2. New LVN concerned about Code and STAT response.

   Lexxie replied to pageturnstyle's topic in LPN/LVN

   I would also check to see which residents are full codes vs. DNR or have living wills. In the LTC facility that I worked at, those things ultimately determined what was done in a emergency situation, ie: 911 call or comfort measures.

3. Starting LPN program Fall 2011, need help

   Lexxie replied to jala's topic in LPN/LVN Students

   If you take A&P now, you may be able to skip that in the LPN program. Two girls in my class were able to do this because they'd had A&P courses within 5 years of starting the program. I'd check into it.

4. Re: Does anyone regret becoming an LPN?

   Lexxie replied to lacy99's topic in LPN/LVN

   Lexxie replied to sasha2lady's topic in LPN/LVN

   None of the employees at my job have received raises - as far as I know. Being an almost 2-year old practice though, it's still getting off the ground, so I haven't really complained. However, my 2 year "anniversary" is coming up in April and I do...

12. Scared about boards

    Lexxie replied to LPN_thts_M3's topic in LPN/LVN

    I was in the same situation. I was single and pregnant when I graduated from nursing school. There were many factors involved other than that, but bottom line is that it was a full year before I could afford to take boards. Luckily, I was working ...
