    HuggyPuglet replied to Ms.RN's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    don't let this one woman take away a career that means something to you. she is a sad individual. another poster wrote on this board that it might be her way of taking control, and it very well may...

  2. Treated badly in ER of hospital I work at!

    HuggyPuglet replied to missmolly's topic in General Nursing

    Ouch! I don't advocate anyone putting down anyone else's job that they do, but this goes beyond the pale if the nurses were terrible to you and falsely accused you of faking it or doing that to...

  3. How many of you are pursuing your RN licensure?

    HuggyPuglet replied to Kelly_the_Great's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Me....looking for

  4. Animosity between the shifts?

    HuggyPuglet replied to bth44's topic in General Nursing

    Is it a matter of "getting along" or not liking each other, or do you think it could be the fact that the off-going shift doesn't much feel like socializing but only wants to get their report done,...

  5. Bad Days

    HuggyPuglet posted a topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    How do you get by the "bad days"? Just got off of a bad one yesterday and I'm dreading returning tomorrow. I'm returning to nursing after a long while. My preceptor is very patient and a wonderful...

  6. New Meaning for LPN and RN (not a debate)

    HuggyPuglet replied to NurCrystal22's topic in LPN to RN

    I'm with you. Getting out of this state as fast as my feetsies can carry

  7. Bad Days

    HuggyPuglet replied to HuggyPuglet's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Thanks so much for the encouraging words. I'm sorry that your week was a bust too. Have you ever turned around and wondered if you made the right decision? I seem to be full of doubts now, but I...

  8. New LPNs going to EC....why not?

    HuggyPuglet replied to luv4nursing's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Thank you all for your replies. You have been very helpful!

  9. Should nurses' license to practice depend on modeling responsible health conduct...

    HuggyPuglet replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in General Nursing

    I'm with you on this one!

  10. Trouble getting job

    HuggyPuglet replied to Kashlee's topic in Online Distance Learning

    OK, you say six states. What states? I'm seriously contemplating this program and will never set foot in CA, but I hear lots of pros and cons on the program in generalizations, but no real...

  11. New LPNs going to EC....why not?

    HuggyPuglet replied to luv4nursing's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Now I am more confused than ever. I guess it would be nice to hear from Excelsior grads themselves, and what their experiences have been. I met with an Excelsior rep recently. Costs are plenty high,...

  12. Im Worried

    HuggyPuglet replied to jamiejo05's topic in General Nursing

    This is precisely the problem with our profession....the "better than" syndrome. If you want to be a nurse, do it any way you can and BE one. And don't be thinking along the lines of someone being...

  13. We need a Nursing TV show

    HuggyPuglet replied to jbeck817's topic in General Nursing

    I can respond to this post in one easy word..... "AGREE!" And my other response is to thank God that more than just a few people see this for what it

  14. Am I being a baby?????

    HuggyPuglet replied to nursejennie76's topic in Emergency

    It appears you are all talking about the same place here. Give me a hint at least as far as city or state. I want to remember NOT to go there.

  15. We need a Nursing TV show

    HuggyPuglet replied to jbeck817's topic in General Nursing

    Yea, I remember something like that. If nurses want to get information on what they do to the public, I'm not so sure that even a drama about nurses will tell the real story (let alone a comedy - oh...

  16. As GVN waiting on license, what can I do?

    HuggyPuglet replied to butterflysvn's topic in General Nursing

    Good heavens! You start on Monday??? What is your orientation schedule?? I hope it is more than just a few

  17. New Meaning for LPN and RN (not a debate)

    HuggyPuglet replied to NurCrystal22's topic in LPN to RN

    I've also heard the "Little Pretend Nurse" vs. the "Real Nurse" thing. I'm glad to see that this is all in fun with most of us, but unfortunately there are those out there who take the humor as dead...

  18. 12 hr shifts- a thing of the past?

    HuggyPuglet replied to SeekUrBliss's topic in General Nursing

    I agree that errors can happen at any time. I think 12 hours shifts are quite reasonable provided the nurse is careful to get enough rest and not burn the candle at both ends. I do remember working...

  19. 12 hr shifts- a thing of the past?

    HuggyPuglet replied to SeekUrBliss's topic in General Nursing

    I LOVE the 12 hour shifts. Beats working a "double" 8 hour. Those are the ones that are draining and tiring. Our hospital has a combination - 2 8s and 2 12s per week. That works out perfectly! I hope...

  20. Med error,I'm suspended,I need advice,please!

    HuggyPuglet replied to Mama2-3's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I agree! I have a question, although maybe I missed it in skimming over the postings on this. Seems there were alot of unusual circumstances in this whole thing. Did the other nurse step up to her...

  21. New nurse blues

    HuggyPuglet replied to Pleaides's topic in First Year After Licensure

    :) I feel your pain. You didn't make a wrong turn, but the preceptors need to remember where they came from. NO ONE pops out of nursing school and knows everything. We ALL learn every day of our...

  22. I need a Vote to help me decide

    HuggyPuglet replied to guest83140's topic in School

    Go for the 2nd one. Even with the price of gas it would be hard to pass up that amount of money. Good luck to

  23. "Accurate" Charting of Profanity

    HuggyPuglet replied to RNCENCCRNNREMTP's topic in Emergency

    Chart them and do it exactly as they say

  24. Did I jump the gun?

    HuggyPuglet replied to estrogen's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I agree! I've worked as an EMT and a nurse and no WAY does an EMT make that sort of judgment. I'm

  25. license was suspended - documentation errors

    HuggyPuglet replied to lisa bear rn's topic in General Nursing

    I've never heard of any BON "calling"...I bet if you look at your state's standards you will find you will be notified IN WRITING. Something is very weird here....
