    New Pediatric LPN Homecare advice

    Queen Tiye replied to FutureNurse138's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Hello, I just always remembered to behave as a guest. I learned that it’s about what the family wants even if I disagree or even if it isn’t clinically sound, and to just document what they said...

    Decided not to pursue RN, may leave nursing eventually

    Queen Tiye replied to Mintezia's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I’m sorry you are having a difficult time. It sounds like you are burned out. I worked PDN and most of the families are people I wouldn’t be friends with. I found it more tolerable to take only...

    Any experienced LTC nurses?

    Queen Tiye replied to Jesshayesatx's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Oh! Remember the acronym PIE — problem, intervention, evaluation. So important. If you chart or report a problem make sure you follow up in the chart. For example, if Ms. Jones’ BP is 215/98...

    Congratulations! You’re primary reason for going to Florida is crisis pay? Will you stay on after the Covid crisis blows over? I ask because many nurses have posted about low nurse pay in Florida....

    Fact or Fiction? Masking and CO2 Dangers

    Queen Tiye replied to J.Adderton's topic in General Nursing

    I don’t suffer from anxiety and oftentimes it is difficult for me to breathe with my mask on, but you are essentially telling me: no you don’t have that issue and if you do it’s because you are...

    Fact or Fiction? Masking and CO2 Dangers

    Queen Tiye replied to J.Adderton's topic in General Nursing

    Fact or Fiction? Masking and CO2 Dangers

    Queen Tiye replied to J.Adderton's topic in General Nursing

    C02 is an issue, perhaps more so for some than others. Several times I’ve felt dizzy or faint. When I have bronchial flare-ups it’s hard to breathe with the mask on. In fact, I’m now...

    New Grad LVN thinking of quitting. HELP!

    Queen Tiye replied to New LVN20's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Too strong of a personality?

    Queen Tiye replied to NICU_rn_bsn's topic in General Nursing

    I experienced something similar, except I caught it myself when I realized I wasn’t very popular. I realized I was a “know-it-all” and at times abrasive. It stemmed from insecurity and a sense...

    Too strong of a personality?

    Queen Tiye replied to NICU_rn_bsn's topic in General Nursing

    What can I do with pediatric home health experience?

    Queen Tiye replied to simplenerd's topic in General Nursing

    Hello Newbie2019. From my experience, it’s difficult to get hired in inpatient services as a new nurse with just peds experience. It seems they consider that as no experience at all, considering...

    Ethics question, risky nurse, reckless behavior

    Queen Tiye replied to griffeysnurse's topic in General Nursing

    You are right for wanting to report the neglect of your facility. In my experience in LTC, the culture is to “look the other way”. The nurses there don’t say anything because they count on...

    Considering a career change from Pharmacist to Nurse (and eventually NP.. hopefully)

    Queen Tiye replied to thisaintnoregularhcp's topic in General Nursing

    Ditto. From what I understand, well-rounded candidates with purpose, and backgrounds other than just pre-med are more valuable than just straight “As”. I was shocked when I read that you are...
