    WheresMyPen posted a topic in General Nursing

    If you have a pt in your care, who was likely accidentally harmed by the CNA assisigned, sent to ER and came back stable, how does this pan out for the nurse? If the nurse had taken every safety...

  2. CNA accidents, nurse responsible?

    WheresMyPen replied to WheresMyPen's topic in General Nursing

    Without giving details it's hard to explain what happened. But from what you guys are saying I feel much better. I did do all the right

    WheresMyPen replied to WheresMyPen's topic in General Nursing

    Yes the task was within the CNA scope. I wasn't in the room when the accident happened. But when I was notified of what happened I took proper measures and also

    WheresMyPen replied to nay93rn's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Do you have malpractice insurance? I would call them and seek legal advice. Do not do this alone. I have heard horror stories of people taking on the BON alone. The BON is looking out for the public...

    WheresMyPen replied to WheresMyPen's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    Thank you all for your thoughtful comments. I guess I am feeling like I have come to a big realization about myself that I do have this condition and its a lot to handle. I always thought I had the...

  14. Nurse forced to work as a CNA

    WheresMyPen replied to hillbillienurse's topic in General Nursing

    I WOULD LOVE TO BE PAID A NURSES WAGE TO WORK AS A CNA! actually spending time with the patients, less charting, FULL BREAKS? Yes

    WheresMyPen replied to WheresMyPen's topic in General Nursing

    oh yea CNA's job is very demanding! I use to be a CNA and was damn good at it. I got muscles from that job!! I work noc shift and were poorly staffed with CNAs so my aides and I go room to room and...

  17. "I do the same thing as an RN"

    WheresMyPen replied to WheresMyPen's topic in General Nursing

    i think there are lazy people in all roles. I've worked with good CNAs, good RNs, good LPNS, good doctors.. Also with really lazy ones of all kinds :/ guess it depends on if your heart is in what...

  18. "I do the same thing as an RN"

    WheresMyPen replied to WheresMyPen's topic in General Nursing

    i don't believe that LPNS or ADNS will ever be completely phased out. A lot of LTC places aren't going to do that. But magnet hospitals in my area have already phased out LPNS and ADNS and I don't...

  19. Am I allowed to start a donation to help deceased pt funeral funds??

    WheresMyPen replied to LbyNrs's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    You have a big heart for wanting to do this but It's unethical and could be a violation. Don't do it. Speak with your manager about something else you guys could

  21. "I do the same thing as an RN"

    WheresMyPen replied to WheresMyPen's topic in General Nursing

    It's a fine line here too. I think it's awful they are phasing out LPNs in some areas too. I am proud to be an LPN and when I finish school and pass my boards to be an RN im never gonna forget that I...

  22. "I do the same thing as an RN"

    WheresMyPen replied to WheresMyPen's topic in General Nursing

    My reason for writing this is also because I feel we should be proud to be LPNs and not compare. I feel it comes from insecurity or lack of knowledge and it further separates

  23. "I do the same thing as an RN"

    WheresMyPen replied to WheresMyPen's topic in General Nursing

    in SNF our jobs are very similar, pretty much what you said. And I do get paid significantly less, but enough to live on. But I would never tell an RN I could do everything he/she does. I didn't...

    WheresMyPen replied to WheresMyPen's topic in General Nursing

    Yes I work in SNF and I do a very similar job but it's not the same. And I know that I won't really know how big of a difference until I am an

    WheresMyPen replied to WheresMyPen's topic in General Nursing

    Good post! the way I try to look at it: jobs and scopes are different. Value and importance is equal. I love talking to RNs who were LPNs. Soon that will be
