In my 2nd to last semester. The online Help Desk is a nightmare. They can't "HELP" with Turn It In, a submission that the school requires you to use. Issues with resubmissions take 24 hours so you'd better be on the ball and turn in your work ear...
I would wonder how the state board of nursing defines the LPN's scope of practice. Whatever issues the OP has with the LPN are not the issue. In our state, LPNs handle "routine" or low risk cases. In no way can L&D be considered routine or low ri...

No question asked is "stupid." That is how we learn new things -- nursing is constantly changing, updating based on evidence-based practices. Believe me, I have a lot of questions! Keep asking and keep learning!
Step out of the darkness and into the light. It's over, time to apply all that knowlege, and really get down to the reality of nursing! :balloons: I believe there is a beach chair with my name on it too for a few hours!!

So sorry, just noticed tne PN -- I am taking the RN exam -- so sorry. My response may not help you with the PN. My suggestion is to do something online or at least a question-based review in an NCLEX style. I am currently in a Medspub review this ...

Getting ready to graduate in June -- Glad we don't have to wear them. Tradition or not, times change. I always thought they were impractical as noted by the bedpan incident above! And . . . we used to use abestoses to rest hot pots on from the sto...
