  9. Futile Care Theory

    Actually, I think your question has been answered. Perhaps you should re-read the posts. We all understand that it's about TIME and MONEY. However, the question is... IS THIS FAIR PRACTICE?...
  10. New Meaning for LPN and RN (not a debate)

    OH NO! you mean you AREN'T? How did that happen?
  11. Has anyone used cold to assess for Homan's?

    I wonder if the ice application just causes the patient to dorsiflex their foot anyway... thus causing the sharp pain... Hmmm... why not just do it the regular way if that's the case?
  12. New Meaning for LPN and RN (not a debate)

    Yeah I know what ya mean. Well here GENERALLY RNs make more than LPNs but LPNs start out at 16-17 in LTC and 11-12 in Hospitals for new grads. RNs in hospitals start at probably start at 15 so... I...
  13. First week paranoia.

    I always wonder if I'm LEARNING or MEMORIZING information.

  17. If you could no longer be a nurse?...

    WOW. I'm 22 and this thread makes me think about retirement already. I guess with how much time school and now work takes out of my life... I kind of forgot about the hobbies that I use to love to...
  18. New Meaning for LPN and RN (not a debate)

    Hello, this thread isn't meant to poke fun at anyone or to even be a debate. I'm an LPN currently and although some may think I'm lesser paid or "pretend" it doesn't bother me. We all know that it's...

  20. Smoking among Nurses is hypocritical.

    WHAT HAPPENED TO THE ORIGINAL POSTER AND WHY HAVEN'T THEY ADDED ANYTHING TO THIS?
  21. New Meaning for LPN and RN (not a debate)

  22. NCLEX over and done with! YaY!
