    texas_lvn replied to classactkellie's topic in General Nursing

    Wow. I actually just left a HH job because of this. As soon as you walk in the door to this 18yo 130lb female, all I did was run, run, run. Start off by changing her, positioning her, getting meds,...

  4. Your Worst Mistake

  5. What have other nurses done that have freaked you out?

    texas_lvn replied to texas_lvn's topic in General Nursing

  8. Experienced Nurses Only

    texas_lvn replied to RunningWithScissors's topic in General Nursing

    texas_lvn replied to Sandi0302's topic in General Nursing

  10. Experienced Nurses Only

    texas_lvn replied to RunningWithScissors's topic in General Nursing

    I can actually see where you are going, and I see that you are from Texas, so you realize that LVN's have pretty much the same experiences/autonomy as you. Are you saying that LVNs are not allowed to...

    texas_lvn replied to texas_lvn's topic in General Nursing

    texas_lvn replied to texas_lvn's topic in General Nursing
