Please delete my account. I thought this was a place to vent I see other wise.

Thats a big leap their a big difference from what a LPN can and what we as nurse with higher degrees can do. Just my opinion; I dont think its a good idea,but hey.

Now a comment I under much better. These were random ideas and questions I ask my employees upon hire.

Any smart professional would not disclose their identity because you never know who reads all nurse.com. Because I've worked to hard; I'm not going to put myself as risk by sharing my identity with strangers. Now if the threads are boring than I'm pretty sure adminstration will delete them, so either answer the question and keep on the topic or ignore the topics that I post.

You must enjoy reading my post because you keep commenting with the same comment. once again I have none not in school trying to open up topics to network and get to know other nurses. As a nurse you shouldn't make dumb assumptions. Now if you don't like my topics don't read and don't respond. Obviously some people do because they have respond

I could not enforce grown adults(putting it lightly) to act there age. The school I worked for was all about money so expelling a student was hard. The funny thing was the students were preparing to become nurses. How can you become a nurse when you can't act your age.

Ha ha ha I'm not just general questions

Do you think that having a bridge from LPN to BSN a good idea? please explain

We just introduced a new policy. Anyone who smokes can not apply for employment. Do you feel that the new smoking ban takes away from the nurse personal life?

I have worked with a few old school nurses who weren't their anymore and they were making BIG nursing mistakes, but they still have the licenses. Now as hard as it to get one do you feel that they should be forced into retirement and stripped of their licenses?

Do you think that people with extreme mentally delays such as down syndrome should be given a chance to become a nurse? Why or why not?

Ok, I may start a little trouble here, but hey.... Do you think woman should be in just as much as trouble as men for harassment? I've gone through this a few times and it seems like a joke, but if it was the other way around

I know a few students who were bulled when I was a administrator for a school that I worked for. Needless to say the school was a little ghetto (putting it lightly). As an adult you try to handle your own problems does anyone want to share any experiences that they have had on this subject?

How do you feel about doing patient education with the mentally ill? Do you feel as though that all mental ill patients should have a guardian?

Recently had to fire a employee because they violated the HIPAA practice. Do you feel as though its that serious to abide by that law?

I currently have a patient in my care that's wealth and of course her family is fighting over her money. How does it make you feel when you experiences these encounters?

So, I know a few new nurse out there & I think that it would be to read some stories on mistakes that you have made when you first became a nurse.

How do you go about starting a nursing union? How would you feel about having one that's united?

I started off as a LPN needless to say I still miss it because I mainly do paper work now.

Yes, they do use stethoscopes. Example to take a manual blood pressure.

As I write this the words seem silly, but the feeling is heavy and its weighing me down badly. I am depressed because of being labeled; "crazy". I put on a big smile & if you saw me you wouldn't even have a clue that I was like this. I don't have any support. I am at my wits end because I think its going to affect my nursing career & I don't want to lose my license. I'm different person when i am on the nurse floor but what happens if one day that dark feeling of sadness clouds over me & I'm with a patient? I think I need to seek help before going to work, but i am scared of the outcome?

This is my problem how can you be a nurse with a mental illness? (serious question) At some point aren't you scared that something may happen that will arise and you aren't able to control it?
