   NursinginProgress replied to FaithLove&Nursing's topic in Infusion

   Sounds to me, her vascular system started shutting down out of anxiety. Not the first time to hear or see that. If you notice someone is dehydrated or nervous or anxious, talk to the patient and have them relax. Works every time. I do blood draws for...

   NursinginProgress replied to RunBabyRN's topic in Infusion

   I didn't realize that there was an IVIG section here, since I live and breathe it. I started out in IVIG as an LPN in an office infusion suite setting, now I'm an IV instructor and a RN with credentials! Main things to worry are the following: Prop...

3. The Academy of Nursing (APNO) or Keiser University? HELP!!!!

   NursinginProgress replied to nursesarahs's topic in Florida

   Hey there. I received my LPN from the Academy last year. It's a fast paced program and you gotta hang in there. I am in the LPN to RN bridge program at the Academy and it's tough but there's a lot of resources. Not sure about Keiser. Good luck!

   NursinginProgress replied to CLUVRN's topic in LPN-RN

   Did the gen Ed classes. Not bad. Started the core class already, very fast paced and you have to know your P's and Q's. Good luck!

5. College Algebra ughh

   NursinginProgress replied to beckyboo1's topic in Pre-Nursing

   If you don't understand the class, textbook or teacher, google, bing or YouTube it. In today's techno world, resources are just a click or tap away. Good Luck and Happy Nursing!

6. What to do when your patient adores you?

   NursinginProgress replied to dsf43's topic in General Students

   Being nice is one thing, but exchanging numbers is borderline personal. Something to which as a student you shouldn't do. Although, your previous experience was innocent, not all stories end up that great. I knew a nurse in NC, that was very nice and...

   NursinginProgress replied to futuresctRN's topic in General Students

   NursinginProgress replied to stefonee356's topic in LPN-RN

   Theres a few reasons to be a LPN.I decided for me, to take each step at a time in case possible problems occurred. You never know what will happen to you out there and how you will survive. Plus, I want to be that nurse that knows exactly what it's l...

    NursinginProgress replied to Mrsladysoul83's topic in LPN-RN

    Well. I wanted to shoot straight out of LPN school to The RN program, but the pre-requisites were that one needed to be working as a LPN and provide a letter. Took me 6 months to find a job and 2 months to start. I graduate next year in August. I was...

    NursinginProgress replied to jaycee15's topic in LPN/LVN Students

    Well, prior to becoming a LPN and able to afford anything, I went to Walmart and purchased these tred-safe nursing shoes for 15.00. They were so comfortable and I could dance in Crisco and wouldn't slip and fall and easy to clean. Once I became a LPN...

15. What is the point of becoming a nurse?!

    NursinginProgress replied to newRN121's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Ok, I will be honest. When you are a new grad nurse, it will be difficult to find employment in large populated cities. For example, I live in West Palm Beach, fl. Sunny, beautiful and it would appear as though everybody and their mother is a nurse. ...
