  1. They make nursing school much harder than it needs to be

    NursesRmofun replied to Anoetos's topic in General Students

    As I recall, it was a little hellish in nursing school-- Okay, very hellish, at times....both for my LPN and then, even more so with the RN schooling. I think, as one of my instructors said...

  2. How to handle lazy LPN's on the team

    NursesRmofun replied to Nurse ABC's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Just to answer this question and this question only,...Honestly, I would have to say you have to have a respect and rapport with your co-workers. Sometimes this this makes for a better work...

  3. Calling in sick, staffing issues

    NursesRmofun replied to staffing24's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Working in Nursing seems to be, IMO, very conducive for call ins. There is high stress everyday in most nursing jobs. I think some nurses think it is better to call in than quit. And I guess they are...

  4. Should a nurse ask to be assigned to specific patients?

    NursesRmofun replied to DoraSanchez's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I think you can certainly 'ask' the charge nurse. I think, if you have legitimate reasons such as continuity...your request will be considered with more weight than no reason or because the patient is...

  5. In support of Associate Degree Nurses

    NursesRmofun replied to Cheryl Louise's topic in International Nursing

    While I am not extremely worried about this personally because I have already been out of work for a year and a half (long story), I do believe AAS Nurses should have a place in the workforce....ALL...

  6. Nurses Eating Their Young

    NursesRmofun replied to Doc Lori, R.N.'s topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Just as you are overwhelmed with the information and some criticism (whether justified or not), try to understand that your preceptor is probably overwhelmed also. In addition, your preceptor is...

  7. Input Ft. Pierce area nursing work

    NursesRmofun posted a topic in Florida Nursing

    Can I get some feedback on the Ft. Pierce and Port Saint Lucie nursing culture and pay scales? Pretty please?

  8. More questions about FL nursing and living

    NursesRmofun replied to NursesRmofun's topic in Florida Nursing

    Thank you Sooooooo much MB37! That was very helpful! Good luck on your house search in St. Pete!

  9. More questions about FL nursing and living

    NursesRmofun posted a topic in Florida Nursing

    I asked one question about the Port Saint Lucie area and got a little feedback from one nice woman. How about FL in general? What are some of the best hospitals for staff? Best nursing to patient...

  10. Input Ft. Pierce area nursing work

    NursesRmofun replied to NursesRmofun's topic in Florida Nursing

    Bumping this up to see if I can get more input from anyone else in the Port Saint Lucie area and find some people who live and work around

  11. LPN Petition to Take RN Boards

    NursesRmofun replied to withasmilelpn's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I have known some smart LPNs and BSNs, some dumb LPNs and BSNs, and also some smart ASNs and dumb ASNs...How about that?

  12. LPN Petition to Take RN Boards

    NursesRmofun replied to withasmilelpn's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Sometimes a healthy discussion will sound like arguing. People have to remember that because people disagree, it does not have to involve being angry. Remain objective and try not to get...

  13. LPN Petition to Take RN Boards

    NursesRmofun replied to withasmilelpn's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Not to argue...but I respectfully disagree that there is no difference between an LPN and a RN program. That would be silly....and it is not true. Actually, I have never even heard that rumored...

  14. LPN Petition to Take RN Boards

    NursesRmofun replied to withasmilelpn's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Some people don't believe in short cuts, I guess. Perhaps they believe everyone should do all the work. I think there should be a good LPN to RN program lasting 1 year (full time) - and maybe 2 years...

  15. LPN Petition to Take RN Boards

    NursesRmofun replied to withasmilelpn's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I am not sure that it is that RNs do not want LPNs to get ahead. However, that said,- I think a lot of RNs feel that there are 'dues to be paid' (on the more selfish and human side) and education to...

  16. LPN Petition to Take RN Boards

    NursesRmofun replied to withasmilelpn's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Sorry, but I would not sign the petition for LPNs to be grandfathered in as RNs or for LPNs to take RN boards without further education. I also believe the further education is a good and necessary...

  17. Another Pay Question!

    NursesRmofun posted a topic in Tennessee Nursing

    If you can answer, anybody know the pay rate range for TN....specifically Nashville, Memphis, Knoxville, or even (smaller town) Greeneville??? I would appreciate the

  18. Funniest Complaint on Press Ganey Scores

    NursesRmofun replied to nursebrandie28's topic in General Nursing

    [EVIL]LOL! People kill me!

  19. Painful IV starts and your hospital policy

    NursesRmofun replied to daisey_may's topic in General Nursing

    No policy. If the patient has pain and/or is a difficult stick, they can ask for, or we can suggest, EMLA and there is an order taken for

  20. Is your facility warning staff for overtime, for missing lunch breaks or other?

    NursesRmofun replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    In addition to warning about not getting paid for no lunch, they also do not PAY OT unless it is preapproved and/or you file an OT slip. I never did for the half hour here and there. And I am sure I...

  21. nurses as patients

    NursesRmofun replied to danggirl's topic in General Nursing

    It's not fun. I have problems with nausea. But the IV meds help. Patients don't always need all the IV fluids. I was really puffy. I turned down my own IV

  22. theft of my scope

    NursesRmofun replied to dvfd365's topic in General Nursing

    In all, probably 5-6. At most, maybe 7- in 17 years. Not fun. But the Littman was a bit more painful. I had it less than a year, as I recall. I buy mostly cheaper ones

  23. Would you want your children to go into nursing?

    NursesRmofun replied to 2rntish's topic in General Nursing

    Not really what I would recommend first. But it's okay...a noble

  24. What stethoscope do you have?

    NursesRmofun replied to zooz's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Love it!

  25. What stethoscope do you have?

    NursesRmofun replied to zooz's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I had a Littman many moons ago but someone took it. Now I buy a practical one that it doesn't hurt *as much* to lose. I had several cheap ones go missing too....17 years is a long time. My current is...
