   niobe527 replied to VivaLasViejas's topic in General Nursing

   my sympathies to you....it's almost the same thing at where i work, but our pharmacy REQUIRES a signed script before they "allow" you the privilege of getting into the narcotic box.:hdvwl:

2. "You cannot have BSN or MSN on your nametag?"

   niobe527 replied to nursebrandie28's topic in General Nursing

   gee and to think that where i work we're still trying to get them to quit listing our last names on our badges, much less that we're lpn, rn, cna whatever.

3. LPN...Is it a good move?

   niobe527 replied to Hopefull nurse's topic in Louisiana

   Go for it... you'll get that experience under your belt and you'll find out just how much you'll like the job. Also being an LPN isn't a bad thing, it's just a different route.

4. If you could invent nursing supplies, what would it be?

   niobe527 replied to rn2bn07's topic in General Nursing

   Since I work in LTC can I have someone invent an anti-gravity device to keep the pt IN the bed and not the floor, so I would just have to chart how many times they tried to defy gravity and not incident reports

8. Day shift nurses needed...WHAT??!!

   niobe527 replied to mondkmondk's topic in General Nursing

   I've worked 2p-10p shift for 3 years in LTC & I'm finally going to 3rd shift where I don't have the DON giving me a "honey-do" list anymore . Don't get me wrong, where I work the administation isn't circling like vultures, but I needed a change.
