TNRNMAN

Way to go Chris, you have stated the facts and you did it tactfully, you are dead on and I think that this is a huge problem in these United States we start early saying there young and its their first mistake,and before you know it they are in priso...

That is the worst been through nursing school twice, LPN then RN and I hated having a lecture and someone always had a story about their aunts sisters cousins friends daughters boyfriend, and I would get so sick of it and roll my eyes and scream on t...

I believe in TN that it is a NO NO for LPNs to work with Cental Lines, not that some of them aren't competent to do it, because most that I know are well versed in Cental Lines, but times they are a changin.

I think that this is a very over compensated response to the letter writing and fury that came from the Cynthia Nixon episode if you remember she made the most ignorant comment that implied we were not educated and were just MD helpers, HOW STUPID I ...

I agree they are assinine management solutions, tongue in cheek or not they were used as excuse and we could go in alot of direction with this whole thread and I was making a point on one aspect my view on the flipant comments that are viewed as excu...

\I think you need to read some of the earlier post and I am not misunderstanding them and you are not misunderstanding me either I meant what I said and it is foolish to think that we ALL wash our hands it is proven over and over again year after yea...

Well here I go, keep in mind I need sleep if this sounds weird, I have already messed up one reply, I started at a small community hospital and grew from an LPN to RN in that time and learned alot and sometimes thought I had learned all there was to...

If you are in the school mode and you have both options available to you go for the RN, if you need a quick change in pay and want work experience then you could go for the LPN and the Later advance if thats what you want, I think we have to be caref...

IF he was in on it then thats cool but if it was done as it was expressed as and I quote revenge then that is not appropriate, so it is early and I need sleep if that makes me wound a bit tight then excuse me and forgive me, and I do have chest hair...

Oh my God do I ever hate that too, I thought I was awful but now I know I am not the only one, and I also hate the one that comes in shaking and the daughter says hes going to pass out on you from the dehydration , how many times has he vomited well ...

I am not sure exactly what the situation is, are you writing above where a doctor has signed or under it as a new order, if you are being asked to write above a doctors signature then you need to clarify with the BON and that is okay to do they will ...

You will do fine, that is obvious

I agree totally with needing to have more staff and more time for breaks I am a staff nurse in a very busy ICU, but it comes down to DO NO HARM and yes there is harm done lots of time with understaffing, I know all about the statistics DUH, but that ...

I want to welcome you to TN and you are now in GODS country. I think you should look into Rutherford Co for housing esp. if you want land Symrna and Murfreesboro are great little communities and they have great schools well Murfreesboro does, and the...

this is not entirely true, i have held management positions over bsn and msn due to experience and i have a director now that was and adn for a long time as a manager of a large unit in a huge hospital, i have to say that window is closing, i must ag...

ok not sure know nothing about the topic and just a trying to gain knowledge question, WHY WOULD YOU WANT TOO ?? just asking because I don't know.

That was an awesome post and well said there is no arguing with this it is the bottom line and I love it and I have been an LPN and was darn good at it too but there were things that I learned in RN school that made me go WOW I should have known that...

IF you are young and just getting out of college, you could be making alot of money if thats what your after I dont see you make alot with nutrition unless you write a book, Nursing is so wide open, if you are single get one year expericnce in a CCU ...

I have to admit as well that I have not read all the responces of this thread, so if someone has already said this I am sorry and here goes, I am a former Infection Control Nurse and I did a Handwashing survey during my time, I found that Most nurses...

NO NO NO NO NO, that is wrong and should be dealt with. I would be insane and I would have a hard time being professional about this. It is nothing more than neglect. I don't care what time it is. GET UP AND DO YOUR **** JOB!!!!!!!!!!:angryfire :angr...

WOW, How many applications did you fill out the day after this, you need to get out of this situation, take it from someone who knows you are setting your self up for trouble this type of healthcare workers, ( notice I did not say professionals ) are...

It is not a hard test it is not intended to be hard it is intended to know if you can react the appropiate and safe way you should as a nurse. You did fine I am sure. :)

The one that comes to mind right now is not running contols on POC monitors when they plainly say QC due now, that drives me into a rage. If I need a stat Blood Sugar and the one stat BC the machine allows has been used by a lazy, nurse that would no...

I have a real problem here, Burnout is not the word, unprofessional, dangerous, inappropriate, and unworthy. This is an administration problem the administration at this facility needs to put this woman on the street. :angryfire :angryfire :angryfire...
