1. Can a RN legally supervise BSN's and MSN's?

   payitforward replied to cosmicjustice's topic in General Nursing

   The comments I have seen in this thread have been ones I have heard throughout the 30 plus years I have been in nursing. A few years ago, a similar thread was posted. I was ostracized for my answer...

2. G-Tube fed and oral feeding

   payitforward replied to beachynurse's topic in School

   This sounds like a law suit waiting to happen, especially when you say the mother is difficult with every one. I would make sure that there are ORDERS by an MD stating that the child can have both...

3. How can I word this to my manager when she asks me to pick up extra?

   payitforward replied to Nurse4lifewithparrots's topic in General Nursing

   Well, it does appear that she is being quite petty giving all your OT shifts to an agency nurse. The issue I have is the fact that she ASSUMED you got your hair done! So what if you did? What you do...

4. Can a RN legally supervise BSN's and MSN's?

   payitforward replied to cosmicjustice's topic in General Nursing

   I'm sorry if I get any backlash from this comment but as long as she is QUALIFIED for the position who cares? This is one of the reasons why I am out of nursing. There is ALWAYS someone who feels that...

5. Going to work when you should of called out. What's your thoughts on this?

   payitforward replied to RUNNER87RCC's topic in General Nursing

   I don't go to work when I'm sick. That's it. You put yourself and the people around you in jeopardy of being sick as well. If I get written up because I called out sick, so be it. I have always...

6. Lazy Coworkers?

   payitforward replied to thenursebabe25's topic in General Nursing

   Okay, I think we ALL have had that co-worker we don't like working behind but this is ridiculous! First off, if she is signing off on treatments that were not done you have a responsibility to report...

7. South Carolina LPNs Arrested For Not Changing Wound Dressings

   payitforward replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

   Seems a little harsh, but it appears we don't know the whole story. BUT! Why would they be documenting they did it when it wasn't done? That is an offense right there. I'm going with a disgruntled...

8. Entitled Nurses

   I agree 1000%!!! Unfortunately in the career field some think that we deserve NOTHING. That every thing is " part of the job ". Everyone deserves common courtesy and

10. Should Hospitals Rehire LPNs/LVNs?

    payitforward replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    " Even though technically I was senior to them" therein lies the problem. Most of what I have read isn't really welcoming . Guess you all Forgot that Lpn/LVNS must study, sit boards and do clinicals....

11. Should Hospitals Rehire LPNs/LVNs?

    payitforward replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    I honestly believe that one of the first things that NEEDS to happen is that LPN/LVNs need to be acknowledged as NURSES. We had to study, do clinical and sit boards just as our counterparts

12. Should Hospitals Rehire LPNs/LVNs?

    payitforward replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    You know what? I read this article and I am really slightly bothered at the tone of the article. Why is there ALWAYS the connotation that LPNs/LVNs are " less than"? I know many an LPN/LVN that have...

13. Did She Violate Patient Confidentiality?

    payitforward replied to 0121Mednurse's topic in General Nursing

    Whether she did violate HIPPA is suspect. There are some medical conditions that will appear to be alcohol intoxication. I think she should have just told the sherif about the odor of alcohol and let...

14. New Nurse: Discouraged and Wanting to Quit

    payitforward replied to newgrad_13019's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I so totally understand how you feel! The culture of nursing is definitely a strange one, and is VERY clique oriented. Why I will never know, the CONSTANT arguing who is better- RN OR LPN, trainers...

15. New Job Not Working Out

    payitforward replied to Gma24's topic in General Nursing

    After your training, will you have to see them again? Will they be a part of your day to day activities? If not, leave them where they are, rise above what they have and haven’t taught you and do...
