  7. First job as a Charge Nurse

    lizscott nurse replied to Nattylpn's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I'm so sorry you had a tough night. It will get better. The crappy abby will either soften up or you'll toughen up or both. It's hard at first, but really try to stick up for yourself. I've worked...

  8. Not a real nurse??

    lizscott nurse replied to xmaxiex's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    We hurt our profession by not valuing each and every member of our body (and this is really extreme but I think this includes our nurse aides as well). I whole heartily agree!!! I value my resident...

  9. where in north carolina?

    lizscott nurse replied to paula77720's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    We're planning a move from NW Ohio to the Raleigh area (Clayton?) in a few months. We love the Outer Banks. I know you get to the ocean sooner if you go south-east rather than the banks. What...

  11. Long term care isn't for me - does this mean I'm not cut out for nursing?

    lizscott nurse replied to secondfiddle's topic in Nursing Career

    Not all LTC's smell that way. The one I work in seldom smells of urine/feces. And then it's only if someone has a major blow-out. But we keep all the yucky stuff tied up in separate plastic bags...

  12. What Is Your Most Gross, Yucky, Disgusting Nursing Horror Story?

    lizscott nurse replied to yazisizit's topic in Nursing Humor

    I'll never be able to hold a Q-tip again! Like everyone else I'm green around the edges. This is definately the one that gets the gold star for major gross out. I just can't get over that the guy...

  13. Long term care isn't for me - does this mean I'm not cut out for nursing?

    lizscott nurse replied to secondfiddle's topic in Nursing Career

    I agree with everyone else. There are so many ways to go with nursing. I also wanted to add that not all LTC's are the same. I have worked at a couple like you describe and didn't stay long. I also...

  14. Not a real nurse??

    lizscott nurse replied to xmaxiex's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Are you implying that LPN's aren't professionals? I don't get all this hostility. It must be quit different in other areas of the country, because it's certainly not like this where I

  15. Not a real nurse??

    lizscott nurse replied to xmaxiex's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    In the area I work, which is Assisted Living/LTC I am not less qualified to take orders. I'm not sure why you replied to my post. You sound very angry. My only point is that LPN's are real nurses...

  16. Not a real nurse??

    lizscott nurse replied to xmaxiex's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I work in Ohio and at my present position do not need an RN to sign off on anything. I work solo as a charge nurse in a 31 bed unit. In my last job we needed RN's to do dental assessments only....

  17. Going to school for LPN? Help please!

    lizscott nurse replied to sarahnf's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Hi! I think most people, if they're honest about it, get some degree of anxiety doing skills in front of their peers. That's natural. If you keep thinking of nursing perhaps you should take the...
