  3. New nurse starting night shift

    NOADLS replied to jlogan's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Night shift as in 11-7 or 7-7? There's a world of difference between the two. Bring a book / laptop / whatever you want to keep yourself occupied. There will be a lot of downtime after you get used to...

  7. NIGHT SHIFT CENTRAL!

    NOADLS replied to meanmaryjean's topic in General Nursing

    Could be 1 of 2 things: 1) This is likely because I work in LTC where you (and anyone telling that I am wrong to say this) are working at a hospital. Would I be correct in saying this? 2) My shift is...

  8. LPN forced to work as CNA

    NOADLS replied to jg24's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    That's a good way to lose LPN's. If they have trouble keeping their CNA's, putting LPN's in a spot where they have an undesirable job would also put their willingness to work at risk. You don't solve...

  9. Give me some hope...Is ANYONE happy being a nurse??

    NOADLS replied to Rebekah1882's topic in General Nursing

    Nursing makes me happy because there is money to be made. As you say, there are certainly A LOT more opportunities in

  10. Pet Peeve

    NOADLS replied to SleeepyRN's topic in Patient Medications

    I am quite shocked to hear some of the comments in here. I really appreciate the CNA's that let me know that patient xyz needs their PRN and the same CNA's appreciate me as I am proactive about making...

  11. Is this risking my license?

    NOADLS replied to chende's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    The ratios you are working with aren't anything out of the norm. The job you have isn't that far off from mine, but because you're a new grad and haven't been exposed to situations that you would...

  12. Would you give a formal 2wk notice when quitting a PRN job

    NOADLS replied to Nola009's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Give formal notice, but they can't do much if you aren't

  13. NIGHT SHIFT CENTRAL!

    NOADLS replied to meanmaryjean's topic in General Nursing

    Just because I don't want to change diapers doesn't make me a slacker, nor am I self centered. At least once per rotation, I order food for our shift. On top of that, I voluntarily do some complex...

    NOADLS replied to meanmaryjean's topic in General Nursing

  15. Nursing Career

    NOADLS replied to Ambitious83's topic in General Nursing

    I live a much healthier life right now and I am raking in the money. I've also learned that I should remain single as people with families can't commit to OT and miss out on good money / easy shifts....

  16. NIGHT SHIFT CENTRAL!

    NOADLS replied to meanmaryjean's topic in General Nursing

    I don't do rounds with the CNA(s). Rest of the stuff I am 100% on top of and still have plenty of time on my hands. LTC Rough one for your support

  17. LTC to hospital.

    NOADLS replied to she85's topic in General Nursing

    I've had some bad luck with this, mostly because I am visibly disappointed when the person interviewing me tells me there are no CNA's to do all of the ADLS I don't want to

  18. NIGHT SHIFT CENTRAL!

    NOADLS replied to meanmaryjean's topic in General Nursing

    Do a quarter of the work (if that ) that day shift does about 99% of the time (the other 1% I like to tell myself that it's a more than fair trade off to get the rest of the shifts nice and quiet) and...

  19. Different Lingo Depending where you practice nursing

    NOADLS replied to RNKPCE's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I know there is a lot of opposition to calling a diaper a diaper, but I try to empathize with the companies that manufacture diapers. To call them something they aren't would be degrading to the...

  20. revoked lpn license

    NOADLS replied to lakeisha3414's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    So you can't practice in LA... what's stopping you from working

  21. Torn - advice appreciated

    NOADLS replied to kttc's topic in General Nursing

    We all have our slice of cake; sitting down and doing paperwork isn't yours. Doing ADLS isn't mine. I wouldn't step into a position where I'd be doing ADLS and if I did, I'd find something else.....

    NOADLS replied to RNKPCE's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    NOADLS replied to maeskmio's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

  24. Regular insulin instead of Humulin 70/30

    NOADLS replied to nb0426881's topic in Patient Medications

    By "regular" insulin, do you mean Humulin R or something along those lines? If so, it will act a lot quicker and there will be no long acting part of the insulin. If this is a matter of 10 units, the...

  25. Hows the LPN Job Market in your area?

    NOADLS replied to ecclecticlylovelylvn's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I've worked with some LPNs that cried me rivers about how hard it is to find a job in the hospital and all they could find is LTC. They then proceed to tell me that they can only work during the day...
