    I'm currently going to school for LVN

    Floor_Nurse replied to eriortiz's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Summary of Requirements for Licensure as a Vocational Nurse - Board of Vocational Nursing & Psychiatric Technicians I don't quite understand your situation. The board of nursing will want to know...

    DWI offense in Texas 2017

    Floor_Nurse replied to Have Mercy's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I'm not a legal expert, but if you haven't been to court yet, then you haven't been sentenced...nor convicted. If the charge is thrown out of court then there is no conviction at all. In other words,...

    Moving to McKinney TX

    Floor_Nurse replied to Jev1327's topic in General Nursing

    I can't out-do "not-done-yet's" reply, but I can tell you that driving from, say, McKinney to downtown Dallas can take an hour if there's traffic. Arlington & Fort Worth are further. You should...

    Should I become an LPN!

    Floor_Nurse replied to LJeweliaLim's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I loved being a CNA but I'm certainly glad I made the transition to becoming a nurse. You mentioned med tech, pharm tech, and ultrasound tech. Where I work they don't hire med techs. I discourage you...

    PROBATION LICENSE

    Floor_Nurse replied to nurse-alot's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    Is this something that will be cleared up soon with the board? I'm pretty sure that the program(s) in nearby Marshll Texas will want to know when the probation period has concluded before admissions...

    Tell me why an LVN/LPN is a "real nurse"

    Floor_Nurse replied to PrettyNerd's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Don't worry about it. A CNA cannot administer meds, and cannot replace a g-tube (nor inject air/water into a g-tube. Your NURSE license gives you authorization to do things that only a licensed...

    Inexperience LVN Needs advice

    Floor_Nurse replied to donisbac1's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Have you tried with the State? Many State supported facilities are in need of LPN/LVN nurses, regardless of nurse experience. The benefits are pretty good

    Floor_Nurse replied to AngelKissed857's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know what the standards for EMT techs are, but in nursing it has to say (systolic)/(diastolic). I once saw a nurse do a BP without a stethoscope because she left her scope in the car, but...

    Money matters

    Floor_Nurse replied to ThinkerBelleRN's topic in General Nursing

    I wouldn't call it a lavish lifestyle. Most of the nurses I know from the far east (especially Filipinos) are smart with their finances...that is, they don't waste money on non-essential things like...

    Is LVN licensure possible (or probable) for an unmedicated schizoaffective? (California)

    Floor_Nurse replied to Seagull01's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    Honestly, nursing can be kind-of hectic and fast paced, especially for LPN nurses. If being "pushed to move too quickly" is an issue then perhaps you should consider what you're getting into here. As...

    Hello I need help finding a job!

    Floor_Nurse replied to wandwaving's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    One of your other posts indicates that you were newly licensed 7 or 8 months ago. Since you don't have longevity as a nurse, I would be painfully honest about what's going on. You just need a second...

    Post Foley catheter insertion balloon deflation/reinsertion

    Floor_Nurse replied to nightshift82's topic in General Nursing

    Something doesn't sound right here! The orafice (opening) of the cath is a bit beyond the balloon so there shouldn't be any problem there. "Readjustment" sounds like it is being moved in and

    NJ NCLEX-LPN How long do I have to test?

    Floor_Nurse replied to WX2I's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Someone asked a similar question here at AllNurses https://allnurses.com/nclex-discussion-forum/nclex-application-expired-625171-page2.html It varies from state to state. I'm not sure if NJ has a cap...

    License under investigation

    Floor_Nurse replied to ColtonsGma's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I would not contact the Board (of Nursing.) Since they haven't requested any statement or response from you, then perhaps there's no investigation on their part. I would definitely prepare a...

    Discouraged nurse

    Floor_Nurse replied to GWLPN's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I have to agree with JKL33. Who cares about what other people think (except for my thoughts, of course!) I was once a CNA and went through the process of becoming a nurse. Would your employer hire a...

    Community college or technical college??

    Floor_Nurse replied to Jeannabug94's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I haven't voted yet because it depends on which pro's & con's you're weighing. You can leisurely spend 4 years of time obtaining a 2-year degree at a comm. college but I believe it's less...

    I tried to work full time as a CNA while going to nurse school full time. It was very difficult and my finances were frightfully low. I needed thos nurse study guides but couldn't afford them so I...
