Finished LPN, foward to RN

Latest Activity

  1. those daggone tricky questions!!

    I think the instructors try to put those types of questions on test's to get you to think outside of the box. Also, I am you need to think in that the question is "in a perfect world"....
  2. I'm stuck between the two....

    You need to take a NCLEX review it sounds like and maybe cut back on the hours you work. Where are you located? There are several reviews out there that you can take.
  3. Head to toe assessements and proper way to document.

    Mucous Membranes..... Do you say dry and white if some poor oral care or dehydration? You say moist and pink if they are ok. I am trying to tie this all together.
  4. gastrostomy tube

    I am a nursing student, finishing up my last quarter of ADN, ( LPN now) I have read in several different charts of one dictation saying that a J tube was inserted, and read in another dictation that a Gtube was inserted. Is there a sure fire way to...
  5. lovenox..and coumadin

    Heparin is the buster Coumadin is the preventor
  6. I am pretty confident in my head to toe assessments, however, when I find somthing is wrong, I am not sure how to document it in proper nursing terms. Example: Head is symmetrical, but dandruff noted? Eyes, scalera is white without pigmentation,...
  7. LPN to RN through testing?

    Your skills may be up to par, however, two different scopes of practice. I would be afraid to challenge the RN-NCLEX without nursing classes. As a RN you need to know your scope.
  8. LPN to RN through testing?

    My LPN clinicals were all hospital except for the first semester.
  9. Procedure, drugs and confused of my role!!

    Oh, I didnt work there, I just thought I was at work because I was in a healthcare setting. Apparently I felt I needed to clean up my work area. Versed a wonderful drug, dont remember it at all. As I am told, I preheated a oven, cooked a pizza and a...
  10. I had a EGD a couple weeks ago. Demerol and Versed were administered. I woke up with N&V ( Narcs make me sick) So, got a dose of phenergan. Apparentally in my drug induced state, I thought that I was at work. I pushed the nurses hand out of th...
  11. Need end-of-shift report sheet!

    WOW!! Did you make that up? That is so awesome. You must be very organized.
  12. I don't get the MA deal...

    I feel it would be very confusing for someone in a hospital setting to distinguish between RN, LPN, Tech... In the hospitals in my region, they are having the RN's wear a RED badge a little longer in length than the photo ID, it says RN. A patients ...
  13. I can not remember if it is heparin or lovenox, but they are now coming in premeasured syringes with a air bubble, the air bubble in the syringe act's almost like a Z track method. It is not supposed to be pushed out, and the bubble helps with the co...
  14. Well, that is scary! No scope of practice. I didnt think that anyone could practice under anyone's licensure... Hmmm good research project.
  15. How do you stop bad habits?

    I have also heard of baroreceptor therapy. Instructors at my school said that they heard of it and from what they heard is you have the therapy and the habit is gone. I wonder if it is worth a try.
