  1. "LPNs should be done away with altogether"

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

    I know you didn't but I am referring to the title of this thread which is "LPNs should be done away with altogether" All this other stuff is OT IMHO. I was just giving my two cents about the original...

  2. "LPNs should be done away with altogether"

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

    I see a lot of posts justifying why LPNs should be phased out of the acute care settings and I don't disagree. However, this thread is about the LPN title being phased out completely and I do DISAGREE...

  3. Starting out in an area you aren't interested in

    Lovely_RN replied to krenee's topic in General Nursing

    I've been working as an LPN in a LTC/SNF for over a year now and what I really want to do is work in an ER. I am graduating in 4 weeks and during my last clinical rotation I've been rotating to the ER...

  4. got shouted at yesterday night

    Lovely_RN replied to melz34's topic in General Nursing

    Um, I don't think so. Being unceasingly nice when someone is being abusive means that you are giving the person a license to become even more abusive of your person. Trust me these types rarely feel...

  8. "LPNs should be done away with altogether"

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

    Lovely_RN replied to MBA2RN's topic in California Nursing

    Why don't you try this at least you will be working and gaining experience (and a paycheck). I truly don't believe that no one will hire you for a med surg position if you work SNF or another area...

  10. Do Away with LPN's What will LPN's Do?

    Lovely_RN replied to Angela.RN2B's topic in General Nursing

  11. How do Unions save your nursing job?

    Lovely_RN replied to Emma123's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    I don't think unions are perfect but I would rather work for a unionized facility than a non-unionized one. I know that there are some really great non-union facilities out there but I think they are...

  14. How do LPNs View themselves?

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

    I only work weekends and there is only 1 RN (the supervisor). When I am on the floor I am the only nurse for 40 patients...I feel very independent. I have my own license and if I make the wrong...

    For a few months now the quality of care has been drastically declining at the facility that I work at due to the administration trying to cut back on spending. The staffing ratio was never good to...

  17. Should a nursing student be given a 2nd chance if they have a positive drug screen

    Lovely_RN replied to PEBBLES1's topic in General Students

    Thanks for the update but I am really shocked that a faculty member felt that it was appropriate to discuss this woman's personal business with the clinical group. The only reason I know about what...

  19. Is LPN as great a job as a RN?

    Lovely_RN replied to WorkingMom19's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm a little perplexed by what you are saying? I am not downgrading a BSNs accomplishments I'm just telling you what I know for a fact. If you start out in a traditional BSN program with no college...

    Lovely_RN replied to linda2097's topic in General Nursing

    Off Topic: Yeah what's up with that? I have been running across a lot of mean posters lately. When people ask a question they jump down their throats and act like they don't deserve to be in NS or...

    Lovely_RN replied to PEBBLES1's topic in General Students

    Lovely_RN replied to AZGirl27's topic in Arizona Nursing
