  1. Advice for soon-to-be RN

    I actually had a very smooth transition in the LPN to RN program. My school used to require nursing students to get their LPN before entering the RN program. Recently they began accepting "direct entry students" (students with no nursing background)....
  2. Advice for soon-to-be RN

    Hello everyone, So I'm about 5 weeks from the end of my RN nursing program. I'm going to be graduating with an ADN and already have chosen a bridge over program to further my education so a BSN. Working as an LPN, I've truly come to love being a nurs...
  3. State to State licensure

    Thank you for your reply. So does this mean that I cannot get hired in other states with my active RN license? Or does this mean that I cannot continue my education in another state?
  4. How to deal with an aggressive dementia patient

    Thank you all for your suggestions. They were very helpful. Unfortunately my efforts to use them were never successful. This patients family came to visit for a week. After they left the patient lost it a little bit. Pt. became very aggressive and ac...
  5. A smoking patient

    Thanks to all who replied. Just so you know the outcome, we actually set up a smoking schedule. And we also found out that we actually are allowed to let the patient smoke in the court yard. So, the patient no longer needs an escort.
  6. State to State licensure

    Hello everybody! So I've been working as an LPN for a year and a half now. I am also attending school to become an RN. I've got some questions and concerns about applying for a license in a different state. So before I went to LPN school, I applied...
  7. A smoking patient

    Thank you, TheCommuter, I agree that it's a nasty habit. But thank you for your reply. It was very helpful. I will have to collaborate with my colleagues to see if we can set up some kind of a schedule.

    So I work at an assisted living facility. And we recently got a new patient who smokes. Initially when she came they let her smoke in the courtyard. Eventually we found out that this is not allowed. She is an elopement risk (is very unhappy that her ...
  9. Appropriate to go to a patients funeral?

    I wasn't grieving at the bedside with the family. I sat with the wife, who is also my patient, because she was very upset and distraught and was asking questions. And her family had just stepped out. I didn't feel it was appropriate to leave her all...

  11. Leadership question

    I think it's a very legitimate question. I was thrown off by this in my first interview. But then I got on the floor and I understood why. You've got to know how to delegate, manage, support, and work together with your CNA's/RCA's/STNA's, what have ...

  14. How to deal with an aggressive dementia patient

    I agree with you Saiderap and here.i.stand, it's not safe for her. I've expressed concerns. But I think it's time to go to the next person up. Because something needs to be done, and nobody seems to be taking the nurses opinions seriously. All that's...
