   OhioMTCRN07 replied to danmcbabe's topic in Florida Nursing

   In my 2nd to last semester. The online Help Desk is a nightmare. They can't "HELP" with Turn It In, a submission that the school requires you to use. Issues with resubmissions take 24 hours so...

2. Why lvn's /lpn's should not work in labor and delivery

   OhioMTCRN07 replied to LNDBSN's topic in Ob/Gyn

   I would wonder how the state board of nursing defines the LPN's scope of practice. Whatever issues the OP has with the LPN are not the issue. In our state, LPNs handle "routine" or low risk cases. In...

   OhioMTCRN07 replied to RNcDreams's topic in First Year After Licensure

   You have to laugh at your mistakes. As you said, if the patient doesn't get hurt, it's okay. I have one of the charge nurses that "eat their young." It's been tough to deal with but the last day we...

8. Checking Placement of PEG

   OhioMTCRN07 replied to BluntForceTrauma's topic in General Nursing

15. What do nurses really think of CNAs?
