APBT mom LPN, RN

Depends on the program where I live. RN students are taught how to do it on a dummy arm in class. LPN students have to take a certification after graduation because it's not taught during school. When my class questioned this we were told that it was...

No, you'll have a certificate saying that you took a phlebotomy class. You have to take a IV class then you'll receive certification.

This happens here too. There's one facility in my area that has tiers on how much the procedure cost that they'll give you for free after a certain amount of years in. If the employees choose to have anything done before that they get 75% off. The de...

Just to address the PT yes they aren't suppose to have it for at least three months because that's how long it takes the fusion to heal enough to not wear the brace. It would be the same for a lami but usually no brace.

In Florida it's not a law. It's a recommendation from ACOG. They recommend what testing should be done and at what time. If you search the website the pamplets related to testing for certain things will pop up. Like the poster mentioned above. No on...

$90 in Florida for 2 years. Mine's is up in July but it stinks because I've only had it for a year. It would have been nice if they would have pro rated it.

Check with your instructor if you are allowed to use risk for DX. Some instructors don't like them for the reason that they can apply for every patient and disease. Here is a website with the 2007-2008 NANDA approved DX. http://wps.prenhall.com/wps/...

The only position that I they can have in my area is postpartum which is rare. They usually want RN's because the OB classes they have are more in depth than the LPN programs. I know that we were taught very basic assessment skills and an overview of...

Have you applied to any of the positions. Sometimes the job description they post online is a template. I received two jobs without meeting the requirements becuase of what I already knew and had. Another thing you could try is applying for postpartu...

Not only does the school require you to have a diploma or GED (Florida doesn't issue GED's anymore, you take the test and receive a diploma) some BON require you to have it also. If she doesn't want to go to school to take the GED there are places th...

Yes it's doable you'll just have to be very strict on your studying time. Just try to stay ahead with the information. In your case you'll get a few weeks off because of summer vacation. Ask the instructors if they'll give you the LAPS for the next c...

Maybe the injections are given over a period of time or like the previous poster said give it IV.

Call the BON in your state and see what they require. Some states require you to take a remediation class before taking the NCLEX again.

I don't know where you are but if it's Florida wait 24 hours after you finished the test and call the BON and ask for your license number. They'll ask you for you name, d.o.b., and ss# and they should have it. In 48 hours it posts on the BON website.

Your best bet would be to look up the Practice Act for LVN's and RN's in your state. In Florida LPN's are allowed to do assessments (not the first one), give narcs (no IV push though), give heparin (not continuous but can adjust dosage), insulin (no...

I agree check with the ER's in your area and see if they hire EMT's. The ER's in my area prefer hiring EMT's because they have a higher skill set than CNA's.

You should call the BON for your state and ask. Some states have GN wish are allowed to work before taking the NCLEX but may be allowed to perform all the skills taught in school. GN status is only allowed before taking the NCLEX the first time. If y...

South University is located on MLK in Tampa but they do have other campuses throughout Florida. I agree with this post. That's the minimum that they will accept to get in. The programs around here with out a prior LPN or RN license already are hard t...

Here's the information from the manufacturer. http://pi.lilly.com/us/zyprexa-pi.pdf It mentions reconstitution on page 33 or 34. It doesn't say why specifically in regards to sterile water but it says that mixing with something (can't remember) effe...

I was telling my husband about the reefs. I think that would be a neat thing to do with your body but I'll donate my organs first. One thing I learned after my grandmother passed was some places require you to get a permit to pour someone's ashes in...

WIA- workforce investment act. At least that's what it stands for in Florida. It's a state funded program that people can apply to and if they meet the requirements their schooling will be paid for including books and uniforms if needed. That really ...

LPN 6 mths exp Bay Area Florida First job I was making $18.00 plus $1.00 diff after 3 pm and $1.50 on weekends Med/surg and I was PRN. Two girls I went to school with were working at the same hospital. PCU $15.25 and med/surg $13.25. They were full t...

Like everyone said the answer's no. However some programs will allow a few of the classes that you take for your MA to transfer towards partial or full credit in a LVN class. So whatever school you're insterested in ask if they allow this.

I haven't done it and I've been giving IM's for 5 years. However I've only given one or two injections in the VL so maybe it's more common down there.

I know that there is a saliva test that they can use to test hormone levels. We use to do them at the OB/GYN office to test patients for menopause. The problem with the test we used were that the patients had to save their saliva throughout the day. ...
