  1. !st LPN job nightmare

    To the others, do you all work in nursing homes? I've been working for 7 years at the nursing home and I can't imagine anyone fast enough to check off each entry in the cardex one at a time. During the day, the nurse takes care of 28-30 patients. Som...
  2. !st LPN job nightmare

    First of all, I would like to ask what state you work for. I guess the inspectors are not scaring the hell out of your nurses and administrators. Where I work, those nurses would lose their jobs(if they get caught).
  3. Keep on practicing. If you don't feel confident, keep taking practice exams from review books or you can review your old exams. Understand what is being asked. If you could, do try to understand the formulas that you have instead of just memorizing t...
  4. I am so glad I have a chance to go back to school for something else besides nursing. My mom is a nurse and I respect experienced nurses so much it bothers me to see you folks not getting the credit and the respect you deserve. You folks put in more ...
  5. just venting. (long)

    John, I am a male LPN, too and encounter similar circumstances. I can only wonder what things the lady said for the other residents not to take medication from you. If the lady is deemed capable, and after you have explained to her what her medicatio...
  6. Never understood nursing

    My mom has worked in several hospitals and it seems to me like nurses can do the things this person said. Not all, mind you but when my mom tells us what happens at work, you can't help but wonder if these are just isolated cases or not. I am nurse, ...
  7. Please don't get on the guy's case for wanting a stable, well-paying job. I have been working in LTC the past 7 years and I can count on my fingers (and toes) the number of nurses who do their jobs out of the goodness of their hearts. They may say so...
  8. Gone From Rn To Adon/mds Coorditator Overnight!

    Ma'am I really appreciate the fact that you are trying to find ways to ease your transition into the ADON position. I often wonder what training, if any, is given to someone new to this leadership position. A co-worker graduated from RN school(was LP...
  9. A co-worker just received a letter telling her that anyone not enrolled in Excelsior College before July 25, 2006 will not be recognized by the Maryland board of nursing. Does anyone know anything about this? I think the letter she got came from the ...
  10. Hourly Rate For LPNS

    In 1999, I was making $8.50/hr at a small town hospital in Alabama. I went to visit a friend in Maryland and applied for a job. I was offered $18/hr. As soon as I heard it, I did not know how to act. I guess my face changed or something because the D...
  11. Maryland NCLEX

    Let me ask my friends about it. The Baltimore area has had such a huge influx of Filipino nurses the past few years. It's wonderful! It makes the Philippine Indepedence Day celebrations more festive. I hope you love it here.
  12. How are filipino nurses treated in a foreign country?

    I have been around a lot of nurses. I am nurse's son and am a nurse myself. I have not personally experienced any overt acts of racism at work. Nevertheless, when Filipino nurses are among themselves you occasionally hear them talk about it. The comp...
  13. What's your story? Why did you take up nursing?

    I was in engineering school when I realized that I would not have enough money to pay for the full four years. I was not eligible for fed loans then but I had a 2 year scholarship. So my mom, a super nurse, and I decided that my best option was to go...
  14. How much did you study for the NCLEX-PN?

    There was no review for me. My mom forced me to take the exam months after I graduated. It was her idea that I take LPN classes anyway. Besides I was happily taking pre-engineering classes and juggling several jobs to worry about it. But to appease h...
