    Once again.....I'm a "nurse".....

    nursel56 replied to cherrybreeze's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I think the argument refers more to the different pathways to take the NCLEX-RN. There's been a vocal campaign for years by some factions of the nursing world to do away with ADN and diploma avenues...

    Calling a doctor question.

    nursel56 replied to iwashere's topic in General Nursing

    I think it's both polite and professional to identify yourself and say where you are from-- and actually, an effort to avoid having a wife believe it's someone she may think is having an affair with...

    Should a gay male LPN reveal his sexual orientation...

    nursel56 replied to LPNTO's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I started about 4 responses to that comment and the one about "nobody will care" - yours states it most

    One year experience, is it law?

    nursel56 replied to asr10 user's topic in Home Health

    I don't think scope of practice law in CA includes any sort of preliminary time period that would serve the purpose of training or providing practice opportunities for doing something otherwise within...

    Should a gay male LPN reveal his sexual orientation...

    nursel56 replied to LPNTO's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Hey I know lots of girls named Fred. No . . .with children you can say something lighthearted as someone suggested, or say yes and just leave it at that. Kids are naturally curious so I wouldn't get...

    Coworker nurse trying to ruin my reputation...

    nursel56 replied to HM7380's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Yep. Snakes just continue to slither. If one rumor doesn't work out, they'll find another, and another, etc. I'm so averse to fighting back I almost let one of these do me in. What motivates them?...

    Once again.....I'm a "nurse".....

    nursel56 replied to cherrybreeze's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    In that case the patient was in the wrong for making a false assumption. The number of licensed nurses in doctor's offices and clinics is declining, but it was the norm not that long ago. I worked...

    Documentation Questiion

    nursel56 replied to JustBeachyNurse's topic in General Nursing

    If I refer back to another nurse's note (can't recall a specific incidence of doing that though) it would always be followed with my description of how the area looks at the time I see it. I don't...

    Vintage Nurse photos...

    nursel56 replied to Joe V's topic in News, Announcements

    Those look great, Joe! - I don't remember working with an iron lung, but ventilators have changed from big chugging behemoths into very small flat units for home use about the size of a notebook =...

    The War On Fat

    nursel56 replied to Crazed's topic in General Nursing

    When did it become part of the job description of a nurse that you must be an example to your patients? Like we don't have enough to stress ourselves out with already? Certainly, people notice if...

    HIPPO Violations

    nursel56 replied to Bortaz's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    Administrators and educators who do that make me feel unsettled. One of those things that just shouldn't happen, along with calling a cap a "hat".

    nursel56 replied to cherrybreeze's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Hey cherrybreeze! I thought you'd ditched us for good! . . .and yeah, it's from reading allnurses I've become aware of how rampant this is. Now if I can say something about it I do! (ie I comment if...

    The War On Fat

    nursel56 replied to Crazed's topic in General Nursing

    I think most people realize it's impossible to change what another person thinks. It is about what another person, or the majority of others do as a result of those thoughts that violate the rights...

    nursel56 replied to nursehunnie's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Same thing with medical assistants. I've heard people talk about a two-year long MA program and various certifications, but in my state you don't have to set foot in school to be a medical assistant...

    Spouses being asked to leave the room

    This made me mad when I saw it.

    nursel56 replied to netglow's topic in General Nursing

    The imperious tone in the red text is hilarious. They should've just said, "you will kiss our ring (or our royal patootie) and in return we will pay you

    nursel56 replied to nursehunnie's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    This thread has many real-life experiences with this shared by people who face the issue in their workplace. While "I am a nurse assistant" or "I am a student nurse" will usually suffice ---as in...

    6 months LVN program?????

    nursel56 replied to jooona's topic in California Nursing

    I'd say the answer is a 99% no, but I was also certain that a CNA with a certain number of bedside hours could not challenge the NCLEX-PN. I was wrong - so the best place to go for information is the...

    Are you your own worst critic?

    nursel56 replied to Nurse Joey's topic in General Nursing

    Nothing to add - Davey's post is full of wisdom. The answer to the question is yes, I am my own worst critic and still sometimes have the doubts you describe. I think the trick is to tame those...

    Spouses being asked to leave the room

    nursel56 replied to Indenial's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I don't think you are crazy or neurotic for feeling the way you do - nor does it seem that weird if a wife or husband were to ask me why it's necessary. I know you'd ask it in a pleasant way and not...
