   riquelle posted a topic in LPN/LVN

   Hi! So kind of a weird question, because obviously it’s my experience. But Im not 100% sure how to market myself. For the last two years I have worked at a home (it is a home but there are 6 clients, so would it be considered home care..?) and all cl...

   riquelle posted a topic in LPN-RN

   Hi! I’m applying to the college of the desert in palm desert, ca. On the LVN-RN bridge webpage it says a challenge exam will be required. Has anyone had to do anything like that or know kind of what it entails?

4. Got kicked out of nursing school

   riquelle replied to Maddelyn's topic in General Students

   I did an LVN program in Orange County (Stanbridge, it’s expensive but not as expensive as WCU) and two girls from my cohort came from the same position you are in. One started from the beginning with us but the other was able to skip the first semest...

5. How does physician oversight work

   riquelle posted a topic in NP

   Hi! So I’m still a while off but eventually I would like to be an NP. I live in California which is one of the more restrictive states and I’m curious how the physician oversight works? I’ve had an NP as my pcp in the past and it didn’t seem any diff...

   riquelle replied to riquelle's topic in LPN/LVN

   So is the decisión final? I’ve been in communication with the BVNPT and they said they have been in meetings and trying to work some things out and may just require an additional ventilation certification. Are the meetings and discussions over?

8. LVN scope with ventilators?

   riquelle replied to riquelle's topic in LPN/LVN

   I did email the board for clarification, they are in discussions with the Respiratory Care Board because a lot of questions have arisen. It has been over a month and they haven’t gotten back to me yet. It seems there may have been a little bit of an ...

9. LVN scope with ventilators?

   riquelle replied to riquelle's topic in LPN/LVN

   It also specifies home health as an area that an RT would have to do all vent care. That’s why it’s so confusing, it just completely goes against what I know our scope to be. And I learned trach care and vent stuff in school, state has been to our fa...

    riquelle posted a topic in LPN/LVN

    Hi guys! So I work at a small group home, kind of like a SNF but it’s just 6 patients and they all have muscular dystrophy. So everyone is on a vent. We just got some mail from the BVNPT and Respiratory Care Board clarifying the LVN scope as opposed ...
