  1. LTC is getting the best of me!

    NursesRmofun replied to NursesRmofun's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    You made me chuckle there about the chicken. I don't mind hard work but this stuff is too much. I might not be giving myself enough time, but if I did give myself the time to get it running with me...

  2. Some Things, You Never Get Used To

    NursesRmofun replied to VivaLasViejas's topic in General Nursing

    I know what you mean. If we see someone has potential to get better, we want them to get better and do well. We feel for them. I have heard it said many, many times...when we stop feeling, that is...

  3. LTC is getting the best of me!

    NursesRmofun replied to NursesRmofun's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Sheesh! Your old job sounds much worse than mine is...and I am very ready to leave mine! LOL. No computer entry here. The DON is also new at my facility and arrrived there shortly before I did. This...

  4. LTC is getting the best of me!

    NursesRmofun replied to NursesRmofun's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I can imagine she must be a dynamo! :) My DON and Administrator are looking very scared right now because they sense I am teetering. Not much I can do. I doubt I could ever stay in this kind of...

  5. All NY State ADN's and Students

    NursesRmofun replied to Energizer Bunny's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    OOPS. I didn't read carefully enough. I rushed through. Good! I like to have options.

  6. All NY State ADN's and Students

    NursesRmofun replied to Energizer Bunny's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Thanks for the info/article, Kim. I guess there won't be any grandfathering for us Assoc. RNs. Ack! LOL

  7. LTC is getting the best of me!

    NursesRmofun replied to NursesRmofun's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    oh, yeah! i had about 4 major things going on at once the other day! never got any paperwork done that day, which is overdue. it is maddening! thanks for the luck!

  8. Do LPNs Get the Respect They Deserve?

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

    I hope you can come back here and say it was all easy! You deserve that....It sounds like you have had your share of *hard times.* Yes, you are lucky to be someone who retains easily. :) Happy Laundry...

  9. Nurses who don't take the time to care: have you seen examples?

    NursesRmofun replied to np2b's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    So, so true!

  10. Do LPNs Get the Respect They Deserve?

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

    Yes. I think we can agree on some things! There are good and bad in every profession. And you do need to get certain education to qualify for the boards....which then test you for having at least a...

  11. Do LPNs Get the Respect They Deserve?

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

    Sorry, but I don't think you are qualified to judge the RN program since you did not actually go through that program, or at least not all of it. It just doesn't make sense that the LPN program would...

  12. Do LPNs Get the Respect They Deserve?

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

    Are you saying that LPNs in your school, community, or area of your state get more education that RNs? That's very interesting. Why not just call yourself an RN and call it a day. I know. I...

  13. Rude Cna To Nurses

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

    I do too! I did my stint as a CNA long ago. I don't need to prove anything now. I earned my LPN license and then I earned my RN license. I know what each job is like very well, thank you very much....

  14. Implementing a Clinical Ladder

    NursesRmofun replied to Vanfnp's topic in General Nursing

    Sorry. I never liked them myself. I just wanted to voice that. I feel like nurses are jumping through too many hoops already. Just my opinion. I actually stayed away from places with clinical ladders....

  15. Time Management Tips

    NursesRmofun replied to MMouse's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    I am a Unit Manager in LTC for the first time. It's much less stress for me. Although, once again, I am salaried and putting in more than 40 hrs. Maybe 45-50. But at least I don't take it home with me...

  16. Confession is Good for the Soul

    NursesRmofun replied to hbscott's topic in General Nursing

    Sorry you feel that way. And, I think it is true you may be holding nursing responsible for what may be human nature or the negative side of it. Seems like you loved nursing but not the people you...

  17. Confession is Good for the Soul

    NursesRmofun replied to hbscott's topic in General Nursing

    Very interesting. I am not sure what you endured as a male in nursing and in what type(s) of nursing. Taking that into considersation, I would say that I think your experience may be a rare one. I...

  18. Time Management Tips

    NursesRmofun replied to MMouse's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    Ex-Hospice Homecare Nurse here. I found that I spent way too much time on my job with Hospice. I actually started work when I got up in the a.m. and worked up until I went to bed at night. I often...

  19. orientation time in LTC/Subacute care

    NursesRmofun replied to renerian's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    In the past, I have seen the DON or ADON gauge it on previous experience and then go from there. With previous experience and applying for the same position, I have seen as little as a few days...

  20. What is the best field for just LPN

    NursesRmofun replied to andreaJ's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with the rest. LPNS are usually not part of staffing of a nursery, L&D, or NICU..but pediatrics is a possiblity, and possibly a mother/baby

  21. Federalize Nursing Licenses! Who's with me?

    NursesRmofun replied to mobileLPN's topic in General Nursing

    I agree!

  22. Nurses who smoke

    NursesRmofun replied to Fivestar22's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Finally read this thread. Boy-o-boy! Opinions everywhere! I am an ex-smoker who really misses smoking sometimes, not because it is or ever was *good for me*, but because it is a very addictive vice...

  23. Male nurse treatment

    NursesRmofun replied to flimbar's topic in General Nursing

    In my experience, men who are nurses are treated similarly to women who are nurses (with the same predjuices applied) by their peers. Patients sometimes think men who are nurses are doctors and give...

  24. Do LPNs Get the Respect They Deserve?

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

    It's a tough thing....with probably no end in sight. It happens. Some RNs feel that LPNs should think it is a given that they know more or make better decisions,...but in some circumstances, it is not...

  25. New grad, LTC job offer...advice?

    NursesRmofun replied to tiona's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    the person who had the job before me did this as her last chore before she left the facility on leave. she is coming back part-time in another postion. she has to teach me how to do it. never thought...
