  2. Private duty lpn, rn supervisor??

    realnursealso/LPN replied to Frenchie10's topic in Private Duty

    Not every state has the same requirements. I don't need any RN working with me if I wanted to get my number and bill and work on my own in NYS. Don't be so quick to say it has to be this way. Not...

  3. Conflict with a coworker

    realnursealso/LPN replied to phlebo2rn's topic in General Students

    It is rude an inconsiderate for them to do that. If they were not saying anything that mattered why didn't they speak in English? I'm a homecare nurse who does shifts in a Spanish/English household. I...

  8. Co-worker asked how much I make an hour

    realnursealso/LPN replied to coffeeSTAT's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I agree, it's no one else's business what your salary is. That is why I think threads on here started with the title, "What is Your Salary", are rude and totally unprofessional. Next time tell them,...

  9. Lost 1st job because "there are things they don't teach in Nursing School"

    realnursealso/LPN replied to studentjoy's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    If this ever happens again, and the rn ignores you, just go to the residents chart. Write reported change in residents condition to blank rn. Describe what the person is c/o . Guess what, it is...

    realnursealso/LPN replied to SDALPN's topic in Private Duty

    People like that drive me crazy. When I encounter nurses like that, I just ignore them. I've seen the same attitude on here, reading old threads. You know, the "I'm quoting the procedure manual here,...

    realnursealso/LPN replied to KATRN78's topic in Private Duty

    Sit on the floor? UM........NEVER! A lot of these are fine examples of PARENT BULLYING, and stupid agencies thinking that nurses will put up with it. No parent can act that way unless they are allowed...

  17. Private Duty for New Grads

    realnursealso/LPN replied to reginarn88's topic in Private Duty

    realnursealso/LPN replied to AnaCatRN's topic in Private Duty
