Currently enrolled in LPN to RN program

Latest Activity

  1. from Ambulatory Care to Bedside

    I recently completed the LPN to RN program and have been doing phone triage for the past several yrs. My current employer has a pension system and I need less than 1 year to be fully vested in it. Now that I've renewed my clinical skills, I want to ...
  2. I was accepted to William Paterson's RN to BSN online program. Looking for feedback good or bad from anyone that attended/graduated from this program. - Is this program doable to complete in 12 months like it advertises? - I know a semester...
  3. NJCU ABSN current students or graduates?

    I'm considering applying to this program. I considered it years ago and didn't bc of cost (at that time it was 19k). Even though it's increased since, I find myself going back to this program. Those of you who have graduated, how is your grade calcul...
  4. I recently completed the LPN to RN challenge program at Brookdale. Unfortunately, I only tested out of 160 and 161 (I hoped to have also tested out of 162, but that didn't happen). I will be taking 162 online evening in the fall. I'd like to know if ...
  5. NJ LPN Scope of Practice

    Thanks for responding, 2bnurseplease. I saw that posted on the BON's site also. It's very vague and talks about the requirements to open a school, etc. It doesn't go into the scope of practice.
  6. NJ LPN Scope of Practice

    I got my LPN license in August (2010) and was hoping I would've been sent a Scope of Practice with it. I've tried to look on the BON's website to see if it's posted on there and it's not. What is posted on there is an algorithm guideline, which doesn...
  7. NJ accredited CEUs

    Does anyone know of any sites that are accredited by NJ for providing CEUs? Of course I'd like to obtain all of my CEUs for free, but if I need to pay for some of them too, that's okay. I found a few sites (ie. advanceweb.com, medscape.com and ceu4...
  8. Reality check: new grad in SNF

    I'm a new grad LPN working in LTC and I got only 1.5 days of orientation. I asked for more time and on the 3rd day, they had me orienting with a new grad RN; it was our 3rd day for both of us. It was like the blind leading the blind, but we managed...
  9. Hourly rate for RN's, LPN's, CNA's in Your State

    I'm in Central NJ and my LTC facility (privately owned) pays the following for new grads: LPN = $25/hr RN = $33/hr CNA = ? Both positions get $1 shift differential and time and a half for holidays (only 3 are recognized as holidays: Thanksgiving, Chr...
  10. How do you balance your med pass?

    Thanks so much EVERYONE!!! You all hit the nail on the head of how my typical day is. I work the morning shift (7-3) and that 3 hr window between 8 and 10 is nuts!! If I'm done with those meds at 11:30, I'm thrilled. But lately it's been 11:45. ...
  11. How do you balance your med pass?

    I'm a new grad (LPN) and have been working on a LTC unit with 25 beds for 2 weeks. I'm still feeling overwhelmed with the amount of meds I have to pass out, but am slowly getting passed it. My question is... how do you balance your med pass to be in ...
  12. Only at a job for a few weeks?

    I'm feeling the same way, luvmydogs84. I, too, am a new grad (LPN) on a LTC unit with 25 patients on my floor. I've only been there 2 weeks and am feeling overwhelmed with the amount of meds I have to pass out. Not sure if I should stay here until ...
  13. ATI Testing

    I would ask your school if they have any testing modules available through ATI. If they do, they should be able to give you the ID and password. My school made that available to us shortly before we took our exit exams and it helped greatly! Best ...
  14. New Grad feeling overwhelmed

    Hi Board, I graduated LPN school in June and took and passed my boards in August. I got a job as a Med Nurse on a LTC unit, have been there for only 1 week and am feeling a bit overwhelmed . I was very honest during the interview and told my employer...
  15. Confused on what LPN school to attend. Help.

    I did my clinicals at Alameda in Perth Amboy, Raritan Bay (Old Bridge & Perth Amboy), Robert Wood (New Brunswick & Rahway), Summit Oaks Hosp, JFK Hartwyck and St. Peters. The experiences were very good overall, but it also depends on when th...
