i am a lpn returning to rn school. i'm super excited and can't wait !!! class starts monday. :yeah:
anyway, if i was to make a terrible mistake in clinicals will my lpn license be revoked? i know that as a student we are practicing under our instructors license. i'm just not sure.
i also wanted to know from other lpns if you found rn school to be easier or harder being that you are already a nurse and have experience. i hope somethings such as critical thinking will be easier for me. i just pray that my experience as a nurse will give me a step up. i also recognize that i am a student and i promise i will not do any thing besides ( adl care) with out my instructors and nurse approval. too bad my instructors know i'm a lpn so i'm sure they may expect a little more out of me.
I recently graduated from RN school, after being an LPN. The most important thing to remember when you are in the clinical setting is that you are functioning as a student, not a nurse. I did not even let the nurses that I worked with in the hospital during clinicals know that I have an LPN license, to keep them from thinking that I was qualified to do things that I was perfectly qualified, to do but did not know if I was allowed to do as a student. Just don't do anything without the instructor knowing, and you should not make any serious mistakes :)
Wise words! The only thing I'm really having a problem with right now is changing from my "LPN hat" to my "student hat" and back again. I'm really enjoying school right now. Good luck to you!
