    Lovely_RN replied to MissBrittanyRN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I've been employed as an LPN for about 18 months now. I wouldn't spend the $200 for the NCLEX and the additional fees for the LPN license. Once you disclose that you have an RN license an employer...

    I'm not afraid to call myself an RN, I just don't like to right now. :stone I feel comfortable calling myself an LPN because that is what I'm employed as. It's not logical but it's just the way I...

    Lovely_RN replied to cardiacmadeline's topic in General Nursing

    If the potential employer asks questions that you have a negative answer to you're better of saying "I don't wish to comment on that or No comment" Only answer questions when you have a positive...

  10. Everyone using prioritization, delegation, and assignment book by linda lacharity

    Lovely_RN replied to RNFutureRN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    This is a great book. My scores ranged from 60%-90% or better depending on what section I was reviewing. I don't think the score matters much though. It's more important to make sure you read the...

  11. For RNs who worked while pregnant, when did you take off from work, and for how long?

    Lovely_RN replied to MistyDawnRN06's topic in General Nursing

    Great article and yep I'm burnt out and I didn't even last two years as an LPN. Haven't even worked one day as an RN and I'm not really looking forward to it. Right now becoming an RN is solely about...

  14. True? --> "RN's Can Work 3Days/Wk And Make A Good Salary!"

    Lovely_RN replied to ArtisticAthlete's topic in General Nursing

    So far it's been like taking the red pill aka the Matrix. Sometimes I wish I had opted for the blue but I suspect that M.Ds and P.As have similair experiences. We all go into healthcare with...

  15. Nurses in my Family, but None Are Helping Me

    Lovely_RN replied to MedNurse2k's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think they are being mean on purpose it's just that you can get burned out from repeating yourself over and over again. When I was in nursing school we had to wear uniforms with the school...

    Lovely_RN replied to 2bnursekemmie's topic in LPN to RN

    Lovely_RN replied to stephanienicole87's topic in General Nursing

    I had 41 residents on my floor and I could deal with everything you stated except the soap rationing. That sounds positively Dickensian and it's a major infection control issue. I'm absolutely...

  18. REHAB IS NOT MY FORTE! ...it's actually making me sick.

    Lovely_RN replied to lorenwithano's topic in Rehabilitation

    The only advice I can give you is to keep looking and do the best that you can while you are still at your current job. My job is identical to yours. 40 patients 1 nurse, 3 CNAs on 3-11pm shift. I'm...

    Lovely_RN replied to qt2168's topic in General Nursing

    Not taking shots at you because you're just telling the truth about the state of health care right now. I pay for insurance and for co-pays and I still need to hand over what amounts to bribe money to...

  23. Should I rent a house directly across the street from the hospital?

    Lovely_RN replied to algebra_demystified's topic in Psychiatric

    Treating your patients well can make you just as much of a target as treating them poorly. I don't think it's safe to allow any patient to ever know where you

  24. Patient called me Chubby... LOL

    Lovely_RN replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Nursing

    My response depends on the client. I don't take offense if the person is very elderly, disoriented, or psychotic. I am also patient with very young children. I have a zero tolerance policy for people...

  25. "If you sit down and chart for more than 15 minutes, that's considered a break"

    Lovely_RN replied to JomoNurse's topic in General Nursing

    Did they put their new policy in writing? If not then I would just ignore it and play dumb if it was brought to my attention. My job tried to enforce clocking in and out for lunch and our 15 minute...
