1. OB Tech/LPN Scrub

   granolatrees replied to granolatrees's topic in Ob/Gyn

   Being offended is useless and in no way productive. I had surgical rotations in school, not that I need to explain that. If they wanted a CST, they would have posted for it, not an LPN. Useless post is useless.

   I want to apply for this job. My dream is to work in OB. My only concern is item #1. I've been an a LPN in peds and LTC for 3 years. My only surgical exp is clinicals. I have full faith I'm competent. I asked a surg tech friend about the knowledge I...

3. Davenport PN Fall 2014

   granolatrees replied to shan409's topic in Michigan

   I completed DU-Midland LPN program this summer. During the middle of our year, they changed some of the planning and "synced" their coursework with the Warren campus. It put a delay on getting grades back, and it also meant that the tests were writte...

6. Clinical difficulties!

   granolatrees replied to lakencassady's topic in LPN/LVN Students

   I heard someone say once that for the first year of anyone's nursing career, they should come home and review/research the diseases they treated at work that day. Your texts are a great reference to refer to even after graduation.

7. Clinical difficulties!

   granolatrees replied to lakencassady's topic in LPN/LVN Students

   You should look into your Fundamentals or Med Surg book, as CHF s/s should have been covered at some point along your LPN education.. Edit: A&P isn't going to teach you s/s of disease processes.

    I can't believe I overlooked that. Wow, thank you. What other questions should I be asking?

11. Questions to ask while School Shopping

    granolatrees posted a topic in LPN-RN

    Hi folks, God willing I will graduate and become licensed this fall as an LPN. I LOVE my school, but it's expensive. I'm looking at getting my RN at a community college and then do a BSN completion program before pursuing my DNP. Anyway. What are s...

12. Being bullied at school (I thought we were all adults here!)

    granolatrees replied to granolatrees's topic in LPN/LVN Students

    First of all, it is what it is. I've worked in social services with children for 10 years. And while I agree it's often a frivolously used term, bullying is bullying and I am not here to discuss semantics. Secondly, I did not leave clinical site ear...

13. Being bullied at school (I thought we were all adults here!)

    granolatrees replied to granolatrees's topic in LPN/LVN Students

    How do you do that? Really. I do not know how to assertively address this passive-aggressive b.s. tactfully. I honestly somehow missed that lesson.

14. Being bullied at school (I thought we were all adults here!)

    granolatrees posted a topic in LPN/LVN Students

    I am only halfway through my first semester, and I left clinical in tears, called my advisor, and now have an appointment with the department head/one of my instructors on Monday, because I am 27 years old and being BULLIED in COLLEGE. Not only that...

15. Clinical uniforms?

    granolatrees replied to kjrobinetteSN's topic in LPN/LVN Students

    School issued scrubs. Black pants (which we could buy elsewhere, but the school sells 'em very cheap @ $15/pair). Black scrub tops with red piping. School logo patch we have to adhere appropriately to the arm of our scrub shirt. And our lab coat if w...
