  1. NO MORE SUZY K !!!!!!!

    Q. replied to theboss's topic in General Nursing

    Sunshine - Thank you, really, for re-reading and understanding. I have been losing sleep over this and starting to think that I was losing my own marbles. There is one thing that I cannot handle (must...

  2. Why LPN??

    Q. replied to Q.'s topic in General Nursing

    Ouch, Davis. And I'm the one who puts nurses down? Talk about eating our young..... Secondly, that post was directed at two INDIVIDUALS who flew off the handle for my mere MENTIONING LPNs. The post,...

  3. Stress Reduction/Time Saving Idea

    Q. replied to [email protected]'s topic in General Nursing

    I'm sure a few nurses would use the service -truthfully I think they would rather see higher wages than the added benefit of on-line shopping. What it does is tie you to your job even more. I would...

  4. Why LPN??

    Q. replied to Q.'s topic in General Nursing

    Hi Nona, that is why I asked my question in the first place. But thank you for your

  5. Stress Reduction/Time Saving Idea

    Q. replied to [email protected]'s topic in General Nursing

    I'm not offended. I guess I'm not that big of fan of on-line shopping. Nurses/healthcare workers are busy yes, but sitting at home doing everything on line doesn't appeal to me. Getting out of the...

  6. If you had to do it over again.....

    Q. replied to RitaS's topic in General Nursing

    Hi Rita- I'm not sure if I would. I like the varied opportunities nursing offers - but I've had fantasies about being a fund raising specialist instead. Sometimes this profession just makes me want...

  7. Why LPN??

    Q. replied to Q.'s topic in General Nursing

    NurseMark- If you read Iris's post, she was responding directly to me. She stated "why should any of US (us, as if we are somehow different) enlighten you?' Secondly, no I do not work in rural...

  8. NO MORE SUZY K !!!!!!!

    Q. replied to theboss's topic in General Nursing

    C'mom people! Are you all insane??? I don't even think you know what you are angry at. I did NOT mean any negativity by asking a simple question. For god's sake, what would make me think that asking...

  9. The Big Money Question

    Q. replied to buck227's topic in General Nursing

    I think $40,000 would be fair to start right out of college. As a new nurse, you have alot of responsibility, yes, but have alot to learn yet. I think starting at 40 would make us comparable to many...

  10. Did you have a Preemie or Pre Term Labor while working?

    Q. replied to dawngloves's topic in General Nursing

    Kday- Here I thought it was just me!! I was curious, do you get a critical care differential? I really wish we would. Sometimes it just doesn't make sense. I just had a Mag patient today who was...

  11. NO MORE SUZY K !!!!!!!

    Q. replied to theboss's topic in General Nursing

    Well realnurse, thanks for your answer of why you became an LPN. Whew. Took ALL that for you to answer. What I was hoping to elicit was exactly what you just told to Stargazer. Please do me a favor...

  12. NO MORE SUZY K !!!!!!!

    Q. replied to theboss's topic in General Nursing

    Sunshine pointed out that the anger started with CLO's response to my question, not with me, but apparently some people are confused and thus confused everyone else. Also, the anger after CLO's post...

  13. Permanent 12 Hour Nights??... and LPN vs. RN

    Q. replied to hannabear1's topic in General Nursing

    JMP- I really don't think there is much debate about who is a better nurse...we all agree that more education is better. I think the argument stems from not knowing each other's roles: LPNs feel put...

  14. Why LPN??

    Q. replied to Q.'s topic in General Nursing

    Lynn- You weren't the only one confused with "the boss". I am not familiar with LPNs that appear so highly functional as her. The few LPNs that I have worked with could only do post-partum, not labor...

  15. Oh, my aching feet!

    Q. replied to Rileycat's topic in General Nursing

    RileyCat- The best shoe I ever got was actually a Xmas present...Birkenstocks. They are quite expensive (about $100) but they are the most comfortable shoe and very durable. A friend of mine has had...

  16. If an MD shoved you...

    Q. replied to TracyRN's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with the incident reports, etc. My fantasy? Shove him

  17. Why LPN??

    Q. replied to Q.'s topic in General Nursing

    To "the boss:, You mentioned very respectfully that you do the same things as the RN, only they get paid more. I would like to point out two things: 1. This kind of statement is what prompts me to...

  18. What would you do?

    Q. replied to buck227's topic in General Nursing

    Wow Buck, what a crappy situation. I guess I would NOT participate in the naming game, and would just take the not getting my patient up to the chair thing for what it's worth. If I had a legit reason...

  19. JUST SAY NO TO MNM

    Q. replied to buck227's topic in General Nursing

    This kind of paints a disturbing picture for me - although since I don't know what Wildtime looks like, it could actually be a good

  20. Did you have a Preemie or Pre Term Labor while working?

    Q. replied to dawngloves's topic in General Nursing

    Dawngloves- I'm in a way disappointed that I'm not making a differential that your area offers, yet relieved that at least SOME L&D nurses are. That's actually quite comforting. Sorry if it...

  21. Why LPN??

    Q. replied to Q.'s topic in General Nursing

    Well, aside from the two insecure individuals, I read some great responses that helps me to understand and think about things. For some of you, this argument is "old", well maybe for some of you who...

  22. Magnet Hospitals

    Q. posted a topic in General Nursing

    Ok. Are any of you familiar with the Magnet Designation for hospitals? My hospital organization just recently acquired this designation, and I think it's a joke. Two years ago, when I first heard...

  23. JUST SAY NO TO MNM

    Q. replied to buck227's topic in General Nursing

    Buck that is very interesting and enlightening. I am sort of against unions in a odd way - I believe they had thier place but in the past 10 years, haven't done squat that I know of. We have a small...

  24. Why LPN??

    Q. replied to Q.'s topic in General Nursing

    Woah, Iris, cool your defenses. It appears that you may be the insecure one that can't even discuss your role in healthcare. I challenge you to point out to me where I mentioned that LPNs are useless...

  25. Memories: Best & Worst of Clinicals

    Q. replied to TracyRN's topic in General Nursing

    I was helping another fellow nursing student give a bed bath to a male patient, and for no apparent reason (this wasn't a mental health floor either) he hauled out and punched my classmate right in...
