Working in healthcare while in school would be something... :)

But I also don't agree with doing something purely because your boyfriend tells you to. Make a list of pros and cons and decide for yourself. Good luck!

Are you doing it for the money or because you think you'll really enjoy nursing as a career? My opinion is that you should go for RN, take CNA/STNA classes and work in a nursing home or hospital...

Chalk it up to experience! That's what clinicals are for. It sounds like the situation could have been a lot worse. Be thankful for the experience and thankful it turned out ok.

Ok fair enough. I just see so many RNs who can't even find work, and ninety something percent of hospitals don't hire LPNs anymore--let alone in the ED..... I certainly don't think I am lowly, but...

I just got the job in the ER!! I was definitely the underdog--LPN going for an RN position. What an amazing thing this has turned into! I guess putting myself out there and being willing to take a...

Congratulations! How about: Registered Nurse, State of Missouri

It depends entirely on the situation.

I think you did a great job too. You did what any good nurse would do. You cared for your patient to the best of your ability, you consulted other nurses and the charge nurse, and you did everything...

Oooo! Sounds so hopeful for you! I think you did everything you could do for now. Unfortunately waiting is the hardest part. I am going through the waiting game now myself. Maybe a handwritten thank...

I went through that. I ended up getting an interview at my current employer after I had accepted and done some of the paperwork at another facility. I hesitated to even go for the interview but I...

I list employment like this: XYZ Employer City, State ...

Wow. That just sucks all around. I know how hard it can be dealing with patients/residents like that, but as GrnTea said, you cannot deceive a patient like that and yes, it's your fault. Valuable...

It sounds horrible, I know. BUT--when you get into LTC, things change a little from a medical standpoint. A lot of nursing home residents have advanced directives-DNR or DNRCC. Sometimes there's a...

This made me lol :D

Yes, it would depend on the state but also the facility policy. Our aides in the facility I work in aren't even allowed to put cream (other than lotion) on a resident! You definitely would have to...

Sent one. :)

I had an interview with a unit manager 3 weeks ago and I sent a thank you note. I had a second interview 2 days ago with the DON. She gave me salary and benefit information and the interview went...

It does sound wired....better give them a call and get it straightened out. Good luck. I'm sure it's not as bad as you think.

I don't think so....It has to be a misunderstanding. Either I am reading this wrong, or you are misunderstanding. I would think they would talk to you if you weren't doing something to their liking....

I say do whichever one you want. If you want to go into emergency or trauma nursing, definitely EMT.

If you get a flashback and then it stops, it could be that the needle is up against the wall of the vein. Try pulling back ever so slightly and readjusting.

You can't possibly chart on them every hour (?), especially if you work nights and they are in bed asleep. I like the above answer as well as: ...call light in reach ...skin warm and dry ...no...

I am from Ohio, but typically a bridge program will use your license as an LPN/LVN to skip a few of the basic nursing classes. You would still need all the pre-reqs prior to beginning the program....
