  1. First week of nursing school and I just received a court summons.

    LittleCandles replied to FLnurseprospect's topic in General Students

    Truthfully... I wouldn't miss court, even if it is "just family court." Im dealing with family court for everything under the sun and they're all super important for myself and my children. I would...

  3. LPN/LVN CEU

    LittleCandles replied to Masiel's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    In michigan ours is a lot more then 5. I don't know your states BON policy on CEU's but 5 probably isn't right. You could check with the website. It's probably 24 or 30 or

  4. Jane Doe, RN, AAS, BSN, MSN, CCRN BFD

    LittleCandles replied to Oceanpacific's topic in General Nursing

    I totally agree with it is annoying and most people don't understand half of those anyway, but I'm trying to figure out why you think it's

  5. Strange CoWorker Stories

    LittleCandles replied to Adele_Michal7's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    This actually happened in April. She apparently was talking to minors (12 year olds) on xbox live. She's been doing it for years. Told people at work, our DON knew. Tried to get her mental help. Well,...

  6. Strange CoWorker Stories

    LittleCandles replied to Adele_Michal7's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    When they're under the age of 16.... And you're talking to them in an adult manner and you visit them and buy them what their mom said they couldn't have. Ya

  7. accused of falsifying documentation

    LittleCandles replied to Jrgt312's topic in General Nursing

    I done this and when I ask what I do to fix it. My manager was trying to see if I could just delete it. (Couldn't) I just wrote a nurses note and went on my way. I don't think it's falsifying...

    True true. But... There is always

  9. Quit during orientation

    LittleCandles replied to Themostsupreme's topic in General Students

    Am I the only non-believer here? I feel like the story was true now OP is trying to save

  10. Strange CoWorker Stories

    LittleCandles replied to Adele_Michal7's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I can't think of anything strange but I know a nurse (I'm assuming any day now she won't have a license) who got arrested in the middle of her shift. She was talking to people she shouldn't have been....

  11. Quit during orientation

    LittleCandles replied to Themostsupreme's topic in General Students

    That is why I became a nurse. To control my aides. I run after them and put them in timeout like bad CNA when they disobey. Now that you mention it, they did have a whole course in how to do mind...

  12. NCLEX shut off at 75,

    LittleCandles replied to jenn515's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    You actually have a lot of things on your side here, PVT pass result and minimum question cut off (I heard you have to be failing really really bad to be cut off that early if you failed). I just...

  13. Apologies

    LittleCandles replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    Cool story

  14. Quit during orientation

    LittleCandles replied to Themostsupreme's topic in General Students

    Where are these 60k-80k a year nursing jobs? I'd love one of those. I also do not get paid enough for what I do. Dealing with combative old people, or mentally unstable people. Dealing with death,...

  15. Apologies

    LittleCandles replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah okay

  16. Head to Toe Red Scrubs

    LittleCandles replied to Adele_Michal7's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    It made sense after we were told this (the facility I worked at did some crazy training on it) and I noticed a short time later a dementia patient needing to urinate, so we walked him into his room...

  17. Head to Toe Red Scrubs

    LittleCandles replied to Adele_Michal7's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I never heard about the red causing elevated heart rates. I have heard dementia patients can't see white or black and you look like a floating head lol. We were told to wear brighter colors with...

  18. I'm a sexless nurse

    LittleCandles replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sorry but this made me laugh-- your poor wife. I would be very angry if a nurse of 30+ years continued to ask me to cath their female patients and it has 0 to do with the patient themselves. I...

  19. I'm a sexless nurse

    LittleCandles replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    What? No. I'm saying that if you feel like you cannot (due to your own personal feelings not anyone else's) do very important precedures on half, if not more of our patients why are you in this...

  20. I'm a sexless nurse

    LittleCandles replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    And that's your choice and usually that's known about a particle patient before they're assigned nurses. However it sounds like OP is stating he just will not go near ANY female patients because he is...

    LittleCandles replied to EllePNto2b's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I have birth my third level of nursing school. I had her May 20th and graduated Aug 20th. You can do it. You just gotta stay focused on yor health and studies. Don't stress out. Plan ahead like child...

  23. I'm a sexless nurse

    LittleCandles replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    I have 3 daughters ranging from 8-13 months and I am absolutely okay with a male professional nurse or doctor doing anything medically related to my child. Maybe it's time to hang the ol' scrubs up...

  24. Why do nurses seem to have a bad reputation?

    LittleCandles replied to unbrokenx3's topic in General Nursing
