  1. oh and just a suggestion if you don't want to get written up do this!

    Lovely_RN replied to gt4everpn's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Stuff like this makes me want to run as far away from LTC as I possibly can. It's not enough that we are worked nearly to death during our shifts now the want to steal our time too. Humph, I bet if...

    Lovely_RN replied to jinyi's topic in General Nursing

    I know right? But at the end of the day if it's just laziness and not a genuine need for help the OP is only going to hurt them self, not

    Sorry I made an error It's actually 1KG=2.2lbs not the other way around but the answer is still

  4. what is

    Lovely_RN replied to jinyi's topic in General Nursing

    The problem isn't too bad but you have to know how to convert pounds to kilograms. 1 pound=2.2 KG. 13.2 lbs/2.2=6KG Multiply the KG by the mg 6KG X 200mg=1200mg (this is the dose for the entire...

  5. Do nurses get mad when..

    Lovely_RN replied to ProLogic's topic in General Nursing

    I only get annoyed when there are tons of family in the room and they keep bugging me with petty/annoying requests. More chairs, cups for the entire family, mom has an eye booger and it needs to be...

    Lovely_RN replied to jinyi's topic in General Nursing

    Convert pounds to kilograms next multiply mg X KG and divide into three equal

  7. Help! Problems At Work Re: Diabetic Pt, Rights

    Lovely_RN replied to debow261's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I have numerous residents that are non-compliant diabetics. I do the best I can to educate them about their choices and I document very thoroughly when they are participating in self-destructive...

  8. Congestive Heart Failure

    Lovely_RN replied to Monica Zilko's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    You have the right to ask questions but limit your suggestions to what you know for sure in your role as a carer. I was a CNA before I became a nurse and some of the things that the nurses and docs...

  9. I got in the 1+1 program!

    Lovely_RN replied to NICUplease's topic in LPN to RN

    Congrats! I got my LPN via a 1+1 program last December and now I am in the first semester of the second year for my RN. It's been the hardest thing that I have ever done but you can't beat doing your...

  10. First year nursing student needs some advice.

    Lovely_RN replied to NCC21's topic in New York Nursing

    I agree with Tabrown and WSmith, the easier your job while in nursing school the better. CNA work is very strenuous and you don't want to wear yourself out at work and then have to face going to...

  11. Precepting new BSN grad/having trouble

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

    I don't think that you did anything wrong. That new nurse has a horrible attitude and she was very disrespectful to you. Also she sounds like she is going to be a problem employee. It's usually a bad...

  12. LPN as ADON in LTC

    Lovely_RN replied to BearyPrivate's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe your state's scope of practice has the answer? Is it that she is an LPN or are you concerned that she may be incapable of doing the

  13. I can't do it all

    Lovely_RN replied to nursecrk's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I agree 100% with this post. You have to put your foot down if you are going to survive. Don't be afraid to say not right now I'm too busy, don't be afraid to ignore non-nurses who think they know...

  14. I want to be anurse but...

    Lovely_RN replied to futurelpn09's topic in General Nursing

    P.S. It sounds hard to belive but sometimes its easier to get into a BSN program than an LPN one or a CC ADN program. So don't let the rejection bug you I had to compete with over 500 people to get...

  15. I want to be anurse but...

    Lovely_RN replied to futurelpn09's topic in General Nursing

    If you aren't in a rush to move out of your parents home I would suggest going straight for the BSN because of your age. It seems that the future trend in nursing is more education not less and at 20...

  16. Stubborn Mother

    Lovely_RN replied to antidote's topic in General Nursing

    I have the same problem with my own mother. She is 61, morbidly obese, and hypertensive. She has not had any type of medical check-up in at least 15-20 years. I have tried every method of convincing...

    Lovely_RN replied to chevyv's topic in General Nursing

  18. Roll Call: Introduce Yourselves, LPNs!

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

    Hi! I have been posting on Allnurses for a long time now but I have never formally introduces myself on the LPN forum. I have been an LPN for 3 months now and I am starting a bridge program for my...

  19. Is it true that a BSN will be mandatory soon?

    Lovely_RN replied to szccdw's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I agree! It certainly happens at the facility that I work at. I work with quite a few Filipino nurses who were brought over by agencies. They are working as LPNs while trying to pass the RN boards and...

  20. Is $18,000 "to much for LPN program"

    Lovely_RN replied to FutureRNelizabeth's topic in New York Nursing

    Sorry I gave you the wrong link to Touro and I can't edit my post again. http://www.touro.edu/shs/openhouseN.asp http://www.touro.edu/shs/nursing/nursingapp.pdf Good

  21. Is $18,000 "to much for LPN program"

    Lovely_RN replied to FutureRNelizabeth's topic in New York Nursing

    You are the only one who can decide it it's worth spending the money for the LPN program. Some factors that may affect what you are willing to pay are: What are you getting for you money? Is it just...

  22. I worked a double yesterday and today I called out!

    Lovely_RN posted a topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I'm just venting so please do not feel obligated to read this booklength post. I had the worst 16 hours yesterday. I was off on Thursday and as soon as I walked in on Friday (3-11pm) the DNS said...

  23. A.M. care in a ltcf

    Lovely_RN replied to proud2b1's topic in General Nursing

    It really burns me up that we are not supposed to tell the families that we are short staffed! It's not like they can't see that with their own eyes anyway. I have a CNA on my floor who has been on...

    Lovely_RN replied to Lovely_RN's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Thanks everyone. I don't know where I am going to find another job that will work with my school schedule but I am sincerely praying that there is something else out there for me. I cannot stand...
