1. LPN Richmond va

   nursing804 replied to Mizzyfrufru's topic in Virginia

   This is just my guess and having friends in the field, anyone may correct me if they know differently. Of course hospitals pay lower than nursing homes or private duty cases, but the private hospitals, such as Henrico Doctors or Bon Secours, I believ...

   nursing804 replied to kimmyz's topic in LPN/LVN

   VERY IMPORTANT!!!! I will tell you what i was read in the nclex 2008 book, these tests are nothing like nsg school exams. Kaplan has a great book at Books a million, though you are almost ready, you may not want it. Here are my 2 cents: I noticed t...

8. itching after cesarean section

   nursing804 replied to mani3433's topic in Ob/Gyn

   the itching usually subsides in about 2 hours, I was reassured and while it was still a terrible feeling, I knew that it would soon be over and it was. In the future, just make sure to reassure your patients. If you have never had it, it will drive y...

9. How many new nurses are seriously thinking about quiting?

   I was always told that you had to have exp before you could work in L&D. Can you really go in as a new grad w/o experience? That would be a wonderful place to start. I thought i would have to wait a few years before even applying for a job on a ...

    nursing804 replied to GardenDove's topic in General Nursing

    Forgive me, but what is LTC? I was clear on the BSC, just not the LTC. I would like to be able to advise stool softeners and be knowlegable about what may happen to these people if they strain during a BM. When I was 18, I did home care for an old ...
