  1. What type of family member drives you craziest?

    Oh yeh, or the "my (fill in the blank) is a lawyer" or better yet "I am a lawyer" and profess to know EVERYTHING about the care of their loved one and every bit of what they claim they know is detrimental to the patient. Think along the lines of "my ...
  2. What states allow LPN/LVN in the hospitals??

    Virginia if you're willing to come on down!
  3. 1. I know you get a bonus for cheating patients out of proper patient care, so you benefit monetarily for creating this horrible environment. I know this, and so does God, then 2. I QUIT, and then 3. I'll be watching for a time when you are in a nurs...
  4. Tulsa LPN Opportunities

    Looking like a move to Tulsa will be in the cards after all. What is the outlook for LPNs in the Tulsa area in area hospitals? If not hospitals, where else?
  5. do you ever have "stupid" days at work?

    No "LENS" bifocals? Perhaps thats my problem too. I'd better go check to make sure my bifocals have lenses! hahaha! At my age I have more stupid moments than I would care to admit to!
  6. Pharmacy Diverting meds? (long)

    Of course report it! If they are doing nothing wrong then they will be cleared. If they are, then the diversion will be caught and hopefully the perpetrator(s) will be sent to where they can do no more harm. Too many times people sit by and watch th...
  7. Safety Sheath Syringes

    First of all, let me say I don't like these new syringes at ALL. The safety sheaths are semi-opaque making it hard to discern exact measurements. I've had the sheath move during the injection process as well, particularly when withdrawing to be sure ...
  8. Out of nursing program cause i am smoker!!!

    This response is totally off topic with regard to the OP's predicament, but your post brought to mind something that happened several years ago. Unfortunately Mavis we, the older generation, may have created this monster. Years ago when my son had ju...
  9. Inventions for Nurses

    I'm not asking for much (I don't think) when I wish for scrubs that find a way to reasonably accommodate all the things we need to carry around (cellphone, pager, variety of pens, scissors, sticky notes, etc). Its getting to the point where I can't ...
  10. Out of nursing program cause i am smoker!!!

    Agreed! One of the two respiratory arrests I've witnessed had to do with a reactionary response to perfume worn by a visitor upon entering a patient room.
  11. Out of nursing program cause i am smoker!!!

    Just a few comments: 1. The threat to tell your mother is ridiculous and I can't see where your instructor might feel this is in any way helpful (unless you are under 18). 2. The required report on lying may not be too far-fetched. By breaking the k...
  12. Patient complaints

    Yes, I'm familiar with the "armchair MDs". They seem to come out of the woodwork with their knowledge gained from magazine articles, incomplete facts and what the neighbor's uncle's friend told them. EMTs are good people that do a fantastic job, but...
  13. What's your holiday bonus?

    Bonus? What bonus? The most I ever received was when I was working outside of nursing, where it was $750. Sure do miss that bonus, but not the job.
  14. I got Fired today....

    Sorry you lost your job, but it sounds like things worked out for the better anyway. Regarding your loan officer knowing about the details of your discharge, it seems like there has been some violation of your rights to privacy, etc. They could say t...
  15. Nursing & website is depressing!!!

    :yeahthat: :yeahthat: :yeahthat: And develop a very long memory of how your management treated you after you volunteered to help them.... get caller ID and don't answer the phone.
