1. Lots of SATA questions for June NCLEX testers???

   bilingueRN replied to jaznia15's topic in NCLEX

   I had at least 10/75 SATA. I wasn't counting either. My results are on hold, so no pop up for me. Hoping to get quick results tomorrow.

2. How much do lpns earn in St.Louis,MO

   bilingueRN replied to ms1985's topic in Missouri

   I would personally think that going on to get your RN first would save you quite a bit of time and you would make quite a bit more money with more options for places to work.

3. Biggest Misconception about nurses you've heard

   bilingueRN replied to dinah77's topic in General Nursing

   People that think that I must have failed out of med school because I am an intelligent guy in nursing... ugh

4. Does your day shift have food days?

   bilingueRN replied to mappers's topic in General Nursing

   Who are you kidding? Every day is food day at the hospital! Food is like currency around my hospital.

5. Propofol shortage, anyone?

   bilingueRN replied to CNL2B's topic in General Nursing

   Interesting about the amps of Epi. Do you think that the docs are OK with that since in the ACLS algorithm you can only use vasopressin once? (not that the docs can't use it more, but with the new interns using their little flow sheet cards, it might...

6. Chiropractor looking for a night/weekend RN or LPN program in Kansas City

   bilingueRN replied to DCAMG's topic in Missouri

   Here's the thing with waiting though, you get your LPN and you are trained in that role and immediately have to change your thinking when you bridge to RN (which may also involve a long wait) and so you're a "new grad" twice instead of once. Why not ...

7. Chiropractor looking for a night/weekend RN or LPN program in Kansas City

   bilingueRN replied to DCAMG's topic in Missouri

   I would say that it would be better to wait for an RN program to open up for what you need them for. I think that LPN would add too much time on to your program. If PV works out, you could then go for an RN-MSN if that is your ultimate goal. You coul...

8. Chiropractor looking for a night/weekend RN or LPN program in Kansas City

   bilingueRN replied to DCAMG's topic in Missouri

   I don't think that they will ever advertise it as a part time program and they may not admit part timers since their admission standards are so sky high right now due to an overabundance of qualified candidates. When they change the curriculum, they ...

   Saint Luke's is about to change their curriculum, so they may have a part time program by the time you start, but no nights or weekends currently.

10. Waitlist chances

    bilingueRN replied to krestniy's topic in Missouri

    More than 15 percent of the students they admitted will not go there. So many people apply to multiple programs, I would say you have an excellent chance. I was in the same situation around the same spot on the wait list in a smaller program. Got in ...

11. NO REPLYS

    bilingueRN replied to NurseLil-lea's topic in Missouri

    Saint Luke's is incredibly hard to get in to. I have not heard much about LPN's being hired at SLHS, but I could be wrong. Have you thought of looking in to Truman Lakewood? They have quite a few LPN's. You can call the HR office at SLH and hope to t...

12. NO REPLYS

    bilingueRN replied to NurseLil-lea's topic in Missouri

    I'm here in KC and can give some insight on the student world and the St. Luke's system.

13. How many mEq's of K would it take to kill a 54lb woman?

    bilingueRN replied to DaughteroftheKing's topic in General Nursing

    I guess the answer to this question would involve what her current K level was. And since it is YOUR punishment, don't ya think you might want to do it yourself instead of asking on a board like this? Just my humble opinion here. Good luck in your fu...

14. Stethoscope help for 2nd career nursing student

    bilingueRN replied to Triathlon13's topic in Uniform/Gear

    I am also a non trad student and personally have a Littmann Classic II SE. It's a two sided stethoscope with a bell and a diaphragm. I think that it should be more than adequate for what I need it for, but I think you would be better served if you go...

15. Evening Shift - support needed.

    bilingueRN replied to Anniekins's topic in General Nursing

    As an evening shift CNA who formerly worked days, I agree that they are unorganized and we do get dumped on, but it helps when the RN's work twelve hour shifts, then the pts come at 1830!
