  1. Once again.....I'm a "nurse".....

    I thought for sure judge judy would still respect the nurse, as a professional!!!! geeze imagine if I stood up as an LPN she would have laughed at me. People have no idea what we nurses go through and do on a daily basis.
  2. Once again.....I'm a "nurse".....

    I saw a JUDGE JUDY episode (who I love) not long ago and she ****** me off!.. I usually always agree with her choices to grill and humilate evil people. This episode was about some chic suing some dude and she had her mom testify as a registered nurs...
  3. Where does an LVN new grad find a job?

    I got in a hospital as a PCA that was known for hiring lots of LPNS, i worked for a few months and once a LPN position opened i applied and had other nurses put a good word in for me and i got the job'!.. try that too
  4. thnk you!! all great advice, I think over time I will learn to adapt, but its sooo frustrating that they cant give you 5 minutes, today i called 3 and all 3 gave me a hard time. " DOCTOR her hr is 40, can i hold this med, do you want something else ...

  6. LVN job or PCT job??

    I would keep looking for a position and if not take a PCA position for now,. I graduated LPN school and got hired in a hospital really quick while i waited to take boards, then once i got my license i kept watching for a LPN to open and I got hired r...
  7. Any lvn/lpn demoted or fired recently.

    No.. I was just hired as a new grad cardiac LPN..I think some hospitals are trying to obtain MAGNET status and want to hire higher level education..Which doesn't always work because its costly. If these places do this that mean that RNS will be BSN, ...

  9. Nurse's getting younger

    I love 20+ years, old school nurses!...As a new nurse, I don't feel comfortable going to a new RN bc they are a RN, I feel like less than 10 years and you still haven't seen it all. I hope one day to be a 30 year nurse and be able to guide the young ...
  10. LPN Central / PICC Lines

    what kind of question do you have?
  11. LPN Central / PICC Lines

    really!! that would be weird, to ask the BON and they refuse on you. I recently asked if LPNS could take critical labs over the phone from lab, bc for some odd reason they don't let us at this hospital. They replied so quickly and said YES..its withi...
  12. LPN Central / PICC Lines

    LOL.. good for you... But noone mentioned 'ARTERIAL ACCESS". So your original comment wasn't needed. I was looking for current LPNS to answer my questions.
  13. LPN Central / PICC Lines

    thank you!:)
  14. LPN Central / PICC Lines

    Just wanted to give an update regarding LPNS using central/picc lines. I emailed the board of nursing in ohio and got a reply. "Thecommuter" venous access means peripheral or CENTRAL access, it doesn't mean through a vein only. It is not "way" out of...
  15. LPN Central / PICC Lines

    I thought this as well but my hospital seems to be less restrictive.. My main question is what does VENOUS ACCESS mean? i know peripheral venous and central venous access.. My BON says LPN can administer thru "venous" what would you say venous acces...
