  1. My Dr.s "nurse" is a MA playing nurse.

    Turn the office into the State Board of Healing Arts. It's illegal for an MA to indicate they are a nurse, not to mention giving advice, etc.
  2. Getting into a nursing program with a L.D.

    Thank you so much for your advice. It is very hard. She is ready for that next step and for a school not to accept applications because of a TEAS score and not looking at all the criteria as indicated on their website is very frustrating. She ste...
  3. Getting into a nursing program with a L.D.

    Thank you. She has had accommodations since 1st grade and went into college. As I mentioned, she turned in her accommodations in the fall, but did not use them. ATI said she could use her accommodations and will be able to for the Nclex. I know f...
  4. Getting into a nursing program with a L.D.

    Thank you! She does have accommodations. She turned in her paperwork last year when she enrolled. She did not use her accommodations this past year and did very well due to the great support with her instructors and the one on one ability to ask...
  5. Failed teas V twice...What should I do?

    Unfortunately, there are some people who are not very good test takers, but that should not stop them from pursuing their nursing career. Einstein was a poor test taker, as well as hundreds of other well-educated professionals. The TEAS score does...
  6. Getting into a nursing program with a L.D.

    Very nice post. The school is stopping my daughter from becoming a nurse. (At least at that school. There are others out there.) They would not accept her application packet because she did not have the score they wanted with her TEAS, yet, she has ...
  7. TEAS 6

    One of the Nursing Coordinators (who has her BSN) at the university said she took the test and did not do well. I would like to know if a BSN did not do well, will they take her license away?
  8. Getting into a nursing program with a L.D.

    I know your post is old, but I had to comment. My daughter is like you with excellent grades, etc. She was able to activate her accommodations that she had through college to take the TEAS. Unfortunately, her accommodations did not help her score...
  9. Lpn & asn are are being phased out.

    I live in the Midwest and LPN's are not recognized by hospitals and other facilities. I have read where they are slowly being phased out and career colleges will be discontinuing their LPN programs. Honestly, I think they should keep the LPN progr...
  10. My Dr.s "nurse" is a MA playing nurse.

    "bugya90" -- great reply. You replied with a factual answer. Also in our area, if the physician is not in the office, the MA's are only allowed to take vitals and collect urine and sputum. They are not allowed to do any other testing or administ...
  11. TEAS taken today. Need advice !!!

    Hello! I know of a student who took their TEAS and didn't do as well as the school would like. The student purchased the practice tests and first try improved her score a little. The second practice test, she increased her score above the score fo...
  12. "Just" an LPN

    LPN's and RN's are nurses! Be proud of your knowledge and skills. You learn from each other. LPN's and RN's can use the title of "Nurse". Unfortunately, "Nurse" has been misused by so many professionals and patients. It really ticks me off when...
  13. A doctor needs to be present to draw blood?

    I agree that there must have been an incident or a new policy in place for the LPN to have an MD on site; however, there must be an MD on site for MA's to draw labs. The ONLY thing MA's can do without DIRECT SUPERVISION (MD on site) is collect urine...
  14. Lvn/Pn vs RN

    I understand what you are saying and yes, there are many initials that come with the education; I agree there are patients who don't ask in advanced for a NP or PA; but I know many who do ask. When patients ask for a doctor or nurse, they might get...
  15. Lvn/Pn vs RN

    We don't get past initials because there are differences in the Initials! You made a true statement, most patients do not understand, but they need to learn. Physician Offices, Hospitals, other facilities need to make it clear who will be the car...
