1. Cried (I mean BAWLED) all the way home from Memphis

   Weebee replied to LPNalmost!'s topic in NCLEX

   I AGREE 100%, I noticed that when I was given a question I didnt know the answer to, I was given a similar question later in the test which actually helped me to realize that my 2nd choice was the right answer (do to the fact that my 1st answer was n...

2. Cried (I mean BAWLED) all the way home from Memphis

   Weebee replied to LPNalmost!'s topic in NCLEX

   When I took my test it cut off at 89 questions... I felt that I didn't pass as when I got home I reviewed questions I had answered and found incorrect. Point is... 2 month later I got a card with the title LVN on it in my name. I dont think anyone ha...

3. LPNs need co-signer for verbal orders

   Weebee replied to KatieNoelLPN's topic in LPN/LVN

   Im sure its company policy, I have worked in California for 5 years and never needed a RN to co sign however, It was understood there are orders I could not take over the phone, for example DNR and Restraint orders but again, was company policy. HOWE...

   Weebee replied to JSlovex2's topic in LPN/LVN

   Weebee replied to realsocallvn's topic in LPN/LVN

   $23 is good money for a LVN I have 5 years xp as a LVN and have never made more than $19. Truth is, if you look at your medical benifit costs, you will pay over $5,000 per year for insurance, (to change the subject). I question why anyone would pay t...

6. Refused my first assignment today.

   Weebee replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Nursing

   LOL, I had to appeal my unemployment denial as well (which I won) by addressing the laws that govern nursing and the fact that I did not walk off the job as my employer claimed. Which just showed me, I made the right decision.

7. What's the longest time that passed before hearing back that you got the job?

   Weebee replied to NeoPediRN's topic in General Nursing

   After the interview, I call them within 24 hours, If they tell me to get them a few days thats all I give them (2-3 days) This continues until one of two things happens.... either they tell me to go away or they hire me. This has worked for every job...

8. Refused my first assignment today.

   Weebee replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Nursing

   Welcome to the Club, Im now a out of work lvn for refusing my assignment, but even so, you cant tell me I did the wrong thing... The way I look at it is, if they want to place me in an unsafe environment then that is a place I don't want to work at.

9. Lpn and RN at the same time??

   Weebee replied to Nursejoymariea27's topic in General Nursing

   I've been told that in California you must use the higher of the two, but this was related to CNA to LVN

10. CouId possibly work as an CNA w/RN license?

    Weebee replied to xoNurseRNxo's topic in Retired

    No kidding ? is California one of those states ?

11. The Roll of a LVN in California Hospitals.

    Weebee replied to Weebee's topic in California

    If you ask me, the LVN should be use much like a CNA is used... as a HELP to the RN .... LVN's should not be assigned any one or five patients... they should assist the RN's on the floor ... The problem here is the LVN would need to be given the repo...

13. The Roll of a LVN in California Hospitals.

    Weebee replied to Weebee's topic in California

    My hospital also worked this way... until they got sued by a RN claiming when the LVN took care of her husband the LVN did most of the documentation thus showing she was the Primary Nurse as all the RN did was the assessment and IV meds. Supposedly t...

14. Is there any CA State Law that protects the nurses?

    Weebee replied to redrose4u's topic in California

    Anyone know where to find this "law" showing it illegal for a RN to "Team" with a LVN as the RN will be responsible for more than the number of patients assigned to each floor... example Med/Surg 1 nurse to 5 patients.
