Hello, I have a question? I am a lvn and during an interview I was informed I would be responsible for giving injections with Lidocaine in it to pediatric pts. I did not think that was in a lvns scope of practice. Does anyone out there have any info on this subject. I practice in California Thank You-Tropical bound

Thank you for replying and I am told its for security reasons.

I have a question ? Should your resume be written in the first or third person? Please inform me what is the correct form. I have recently spent a lot of money on hiring a professional to design my resume. I have not been happy with her work. She states that your resume should be written in the third person while I feel it should be written in the first person. The reply I recieved from her was that writting in the first person was old school. We also debated over placing license # on resume. I was informed by her that every resume she completed for nurses had license # on it. I recently found out through others that you should not place # on Resume.

Hello, I would not work in skilled facilities as a nurse as you are resented because you are making more money if you would work registry. I would work in homes for a registry in fact I am considering it at the moment. You have one on one care and usually pleasent working conditions. Take care-Tropical Bound

hello I am an lvn in california. I recently went to an appointment with western career college. The pre reqs alone are 19,000 the program is an additional 20 to 30 thousand your total around 40 to 50 thousand. I was not impressed with them as they refused to really answer any questions over the phone. I asked if I completed all requirements with top grades would I be excepted into their program especially since i was paying such a high price I was told absolutely not.
