    Now I understand what other LPNs meant (PDN)

    nursel56 replied to Busyme10's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I'm glad I started PDN work after having worked in a hospital, clinics and doctor's offices because I liked the pace (usually), interacting wiht lots of different people and the fact that the time...

    Future Shortage in Bedside Nurses

    nursel56 replied to westieluv's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Yep. And this is why I take issue with those who say the lack of jobs for new grads is a temporary part of the boom and bust cycle that happens with every job. The bean counters aren't dreading the...

    Starting Over at 64

    nursel56 replied to Cathy4836's topic in Retired Nurses

    You will definitely need your BLS for healthcare providers and perhaps ACLS, too. I'm not sure if you are aware of the general sea change in the supply and demand ratio for jobs now. I re-entered...

    Newly LVN graduate and I'm unable to secure a job.

    nursel56 replied to josieandthepussycats's topic in Nursing Career

    I agree. All of us have hurdles and disappointments in life, but some people are unwilling to face that. I've read a few that mention lawsuits or asking Governor Brown or the President to intervene...

    Any white middle aged travel nurses out there?

    nursel56 replied to bostonbakednurse's topic in Travel

    You have no clue what it means? Seems to me you know exactly what it means, or you wouldn't have posted your experiment. It's along the lines of "why is there no White History Month?" etc....

    would you drive 31 miles to school ?

    nursel56 replied to Twinkle007's topic in California Nursing

    30 miles one-way here, too. Traffic not so much a problem as it was still dark outside and I was heading west, away from downtown LA. We had to be at our clinical site by 6:30am. @mary - lol at the...

    I wouldn't even joke about that. Guy with stage 4 cancer I give a lifetime pass to give me as many annoyed looks as he wants to. Hell, he can even stick his tongue out at me, put his thumbs in his...

    Being an ugly nurse

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

    We've discussed at length how awesome some young, hot nurses think they are and how that perception fits with what sort of impression they make on patients and coworkers. I still believe that one's...

    Anyone gone from RN back to LPN????

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

    Hi nurseruby, just saw this today and know it's a bit dated, but I would first thoroughly research your state's BON position on that, especially if you felt you didn't get a straight answer the first...

    New Grad Jobs? Tx? Anywhere?

    nursel56 replied to seungk5's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Perhaps you can see the source of confusion on the part of the reader? Your post gave the impression that the state, rather than the facility, determined what the time limit was. I asked you to...

    Being called "ignorant" by your boss- am I over-reacting?

    nursel56 replied to Cat_RN's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    No, you are not overreacting. The name-calling esp in front of the other nurse is abusive. But, before you put in your notice, I'd let the emotion dissipate just a little only for the purposes of...

    Hi Josieandthepussycats - just wanted to concur with what has already been said here, I've never heard of a law that a home health agency must require 1 year of experience, and have worked with new...

    Custom scrubs

    nursel56 replied to algebra_demystified's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I'm thoroughly impressed with your creativity. Design is sort of an avocation of mine - I especially have a soft spot for well-made "work clothes" for lack of a better term. They should last a long...

    LPNs Often Fare Better Than Some Degree Earners

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

    I love that speech, and coincidentally I have a link to it in my signature line. I believe you missed the point about the college education issue and in fact Steve Jobs said just the opposite. If...

    Children's Responses to Multicolor and Themed Uniforms

    I'm kind of surprised that there would be any dissent when it comes to children and bright colors. When I graduated I went immediately to work in a pediatric hospital. Not long after the traditional...

    Why don't people take LPNs seriously?

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

    Use Google Scholar. No, they don't. That's a straw man argument. When you make a statement of fact here, it's really expected that you've done your homework and can readily point us in the...

    Why don't people take LPNs seriously?

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

    You need to provide a link to at least one study that proves your point, which was: Sidroc, first of all, you cut and pasted that directly from one source, which is shoddy. You made a statement...

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

    I'll play! Show your sources, sir. I'm assuming you mean "better patient outcomes". If not please explain what you mean by "higher levels of patient
