  9. A nurse only 3 months and allready trouble?

    Don't worry. Tell what you know. That's all you can do. If it was not reported, then that's all you have to contribute.Does the charge nurse know anything? Or is the CNA lying about having reported...
  10. Can LPNs make assesments??

    This is more like what I am used to...Where I have worked in the past few years, or forever, I have always done assessments. BUT, I always feel like I am not good at it. I can't imagine having to have...

  15. Why do I always hear, why are you ONLY doing LPN?

    AMEN to that! I get the same thing, like an LPN is 2nd class. Like only RN's are worthwhile... In the nursing catalogs, I've noticed there are lots of things with RN on them, but not much with LPN. I...
  16. Bummed abt Nclex.

    When I took my LPN boards,I scored 1051 I think and in school I barely had the 80% to pass. I don't remember things well for tests. I passed the boards the first time. So, I bet you'll do...

    It seems where I have worked in last year, everybody is in school for something. LOL Most are going for nursing or their higher degrees. Someday, I hope to go get my RN. I certainly don't think that...
  21. What do YOU do as an LPN?

    I am surprised at some of the things you can't do. I can't push IV meds, hang blood, but I can do the rest. Hospitals must be more strict than
