  1. LPN - IV therapy class

    charebec65 posted a topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I just started an IV therapy certification course. I'll be doing my first stick on a person during the next class. Doing it on the artificial arms was okay but it's a bit nerve-wracking thinking of...

  2. Bohecker College in Ohio

    charebec65 replied to deedah72's topic in Ohio Nursing

    Can't help you there, sorry. It's a new school in the area. I would check in to its accreditation and to see if the credits will transfer if you choose to go on and get your BSN. There is one of the...

  4. LPN-RN programs-SINCLAIR!?

    charebec65 replied to tuscanhopes86's topic in Ohio Nursing

    I started the LPN-RN transition at Sinclair in January. It took me 4 semesters to get in but I had pre-reqs to finish up which I did part time while working. I would recommend that anyone do it as...

    charebec65 replied to PurifyMe's topic in Ohio Nursing

    I wouldn't take all of the message you replied to as gospel. I went throught the program at Laurel the year before this person. The instructors were wonderful and went out of their way to help if...

    charebec65 replied to LaurelStudent2007's topic in General Students

    It sounds like you had some of the same student issues that we did in my graduating class. I must agree, the program is great and the Laurel instructors are wonderful. I miss them.... wish I could...

    charebec65 replied to magster11's topic in Ohio Nursing

  9. LPN First or Straight to RN

    charebec65 replied to vpfeffer's topic in LPN to RN

    I am an LPN working on my RN (ADN). The wait list for schools around here is horrendously long and having had my LPN and another degree meant it took less time to finish pre-reqs and I got into the...

    charebec65 replied to Hoozdo's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    One of my best friends has it and has for quite a few years. He's not been one of the fortunate ones though and has had a really rough course with it. I have chronic pain for other reasons so I can...

    charebec65 replied to mcmike55's topic in Ohio Nursing

    My daughter categorically refused to put the 'student driver' sticker on the car. I didn't push it as one coudn't see it well through the window tinting anyway and my other 4 kids did just fine...

  14. What do you think of agency LPNs?

    charebec65 replied to TopazLPN's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Wow pageantnurse..... wish I had your job. I do agency and up until recently had a pretty steady, predictable schedule. Now I haven't worked in a couple of weeks. Fortunately I won't starve as my...

  15. OMG, just please kill me now!

    charebec65 replied to *Andrea*'s topic in First Year After Licensure

    I really don't have any words of advice to add as you have gotten great responses. I'm in my first year of nursing too and it can be intimidating. I do pediatric homecare and even it was ovewhelming...

    I don't know about this but when I was in the ER for a relentless migraine and severe back pain, one of the RT's, whom is also a massage therapist, gave me a migraine relieving massage. While it...

  17. Most interesting Micro-organism!!

    charebec65 replied to kcstudentnurse06's topic in General Nursing

    How about Pseudomonas aeruginosa. I just finished micro and it was one of the ones we cultured. I found it interesting in its presentation: blue coloration and the grape smell. Most of the things...

  18. Typical Orientation

    charebec65 replied to CapeCodMermaid's topic in Home Health

    I started doing pediatric HH right out of PN school. My primary patient is quite involved (GJ, trach, bipap, etc.). Mom is only a phone call away at any time if something comes up. I may not be...

  19. U.S. Citizen staying in Canada and working in Buffalo?

    charebec65 replied to NewYorkRN2B's topic in New York Nursing

    It almost sounds as if you're planning on on either living with or staying with your boyfriend quite a bit in Canada. I don't think you'll have problems crossing the border. I think your biggest...

  20. Robert Morris?

    charebec65 replied to lyndsaynicole's topic in Illinois Nursing

    Not really. All I know is that the man it was named for was a signor of the Constitution, Declaration of Independence and I believe the Articles of Confederation, one of only a couple people that...

    charebec65 replied to GingerSue's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I'd never thought of that Jolie. I'll have to start doing it! uh, not the breast milk - the frozen foods..... Considering my youngest is 16, I don't think we have any need for breast milk at my...

  23. Home Health Bags

    charebec65 replied to busyrninva's topic in Home Health

    I hope this link works but this is the one I have. It's pretty roomy and is heavy canvas. I really like it. I do HH but work with the same patient on a regular basis so I just take it back and forth...

    charebec65 replied to jill48's topic in General Nursing

    Hey Tiwi, After your later post I understood what you were saying.... Anyway, here in the states give meds but only under the direct supervision of their clinical instructor or preceptor, at least in...

  25. Is anyone else uncomfortable with this?

    charebec65 replied to jill48's topic in General Nursing

    There's something of a pilot program going on in Ohio right now with CMA's (aides instead of techs I think). From what I've been told is that if our idiot govenment in all their medical wisdom make...
