I applied this year to the online program and I am waiting to hear back. I took the nurse entrance exam last week and got a 76 on that which is passing. You only have to have 60 percent to pass the Kaplan nurse entrance exam. When I went to get my nu...

I'm currently thinking about bankruptcy and accidently found this thread. I know it's old but I just wanted to say, why is everyone so harsh and rude when it comes to that? All of you people talking bad about people who file bankruptcy are being jud...
If you have a medical problem I understand that , but I still don't see the problem with asking the person you know can lift better first. My male tech's always got me if there was something that needed to be done with a female that made them uncomfo...
I'm a short small boned nurse and it is hard for us women to move around patients especially if the patients are bigger men. We're not made the same physically as men. I really don't think you should take it so hard that they are asking for help movi...

I don't understand how some of these people deal with being sent home like that. I just had my fourth baby a few months ago and I was in labor. My labor started with a bang late at night and two hours later I was at the hospital because I was hurting...
I am seriously looking into doing the LPN to RN online track at UACCB in Batesville, AR. Is there anyone familiar with the UACCB RN program or LPN to RN program?

I went to Baptist Health Schools of Nursing for my LPN training. They're a good school and make sure you know your stuff. It's a very hard school though. You have to have at least 77% to get a C. My class started out with about 87 students and by gra...

I worked for Baptist Health Little Rock and North Little Rock three years ago and that is how we got our LPN II. After 6 months we had to take an IV push medication class where we were educated on PICC and CVL lines and general IV care. We had to als...

I've been an LPN for a while but I'll be honest with you. We don't have as many job options as RNs do. It would save you time and trouble just to go ahead and go for your RN instead of having to go back again to school later.

Sadly I think the medical community in some ways encourages the disrespect. I practice in Arkansas and LPNs have been kicked out of a lot of job options. UAMS, Baptist, And St. Vincent no longer hire LPNs to work on any floors in the hospital not eve...
From my research Pitocin is not ideal for VBACS anyway. I'm wondering about these doctors you're getting in trouble with who are so Pitocin happy for a VBAC. That's scary. I refused Pitocin for my VBAC but my doctor was not a fan of it for VBAC anywa...
When I had my babies I was briefly told I was getting Pitocin but I wasn't educated on it. I just went with what the doctor or nurse said. With my last I was more educated and wrote out a birth plan refusing Pitocin, during labor, unless really neede...

Question: Why would 41 week inductions necessarily all be closed , thick , high? Some people go weeks dilated several cm before they go into labor. My sister in law was induced the day before her 40th week and she was already 3 or 4 cm before inducti...

I think for the most part in most healthy pregnancies your body does usually know when it's time. Then there are the exceptions that do require some intervention. There's a balance.
