  1. Things you'd LOVE to be able to tell patients, and get away with it.

    Lovely_RN replied to AngelfireRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I had a patient say do I have to call my wife? I bust out laughing because the way they said it gave me a Madea flashback. It was from Diary of a Mad Black Woman when Madea said: Brenda: That's it...

  2. Becoming a nurse for the money...

    Lovely_RN replied to Marc86's topic in General Students

    I'm not discouraging you and I have almost the identical credentials that you have (freaky coincidence isn't it?). I'm just letting you know that as long as your at the bedside it's going to be dirty...

  3. Becoming a nurse for the money...

    Lovely_RN replied to Marc86's topic in General Students

    The pay is excellent? I don't care why a person decides to become a nurse and I also don't work for free but I gotta break it to you. You're going to be pretty mad when you finally graduate, get your...

  4. Who In The World Gave These Nurses License?This is Madness!

    Lovely_RN replied to clay07's topic in General Nursing

    So it's the nurses fault that the hospital didn't have a functional incubator for the

  5. failed nclex twice..losing all my confidence

    Lovely_RN replied to teareyed0001's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I'll pray for you too. Focus on passing your test and getting into an RN position. After that maybe you will be ready to think about making some difficult choices. I wish you the best of luck and...

  6. failed nclex twice..losing all my confidence

    Lovely_RN replied to teareyed0001's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    This is domestic violence, you are being verbally, emotionally, and mentally abused. Trust me the chance of your husband doing you a favor and divorcing you is nil. He is using the threat of divorce...

  8. Thats IT !!! Im Sick of it !!!!

    Lovely_RN replied to LeesG's topic in General Students

    Good morning LeesG! Congrats on making it almost 24 hours w/o a cigarette. You are doing really well. I had a similar experience with the nicotine patch when I wore it at night. I would have the...

  9. New grad frustrated, but trapped...in a "profession" i HATE.

    Lovely_RN replied to Sparx28's topic in General Nursing

    You would owe 15k for an internship? I thought that internships were non-paying positions? I know that 9 more months seems like a long time but 15k is a lot of money to

  10. Thats IT !!! Im Sick of it !!!!

    Lovely_RN replied to LeesG's topic in General Students

    It's not easy but it's doable and I'm rooting for you! 4 hours is a start...set mini goals...make your next goal 8 hours and when you reach that goal set a new one. Soon it will be one day and then...

  11. Thats IT !!! Im Sick of it !!!!

    Lovely_RN replied to LeesG's topic in General Students

    I smoked for the better part of 17 years, started seriously smoking when I was 14, and finally quit for the last time at 31. I smoked roughly half a pack per dayand I also smoked marijuana...

  12. HELP I'm doing so bad on LaCharity Prioritization book

    Lovely_RN replied to Lil_Mama4sho1's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I just finished chapter 11 musculoskeletal and I'm not doing so hot either. My scores tend to range from the upper 60%-to no more than 75% per chapter. What I have been doing is using an entire sheet...

  13. Are nurses treated as terribly as people imply?

    Lovely_RN replied to kprince's topic in General Nursing

    I'm a new nurse and I am not treated well or compensated appropriately for what I do. I look at it this way, I gotta pay my dues and that's what I'm doing right now. I know nurses who have great jobs...

  14. Emergency Nurse Relief Act 2009- Update

    Lovely_RN replied to Ginger's Mom's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    This is exactly what happens at the facility that I work for. The conditions aren't good for the foreign nurses and because there are so many of them the power of the U.S nurses is reduced because we...

  15. Racist Patients

    Lovely_RN replied to Williss2's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Really they do? I didn't see anything posted by SB that denied that they did? Rather I think she was talking about an experience that she had at her

  16. Pregnancy and Nursing School

    Lovely_RN replied to mesa14's topic in General Students

    I got pregnant during my last semester and finished school at 23 weeks. I had some m/s but not much and other than that I was fine. I'm glad that I didn't have a baby in the middle of the semester...

  17. "Atypical" Nurse? How discouraging...

    Lovely_RN replied to Darjeeling22's topic in General Nursing

    That's the silliest nonsense I have ever heard of. I went to RN school with a really talented LPN who had over 10 years of experience in Med/Surg and telemetry. She was over 40 and single with no kids...

  18. They spoiled me and now I'm freaking out !

    Lovely_RN replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Students

    I wonder why your school choose to start you guys off like that? I've never seen a multiple choice calculations question on any test that I have ever taken, there were none on the LPN boards, and I...

  19. so when is it wrong to stand for unfairness...

    Lovely_RN replied to Movin'onUP's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I hope the OP didn't get kicked out of school and I hope she learned a valuable lesson. I am sure that many other students in the class had the same feelings as she did but did anyone else speak up?...

  20. Lecture by Student Presentations: Violation of Student Rights?

    Lovely_RN replied to showbizrn's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    I had an instructor that broke the class into 6 groups of 5 and we had to do presentations for every class meeting! She never gave us any feedback or direction on what she wanted out of the...

  21. Got fired

    Lovely_RN replied to Keenay99's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Don't feel bad this is type of facility that wants nurses to cut corners while they look the other way. They know that it's impossible to take care of 59 residents and do things by the book. They...

  22. Emergency Nurse Relief Act 2009- Update

    Lovely_RN replied to Ginger's Mom's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    So all is well as long as someone is O.K with working under these conditions? What about the patients? What kind of care do you think they are receiving? We are all aging and we are susceptible to...

  23. Emergency Nurse Relief Act 2009- Update

    Lovely_RN replied to Ginger's Mom's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Some of the comments from these lawyers are incredibly offensive. They really seem to believe that nurses are overpaid for what we do and that the solution is to bring in as many foreign nurses as...

  24. Emergency Nurse Relief Act 2009- Update

    Lovely_RN replied to Ginger's Mom's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    You're missing my point. I'm not calling the foreign nurses crappy nurses. If anything I'm calling them fearful nurses. They are afraid of losing their positions and being sent back home so they don't...

  25. Emergency Nurse Relief Act 2009- Update

    Lovely_RN replied to Ginger's Mom's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I can only write about my experiences. I work in a SNF and recently the DNS has hired 6 MORE foreign nurses via agency because we don't have enough staff. The DNS is from the same country as these...
