In my opinion, just apart of nursing.

LOL..too funny but when caught those start looking good too.

Poor thing. You won't lose your license for quitting job. If that was the case I would have been working a McDonald's a long time ago.

That would be a lot of incident reports. It should be brought to the attention of those who need to know and suggest a new method of renewals being done.

Cool. I'm glad you found your spot. I'm still seeking mine.

I went for LPN at 22. Now I'm doing homestudy and should be done by the time I'm 33. I'm 31 now.

OMG...Waaaayyy to funny!!

Your kidding.... That's too cute.

Yes..I hate that.

Sputum. When it is time to do trach care...OMG. Also doing a old rotting infected wound dressing is nasty too. I've had a couple of those. Gross :chair: Charlie

Yeah. That does suck. :barf01: Charlene

What is a "CSR"?

In fast food you can call your manager and they can finish serving that person. IMO nursing is one of the most abusive jobs. We can't just "call the manager" We might be able to call our superviser for the family but you still have to work with them. And the patients..lol..psych eval. And if they are just a prick then you just have to deal with it till they are transfered or die or something. That can be along time. I love helping others but sometimes I DO question my line of work. We are hit, spit on, talked down too and cursed at plus other things. It can come from the pt's, their families, administration, cena's and other nurses. Then we have to deal with the taddle tales. Yeah, we are to be superhuman all the time.

In Detroit..I make $24.

7 years of extending 3 loans (just didn't wanna pay ) and now I'm paying them back with all that darn interest.

i agree. i got 2 years med-surg with agency and 1 on staff. good experience and looks nice on a resume'.

Well for me, in LTC it's mostly LPN's so there isn't really an issue. From time to time you get an RN working the floor and they feel the need to deligate to you as if they are a monager. I just tell them "no" and to ask nicely..lol. Here in Michigan in the hospitals LPN's work under an RN and are like glorified CNA's so I won't do it here. In La I did med-surg and was on my own and was treated as part of the team. Neuro & Physical rehab was about the same.

I always in with "no acute distress noted (NADN)-call light within reach-will cont to monitor"

Here in Michigan it starts at $18 & up. I'm makeing $24 now in LTC.

I'm 30 and have been an LPN for 7 years. I am doing my pre recs with excelsior and am also in Michigan. 5 y/o and 10 y/o.

As an LPN in New Orleans on a med-surg unit I worked independently taking orders and all. Of course with some exceptions. In Michigan I learned as an LPN I would be a glorified CNA. I would not work in a hosp here for that reason.
