I understand peoples feelings for her because of our line of work, however we take an oath of a very serious career. Homicide may be extreme versus Manslaughter because the definition of homicide shows more intent versus manslaughter being more of a ...

A new topic for you all to consider; is it legal in your facility for nurses to have medical marijuana cards and of course that use them. Anyone have experience with a nurse testing positive and not fired?

I am thanked every day by my Veteran patients here at the Veterans hospital. I am so happy to work with and for them that I almost feel I should pay the hospital to allow me to work here. :)

Regarding your questions, I am a Male Nurse ("Murse") and have been for 5 years now. I am a retired Marine of 21 years and after military retirement I became a deputy Sheriff. I didn't enjoy being in law enforcement as I was in what was at the time t...

I was a Deputy Sheriff before I became a nurse and depending on your state they can send a ticket in the mail. It happens all the time, just like the van that takes your picture in an intersection and they send you a ticket. There is nothing legally ...

I was in the Marine Corps for 21 years and retired at 39. Then I became a sheriffs deputy in Lake Tahoe then in my home state of Oregon. Didn't like the job so I quit. Decided to put myself through nursing school to help my fellow veterans. Now I wor...

I wouldnt quit. Its no big deal. I heard our facility is going back to issued scrubs that cannot be taken home due to studies of bacteria brought from homes of nursing staff. (ie; dirty house, pets, kids sick, etc.).

Do nursing students have a life?? Do you procrastinate? Are you lazy? Do you have good study habits? It all depends on how you are with your time management. When you get hungry enough you'll find time to eat. When you get tired enough you wont be ab...

Im an LPN currently going to school to get my ADN. I work with tons of RN's AND BSN's in a hospital and everyone tells me through their experience that the only difference between the two is the extra classes of underwater basketweaving that are requ...

My experience was that RN school was too long and too expensive for me. Its also extremely competitive. So I went the LPN route. I graduated in 2011 and am currently in an "LPN 2 RN" program. This program is much more conformed to what I needed becau...

I had no issues at all using my Post 9/11. Maybe I was just lucky, or maybe your schools Veterans assistance person is very out of touch with the system. Thank you for your 3 years service.

Im currently an LPN getting my ADN. The reason I didnt go for my BSN is time. Im 50 and own a home as a military retiree so can't afford to not work while Im taking 15 credits a term. Im doing the ADN currently because my work will pay me back for my...

My opinion is that it comes down to the school itself. I believe we all take the same NCLEX so the school itself IMHO doesnt really matter. Yes the BSN has many more credits needed and lots of NON-nursing courses that need to be done to complete the ...

OMG I so needed this today!!!!!!! Thanks for the truth/laugh.

I have received nothing but letters of recommendation and praise as a nurse which I also did my studies and passed the NCLEX on these meds a few years ago. If my abilities are impaired, then it was for the better.

LOL, if no one disputes them as nurses then why be classified as something different. The VA is slowly weeding out LPN positions for only RN's. Its sad because I know of a lot of LPN's who are in many ways better "Nurses" than some of the BSN's Ive w...

LOL, typical, its all Bush's fault. And your comment " it is hard to really have any concern at all for the outrage" is maybe true for you and anyone too ignorant to open your eyes, however my insurance did go up a high dollar amount, and my parents ...

IM retired military and now a nurse. The process to get in is a little tedius but if you do it correctly and have all your info together its easier than many think. I love my job here and the benefits arent bad at all in comparison to other hospitals...

They do have medicare however as we know it doesnt cover nearly enough on the retirement income they are on. The plan they had then lost was much more helping in prescriptions which is what they need in their late 70's. I am attempting to get them on...

There seems to be a lot of controversy regarding where to do a BP and/or blood draws on a post bilat mastectomy patient. Im curious of what everyone else was taught. After looking into it, the practice of taking the BP on the thigh after a bilat mast...

This I will agree with you on. The government has been messed up for a very very long time. I have no problem with healthcare for all. I do strongly have a belief that this current mess of a plan should have been thought out much more. Why could the ...

No my parents were not in the military. I was in the military and am now a nurse. My father worked at a truck building plant and retired after 36 years and has still been covered until last year when his plan suddenly is no longer offered. If Obamaca...

How ironic because liberals seem to think everything is Bush's fault. Its sunny today. Thats Bush's fault too.

You are correct, it is easy for me to blame the people who squeeze our system dry of the money that you and I have to put itno to pay for their free handouts. Its easy where I live to see these people. I live in Portland Oregon the city of the free l...
