  1. LVN to ABSN

    Lipoma replied to HSML's topic in Nursing Career

    To get an ABSN...one MUST have a previous BS/BA degree + relevant pre-reqs. From my understanding, an ASN RN will still need a BS/BA prior to an ABSN. So that means there are no LVN to ABSN or RN...

  2. IV and Blood Withdrawal?

    Lipoma replied to rabidlark's topic in Nurse Registration

    Sadly, it is being phased out in nursing school. I'm in a BSN-RN program and the only IV experience we get is flushing during our skills lab and during our clinical rotation. We were told that once we...

    Lipoma replied to jadanicole20's topic in General Students

  8. Deciding to become a nurse

    Lipoma replied to ashleyd1324's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm not great at math but so far the hardest math I've done was calculating drip rate or drip factor and it's VERY basic math. If you can cross multiple and divide you'll be fine. I'm not passionate...

    Lipoma replied to Jtraines5253's topic in General Nursing

    Lipoma replied to nurseguy22's topic in General Nursing

    I'm currently in an accelerated BSN program and one of my instructors said "nurses are the least credentialed licensed health care professional at the bedside." After I thought about it...I realized...

  14. Question on injections

    Lipoma replied to Spitfire76's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    As a MA, you are functioning in the capacity as a nurse because you are carrying out nursing interventions; nursing scope (injections, wound care, etc). That said, legally, you are not a nurse (that's...

    I'm actually agreeing with you. If you've made it this far, you can definitely survive nursing school. Just don't stress over all of the readings that are

  16. Not sure I can handle BSN School.

    Lipoma replied to guest723's topic in General Students

    Lipoma replied to driver461's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Lipoma replied to sfwant2beRN's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA
