   @ratlady I also took college algebra online. The course I took used MathExcel and it was excellent! Did I mention that I'm horrible at math. But I found my best help came from YouTube. You can find many different styles to get to the same answers...

2. Just Quit My LPN to RN Program

   LPNnowRNhopefull replied to CLUVRN's topic in LPN-RN

   @CLUVLPN - I certainly understand where you are coming from. I have been an LPN for 11 years, and I'm still at my same job since graduation. I love it! But I chose to go back to school at the peak of the recession, mostly because I got nervous abo...

   Hello Everyone, Once you have been accepted into the RN program, you may qualify for WIA Scholarship even if you do not qualify for financial aid. That was the case for me. The program can be very ruff at times, so you want to keep your working nee...

   LPNnowRNhopefull replied to cherry_blossom's topic in Florida

   @abpeeler - Ask all the questions you want! I was in the day program - evening was not even an option for the semester I was in. It was three semesters long - all together about 11 months. It is sort of randomized - meaning some weeks were 4 days...

   @ abpeeler I rented my book at the College Book Rack on Roosevelt near Kent Campus. I'm self pay as well. I think it was around $45 - but to buy it was $300+. But the best part is that Dr. Bloodworth does not require you to get a specfic book, and...

9. Facebook while on the clock?

   LPNnowRNhopefull replied to maureen924's topic in Professionalism

   I agree with Rnandsoccermom! Simply do not do it! The job deserves to have 100% of your attention and responsiveness while on the clock. My employer will not tolerate it.

    @ oldeddieboy - When an individual first enters the nursing field, you work very hard to prove yourself capable and do whatever it takes to get into the type of nursing you prefer. But as people age, they sort of get dependent on the higher wages th...

14. Representing yourself to the public as a nurse when you are not a nurse

    LPNnowRNhopefull replied to Penguin67's topic in Relations

    I think the real frustrating fact here is that companies (such as hospitals, LTC, ALFs, etc.) are finding ways to circumvent their way around employing the properly licensed staff. Sometimes, it is nurses who encourage this behavior - because the nu...

15. Dropped pills

    LPNnowRNhopefull replied to mandaaRN's topic in Medications

    The decision to administer a pill that had dropped on the floor should be based on the circumstances at the time. I deal mostly with the elderly, and they can frequently drop the pills. If the medication is a floor stock, or a medication I know to ...
