    RANT, sick of certain nurses

    LPNtoRNin2016OH replied to mindofmidwifery's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    I was an STNA for two years before getting my LPN so I can hear what your saying. I have seen plenty of people vent on here about co-workers so I am not sure why everyone is getting defensive about...

    Nursing Student Peers Who Want to Mooch

    LPNtoRNin2016OH replied to katiejames7878's topic in General Students

    Honestly, I just say no. I am not cruel about but I generally say " You know I spend hours on these notes and studying, time away from my husband and three small kids, so I don't often give up my hard...

    Who is so ready for fall semester to be over?!?

    LPNtoRNin2016OH replied to LPNtoRNin2016OH's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I feel burned out before I even start my clinical, is this a bad sign lol? I have killed myself the last 2.5 years getting a 4.0 so I could be sure I will get in when I apply and now I am running on...

    People really need to stop coming into nursing

    LPNtoRNin2016OH replied to DUDERNGUY's topic in General Nursing

    Wow, even after a combined 9 years of being an STNA and LPN, this thread has been a very enlightening and interesting read and I am not even all the way through yet. I have always thought that a way...

    Today's cringeworthy event..

    LPNtoRNin2016OH replied to xoemmylouox's topic in General Nursing

    That's so scary. People were terrible about that in the occ health I used to work in. It would get to the point you were scared to put a used needle in for fear of poking yourself so I started looking...

    Customer satisfaction callbacks

    LPNtoRNin2016OH replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    You have got to be kidding me. I get doing this but it should be the role of the office staff. I only work in LTC and there is no way in hell I would have time even on one shift to call our discharged...

    Introverts in Healthcare Field

    LPNtoRNin2016OH replied to selenaaa's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    Unfortunately, it does seem off putting to co-workers. I am pretty mid level extrovert. Not loud but I like to joke and converse. I never involve my persona life in work, ever ever ever. Can't say...

    Is chemistry important to become a nurse?

    LPNtoRNin2016OH replied to strawberryluv's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Oh and I will say that I did much better in chem AFTER taking A+P 1. A+P is a practical, real life application that makes sense in my mind. Chemistry was a no mans land of formula, numbers, and oddly...

    Is chemistry important to become a nurse?

    LPNtoRNin2016OH replied to strawberryluv's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I can see why Chemistry is relevant but the thing that really gets my goat about my program is that if you had taken it with 6 years of high school chemistry, you do not have to do college chemistry....

    Reflection Assignments

    LPNtoRNin2016OH replied to Xlorgguss's topic in General Students

    omg that would annoy the crap out of me. At least if you want to have a heavy course work class, let's do something to further our nursing knowledge. I want to reflect on why some professors think...

    Staying Positive in Nursing

    LPNtoRNin2016OH replied to SarahEAW's topic in General Nursing

    I recently return to LTC PRN after nearly 5 years away (working in clinics) and I got very lucky to find a small LTC where the staff is small and covers each others back instead of stabbing them. The...

    LPNtoRNin2016OH replied to floatingribs's topic in General Students

    Disrespectful ad against nurses on Craigslist

    Question about cna

    LPNtoRNin2016OH replied to njlpn421's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Hmm are you sure your not putting off an air of "I'm the nurse and your just an aide?" accidently? I view the aides as my co-workers, we are a team that assists each other, they have their own boss. I...

    LPNtoRNin2016OH replied to acim's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    LPNtoRNin2016OH replied to td2620's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Wow, glad you checked! I know states vary but we are NOT to remove PICC lines anywhere in the US that I know of. My state just passed a law this year that LPNs were even allowed to touch PICC lines....
