About dbuy3

dbuy3 has 7 years experience as a LPN.

I currently work at the largest hospital in Tucson, AZ on a med surg unit, and I love my job. In the past I had worked in the ED as an LPN in Oklahoma. Right now, I’m also working on bridging my LPN certification to an ADN as a registered  nurse.

Over the last four years, I had been working in a community health setting, which is something that I will always miss doing. Getting to know patients that have very limited resources brought joy to my work. Additionally, unlike the hospital, I could regularly see the same patients and develop a friendship with many of them.

Despite that, I love working in the hospital again, and look forward to many more years helping patients in my new position.

  3. Alternative to ER

    dbuy3 replied to dbuy3's topic in General Nursing

    I appreciate all your comments and suggestions. I wouldn't have a problem working med/surg but the thing is that in my rural area the local hospital only employs LPN's in their urgent care facilities and doctor's offices. I could commute about 65 m...

  5. Alternative to ER

    dbuy3 posted a topic in General Nursing

    So I have a quick question that you all might be able to help me with. I just finished my LPN program and I'm waiting to take the NCLEX, hopefully soon. During my program, I got to choose a preceptor for Transition to Practice clinicals (last 120 ho...

  6. Laptop

    dbuy3 replied to Kmauro15's topic in General Nursing

    Here are few options I found in just a few minutes. I really really recommend ASUS laptops or even Acer nowadays. I tend to stay away from HP since they don't seem to last. The nice thing about ASUS is that their laptops usually carry a warranty th...

  7. Anyone else try urgent care and hate it?

    dbuy3 replied to AnnieOaklyRN's topic in Emergency

    They have housekeeping? Wow, every urgent care that I did clinicals in during my LPN program had nowhere near this amount of staff. I can see your point now.

  8. How much should I know before entering an LPN LVN program?

    dbuy3 replied to catina1214's topic in School Programs

    The program I just finished included A&P, but we could take it beforehand to cut off time from the program length. There are some colleges like New Mexico Junior College that offer A&P with lab online. I took it there because I could transfe...

    dbuy3 replied to Sickandtiredcna's topic in CNA/MA

    I'm only a few days from finishing my LPN program, I've completed all my tests and studying for the NCLEX now. More to the point, the last part of my program dealt with management/delegation. Most of my last few tests had to do with delegating app...

  11. Minoring in Spanish VS. learning it on your own

    dbuy3 replied to baileyxmolto's topic in General Nursing

    Actually, I took Spanish clep and transferred it to New Mexico Junior College, got 16 credits for it. I taught myself Spanish, had never taken a class before, so I was a little nervous about how it would turn out. However, 16 years of speaking it a...
