  1. Nursing job market in Las Vegas

    Lapzs replied to Independence8's topic in Health, Stress Management

    I have no experience elsewhere, so I can't provide a comparison. I became a nurse about 2 years ago in Las Vegas, got a job a month after I passed my NCLEX, and have since gotten 2 per diem jobs. All...

  2. Accusation Against Male Nurse (Me)

    Lapzs posted a topic in General Nursing

    So here's the story. I am a male RN. Recently, I had a conflict while at work with a female CNA. For the sake of anonymity and simplicity, I will call her Jen. A relative of a patient of ours asked...

  3. Accusation Against Male Nurse (Me)

    Lapzs replied to Lapzs's topic in General Nursing

    I appreciate everyone's input, but it seems like some people formed a different perception, both of the event itself and of Jen and I. Others seemed to have read the story but did not absorb all of...

  4. Accusation Against Male Nurse (Me)

    Lapzs replied to Lapzs's topic in General Nursing

    My final set of clarifications: 1. I couldn't wrap the IV after my med passes. I didn't have the opportunity. I was in the process of finishing up my med passes when I was suddenly bombarded with...

  5. Accusation Against Male Nurse (Me)

    Lapzs replied to Lapzs's topic in General Nursing

    Agreed. However, I can't perform my job if she doesn't perform hers. We both have roles to play and unfortunately, she cannot perform all of mine. So I prioritized, like I'm supposed to do as the RN,...

    I think your post sums up pretty well my forethoughts on this entire

  7. Accusation Against Male Nurse (Me)

    Lapzs replied to Lapzs's topic in General Nursing

    I already addressed your concerns in this thread. Many times. I think you have an incorrect perception of what happened. I didn't tell her to stop her lunch. I told her the task can wait until...

  8. Accusation Against Male Nurse (Me)

    Lapzs replied to Lapzs's topic in General Nursing

    I disagree. Though, I can see how I may have come off as such. 1. I already clarified this. I think 5 times now. I won't explain any more. 2. Stopping her from leaving was definitely a mistake. I...

    Lapzs replied to Lapzs's topic in General Nursing

    Well, it's the truth. Oftentimes, they offer me some but I learned quickly that their sprays only make my own BO

  10. Accusation Against Male Nurse (Me)

    Lapzs replied to Lapzs's topic in General Nursing

    WOAH! I'm glad to see that a lot of people are willing to provide their input. I appreciate what everyone has said. No need to fight with one another. Here's a summary of my thoughts so far: 1....

  12. Accusation Against Male Nurse (Me)

    Lapzs replied to Lapzs's topic in General Nursing

    It sounds like it was my wording that confused you. Semantics and diction were never strong suits of mine. I've stated the truth from my perspective as best as I could. Whether you believe me based on...

  13. Accusation Against Male Nurse (Me)

    Lapzs replied to Lapzs's topic in General Nursing

    This happened quite recently, so I haven't heard anything from my director or anybody in upper management. As I said in my original post, I was just told by my charge RN literally the day after this...

  14. Accusation Against Male Nurse (Me)

    Lapzs replied to Lapzs's topic in General Nursing

    I don't understand your suspicions. Perhaps it was due to my wording? Or maybe a lack of clarification? I think I've re-explained and elaborated on this part of the story, like, 3 times now. I'll...

  15. Accusation Against Male Nurse (Me)

    Lapzs replied to Lapzs's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with you. I would have wrapped up the IV myself after I finished my med passes. However, as I said in my original post, I had just finished my last or second-to-last med pass and walking down...

  16. Accusation Against Male Nurse (Me)

    Lapzs replied to Lapzs's topic in General Nursing

    I thought I explained this part already. Before all of this happened, I was having my lunch. Towards the end of my lunch, she came in. I didn't ask whether she was on break (15 mins) or lunch (30...

  17. Accusation Against Male Nurse (Me)

    Lapzs replied to Lapzs's topic in General Nursing

    As I said in previous comments, I was in the middle of something I deemed took priority over an IV wrapping. I even explained to the family and they were fine with it. It was only Jen who had a...

  18. Accusation Against Male Nurse (Me)

    Lapzs replied to Lapzs's topic in General Nursing

    I agree. For that, I need to apologize to her. However, only that. I would have done it if I wasn't in the middle of something that I felt was more important. Pain and BP meds and antibiotics...

  19. Accusation Against Male Nurse (Me)

    Lapzs replied to Lapzs's topic in General Nursing

    Agreed. I think I should apologize as well, to save both our professional and personal relationships and to maintain harmony on the floor. However, I also feel that she should apologize to me as well...

  20. Accusation Against Male Nurse (Me)

    Lapzs replied to Lapzs's topic in General Nursing

    I appreciate your opinion. Though, I should clarify some things: 1. I was in the hall walking my WoW and myself down to pass meds. Not in the room but in front of it. I knew Jen was in the break room...

    Yes! As a male on this forum, I say good on you for leaving

  23. Failed out of nursing school. Do I have a fair chance of getting into another?

    Lapzs replied to Keisha2017's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I feel compelled to type this post because I was also a student who failed from nursing school in my third semester. I failed from my local large public university nursing program. Two Cs in my third...

  24. Help!!Does anyone know of BSN programs that will accept failed nursing school students

    Lapzs replied to Kenny Rogers's topic in General Students

    OP, your situation is similar to mine. I failed out of my BSN program at my local public university in my third semester. Fortunately, there was another local public college that had a BSN program...

  25. Happy nurses week! Failed BSN by .81 points

    Lapzs replied to Psha's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I'm pretty late to this, but I also failed out of my BSN program after failing two classes in third semester. I was denied readmission and the right to retake the classes, but I managed to transfer...
