  1. Nurses using pot

    LPNer replied to Kashia's topic in General Nursing

    Wow, I didn't think it would be that long, but then I am not a chemist! On the other hand, just because a compound has not reached it's half-life does not mean it is strong enough to alter behavior...

  2. Why do so many nurses seem to dislike working in Med/Surg

    LPNer replied to LovePeaceJoy's topic in General Nursing

    That's the type of unit I worked on right out of school, it was a great unit! Matter of fact, that unit was at the same hospital I work at now, though I have been all over the country between then and...

  3. Foul Mouthed Nurse

    LPNer replied to LadyMadonna's topic in General Nursing

    I, and probably everybody else in this world, has passed gas at the most inopportune time, I have never known what to say! What does one say, other than excuse me? I've said that before only to find...

  4. Premium member

    LPNer posted a topic in General Nursing

    I finally found the link to become a premium member, the son brought in the grandbabies in and I lost it! I can't find it again. I even took a few minutes to decide if maybe fate doesn't want me to be...

    Thanks, I found it again and had just come back here (in another window) to say thanks to all who would have answered. Thank you

  6. holding a baby in after being fully dilated??

    LPNer replied to court519's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Very true, but I still do not believe she "held that baby in" for almost 2 hours. There is a chance she could have (with a lot of support) not pushed for two hours, but thee's no way on Gods' green...

  7. Foul Mouthed Nurse

    LPNer replied to LadyMadonna's topic in General Nursing

    Oh gees, sounds like she is just not professional material. Darn shame she managed to pass the

  8. PDA use for nurses?

    LPNer replied to WIEZ's topic in General Nursing

    I have been trying to decide which one to buy! There are sooooo many! Please, recommend! What are you using? I would love to have the calandar, Davis Drug guide (love that one!) Merck (or some other...

  9. Foul Mouthed Nurse

    LPNer replied to LadyMadonna's topic in General Nursing

    Vulgar language has become the (what's the word) norm in our society. So many people use words that the rest of us find down right oh YUCK and see nothing wrong with it. Trying to tell those people...

  10. Nurse donating kidney to dialysis patient

    LPNer replied to rnmi2004's topic in General Nursing

    As much as I have said it is a mistake on the nurses part, you are very right in saying that it isn't for us to judge! It is her choice, I can only state my own humble opinion about it. MY opinion may...

  11. Nurse donating kidney to dialysis patient

    LPNer replied to rnmi2004's topic in General Nursing

    I think your comparrison is to generic for the giving of a kidney. If she were so moved to donate her kidneys to the general public, she would have done so already just as she, you or I would pull...

  12. Why do so many nurses seem to dislike working in Med/Surg

    LPNer replied to LovePeaceJoy's topic in General Nursing

    Give it a break. I TOTALLY understand the implications in the matter. But, unless you are a total stick in the mud who sees no humor in the human body and the way natural proccesses alter the way...

  13. Why do so many nurses seem to dislike working in Med/Surg

    LPNer replied to LovePeaceJoy's topic in General Nursing

    I would love to have seen the Dub-Hoff coming out the peg site! Just too funny! And, so is watching the disorganized nurse who still tries to gather a million or so pieces of paper for each pt she is...

  14. Nurse donating kidney to dialysis patient

    LPNer replied to rnmi2004's topic in General Nursing

    I also think it is crossing the line. Keep a separation between personal and professional. Donating a kidny is very personal and not in the nurses best interest! How many other ways can I say this?...

  15. no abduction pillow w/ THR

    LPNer replied to mommynmaddie's topic in Orthopedic

    We have Docs who do not use the abductor pillow, but they go with regular pillows. If you also have a lot of knee replacements, you would know that crossing your legs is out of the question with that...

  16. Visas for overseas nurse...

    LPNer replied to phoenix24rn's topic in General Nursing

    I am fine with somebody deciding to move to the states who happens to be a nurse, I am against however, recruiting internationally. The states do not make the most of the nurses that are already here....

  17. holding a baby in after being fully dilated??

    LPNer replied to court519's topic in Ob/Gyn

    What? You can't hold a baby in! They come when they are ready. Pushing? Yes, we can not help but push when the baby says push but I have known women who tried not to, not an easy thing to do! How...

  18. Nurses using pot

    LPNer replied to Kashia's topic in General Nursing

    Seems like Cali and one state on the east coast has approved it, was it Mass? I am not sure, just recall reading someplace that it had been approved in a second state. Cali may have even revoked that...

  19. Why Do We Tolerate This?

    LPNer replied to kmchugh's topic in Men in Nursing

    As crude as it sounds the Doc is simply trying to protect himself and the nurse. In the ER especially you just don't know who you have there and so many women (everybody for that matter) are simply...

  20. Call Offs

    LPNer replied to nurseangel78's topic in General Nursing

    Unfortunately there are those, and they are usually the ones driven to be in management, who do not miss work. Of course they are also the ones who have a major MI at 40 something, or are bitter and...

  21. Pt got no care all night

    LPNer posted a topic in General Nursing

    Last night I clocked in at 2358. Printed out a copy of shift census/report sheets and proceeded to get my assignment of the assignment sheet. I circled my 5 pts room numbers on the report sheet and...

  22. Pt got no care all night

    LPNer replied to LPNer's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you, I am still feeling as though it was a bad dream! Yes, we did have one CNA last night, 4 nurses and 22 pts. He came to me to ask for help with several pts through the night (if you had read...

  23. Pt got no care all night

    LPNer replied to LPNer's topic in General Nursing

    We all think it is the management. The nurse manager didn't want the job but somehow they talked her into it because nobody wanted to deal with building up a good staff base. She doesn't seem to have...

  24. Lpn To Rn?

    LPNer replied to JLWLPN's topic in Ohio Nursing

    The Wright State program is only partially online. Pre-reqs and that which the LPN can test out of, the rest is on campus, checked it out less than a year

  25. Pt got no care all night

    LPNer replied to LPNer's topic in General Nursing

    He had, from what I understand BLE and one wrist restraint. Could have been BUE and one LE, I really don't know for sure. Restrained pts do not get 1:1 nursing care, they do, however, get assessed...
