Most states will hold information sessions for the programs they certify and you can gain a lot of information there on books resources and meet other instructors in your area to connect with. Call your state and see when the next one might be

There is no doubt LPN's are hard workers, skilled, and know their stuff. I was an LPN before becoming an RN and thought I did just the same job as an RN and knew the same things they did. Boy was I wrong. Once I got my RN I saw what education I was m...

So I am finishing my MN degree and am looking for a PhD program that is online and will accept out of state students as instate students for tuition rates. Has anyone found one like this? It seems slim pickings out there. Also some programs want 4+ y...

I havent looked at U of Alabama but will thanks for the tip! I looked at U of A too but I found little tuition help there and steep prices. Hope you have better luck than I!

I know you are not supposed to mix Lantus with any thing else and never do. Lately I have been wondering why as I was never taught in school yet I can not find anything online or in books that explains why it can not be done. Anyone know out there??

I have a friend that was a surg tech for 8 years before she became an RN. She loved her job, LOVED it. But she had to leave surg tech because of the wear and tear on her body. She described having to sometimes stand for 8 hours with no break holding ...

i don't live in georgia so i can't comment on the schools but i will say nursing school is very hard to get into. there are always more qualified applicants then spots available. sometime 300 plus qualified students and only 30 spots. my advice to al...

All nurses make mistakes. Any nurse who tells you they havent is lying. You are human just like the rest of us :)

The problem with this statement is that HPV can be spread even if condoms are used. Therefore, even a smart educated young women will still be at risk of HPV. Having had high rish HPV myself and not wanting to get other forms of HPV I had the vaccine...

I think once/if you go to LPN school you will see how different the education and scope of practice is. CMA are needed and provide a great service to healthcare but they are no nurse.

I call after a few weeks to check in. Often, no one picks up Job markets just flat out sucks....

I think any hair style that can be out of the way is best. I had long hair for years and finally went to a bob. I love my bob and styling it :) Best of all no pony tail needed and its never in my way. I do miss my length at times though!

As I understand CPS will no act on a complaint about a fetus. Also consider the source. Perhaps the mother has a glass of wine every few nights.... not that I would consider that okay but still....

It took me 3 years to get into nursing school and several years of preqs. I became a LPN at 24, an RN ADN at 24 (finished the program) and a RN BSN at age 25. I went to a bridge school and took as heavy a load as possible and completed my program in ...

So Ive developed this lovely condition in my heels in both feet and my left foots arch is just killing me. Ive already said good bye to my nursing shoes and will be switching to a running shoe from now on during shifts at school (we do 12's) Does any...

I was happy they touched on the fact that CRNA do not work under an MD license and show her striving for higher education. Although it was only a 10 second blurb. When it was over I thought, was that IT!!! Btw LOVE Ray was back on :) I love his chara...

OOooo Ill have a 100 grand mal seizure please :)

I had a 6 day orientation when I worked LTC as a new grad. I would reccomend it but it can be done. If you that route dont be afraid to ask for help and never do something you are unsure of or have never done. I would suggest reading your states nurs...

Care varies GREATLY based on the OB and the office philoshpy. I work in OB/GYN and our docs only deliver our patients and are very hands on. I would get upset or anything. Just dont return if you didnt like the care and dont offer him up as a possibl...

Knowing the right answer on a test doesnt mean always knowing the content but how to read a test question and figure out based on the type of languaged used what answer they are looking for. Never second guess yourself unless you have read the questi...

I loved my time with the elderly, they are a great population to work with and I really respect that generation. Wish I was still there, its not all bad!

Congrats on school! In order to get ready I say RELAX while you can Once school starts its a 24/7 job so soak up some relaxing time while you can! Once youre in school stick with it, study hard, put in all the effort cause its worth it in the end. Th...

Hmmmm perhaps a little more compasion. Remember when anyone starts a new job especially one where people lifes are in your hand, can be very stressfull and scary till one gets comfortable. new nurses need lots of support so they can become well seaso...

Its important to remember we all work as a team and none of us can do our job without the other. I find CNA Nurse and Docs all forget this at times, some places are worse then others.

I have a real hard time with the VG site, i usually avoid it and try the GM site. I find land marks are easier to find
