  1. When I first met my husband, we worked the same shift but had opposite weekends off. Now, I am on day shift working Mon-Fri and he is still on evenings, every other weekend off. Now that I think of...

    How do you deal with a pt. who lies to you?

    unfortunately, patients lying is a fact of nursing life. as mentioned earlier, they are not well versed on the specifics of why we need to know this information,but it can be explained. and,...

    "Other" healthcare careers...

    I think about it constantly. While I like nursing, it has disappointed me more than pleased me. I don't see it being true to patient care, due to the politics. And, if I find that niche, I wouldn't...
  5. I met my husband at work, after vowing that I would not date from my job again, but there was something about him that was SO sincere! At the time, I was a psych tech, and he works for our hospital...

    Attitudes towards LPN's

    I agree with you. I have found that no matter what the education is...may it be LPN or above, the new grad is just that...a new grad that needs experience. And, we can learn from

    Attitudes towards LPN's

    I have to agree there. I don't think this rift will ever heal 'globally' between different levels of nurses. There are many that can appreciate the differences, but then, there are some that will...

    Hate/Love Relationship with Nursing

    It is the politics of nursing that is fatiguing and I see it at all levels. To me, it was never about patient care, it is about dollars and cents, which makes us all losers in the

    Attitudes towards LPN's

    I would HOPE that the RN has a higher level of education that goes along with the pay and additional responsibility. No one is saying that the level of education between LPNs and RNs is identical-it...

    Hate/Love Relationship with Nursing

    Are you currently working for a nursing home? I thought I remembered you worked for corrections. But, for sure, seeing the site set on fire can remind you of where not to go. I also think that home...

    Hate/Love Relationship with Nursing

    Many a day, I miss being a CNA and don't envy RNs who, in my opinion may have even more headaches than I. It is always about CYA, hide this, don't say that or you're in trouble, hoping the patient...

    Hate/Love Relationship with Nursing

    You must be psychic because your exact words have been echoing in my ears since last week. I think that the quality of nursing care and support is decreasing at a fast

    I'm being reported to the state over a joke...

    How did you find out that this was sent to the state in the first place? Did someone send you a letter or call? What about the staff that were talking with you? Where their names sent as well?...

    LPNs NOT Medicating??

    I remember initiating this thread some years back. I don't understand why an LPN who successfully graduated from a nursing program that should have included pharmacology and medication administration...

    The haunting scream of a mother

    I am so sorry to hear about these deaths. It is never easy to lose a child. In fact, when I see my sweet son today, I plan to kiss all over his 23 year old

    Attitudes towards LPN's

    I think that we should celebrate the fact that we are ALL NURSES and focus on the teamwork rather than who is the weak link, because there aren't any weak links in title. The CNAs, LPNs and RNs that...

    Can a LPN be a school Nurse

    I would only be comfortable doing it if there were an RN present, because we can't do initial assessments; at least not in New

    Sexual Harassment?

    I don't know this person or what he did, but I would certainly question how cell phones were exchanged to begin with. If the wife wants to inquire about her husband, the proper channels are to call...

    RN in Long-Term Care

    I can also say that more than likely, there is one LPN per floor and maybe one RN in the entire building on evenings and nights. So, it can be very possible that after the few days of orientation,...

    Attitudes towards LPN's

    Thanks, Fiona! Is it easy for the PN to bridge into the RN program in Canada? Is there some sort of advanced

    Attitudes towards LPN's

    Thanks for answering my questions! And, I wish the OP luck with whatever decision she makes. What fascinates me the most about this subject is that I don't often hear that UAPs are a drag. It is...

    CNA or LPN?

    You can probably look into community colleges in your area and ask where the LPN programs are. Also, google or contact your state board of nursing...they usually list the schools as well. You can do...
