    TheCommuter replied to Bizyd's topic in General Students

    LPN's aren't real nurses

    TheCommuter replied to laurennnxo26's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Wall of Shame

    TheCommuter replied to CapeCodMermaid's topic in LTC: Directors, Assistant

    A wall of shame? Interesting... When I worked in middle nursing management, my mantra was to praise in public and critique in private. A wall of shame would serve as a very public criticism of those...

    Does working at a small hospital make me less of a nurse?

    TheCommuter replied to Jaellys's topic in General Nursing

    I have never worked a single day at an acute care hospital in my entire 10-year career. This does not make me less of a nurse than someone who works in the university hospital trauma ICU or the large...

    Upset with delegation

    TheCommuter replied to lovaza's topic in General Nursing

    I agree that all CNA/PCT duties are encompassed within the RN scope of practice. Nonetheless, it would have been more equitable if the charge nurse had ascertained if any of the four night shift RNs...

    Did you voice your displeasure at the very moment the charge nurse assigned you to function as a PCT? In general, it is more effectual to speak up as occurrences are taking place. The squeaky wheel...
