  1. Am I a coward for going on FMLA due to COVID?

    tiffanyB12 replied to ML1376's topic in Disaster Preparation

    First of all, I don't think that you are a coward at all. Second of all, even if you didn't have those medical conditions and wanted to leave, no one is allowed to judge you. I don't know what's going...

  2. New LVN Grad not feeling ready.

    tiffanyB12 replied to moomin's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Of course the school cannot possibly prepare you enough. I graduated at the top of my class from my LVN school, which was great by the way, and still did not feel ready. That's because in school we...

  3. I feel like I’m being targeted please help

    tiffanyB12 replied to Ms.Frank's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    What you describe is not normal. It may be that you are targeted or there is a toxic culture in there. At my place of work write ups are extremely rare. You don't deserve a supervisor who is that...

  4. Graduated 3 years ago, now I’m considering taking the NCLEX

    tiffanyB12 replied to reyesmegan1's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Hi there! I have a relative in CA who went through this too. I think he initiated the online application process on BON and then talked to his nursing school because BON wanted his paperwork from...

  5. Quitting job after only 8 months

    tiffanyB12 replied to Alexxoxox's topic in General Nursing

    Moving can cost a lot of money. Also, it's really none of their business. You don't owe them an explanation. However, if you want to be nice and offer one, i would say it didn't work out ( my lease...

  6. Nurse Practitioner (Mother) leaves 21 month old in car for 8 hours

    tiffanyB12 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    I feel bad for the mother, i really do. I am not judging her. However, don't say that this could happen to anyone because this certainly won't happen to me! And you know why? Because I don't rush,...

  7. Force to change unit in the middle of shift

    tiffanyB12 replied to Anon143's topic in General Nursing

    Yes they can. There are times when I was in 3 different departments during my 8 hour shift, 2 of which were specialties. At my work I get to float anytime they are short staffed. I am not even a float...

  8. local anesthesia and drug test

    tiffanyB12 replied to jojojojojojo's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Lidocaine( or similar med) is not going to be a problem. For starters, it is out of your system already. Second of all, drug screens don't test for it. We do drugs screens at my Urgent Care all the...

  9. As seen on TV

    tiffanyB12 replied to JBMmom's topic in General Nursing

    Watching a Soap opera- the groom gets stabbed by his new bride's ex boyfriend and is bleeding out on the ground. The wife starts panicking, crying but does nothing. I am yelling at the TV- put some...

  10. not smart enough

    tiffanyB12 replied to amynursing's topic in General Students

    Don't worry about other students and how much they study. Focus on yourself, focus on understanding the material, and continue working hard. One test at a time, one assignment at a time, one clinical...

  11. not smart enough

    tiffanyB12 replied to amynursing's topic in General Students

    I don't think these are mutually exclusive. I graduated at the top of my class in nursing school, and now I am a kind, compassionate nurse who is also a team player. I went above and beyond during...

  12. "My doctor told me..."

    tiffanyB12 replied to angeloublue22's topic in General Nursing

    To the earlier post making a comment whether patient education is provided in Urgent Care Centers or Outpatient centers, the answer is yes. I work as a nurse in Urgent Care and we do patient education...

  13. Sexual harrassment or just an old creep?

    tiffanyB12 replied to CBlover's topic in General Nursing

    In my opinion, this guy really likes you/interested in you and i know this because i have been in this position before. It starts as a nice/polite conversation with you just being nice/friendly, and...

  14. Is LVN not enough for you!

    tiffanyB12 replied to YourFuture22's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You are right, there is that society pressure. Mine also comes from my family who make it seem like nothing is ever enough. People will always ask about your next step. It's something I encounter a...

  15. Love for Nursing

    tiffanyB12 replied to LpnTyka's topic in General Nursing

    Words cannot describe how much I love my LVN job. I work in the multi specialty medical building. My main job is as an LVN in Urgent Care, but I float and help as needed in other units including...

  16. Nursing video game?

    tiffanyB12 replied to Lexi256's topic in Nursing News

    I used VSim for Nursing while i was in school. While not an actual video game, it is a simulation and feels like a game. Our DON presented it to us one afternoon in class, and after that i purchased...

  17. resigned

    tiffanyB12 replied to hopern84's topic in General Nursing

    I am sorry to hear about what you went though that at your former job. Sounds like it was a toxic environment and you did the right thing by leaving. I used to work in a similar environment like that...

  18. Any urgent care LPN's?

    tiffanyB12 replied to KCNURSEGUY's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I work full time in Urgent Care and I love my job to pieces!! There is never a dull moment! I enjoy my time there and often at the end of the shift I don't want to leave. I work office hours during...

  19. Mandatory Influenza Vaccine

    tiffanyB12 replied to AllisonMcTigue's topic in General Nursing

    I work as a nurse at the Urgent Care and I don't mind getting a flu shot. One person in front office refused to get it during last flu season, and she had to wear a mask while at work, every day. She...

  20. Is earwax removal an emergency?

    tiffanyB12 replied to Emergent's topic in Emergency

    While an emergency, trapped wax can cause difficulty hearing, or get stuck in the ear causing redness/irritation. People come in rather often to my Urgent care for ear wax removal, and I am usually...

  21. Nursing Drug Test!

    tiffanyB12 replied to Petrichor's topic in General Nursing

    For my job preemployment, I had to fill out the form about which prescription medications or OTC meds I was on. The doctor told me to list everything just in case. I take triptans for occasional...

  22. Going into EMS?

    tiffanyB12 replied to TNViking's topic in Emergency

    As someone who used to work as EMT-B, it doesn't make sense to go from RN to EMT-B. If you want the "excitement" of prehospital care, why not get a CCT nurse training? As a former EMT, i worked with...

  23. 42 Years Old - Is it too late to become a nurse?

    tiffanyB12 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    First of all, at 42 you are still young! If nursing is what you want to do, go for it! And please don't listen to someone who tells you that it's too late. By the way, we had a lady in my nursing...

  24. Wrong specialty

    tiffanyB12 posted a topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I got my LVN license two months ago and looking for a job. It has been tough. I am not entirely new to the medical field- have been an EMT for several years and a medical assistant. Even with that,...
