    Any HI LPN's here? I work for Kaiser (pediatrics) in Denver, Colorado and will possibly be moving to Maui in early 2013 with my family. My husband is helping a friend open a new restaurant. Our friend has lived in Maui for 15 years, currently has a ...

  3. Need help with a nursing school in CO

    I spoke with Carole Peters at the FRCC nursing program information meeting for September 07 and she said that they have not had room to add LPNsfor the last 2 years. They have 700-800 folks on the waitlist for the ADN and over 100 for the LPN-ADN:o (...
  4. LPNs glorified Techs?

    I agree that it depends on the state and the community in which you work. I worked in Paradise, CA on a busy surgical floor and enjoyed it so much. In that community LPNs were highly utilized and respected as nurses. Now in CO I work LTC because acu...

  10. med/surg for LPNs after LTC?

    Thank you for your responses. I will definately have to check out Denver Health soon. I was told by Carole Peters at FRCC Westminster that they haven't had any spaces for LPN to add into the 3rd semester ADN program in 2 years. She thought the Boulde...
  11. What is the nicest thing a patient has ever said to you?

    The kindness and sweetness those special patients share with us stays close to our hearts and makes us remember why we became nurses. I hear, "You have such a nice smile, Thank You." all the time.

    I appreciate this thread and all the great suggestions. I have never asked for a raise but have been thinking about it for awhile now. Thanks again!
  13. Do you have to give drugs you do not agree with?

    I fired my midwife in my 36th week of prenancy because she wanted me to take this. I was having my 4th child and had had 3 nonmedicated, quick vaginal birth (less than 3 hrs for the first and less than 2 hours for the 2nd and 3rd children). I had ju...
  14. Home Health Nursing?

    That is so sad. I am sorry that happened to you. I have considered doing home health as an LPN and I may down the road; I enjoyed it as a HHA. But, I am new to CO and would like to get some more acute care experience. I am finding that difficult to ...
