  1. license was suspended - documentation errors

    Nurseinthemaking replied to lisa bear rn's topic in General Nursing

    I thought this had to be in writing too??? Something seems a little fishy here. Also, did you hire an attorney? That is the first thing I would have done. You may very well need one now because it...

    Nurseinthemaking replied to ATCant's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    Wow, you guys are scaring the crud out of me. I am not only a new GVN, but will be a New Dialysis Nurse in 10 days. I have heard good and bad (mostly about the rush hour thing), but I haven't met...

  3. O.R./L&D Clashing in C-sections

    Nurseinthemaking replied to Marie_LPN, RN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Sounds like that tech needs to go back to school. Breaking technique like that, is putting the patients safety on the line. If people are having to point out something like that, that is so obvious,...

    Nurseinthemaking replied to tramalady45's topic in Emergency

    OMG, that made my stomache turn. Can you imagine how felt mentally and physically.

  5. Judgements about big families

    Nurseinthemaking replied to PegRNBSN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    IF I were the pt. the hospital suits would be hearing from me. It is absolutely none of his business. I am glad to see that someone atleast tried to stand up and say something. Now how will this lady...

  6. Learning to give injections

    Nurseinthemaking replied to onesmallspark's topic in General Nursing

    We were not aloud to do student to student. My poor orange was so injected it was pitiful. I had to put a face on him so my kids wouldn't eat him. My tips for getting over the shakes is just do it, it...

  7. Should BSNs be paid more?

    Nurseinthemaking replied to edcampbe's topic in General Nursing

    IMO, I agree with the "everyone should get paid more" thing. But one thing I wanted to add and I saw it in my LVN school. Book smarts doesn't actually make the best nurse. You can have the smartest...

  8. Signing things you didn't do

    Nurseinthemaking replied to dinkymouse's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    As a new grad, this scares the crud out of me. Did she miss this day in school or has she forgotten what legal and ethical care is?

    Nurseinthemaking replied to xyz's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I had been out of school for 15 years when I decided to go and finally do my entire life goal. I had been a CNA previously and I will have to admit, if it wouldn't have been for that, I might have...

    Nurseinthemaking replied to Nurseinthemaking's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

  11. What can an RN do than an LPN can't?

    Nurseinthemaking replied to pdpeanut's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I just finished all my classes for LPN school and will graduate in a week. I have to say that lady really has no clue. She sounds pessimistic to me or crothety or something. If I had to do it all over...

  12. Any LVN Dialysis Nurses Here?

    Nurseinthemaking posted a topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I graduate in 2 weeks and I got an offer to work as a Dialysis nurse. I was so extatic, because this was my first choice. I am nervous about the access sites. I wished there was some sort of class I...

  13. Any LVN Dialysis Nurses Here?

    Nurseinthemaking replied to Nurseinthemaking's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    It is a medium between the 2 I guess is what I would say. Base Pay is more then a hospital's base pay but less then a nursing home. But I also have 2 different shift diff's. One for after 4 on the...

  14. Choosing a Specialty

    Nurseinthemaking replied to HRM672's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Hey don't feel bad, this is very normal. I went into school thinking pediatrics was where I wanted to be. It was so funny because after I would walk out of each new rotation I would go, "omg, I loved...

  15. I have blood in my urine

    Nurseinthemaking replied to RN2Bn2006's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    I have Chronic Kidney Stone Disease and everything you are describing is everything I have dealt with. I even woke up one morning peeing blood. I thought I was bleeding out. It scared the crap out of...

  17. Can't find a job! What do you reccomend?

    Nurseinthemaking replied to newflgrad's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Do they not hire GVN's there? Or does Florida not give you a permit to work as a Gradaute Vocational Nurse? The majority of the people in our class (we graduate August 19th) that have gotten jobs are...

  18. how to afford school?

    Nurseinthemaking replied to browneyedgirl73's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Hey whining is aloud when it comes to nursing school, sometimes venting is the best way to get though it. Hey do you know what the pass rate is on this school. What state is this in? I am in Texas,...

  19. how to afford school?

    Nurseinthemaking replied to browneyedgirl73's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Whoa that is high!!! I will just go straight to the point here. I am just finishing up school and I will have to honestly say, If I had to work 1 hour a week, I wouldn't have been able to do it. We...

  20. What was the cost of your LPN school

    Nurseinthemaking replied to mrscableman's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Mine cost right around $3000. Our school has had a 100% NClex pass rate for the last 3 years I think. A friend of mine chose to go to another school which cost her almost $20,000. We looked that...

  21. They didn't teach me this in nursing school and I could have killed someone!

    Nurseinthemaking replied to Roland's topic in General Nursing

    Weird because I am a soon to be GVN and I knew that. I just assumed all new grads would know the issues with COPD and 02. Maybe what it was, was that our instructor had an issue with this herself or...

  23. Expecting RN- Would like suggestions

    Nurseinthemaking replied to expectant's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I think it is normal for most moms to say, I want to do what is best for my baby, so I don't want any drugs during labor. From what I have seen, read and researched the meds they give you, won't hurt...

    Nurseinthemaking posted a topic in General Nursing
