    msdobson replied to msdobson's topic in California Nursing

    msdobson replied to msdobson's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Ah. This begs another question that I have been meaning to ask. What does it mean "IV push meds?" I see that terminology used frequently throughout the forum, but have no idea "what" it means...

    msdobson replied to msdobson's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    BTW. Since I have yet to use up my Stupid-Question-of-the-Day, I'll use it now, before i nod off to sleep. I recently visited the Med Savy forum. Do the meds we give as LPNs differ from those pushed...

  14. LPN/LVN Additional Certifications

    msdobson replied to antidote's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Hi Jill. That makes a great deal of sense. However, my lack of knowledge in this area is absolute. I still have yet to actually step INTO a classroom, however, I am as excited and apprehensive as a...

    msdobson replied to mspriss154's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Yeah. Well, as I've said in many posts before, in my area, if you want into a "cheap" RN program (re: CC, etc.), you either have to get on the lottery train or ride out the (often years long) waiting...

  20. Can we feed the Family?

    msdobson replied to dcnballmom's topic in General Nursing

    Suprise! :trout: Actually, I can see the points of BOTH Chuck and CRNA. 1.) The job off the administrator IS to cut costs. 2.) The facility DOES offer free meals to their employees, so if an employee...
