    Have been told LPN BAD idea

    Sour Lemon replied to vspaniel's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    What area are you living in? In some places, LPN is very marketable ....not so much in others. What age range are you in? What are your financial circumstances like? What are you doing for work right...

    Which position for a nurse with a young baby?

    Sour Lemon replied to NeoPediRN's topic in General Nursing

    I would pick the first one. There are too many negatives to make the second one

    Judge Sends Man to Prison Because He Can't Pay Hospital Bill

    Sour Lemon replied to SunnyPupRN's topic in Nursing News

    He was writing checks to "stores near his home for small amounts". The state and expense of healthcare is an entirely separate issue. There are plenty of chronically ill people who don't write bad...

    New grad, do not feel challenged at all. Help?

    Sour Lemon replied to RNinCali15's topic in First Year After Licensure

    They probably care less about what you "need" and more about the safety of the patients. While you patiently wait for your day to come, learn all you can where you're at right now. At nine months in,...

    Work place burn out

    Sour Lemon replied to thebdon's topic in General Nursing

    I think it's a combination of poor staffing and catering to patients' unreasonable

    Judge Sends Man to Prison Because He Can't Pay Hospital Bill

    Sour Lemon replied to SunnyPupRN's topic in Nursing News

    He's essentially stealing from these businesses. Not only are they out the amount of the check, but banks often assess additional fees for the privilege of depositing a bad one. Few people stop to...

    What is considered "job hopping?"

    Sour Lemon replied to Nurse3242's topic in General Nursing

    It's easier to tell you what I don't consider job-hopping: -Moving up to a higher position with more responsibility and increased pay. -Moving to a completely different location. -Moving to a...

    Does anyone work PRN?

    Sour Lemon replied to BSN16's topic in General Nursing

    Classroom orientation was one week. Orientation for my PRN job was six days ...but they "forgot" I was on orientation on my third day and assigned me a full load of patients by myself. Oh well. It...

    Does anyone work PRN?

    Sour Lemon replied to BSN16's topic in General Nursing

    I work PRN, but it is my only job. I work with other PRNs with full time jobs, though. They had to make arrangements to attend orientation, but they were able to space it out over a few orientations....

    I am sorry

    Sour Lemon replied to menot's topic in General Nursing

    I think you might be having the same problem, again. As a stand-alone post, this doesn't make much

    getting reinstated

    Sour Lemon replied to Terri&4kids's topic in General Nursing

    Have you contacted your state board? I'm pretty sure the process varies somewhat from state to state. I have no personal experience with this type of issue, but from what I've heard, it's best to get...

    Starting a Nursing Position - Should I keep my minimum wage job?

    Sour Lemon replied to macjay's topic in General Nursing

    I would probably jump ship and try to save a little money during the six month assignment. Staying on good terms with your previous employer wouldn't be a bad idea,

    Foundations of health professions associates, is it too good to be true?

    Sour Lemon replied to KZ2016's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It sounds like a colossal waste of time and money, to me. Why bother with a medical coding certificate if you want to be a nurse? And why take algebra and A&P if you plan to work as a CNA? I could...

    CNA's,Housekeeping and Dietary Aides make the same salary in LTC?

    Sour Lemon replied to PoppyLizz's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    There are people who spend sun-up to sun-down working in the fields. It's hard work, and most of us would go hungry if we suddenly had to produce our own food, but they get paid very little for their...

    Agency Nurses Have No Rights?

    Sour Lemon replied to AGaston's topic in General Nursing

    1. Most of these things don't seem like "agency" issues to me ....the exception being the pixis access. 2. Why do you want the "right" to return to a hospital you were so miserable at? 3. It's not...

    Sour Lemon replied to lofferjean88's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not sure who "them" is, but if I had to guess, I'd say California. If it is California, they always take a very long time. I hope you didn't write to them in the same style that you've posted here...

    Patient NOT a nurse with a ???

    Sour Lemon replied to JWFeeII's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    It's all perfectly understandable with a preschooler ...but a grown adult might wonder why they're being treated like a preschooler on the rare occasion that it

    What should one do in this case?

    Sour Lemon replied to Nursein2017's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    He might be serious, but I doubt it. It sounds like he's entertaining himself by being dramatic and "shocking". I would give him a matter of fact response and change the subject. The more attention...
