  1. I'm a freshman BSN student....

    Reading this made me smile and giggle a little, and not because I think it's funny, but because you sound a lot like I did a few years ago. Here's the thing. I dont know what the admissions board will look at as I've never been in grad school, but ...
  2. Is becoming a LPN worth it?

    I think you may be confused, and perhaps getting information from incorrect resources. If you would, allow me to clarify a few things for you. 1. I have never heard of an LPN making $10/hr. That sounds more in-line with CNA wages. There is a big diff...
  3. Has Being a Male Benefited you MORE or LESS

    No, the expectations have been the exact same for my female peers. I didn't get any special treatment outside of a few things that are uncontrollable. For example, one time two girls were speaking poorly of a patient in the bathroom of a LTC facility...
  4. "JUST" an Lpn

    Maybe she thinks it stands for "real nurse"?
  5. Looking for opinions on school

    The LPN program is 3 semesters and the medic program is 5 semesters and they are at the same school, so the cost per credit hour is the same, but obvsiously the LPN program will be cheaper. I like your trial-by-fire idea. I hadn't thought of it like ...
  6. Looking for opinions on school

    I agree with you but I wouldn't be able to start an RN program until Fall 2017 regardless of what I choose to do. In the mean time I could attend my community college lpn program that last 12 months while waiting on RN school to start.
  7. Looking for opinions on school

    I have several options. I can start Paramedic school Jan. 2015 then go back to RN school at a later point. On the other hand, I can attend LPN school and then either do a LPN to RN bridge or just start the RN program from scratch (but in 2017). I'd a...
  8. Paramedic Vs Registered Nurse: knowledge

    It sounds like you was an EMT-B. Anybody who has taken pharmacology can tell you what a beta blocker is. You can't be a paramedic and not know what a beta blocker is. I wouldn't expect an EMT-B to know what it is because they don't give very many dr...
  9. Bullied? What the heck is this about?

    There is a simple fix to this problem. Simply say and prefferably in front of others and very respectfully "I find it very offensive that you call me a girl, and would appreciate it if you did not do that". The woman who is doing this to you will eit...
  10. Dosing calculation for Ceftriaxone 400 mg IM

    You want 400 mg, but you only have 350 mg per ml. So, you should create a want-have divsion equation. It works like this: Want / Have so... 400mg / 350mg (per 1ml) = 1.14 ml If you need to divide the dose due to having to give in into two different t...
  11. Absolutely not!! I have dated a nurse that I work with and although everything was good for about 3 to 4 months, after that we had a break-up, long story short, I started dating her literally right after she stopped dating (and living with) a guy she...
  12. Wrong vaccine...sort of

    Thanks for your help. I'm new to vaccinating. I opened up the wrong fridge (we have a state frdige and a private fridge for vaccines), and grabbed them out. It was the correct vaccine, so the child is protected, but obviously, I want to watch out for...
  13. Wrong vaccine...sort of

    Today I had a patient come in and had to give them HPV #1 and Menactra. Well I did give them the correct vaccines, but I gave them the state vaccine and they have privatw insurance. Has anyone ever done this beforw? What should I do about it?
  14. Male LPN Marketability

    So are you saying the chances of being employeed are slim? I realize that it would best in the long-run to get my RN first, but that's not an option financially right now.
  15. Male LPN Marketability

    Hello, I have a question in regard to male nurse, more speficially LPN's marketability. I just (five months ago) completed an associates degree in medical assiting, and I am certified as well. However, after graduation I have not been able to find em...
