    My mother is always announcing to her friends and the general public that I am a registered nurse and that I also am an instructor..then tells everyone she has 2 daughters who are teachers. (My oldest...
  9. I was let go !

    I have to agree with the others who say you should be happy that you are away from that place. You probably wouldn't have been happy there anyway given the fact they probably would have been heck to...

    sounds like you have found a place on the night shift that makes you feel more comfortable and that's a great thing. I also wonder where all the older nurses are going. Seems like it's a group of...
  21. LPN Supervisor Over RNs.???

    problem I am seeing here is the fact that many states nurse practice acts do not allow a licensed practical nurse to supervise a registered nurse. I worked in LTC and at one time there was a licensed...
