I work in a major metropolis and ALL the hospitals told the nurses also in the early 2000s, so I completely understand what you are saying. Any that had LPNs told them they had to become a RN within a certain amount of time or leave or retire if you...
THANK YOU SO MUCH !!! You are so awesome !! Your post really helped . I started looking around , and read different things around the web. Some good and some horror stories but none of what I read was as good as yours. Is it ok if I PM you, if I hav...
I don't have any med-surg or acute care. Just LTC. But how can you remember a 500 + page study guide ? I know it is a test, but how many mistakes can you make before you fail ?
I really need some advice. I live in NC and wanted to go Indiana State University. Well. recently the BON of NC decided that they will no longer recognize ISU. I was will to go to a border state to complete the program, but the BON recognizes Excelci...
Can anyone give tell how they are financing school ? I would like to do it without taking out new loans if I can .I am told I make to much for real aid (grants) and I have a lot of loans from before. I don't want to be paying loans back for the rest ...

I think this absolutely nuts. I looked at what a PAs education and salary is . I wonder why they can have still only a masters degree and a nurse has to get to back to get a DNP, but the same or nearly the same pay. I am all for education and profes...
I am so sorry you are experiencing this. I love the PRNs,they are actually like a breath of fresh air to me. I know the pettiness that you are speaking of. But that is usually FT against each other sadly. Where I am , the FT are at each others throat...
My only advice is , if you take A&P through Excelsior, make sure the credits match other schools if you decide to get a higher ducation when done ( ex. BSN, MSN, PHD ). My friend didi this and was told she had to do A&P over because they want...
I have a DON that wants to know EVERYTHING. This DON is a major control freak , has favorites and has done some incivilbility. She constantly threatens jobs ,especially of good hard working staff, but her faves can do no wrong. No matter what they d...
I believe who ever said if you want t o be a MD , be a MD. If you want to be a NP , be one. I am also pursuing to be a NP. And like you I did pre-med, But sometimes life has a way of taking you in a different direction. I think someone said you don't...
LOL. :lol2: . This so hilarious. When I was in school a lot of my fellow thought the same. There were people like you and I who tried to warn them. People think it's like on t.v. Well, guess what? Half of my class dropped during 1st clinical rotati...
I am so glad you would not be my nurse. If you came in my room with that crap I would kick you out immediately. Do you honestly believe this ? You can give a reality check without a guilt trip. You will learn this when you become a good nurse.
It depends on what state you are operating in the scopes of practice for both. Someone said LPNs don't do PICCs. DEAD wrong. Where I work they can and IV pushes. You can't make generalizations thank you.
Wow, as many have said you have the right to be precepted right . But as a LPN I have precepted many RNs.But I can tell you when I first started my job, I was precepted by RNs , I had the same experience. I a lot of them did not want to be bothered a...
