Why not just go RN and skip LPN?

Is the patient OK?>>>>that's all i wanna know.

Hello Everyone, It has been a while since I last logged on to the site. I had been lurking around though for some advice ever since I became an RN since spring 2008. I spent one year and three months working in the telemetry floor and transferred to ...

I was 37, did one year of whatever prereqs I still needed, 2 years of nursing school, and graduated May last year at 40 years old. Been working at a medsurg telemetry unit eversince and loving it.

Brush up on math....ratio and proportion is what works for me. Study and memorize a few conversion factors...gm to mg to mcg, etc. Maybe start reading about anatomy and physiology....Cliff Notes worked really well for me. I was an older student , too...

PRN pharmacy courier sounds good too.

Our hospital do not hire LPNs anymore, RN's only. They are trying to just use the LPNs they have right now, and if they happen to quit, they will be replaced with an RN.

I had been with allnurses for the past 3 years. It has been a character building experience all through out nursing school, and Daytonite, I just want to let you know that your patience, countless assistance, and advice had been very instrumental in ...

It is very true that a lot of bilingual individuals feel inferiority complex when it comes to going out there and tackle the challenges that they do not think that they can handle. I was like that for a long time so I can understand your best friend,...

Hello everyone, NCLEX was tough. I am not really sure what to think. I am in shock and do not know if I can hold on to 48 hours of wait time to get my results. My test was a "potpourri" of everything.- prioritization, nursing process, 12 SATA, 1 med ...

Georgia BON received my application on May 22....got my ATT on May 31. I scheduled my NCLEX on June 21. I am freaking out.

I just scheduled mine on June 21. I am so nervous. I have actually been using Kaplan and Saunders throughout my last year of nursing school. Kaplan helped me a lot with the strategies and Saunders for content. These books have been very helpful for m...
