  1. Lpn told me she works ICU??

    HyzenthlayLPN replied to Runnergirl84's topic in Critical Care

    Every state has their own nursing scope of practice. In my state, the only thing the LPN nursing code of practice expressly excludes an LPN from is an INITIAL assessment and the care plan (LPN's can...

  2. speak out or grin and bear it?? Intimidation/bullying

    HyzenthlayLPN replied to M1026L's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I would see if there was another unit to transfer to and/or be looking for a new job. It sounds like you are in hell. To me, life is too short to deal with that kind of

  3. Told I'm too smart for LTC

    HyzenthlayLPN replied to gypsierose's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    When I started nursing school, I didn't think I would want to do LTC. During nursing school, I found that LTC was where my heart was and I have no regrets :) Everyone has their own niche. I know folks...

  4. Should I quit? Help!!

    HyzenthlayLPN replied to Neener_RNBSN's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I think I would try to take a leave of absence. If that isn't available, I would turn in my notice. Take some time to rest, focus on managing your anxiety and then move

    HyzenthlayLPN replied to villageRN's topic in School

    I am the only nurse in my school district so I rotate through the schools. My favorite school is the Pre-K through 1st. I LOVE the little ones. That said, I enjoy all the schools and the

  8. I need to share my story :(

    HyzenthlayLPN replied to whatdayisit11to7Nrse's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    ((((HUGS)))) I feel for you. I went through a similar ordeal when I was in my early 30's and went from being a very active mother of two who worked 60 hours a week, went to school part time (earning...

  10. New 2-year contract required months after being hired on. Should I decline?

    HyzenthlayLPN replied to LonghornChic's topic in General Nursing

    If they are changing the terms of the agreement, THEY are breaking the agreement, not you. If/when they contact you to sign a contract, tell them that you accepted the job specifically because they...

  11. Admission assessment

    HyzenthlayLPN replied to glm777's topic in MDS Coordinator Information

    I apologize for not noticing I was reading RAI 2.0 rather than 3.0 (although I think 2.0 is much more clear on this issue). The wording in 3.0 is confusing because in my understanding, it says the...

  12. Admission assessment

    HyzenthlayLPN replied to glm777's topic in MDS Coordinator Information

    From the RAI: If a resident goes to the hospital and returns during the 14-day assessment period and most of the initial assessment was completed prior to the hospitalization, then the facility may...

  14. Rejected for being a Male NP?

    HyzenthlayLPN replied to googs's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    You could talk to an employment attorney. It is really unfortunate that the people hiring for the position are so short

  19. Staff Development Coordinator

    HyzenthlayLPN replied to cbrue645's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    I will weigh in here :) In my area (Tulsa, OK) Staffing Development Coordinator's in nursing homes do VERY little actual staffing development. They primarily make up the schedules, interview potential...

  21. Isolation - yes/no

    HyzenthlayLPN replied to mamahank40's topic in MDS Coordinator Information

    Make sure the charting supports the need for isolation. At least one nurse every day should chart that the resident is under contact isolation precautions r/t C-diff. and the need to contain the...

  22. change job when newly pregnant?

    HyzenthlayLPN replied to treeye's topic in General Nursing

    For me, the pregnancy is the biggest issue. You will not be covered by the FMLA if you change jobs because you need to work for a year for that employer for FMLA to apply so your new employer (unless...

  25. Do I have a case against my employer?

    HyzenthlayLPN replied to Kmcnabb's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    1) What state agency regulates/licenses your facility? I would call them to report the conditions. 2) Sexual abuse of a resident is a criminal offense. In my state, nurses are mandated reporters. That...
