  1. Diabetic Wound Specialist Certification

    I'm currently an LPN working in a diabetes clinic, have been for the last 1 year 9 months and I also work a sub acute per diem. I'm starting my LPN to RN January 2018 and have a Bachelors degree in another discipline. I do not have the requisite ho...
  2. Low GPA school options

    What I did was look at the board of nursing website and went through every schools website and looked them up. That's how I found my LPN program. For LPN to RN I found one school that has a waitlist but it goes quicker than what they posted and all...
  3. Do you have to enjoy being a cna to make it as a lpn!??

    I'm an lpn that was not one before. I did direct care for special needs kids while in nursing school, but no adult/ geriatric care. I worked a few times as a cna to help out when my unit is short and to do a whole shift as a cna I strongly dislike....
  4. Becoming a nurse is no longer an option for me?

    Hello, I was a financial aid officer before I switched to healthcare. The $2,500 from the FAFSA does not make sense unless you are talking only about the Pell Grant. My numbers may be slightly off but generally a student can get $5,500 in federal s...
  5. RN to MD or CRNA

    I actually spoke with a nurse who went to med school after being a nurse for 8 years. Working as a nurse made him realize he wanted to be a doc. He had no regrets about becoming a nurse, just that he wanted to take on the doc role. I strongly reco...
  6. Ridiculous medical mistakes on TV

    In Criminal Minds a woman was dunked in an bleach filled bathtub. She gets pulled out and the ever perceptive Spence gives her milk and tells her it will "coat her lungs" and help protect them.
  7. Scrub bottoms for tall/fat female?

    Carharrts only ones I'll wear
  8. What kind of job can I get with an ADN but no license?

    You could look for pt care tech/ cna jobs, unit secretary, working at group homes (developmental disabilities/mental health), healthcare admin jobs such as pt registration, reception. Janitorial/ food service at a healthcare place ( hospital/ snf). ...
  9. EPIC

    I used meditech in clinicals and do telephone triage with epic at my job and love it once you learn the ropes it's awesome. The epic team for our practice went into one clinic and almost doubled the number of patients they saw just by customizing.
  10. hate being a LVN

    I work a large practice during the week and do a subacute on the weekends. While I love the facility I'm at and what I'm learning I would not want to do it long term ( the subacute). It goes double for LTC. It's just not my thing and that's ok I o...
  11. PHRN/EMT-P

    Thank you all for the awesome responses.
  12. Financial Justification of Staff Nurse

    I'm an LPN and do all that stuff except the PA's. How you utilize your LPNs and MA's largely depends on your workflow and nature of your practice. So if you have more injections, infusions, procedures, and higher risk triage questions (chest pain, ...
  13. PHRN/EMT-P

    Thank for your responses. I'll probably end of doing it backwards and that's what I was inquiring about. Jadelpn there are RN to EMT-P programs in other states, which is why I inquired as to if there are any in MA. I guess "bridge" is not the best...
  14. PHRN/EMT-P

    Hello, I'm a new LPN who will go into an LPN to BSN program in the next year or so. I'm going to get my EMT-B in the fall and would like to end up in an ER/ICU after finishing my BSN if possible. I'm very interested in getting my EMT-P or Pre Hospi...
  15. Question on cna to lvn transition program.

    All these things will be heavily school dependent. Some schools require a TEAS, some a HESI, and some another type of admissions test, but TEAS is most common. Some schools require prerequisites, but most that I have seen do not. My program did no...
