  1. CA LVN allowed to set up TPN?

    That's what I initially thought, however after meeting today with the RN in charge I was informed I was to be setting up and administering the TPN. After starting the infusion and assessing for a few minutes, I was to finish my documentation and leav...
  2. CA LVN allowed to set up TPN?

    Checked both my basic nursing and med-surg nursing books, they both briefly (a few paragraphs) give an overview of what PN/TPN is. The basic nursing book gives no instruction on administering, as it does with other procedures such as inserting NG tub...
  3. CA LVN allowed to set up TPN?

    Well, apparently they don't have any nurse educators working on thursdays or fridays, so I'm out of luck there :/
  4. CA LVN allowed to set up TPN?

    Thank you. Currently on hold with the CABRN.
  5. CA LVN allowed to set up TPN?

    Also, what would I ask the CABRN? Not really sure since it's an LVN scope of practice question.
  6. CA LVN allowed to set up TPN?

    I contacted the CABVNPT but I won't get a reply until Tuesday. I found a sheet from the California Vocational Nurse Educators (updated 2010) and it says infusing tpn or other fluids, blood withdrawal throught central line is not within LVN scope of p...
  7. CA LVN allowed to set up TPN?

    Any admin able to help answer? I called the board and they won't get back to me until next week, but I start training tonight. Former classmates that I asked tell me working with a central line is a nono, which is what I thought. But I can't find any...
  8. CA LVN allowed to set up TPN?

    Do you know what kind of 'set up' that would need to be done the night before?
  9. CA LVN allowed to set up TPN?

    Hello, I'm an CA LVN and today have been offered a case position with a home health agency. From what I understand, my job will be to arrive at the client's house at 10pm and set up the TPN. I was informed that all I had to do was set up the TPN so i...
  10. Thank you both for your advice. Now that I think about it, I've seen quite a few nurses come and go during my time in LTC, so I guess being fired is a pretty common occurrence in this area. Which isn't too appealing a thought That would be great if ...
  11. In the later part of last year I was terminated from my first LVN job. It was a per diem day shift float position and honestly was a lot for me to handle. The whole situation really brings me down whenever I think about it. It made me rethink whether...
  12. I feel like a FAILURE, what do I do now?

    I know exactly how you feel. I was fired last year, and every application I fill out always asks if I have been previously terminated. I either put "let go during probationary period" or, more recently, "job ended." I've only been called back once (t...
  13. Fired from my first job.

    Honestly, I feel relieved. I'm going to miss the income though, and it's going to suck working just as a CNA, not to mention looking for another job and explaining why I was fired.
  14. Frustrated, Confused after first interview

    I'd feel so lucky to be in your shoes. I'm still looking for my first job. Be happy that they're talking to you like you're hired. Just my 2¢
  15. Depressed about not finding a job

    Thank you everyone for your words. I guess I should be happy I have a seasonal job through Mollen (although I have no idea how that will work out for me). It's just that by now, I thought I would have a F/T job. I will try reconnecting with some old ...
