Don't think Nursing is for me

Hospice Nurse LPN replied to justchill's topic in General Students

RN--TO LPN

Hospice Nurse LPN replied to shynurse's topic in General Nursing

Will you be allowed to practice as an LPN w/o a license? In my state, you must be licensed as an LPN to work as one. I'd check w/ BON first. How about a flu clinic? I see those ads in our local...

How competitive are CC's?

Hospice Nurse LPN replied to xInspiredx's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

Does anyone else feel like NON nursing students don't "understand?"

Hospice Nurse LPN replied to Spikey9001's topic in General Students

ROTFLMAO! The OP is right, though. Many people outside nursing just don't get the actual hours we do put in reading and re-reading stuff. I have a friend @ CC who says 80% is a B--for us it's a very...

What is your policy on discussing grades with classmates?

Hospice Nurse LPN replied to aem31's topic in General Students

Help with Major CNA Problems

Hospice Nurse LPN replied to JSBoston's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

In the LTC's around here, CNA's make MINIMUM WAGE, so they don't have the cream of the crop. When I was in LTC, I had the same problem as the OP. I'd write them up and the write-ups would disappear....

Hospice Nurse LPN replied to llaura's topic in General Nursing

Initial interventions for suspected aspiration

Hospice Nurse LPN replied to sparklie.lady's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

If your pt is on continuous feeding, the bed should ALWAYS be @ 45 degrees. I'd stop the feeding and call the doc. Assess BBS to check for potential aspiration. This pt, or any pt on continuous...
