I've been a nurse three years, mostly in long term care, in knoxville TN, I'm a LPN, where I work we wear a uniform, our scrubs have to be specific color and style.

WHen I was in nursing school a student got kicked out for stealing a prescription pad the doctor had pre signed and wrote her pain medicine and xanax orders. Then recently where I work they got rid of a nurse for giving bedtime meds at five o'clock, but signing the narc book for nin o'clock and calling 911 for herself so she could go home

I have a fairy on my right leg, a world and moon on my left arm, a dolphin on my right arm, a pentacle on my upper back, a dragon on my lower back, and a tribal across my chest. And I'm going wednesday for a new one.

I think you all have missed the point she has not been this way for a few months, but 15 years. He hasn't been the best husband, but wounldn't anyone else have gotten a quickie divorce if they hadn't wanted to deal with this. You see it everyday, I understand a parents grief, but you have to let go at some point, If she told him she didn't want to be kept alive then he did the right thing, and isn't it easier for us to sit on our holier than thou thrones and judge him for what we would have done when you never really know. And I for one hope I never have to.

I had the same situation three years ago when i was a graduate nurse. You have to take things as they come. There are always going to be situations you don't think you're prepared for, but you have to be anyway. It's not always easy, but we are nurses, people think we move mountains when it comes to care, and sometimes we have to. You can change jobs if you like, but what are you going to do if you run into something in home health, you're basically on your own in LTC you have other people to at least bounce ideas off of.
