  1. Any guys pursuing nursing for future wife

    arob1489 replied to Big_Mike's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Ok ladies lets not get our panties in a bunch. It's just a question. Honestly, if you're good at what you do then I'm glad to have you in the nursing workforce. I wouldn't mind meeting my husband in...

  2. I hate being a nurse

    arob1489 replied to okthen's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    The poster defn said what I think a lot of ppl feel at some point regardless of what position you hold in a ltc facility. Uninvolved families can be the worst. They ruffle their feathers up as if they...

  3. Weather

    arob1489 replied to sbergmann17's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I personally would be really upset if I or someone I cared about got hirt or stuck in a blizzard trying to make it in for training or an inservice type thing. Also, I know what it is like to make it...

  4. Taking away chairs from nursing station

    arob1489 replied to pinkessence_58467's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Did they think about the nurses that work doubles and would be standing for 16 hours? That's just ridiculous and very bad for a nurses back and

  5. Packing my bag to leave the medical field for good.

    arob1489 replied to ForlornHealer's topic in LPN to RN

    Well, those board people sure didn't have a problem giving him the run around and taking his money. Those people like to play games and leave out pertinent info. If they knew they didn't have his...

  6. Applying for a job at McDonalds...first test scores were given today

    arob1489 replied to loveoverpride's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Take pride in the fact that you are a very funny person! That, I find, makes for a good nurse, the rest is just mechanics :) I learned not to draw from my own thoughts or experiences or expectations...

  7. Why won't people stop nagging me about being an LPN and not an RN?

    arob1489 replied to admiralqueenie's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I am bothered when people tell me that as well. There are so many other environments other than nursing homes that lpns can work in. The can work in hospitals, clinics, medical centers, home care,...

  8. Nurse: 'I was fired for refusing flu shot'

    arob1489 replied to DesertRN2's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Ok lindy, but what about those that get the flu shot and still get sick? Or people that have an allergic reaction to it? Or religious groups that are against injections? Should nurses in those...

  9. Those hard clinical days....

    arob1489 replied to I♥Scrubs's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I completely agree. I wish more healthcare professionals were like that. It doesn't matter what that patient is in for, I am a human being and expect to be treated like one. People should be a little...

  10. The moments that make LPN school totally worth it...

    arob1489 replied to nekozuki's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    If you like the stories here, I suggest you read chicken soup for the nurses soul. It is full of them. Very well done. I actualpy cried reading some. They also have chick en soup for the nurses soul...

    arob1489 replied to pnkgirl25's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Oh and don't forget, lpns can get certifications that can help land a specific

  12. Really hating school right now...

    arob1489 replied to pnkgirl25's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I understand the original posters complaint. It is kind of ridiculous that all three of her clinical rotations have been with geriatric patients and the next one will be a daycare. I would feel a...

  13. Where are compassionate caring educators

    arob1489 replied to Cornhusk's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I think there is always wiggle room. At the end of the day it is someone sitting behind a desk with a pen in hand checking off student hours. Depending on how far into clinicals your class was, they...

  14. CNA to LPN to RN

    arob1489 replied to fasnv's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I am a cna in massachusetts. Nursing programs are competitive but that's not why I chose to be a cna. I chose to work as a cna to gain healthcare experience but also so I wouldn't take any part of...

  15. Med-Surg floor sucks, and nursing unions

    arob1489 replied to coco42rn's topic in Medical-Surgical

    Ps, if you wanted to try to beat the system, I heard that if you work for a sort of "franchise" type facility that has locations all over, if you start working in a high paying state then transfer to...

  16. Med-Surg floor sucks, and nursing unions

    arob1489 replied to coco42rn's topic in Medical-Surgical

    I don't think guttercat is suggesting people migrate to better paying states. I think guttercat is just flabbergasted that people are ok with being underappreciated and overworked with little tangible...
