but an RN has a...

  18. How do you deal with untherapeutic situations on the unit?

    %D#2 replied to RNdynamic's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Ok first of all, I get that you would like it to be a therapeutic environment and be able to focus better.. I really do get that. But because of the nature of our jobs, **** happens, and we can't just...

    %D#2 replied to RNdynamic's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I read about the first two paragraphs and said, "oh good! This is gonna be a good post! I'll learn a lot!" And then, no. That didn't happen. You really need to stop psyching me out like

  20. ER wait times

    %D#2 replied to kp1987's topic in Emergency

    I'm not an ER nurse I work LTC.. But I would just keep a stern but polite tone. "I'm very sorry for the inconvenience and we will get to you as soon as we can. We get to the sickest people first."...

  21. Nursing is a passion?

    %D#2 replied to mindofmidwifery's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I've had older nurses who were so great.. And younger ones who were great.. And older and younger ones who were nasty. In fact I was just recently in the ER for a lupus flare which usually brings me...

  22. I took the NCLEX and ran out of time.

    %D#2 replied to Delfin123's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Let us know how you did when you find out OP and if you need to take it again, please don't beat yourself up. My anxiety was so bad I called my dad from work to come home before my exam and he ended...
