  3. I hate being a nurse

    agldragonRN replied to okthen's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    i'm sorry you feel this way op. i understand how being chronically understaffed makes everything difficult. i'm sure you don't talk to the family like that and you just wished some family should take...

  4. Thinking of becoming LPN, scared

    agldragonRN replied to EphemeralMelody's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    hi paige! sounds like you really want to be a nurse. you should follow your heart. focus with finding a good lpn program first and think less of the "ifs" for now. hopefully, your lpn school would...

  5. Any Online LPN Programs?

    agldragonRN replied to NursingFloridaMan's topic in Online Distance Learning

    i don't think there is such a thing for lpn program as you actually need the hands on clinical. there maybe some hybrid lpn programs where you take the classroom classes "online" then go somewhere for...

  6. Excelsior College Question (newbie)

    agldragonRN replied to nursenora1's topic in Online Distance Learning

    i think so. they used to just automatically waive it for you if you hold an lpn license. that was the case when i started in 2009. that is why you should do it now as they make changes all the time...

  7. What was the first thread you posted on allnurses?

    agldragonRN replied to madwife2002's topic in General Nursing

    interesting question. hmm...i was an lpn student at the time so i was probably asking about my problem with one of the students. you're going to make me look

  8. Anything wrong with this order?

    agldragonRN replied to smartnurse1982's topic in General Nursing

    still a bad order. daily means once a day and should not be divided. the md should clarify the frequency. does he want it bid, tid, or qid? i would still call the md and get it

  9. Anything wrong with this order?

    agldragonRN replied to smartnurse1982's topic in General Nursing

    i don't like that order. it is written poorly. it can create confusion. what's up with the daily then 10am and 6pm? daily means once a day. it should be written as lactobacillus 1 packet po (or gtube)...

  10. How do you delete your own reply to a post?

    agldragonRN replied to RxOnly's topic in General Nursing

    no, you have to ask one of the mods/staff if they can delete that post. you can do so by going to that particular post and click the little triangle with the word "report" on the left lower corner....

  11. Calling EMS to pronounce

    agldragonRN replied to fallinnstyle's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    yup. this is so much better. everybody can sign it electronically (your license # pre-filled already) including the rn, md, me, and the funeral director. new jersey just implemented this electronic...

  12. LVN teacher teaching with non-sterile syringes

    agldragonRN replied to Nalencars's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    i'm glad you understand. i know it is frustrating. i had one teacher in the beginning of my lpn class like that too. all she did was read from the book verbatim (word for word). i did not listen to...

  13. LVN teacher teaching with non-sterile syringes

    agldragonRN replied to Nalencars's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    i had a classmate like you who always argued with the teacher then during clinical left the bed (with patient) on the highest position and walked few steps to the sink. she failed that semester for...

  14. LPN employment in NJ?

    agldragonRN replied to ruesq's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    they usually mean experienced rns when they say "nursing shortage". they don't hire lpns in nj hospitals. i am from central new jersey and i cannot even get a hospital job as an rn with adn. yes...

  15. LVN teacher teaching with non-sterile syringes

    agldragonRN replied to Nalencars's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    i don't see a problem with reusing needles in oranges. you are just practicing. as long as you know you will not do this on a real patient, then it's fine. i had the same experience in my lpn program....

    agldragonRN replied to Cuddleswithpuddles's topic in LPN to RN

  19. "I just can't help you..."

    agldragonRN replied to BrazoriaLVN's topic in General Nursing

    i feel you. sometimes there is nothing else we can do. i just chart patient's behavior and quote him/her to protect myself and of course inform md. even if he said "you didn't give me my percocet". i...

  20. I'm back....I think?!?

    agldragonRN replied to savagetrojan's topic in Online Distance Learning

    don't worry man. i'm sure you'll pass ls3 the second time around. i also failed ls3 and it took me more than 3 months to recover. but once you get the ball rolling again, you'll be done in no time....

    agldragonRN replied to fallinnstyle's topic in Geriatric, LTC
