  1. Switched to LVN from the Business World and am UNDERWHELMED!

    londonflo replied to Guest1188630's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Course schedules are not made up semesters or years in advance. And yes, before you, faculty looked at these. I guess I am going to say what I believe from your post "You are not a genuine...

  2. Bad Clinical Instructor

    londonflo replied to delrionurse's topic in General Students

    Don't you think your clinical instructor felt the same way? I did. At one hospital I could check their meds after they took them out of the patient's med drawer into putting them a cup. Later when I...

  3. Bad Clinical Instructor

    londonflo replied to delrionurse's topic in General Students

    What does it have to do with you?? Hopes, career plans? future? Knowledge, skills, and attitude of the nurse? How do you acquire these in your view? Are you attending a "for-profit"? If so the $...

  5. Clinical Rotation In COVID Unit

    londonflo replied to Elice's topic in Disaster Preparation

    This is not true of all states. Of course, each school can set what the minimum of clinical time needs to

  6. Clinical Rotation In COVID Unit

    londonflo replied to Elice's topic in Disaster Preparation

    It varies by the state. Two states that I have taught in did not have strict hours per

  7. Our Lap Chole Story

    londonflo replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    I hope Belinda is doing okay... Glad there were some high points during her pre, intra, and post op recovery. I didn't marry until I was 43 and I feel like I should have stressed "in sickness and...

  8. Care delivered by physicians vs NP/PA at Hattiesburg clinic in Mississippi...

    londonflo replied to Ansu's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Yes, That is the basis of my whole distrust of places like Walden! The student NPs are not evaluated in terms of real time actions by an impartial educator. And their are those who pay for clinical NP...

  9. Aspen University's Nursing Program? Give me your advice.

    londonflo replied to LemonDabb's topic in School, College Programs

    Regional accreditation does a deep dive into the full curriculum of nursing students besides the nursing courses....It looks at all faculty preparedness, credentials, continuing education, financial...

  10. Aspen University's Nursing Program? Give me your advice.

    londonflo replied to LemonDabb's topic in School, College Programs

    Frankly, I do not understand why CCNE would provide their "seal of approval" to a program without regional accreditation. I have lost all respect for CCNE. Regional accreditation does a deep dig...

  11. Care delivered by physicians vs NP/PA at Hattiesburg clinic in Mississippi...

    londonflo replied to Ansu's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Frankly, I stopped going to NPs after having an experience with a Walden graduate. You would do better to have a campaign with providers having a name tag that says "I am not a graduate of an online...

  12. New Grad Feeling Hopeless

    londonflo replied to SNgirl21's topic in Health, Stress Management

    Your former supervisor does not know what you are capable of, maybe they thought well. But you can and will succeed. It is just finding the job you can flourish on. Take time to appreciate all that...

  13. Continuing Education Classes

    londonflo replied to Randomnurse3's topic in Nursing Career

    Are you going back to work or just want to renew your license? Let me know. There are many online continuing education programs available that are very good.... Here is one I have...

  14. Elmhurst Master's Entry in Nursing Practice MENP Fall 2022

    londonflo replied to gpad_02's topic in School, College Programs

    I am more familiar with the DNP meaning "Doctor of Nursing Practice" versus an MENP meaning "Master's Entry to Nursing Practice". Guess I am not up "on the latest" abbreviations. I looked up some...

  15. Elmhurst Master's Entry in Nursing Practice MENP Fall 2022

    londonflo replied to gpad_02's topic in School, College Programs

    When I first read this I thought, when did Elmhurst start a Nurse Practitioner program? I think the title is very misleading. I have never seen a program tag that touts an advanced entry program as...

  16. How do you remain polite and professional with people who don't believe in the Covid vaccine who come to your clinic wanting treatment?

    londonflo replied to Myruby's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I found this article in "The Atlantic" worth a read. It doesn't answer your question but I realized I wasn't alone in rolling my eyes at our local grocery story at those who don't wear masks...etc....

  17. Victory College of Nursing - Fort Lauderdale LPN to RN

    londonflo replied to Tray's topic in School, College Programs

    An ADN is usually granted after 60 credits of study. The school in question is getting tuition and your work for another

  18. Interpret This Order For Me Please

    londonflo replied to guest1143647's topic in General Nursing

    I agree.. Then what is our

  19. Interpret This Order For Me Please

    londonflo replied to guest1143647's topic in General Nursing

    Where did I say this? We paved the way for you and your machines. Nurses still have to rely on their knowledge base for assessment. Where the heck did I say technology is not...

  20. To my friend DaveyDo

    londonflo replied to Hoosier_RN's topic in Coffee Lounge's Lounge

    When I just read this, I sighed "ohhhh", and my husband asked me "who died?" It was that kind of sentiment. Off the subject, I grew up in Chicago and I remember standing in a long line with my...

  21. Interpret This Order For Me Please

    londonflo replied to guest1143647's topic in General Nursing

    I guess it all depends on the culture of where you live. I am in the midwest. It is not unusual to see an IV order of 1000 ml of D5 1/2 per 8 hours. We extrapolated that to be D5.45 at 125 ml/ hr...

  22. Interpret This Order For Me Please

    londonflo replied to guest1143647's topic in General Nursing

    Yes it is. 60 ml every hour for 24 hours. Uh ohh.. are you thinking I should run a 60 ml bolus every 24 hours? The brain needs glucose to operate so it needs a steady supply...not all at one time.......

  23. Interpret This Order For Me Please

    londonflo replied to guest1143647's topic in General Nursing

    Here is the order as stated by the OP I don't need to chill. No one has questioned (except you) the hourly rate. The question was the length of time the fluids should be...

  24. Interpret This Order For Me Please

    londonflo replied to guest1143647's topic in General Nursing

    It is not semantics. Who runs an IV at 2.5 ml/hr? Does that even keep the line open? 60 ml per hour is CLEARLY stated in the order. The order is 60 ml/hour. The original question was what to do...

  25. Interpret This Order For Me Please

    londonflo replied to guest1143647's topic in General Nursing

    What would you interpret this as? IV 1000ml D5 1/2 NS 60ml x 24 hours. (1440 ml) And surely a physician will come in during the next 24 hours...... How would you interpret this...
