    Private Grumbling but NO Open Discussion!

    LPNtoRNin2016OH replied to CardiacRNLA's topic in General Nursing

    One of my former managers LOVED the phrase "Everyone needs to get on the bus or those who choose not to will be left behind." I love how she felt it was ok to essentially say shut up or you will be...

    LPNtoRNin2016OH replied to SarahEAW's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    A better solution could be health care discounts based on progress in an employer paid for gym -- have it open 24/7. Gyms do not need a staff member to operate it - look at hotel gym rooms. And offer...

    Pre-nursing reqs

    LPNtoRNin2016OH replied to Baylee87's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am AWFUL at algebra, always have been. Thankfully, I was able to test straight into stats and I got the highest grade in the class. It's SO different than algebra, it has a real world application....

    Am I Crazy to Leave $$$$ Job?

    LPNtoRNin2016OH replied to ahud2015's topic in Pediatric

    I don't think anyone is being pessimistic just realistic. I love nursing, I have been doing it sine I was 19, I would never do another job. But age IS a factor as much as we like to think it's not...

    Am I Crazy to Leave $$$$ Job?

    LPNtoRNin2016OH replied to ahud2015's topic in Pediatric

    Do you tell family members that their loved ones are nasty and combative

    LPNtoRNin2016OH replied to DesiDani's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    We were all wrong about nursing home nurses

    LPNtoRNin2016OH replied to Ruger8mm's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I haven't really ever seen LTC nurse bashing here - quite the opposite, many of us know how back breaking it truly is. Although from the sounds of it, it's not much different than the hospital...
