I work in a smaller rural hospital. We are a 21 bed capacity ER. We barely have any patients on most of the days. Mid level providers were either furloughed or work significantly less hours now their pay got just cut. We are being placed on on call o...

I disagree too. Not sure which state you live in. My experience is in Ohio and Florida. In both states we had to sign a contract as a nurse which included how much weight we have to lift, pull and push. It was minimum 50-100 pounds. I do have back an...

Based on my past and present experience the hospitals tend to have better policies for proper body alignment and lifting etc. (I used to be a CNA then LPN before) I know both sides. I also know that many nurses can be ignorant or even mean. I have al...

As working in nights all the time. Local food businesses and churches keep bringing food for day shift. Sometimes we find some bad looking or already spoiled leftover sitting on the table in our lounge room. Also all the events held in the time we...

I’m an ER nurse and my husband is working from home due to COVID. We don’t have young children in the house anymore because I’m 51 and he will be 59 soon. I do understand your concern about COVID and your child. I am worried about my hubby just as mu...

Interesting and scary. What I’m missing that those cardiac, renal etc. conditions showed with people who where otherwise healthy or with people who already had diseases such as diabetes, cardiac conditions and so on. That would be good to know

Similar situation exists in the hospital I work. It’s a rural hospital, 129 beds in Florida. We received 1 N95 mask which we have to keep in a brown paper bag. We can only get another one if the mask becomes soiled or ruined. One visitor allowed per ...

Hello Everyone, I graduated in Lpn to Rn program on May 12th. I need to create a new resume now. We were told in management class that we should include our clinical or preceptor hours in our resume. (not everyone did preceptor ship)Unfortunately I ...

Thank you 😊That's what I was thinking myself and found odd what our managment class teacher said aboit resume.

Hello Everyone:) Moving to Pensacola Fl next January. I'll be graduating in an Lpn-Rn bridge program here in Ohio in December this year and I will apply for license in Fl. I've been an LPN since 2005. Graduated and worked in Florida until 2009. Just ...

Yeah, it's similar here in Ohio except they have these new grad programs where they hire new grads for pennies, placing them to the worst floors where nobody wants to work then force them to get their BSN for a dollar raise... I'm hoping that my long...

Wow $23? 1:6 on the floor? doesn't sound to promising...I lived and worked in Tampa Bay-Sarasota area before our Ohio adventures. The money and the ratio was much better there... I guess I will have to do a year medsurg then go back to do agency job....

Thank you so much for your input. I'm thinking in Sacred Heart, I would love to work in their new children's hospital. I'm also planning to start working in staffing agencies until I get the job I'd like. 27? wow I expected a bit more.. but oh well i...

I'll be graduating in December in LPN to RN Access here in Ohio. I've been an LPN since 2005.

Anyone from Pensacola?

I would love to work there as an agency nurse ❤️ It is nice to see that this kind of place like yours exist! Kudos to you and your staff 💕💕💕

Hello Everone, I have a serious ethical dilemma. I work for staffing agency. I have a special assignment. I take care of a patient who is actively dying .The patient's nurse is also the patient's POA which I found kinda unusual.This is not a homecare...

I totally agree with you. I don't know what I would do if I found myself in the situation. I got flu vaccine once in my life many years ago. That was the only time when actually was sick with flu! My immune system is so strong borderline autoimmune. ...

Hello Everybody I am an LPN working for a home health care company. I'm taking care of a special needs child. I go to school with him. My problem is the school nurse. She demands me to chart for the school or give a copy from my charting and MAR. I...

I have to medicate the pt. She wants access to the med I carry stated" if you are incapacitated or incompetent"...

Valium suppository with the set dose and waste amount i.e. 10 mg syringe with the set lower dose Controlled substance I sign for and sealed by the pharmacy. She wanted to open the seal too...I do agree with you I feel that we need a meeting but my em...

I am not sure about the billing but that is my boss told me. I said to him that in that case they should provide the info such as what skills I do i.e. tube feeding, medicating.It is something about that the school get paid after those skills too. ...

Well the Code of Conduct says that I can not give out info or show documents unless I have the written permission from my boss or from our HIPPA Officer... I still think it is not right... The school nurse treats me like I work for her and said that ...

I don't feel that way but I feel that they could come up with this conclusion after multiple phone calls and I'm still resisting. The nurse keep harassing me so I keep calling my boss then the answer is oh its ok...I found in our Code of contact that...
