    DebanamRN replied to txspadequeenRN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I checked this out and have decided to go to Charlotte when the time comes - my brother lives about an hour away, so I've got somewhere to stay! It certainly seems worth the

  5. LPN to RN 1+1 program doesn't exist for experienced LPN's

    DebanamRN replied to Roozeyk's topic in LPN to RN

    I'm also very frustrated with this situation. My local CC suspended their bridge program. They treat any person with a clue, LPNs, EMTs, Paramedics, Multi-Techs, terribly. They won't negotiate...

  6. Needles/IV cert.....YIKES!!

    DebanamRN replied to Scrubs'09's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Yes! I couldn't imagine drawing blood. The first patient I tried to start an IV on screamed her head off and I ran out of the room (the RN was with me). I was so scared. After a couple of years in...

  9. Excelsior Textbook Question

    DebanamRN replied to newhope2009's topic in Online Distance Learning

    It's definately an excellent book. I forgot, but it's got 17 case studies in it, too. It's strictly a question and answer book, so you don't spend a lot of time reading extraneous material. It does...

  10. Excelsior Textbook Question

    DebanamRN replied to newhope2009's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I just bought the Life Span Psychology book and workbook from Amazon.com. I bought them used, and paid 9 cents! for a used copy of the book, plus s&h. I paid $2&change for the workbook, plus...

  11. Bergen Community College Nursing Program Question

    DebanamRN replied to Cinqui73's topic in New Jersey Nursing

    Don't worry. 1/2 of my LPN class failed out. In RN school, about 5 each semester. But..a lot of these people didn't realize that nusing school is hard work, and that you really have to give it your...

  12. How to prepare for LTAC

    DebanamRN replied to e.moore30's topic in General Nursing

    I just did a clinical rotation at LTAC. Brush up on your trach suctioning skills, and review tube feedings/med admin. Otherwise, your orientation will cover what you need to know. Your outfit sounds...

  13. New Jersey LPN license renewal question!!

    DebanamRN replied to mamaluke's topic in New Jersey Nursing

    I renewed my last May. The BON sent me a form, I went online, answered a few questions, paid my fees online, and they sent my new license by mail. Very painless. They will ask you if you have your...

  14. Nursing Fundamentals

    DebanamRN replied to caljoni's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Go to the library and look at books for Fundamentals of Nursing. The program will give you the book they want you to use, so I wouldn't buy anything at this point. I would practice bedmaking....

  15. Accepted to EC

    DebanamRN replied to DebanamRN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    When I was at work last night, I heard a rumor that all recent grads of the County College I was attending may lose their ADN status and be transferred to diploma nurses. Apparently, the woman who...

  16. Accepted to EC

    DebanamRN posted a topic in Online Distance Learning

    I found out last night that I'm officially accepted to EC. Yeah! Thats a pretty good Christmas present. I'm waiting on my latest transcript to arrive, but my advisor already let me know what course I...

  17. Question about EC Content Modules

    DebanamRN posted a topic in Online Distance Learning

    Hi all, :candycane:Quick question: what do the content module contain? I don't have to do #2, but still, whats in those things? Also, do you have to wait the 8wks to take the test, or can you take...

  18. Question about EC Content Modules

    DebanamRN replied to DebanamRN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    :yelclap:Caliotter3, thanks so much for the link. I'll definately use these flashcards. Lunah, you should see the size of the box I just drug in the house from Overstock.com. I keep finding nursing...

  19. Is there anything you still can't do?

    DebanamRN replied to whippoorwill's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Scummy teeth and grotty toe-nails. Anything else, but those teeth and

  20. Malpractice Insurance

    DebanamRN replied to navydad51's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I figure, if somebody wants to sue, they will sue regardless of whether or not you have insurance. As for me, personally, the $100 a year I spend on malpractice insurance thru NCO is worth every penny...

  21. Question about EC Content Modules

    DebanamRN replied to DebanamRN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Thanks for the information. I have so many nursing books, that if I don't have to buy another one, I'll be really happy. I am buried in books. My room looks like a Barnes & Noble. This is why I...

  22. How much from nursing school do you retain??

    DebanamRN replied to believeallispossible's topic in General Nursing

    This is excellent advice. One of the best nurses I know, who has been a nurse for a long time, has a folder where she keeps reference materials. I've seen her pull the folder out many times, and am...

  23. Layoffs!!!

    DebanamRN replied to mina123's topic in New Jersey Nursing

    I work at Community and we spent a week waiting for the axe to fall. Luckly, they left the LPNs in the ER alone, but we saw a lot of great people lose their jobs. I'm taking an agency job in case the...

  24. Question about EC Content Modules

    DebanamRN replied to DebanamRN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    :ornament:Thanks again, all! One of the women I was attending traditional nursing school with has all the EC modules and is willing to sell them to me, so thats a big help. I can get them all at one...

  25. Probably a dumb question: "I have to pee even though I have a catheter in!"

    DebanamRN replied to NurseyPoo7's topic in General Nursing

    We get this all the time, especially with dementia patients. I think there is pressure against the urinary spinchter that they feel. I've also been in the position, that no matter what I do, I can't...
