Hi SaltyBones! I signed in just to thank you for such a detailed breakdown-seriously, thank you! I wanted to ask why you chose assessment B over C or the combo? I'm wondering if there is a difference in them individually. Congrats on ...

LOL. She hasn't...she's way ahead of the game. Her silence and knowing when to stop beating a dead horse is The absolute best response on AN. *unsubscribed*

Well said. I hope you don't get flamed for it. OP, live and learn and then go do great things. We were all allowed to learn, whether it be the easy way or the hard way. You got your advice and now you and only you get to choose. It is your given righ...

BSNbeDONE, your post gave me so much life í ½í¸ƒ

Wow. That sucks. I'm really sorry that this happened. I know you said they did you a favor but being treated like you could do nothing right by your administration is an awful feeling. I do hope you find a place that will appreciate your efforts. Bi...

Whispers amen

I've personally never heard of this method but would absolutely love to hear of others who has and or done it.

When I worked general surgery outpatient, all the surgeons used sterile technique for certain I&Ds. The only time that procedure became a clean one was when the colorectal patients popped in...

Gosh, I really don't want to come across as some sort of flamer or nitpicker but I'm curious...nurses do the dirty work of...nurses? Because that doesn't quite make sense to me. LPNs are nurses. Nurses do dirty work-period... To contribute my 2 cents...

I just recently printed a copy this week for my reference. From what I have read, no, lpns aren't allowed to "develop" a nursing plan...but as Commuter stated I believe we can add on to it after its been initiated by an RN. It would help if the board...

I enjoyed this. Well thought out, mature, and very well written. 1 million likes if I could.

So I know that this topic has been beaten to death and I have been through majority of the archives that I could find on here but here it is again :) I was a medical assistant for years and recently became an LPN. I had difficulty finding a job and f...

So last week I witnessed a suicide. I was getting lunch from a local eatery when I heard a child scream. A man appeared out of no where and lay unresponsive in the street. We found out later that he jumped. There was....no blood. I noticed that his a...

Yep, sure do! And they never knew I existed till now lol Farawyn Been there, done that The Commuter And as of late Dogen No rhyme or reason....cept Been there, done that....something about her posts makes me merry inside like Xmas morning.

This! This speaks volumes and sums up what I couldn't explain.

I actually get where you're coming from. If what you said was on, I don't know--say The View--there would be countless posts and petitions against said company lol. Nursing is so cliquish. Anyway, let it go if you can. Some things are just not worth ...

I want to thank you all for reaching out with kind words and advice. I really appreciate it. This is one of those times that I love AN. I made an appointment with a counselor at my EAP. It's tomorrow at noon. I steered clear of the eatery and its pa...

Yes I think I need to speak to a professional. My co workers kept trying to get me to tell them what happened but not in a way that was helpful for me. They just needed first hand details. I would not discuss it with them. Thankfully my supervisor me...

Thank you for your kind reply and reminding me that I am human. New grads have the habit of thinking they'll be super nurse and I am no exception. This experience startled and humbled me. Death...swift and so final...It's nothing like TV. His body wa...

I hadn't even thought of EAP. Thank you. I think I will call them tomorrow.

Sorry to hear you have been sick like this so often. I'd say the only things you can do is cover yourself by getting documentation from your pcp maybe and presenting it to your job when you are ill or (and I hate to encourage it) go to work sick and ...

There will always be a misconception about marijuana with teenagers. Most experience it culturally as a coming of age type of drug. And let's not forget the Rastafarians and their use of it as a natural herb from the Earth. Weed has continually been ...

This, admittedly, would have been difficult for me. You are here by deemed Saint for that alone in my book. I have a particular sour taste for those lot. It's one of my many worst nightmares. I know that I would not be able to separate emotions and p...
