  1. OMG Say it correctly!

    Elle23 replied to seanynjboy's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    This isn't really mispronunciation, but I get really twitchy any time someone texts me "thx" instead of "thanks". If you can't find it in you to type 3 more measly letters, it makes me think you...

  2. Losing my religion

    Elle23 replied to jadelpn's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    I'm not exactly sure how it works. I just know what I have read on the website. Personally, I think it is wonderful, and if I ever get to do hospice (which is my ultimate goal), that is the company I...

  4. Losing my religion

    Elle23 replied to jadelpn's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    Hmmm...not sure if there is medicare reimbursement. But the point isn't for the hospice to be exclusively for Christians, but to win people who aren't Christians to Christ before they pass on into...

  6. How much was your lpn program?

    Elle23 replied to joyfullpn's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Wow... Though I don't recall the exact figure, my LVN program back in 1990 wasn't more than $1500-2000. 15, 000??? That is

  7. Losing my religion

    Elle23 replied to jadelpn's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    I have a question... What do you all think about a Christian nurse working for a privately owned and openly (and unapologetically) Christian hospice? Is it wrong to witness to these patients (who had...

  8. Losing my religion

    Elle23 replied to jadelpn's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    Ok.

  9. Losing my religion

    Elle23 replied to jadelpn's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    Yes we can. Those without Jesus Christ are without God. The Bible is explicitly clear about

  10. Losing my religion

    Elle23 replied to jadelpn's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    I am not trying to read something that isn't there. I'm just trying to figure out whether or not you believe Jesus Christ is the only way to salvation. If so, I am not understanding your point in...

  11. What Are The Most Creative Call-off Excuses You Have Heard?

    Elle23 replied to bluegeegoo2's topic in Nursing Professionalism

  12. Losing my religion

    Elle23 replied to jadelpn's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    Do you believe the Bible where Jesus says He is the way, the truth, and the life, and that no man comes to the Father but by Him? (John 14:6) Or where it says (referring to Jesus) neither is there...

  13. Losing my religion

    Elle23 replied to jadelpn's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    I don't think patients should be turned away because they are the "wrong religion". I just think it is absurd to willingly go to a Catholic hospital and then throw a fit because the Catholic hospital...

  14. She won't give me a chance!

    Elle23 replied to Elle23's topic in Private Duty

    Things have been MUCH better the last few shifts!! I hope it continues! He was only difficult to console once, and even then I think he would have calmed with a little more time. The family has been...

  15. She won't give me a chance!

    Elle23 posted a topic in Private Duty

    First off, I want to say that I love my patient's family, and they have been nothing but kind and gracious to me However, I have been having a bit of a problem. I work night shift for a 10 month old...

  16. Losing my religion

    Elle23 replied to jadelpn's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    I am not Catholic, but I find this sad. What do people expect when they go to a CATHOLIC hospital?? I say shame on the Catholic system for caving and not standing firm and staying true to what they...

  17. Losing my religion

    Elle23 replied to jadelpn's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    If patients do not know I am a Christian, I am doing something wrong... And that has nothing to do with expecting patients to share my views or convert. I am what I am by the grace of God. I don't...

  18. Losing my religion

    Elle23 replied to jadelpn's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    Whoa.... Lose my religion when I go to work?? Are you serious? My religion (the Lord Jesus Christ to be more specific) is all that I have and all that I am. I am nothing at all without Him. How,...

  19. I feel like I caused a patient's death and I can't get over it

    Elle23 replied to jane82's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I made my fair share of mistakes as a new nurse, and it was only by the grace of God I didn't kill someone. As difficult as they are to have to go through, those circumstances are a major way that we...

  20. Nurses aren't maids!

    Elle23 replied to AnaCatRN's topic in Private Duty

    My patient has severe retching episodes, and I have a hard time getting to the bathroom much less running around doing chores. I pretty much have to be within an arm's reach of him at all times. I can...

  21. Surveillance cameras in pedi patient's home?

    Elle23 replied to lovelane78's topic in Private Duty

    I understand. It did take some getting used to for me. I think a camera or monitor can serve as much for our protection as it does the patient's. If there is ever a question regarding care I have...

  22. She won't give me a chance!

    Elle23 replied to Elle23's topic in Private Duty

    Ugh... a horrible night....and this time the PCG gave me plenty of time to console the child. He just would not accept anything but her. I sure do hope this is a passing

  23. Surveillance cameras in pedi patient's home?

    Elle23 replied to lovelane78's topic in Private Duty

    Just because you don't see a camera doesn't mean there isn't one. I'm not sure why a nurse would purposely block a camera. What do you have to hide? At the very least it makes you look like you have...

  24. She won't give me a chance!

    Elle23 replied to Elle23's topic in Private Duty

    My patient woke up in the BEST mood the other morning...smiling at me and giggling when I was playing with him! He doesn't hate me after all. =-) I am still having trouble calming him, though, when he...

  25. What do you do when you have cancelled shifts?

    Elle23 replied to tots24's topic in Private Duty

    I have very steady hours and have never been cancelled. However, I don't think I could do private duty if I were the sole wage earner in my home. I still feel like I shouldn't enter into any financial...
