1. Another thread on lazy CNAs

   karen2 replied to catlynLPN's topic in LPN/LVN

   I find it interesting you said "make good friends...." sounds like my nursing educators talking to us while in NS. I remember at least 3 of my nursing educators told us at separate times that the best way to get help from the CNAs in your unit is to ...

3. New Nurse..just wondering....

   karen2 replied to kaydrian's topic in LPN/LVN

   I agree that it depends on where you live. Most job ads where I live are asking for current CPR certification as well as pharm and infusion certifications.

5. What Do You LIKE About Being an LPN?

   karen2 replied to pagandeva2000's topic in LPN/LVN

   I like the hands-on experience, along with the opportunity to do patient teaching. Being a LPN has given me the opportunity to finally call myself a nurse, and yes pagandeva we are NURSES:) The career advancement for me is an added bonus... sometimes...

6. Grrrr....comments made by a care-aid...

   karen2 replied to OgopogoLPN's topic in LPN/LVN

   Ogopogo, sounds like this care-aid needs some help in understanding the educational patterns in nursing. You will be surprise how many healthcare workers/providers don't understand the patterns either. This reminds me of my OB clinical, myself and 3 ...

10. Why Does It Seem That RN's Hate Us and Hospitals Don't Believe In Us??

    karen2 replied to brown eyed girl's topic in LPN/LVN

    I have to say that I agree that my LPN is dehumanizing, I find this as a common statement when some RNs are conversing, even in public seminars to say the least. No, on here I was just making a mockery of those RNs who choose such words not meant to ...

11. Why Does It Seem That RN's Hate Us and Hospitals Don't Believe In Us??

    karen2 replied to brown eyed girl's topic in LPN/LVN

    I really think is unfair how you can draw conclusions to my posting. If you read my opening remarks carefully, I indicated that though the posting was a year old that I see the same events happening today. Again words like "my LPNs" are open to many ...

12. job: terminology

    karen2 replied to lauraflowers's topic in LPN/LVN

    Hi Caliotter, your suggestions seems right perhaps it won't work for all ads though, not sure which ones lauraflowers was refering to... however, the job ad I recently interviewed for had the same type of terminology and said "no calls." Again, I thi...

13. Why Does It Seem That RN's Hate Us and Hospitals Don't Believe In Us??

    karen2 replied to brown eyed girl's topic in LPN/LVN

    Copperhorset, though your post may be a year old but I see what you described in your post today as a new LPN. I have to say that I totally agree with your comments and wish that many RNs can come out like you. I'm actually a BSN RN student but decid...

14. job: terminology

    karen2 replied to lauraflowers's topic in LPN/LVN

    Hi laura, I ran into a similar situation while interviewing recently. Here's what I got from my interviewer as per the weekend only program. You will have Monday through Friday off. Then, you will be required to work two 16 hour shifts, I believe one...

15. Indiana State University BSN students

    karen2 replied to EricJRN's topic in Online Learning

    Congratulations to you on passing patho Thanks for sharing. I kinda figure it would not be as described by the sales person, not that I mean he tried to mislead me, lets just say I didn't believe the questions at the back of the module would suffice,...
