    How do you feel about this?

    Spritenurse1210 replied to 1TachyRN's topic in General Nursing

    I promise you, if I worked at that hospital, and when I addressed that same concern with the guy who thought up this idea and he said "Let them eat cake," I'd walk.

    Letters from a LTC Nurse

    Spritenurse1210 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I was feeling a little inspired after my shift today. I feel as though LTC nurses are generally under appreciated as a whole by the public, as well as other medical professionals. This is from the...

    Your Favorite one liner used with patients

    Spritenurse1210 replied to scaredofshots's topic in Nursing Humor

    I've had a resident tell me that once. I looked at her and said "I'm here aren't I? I thought the elevator dropped me off in the seventh circle. Shoot. I'll just go give Satan a piece of my mind!"...

    Spritenurse1210 replied to Nursing Assistant's topic in Nursing Humor

    "I've got to pee like a redneck in a beer drinking contest!" you think to yourself as you're waiting for your patient to get off the toilet "shove over!" the sound of running water is murder...

    The Art of Letting Go

    Spritenurse1210 replied to Tait's topic in General Nursing

    Unfortunately, our society doesn't give dying with dignity the emphasis needed. I often think we're kinder to our animals than humans. Who would want to be kept alive solely because of the tube in...

    Hospitals Hiring only Nurses with BSN Degree

    Spritenurse1210 replied to nlhnurse1982's topic in General Nursing

    I've always been an advocate for education. Do I agree with mandating that all nurses be required to have a BSN in order to work in a hospital? absolutely not. Not everyone wants to spend that long...

    He Wouldn't Let Me Go

    Spritenurse1210 replied to AngelfireRN's topic in General Nursing

    Wow! Angel, I'm shocked at his behavior, and I wasn't even there!! I hope admin does something, because this guy sounds awefully volitile. An intervention is certainly needed at this point.

    Spritenurse1210 replied to confused0101's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    If you get accepted, then go for RN, however, most programs will accept you more readily if you have an LVN/LPN. As for the favoritism, and poor attitudes, It's something you're going to have to...

    LPN's- what else is there besides LTC??

    Spritenurse1210 replied to Sarahtonin's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    It really depends on what part of the country you live in. I've found in my research that Texas and Louisiana seem to use LPNs in just about all fields. I'd recomend you continue on and get ADN...
