I was looking into Excelsior rn to lvn and called to speak to someone at Excelsior. The admissions counselor told me the program is going to be reviewed by the Texas State Board of nursing in 2017. Makes me wonder if I could finish there, and then if...

oops! Lvn to RN lol

The problem I have with fb is that I am friends with supervisors and peers at work, and therefore can't rant about work. Which is all this amounts to. I work in LTC where management posted the following notice to nurses. "Do not call the doctor for ...

Respect the staff, never curse at or snap my fingers at staff. Not play favorites. Apply same rules to everyone.

Hi . I would love to hear from anyone doing Prat on line lvn to adn program. Thanks, Calliesue

I live in Texas, but I took mine through Pharmerica. I called and hooked up with a class being taught at a LTC facility.

I have recently moved to Nacogdoches Texas from dfw and I am looking for a job. I am an lvn with 18 years experience rehab/ltc. Can anyone here recomend a good place to work, or maybe warn me of places to avoid? Thanks

I am looking at going to Platt college Tulsa"s lvn to rn program. I will take the net test in January. I am excited because it is a 13 month program . I feel like the move to Oklahoma for a 13 month period would be worth it to bypass waiting list an...

Hi all , I am considering a move to Tulsa this summer for school. I am wondering what lpn salaries are like out there. I am hoping to work weekend doubles at ltc or do crisis care for hospice . Do hospitals in Oklahoma hire lvns ? I am also wonde...

So our facility put up a rack of unmarked, lost and found clothes for families to come and go through before they donate them to the goodwill or someplace. The clothes have been hanging from this rack by the day room all week. I noticed that a lot o...

I have a question about roxanol. I am new to hospice and was orientating on a continuous care case. The rn who came out to do the 24 hr visit told me and the other lvn there that roxanol is only effective/ absorbed in the stomach . This is contrary t...

I am studying for Health Safety and spent all day on one chapter in unit two. It takes me a long time to get through a chapter cause I take notes and try to answer study guide "questions " while I read. I am using down loaded EC guide and FON book. ...

Your back up plan if you don't get into lpn program could be taking pre reqs that go towards your RN.

That hurts my heart. What place does someone so lacking in compassion have in nursing?? I hope some day the nurse who made that ugly comment will have an epiphany about the art of caring. Just wake up one day and go, " Oh... treat people like they m...

Okay I see now that this is an old post, but it just really pi***d me off.

I think more information is worse sometimes. It's like they think you are asking them for their opinion. No, it's a statment. I WON"T BE IN. Simple. I agree with you. When I call in I am telling you I won't be in, not asking you if it is okay. Also ...

Congratulations!

i don't know why they are conducting such a survey ....but in my opinion it is not good news for ec....do they single out other nursing programs like this...i got mine and filled it out....i would not worry about loosing ur license based on this but ...

Congratulations!

I mostly love my population of patients, and I don't hate management. I do get tired when it seems like every week there is some new and all important rule to be followed . Repetitive redundant paperwork also bums me out.

CFitzRN One of the things I love about living in the United States is that I as well as you, both have a right to our own opinions and voice.I am a little saddened that your tone is so hostile. It seems a little over the top, but again that is your r...

What about going thru excelsior? See how many credits they will give you. If you have completed half an rn program they will accept you. You would have to take test for nursing classes. but you could probably pass them pretty easily right out of scho...

Uligonzalez My fear of health care reform in our country is that it won't go far enough to help everyone as socialized medicine would. It seems like penalizing people for not having health care is counter- productive. If you are already having tro...

noc4senuf, I have to give you credit then. In most of my LTC experience if management is on my hall it is to do rounds,not answer lights.(unless state is in the building) Sad to say that only once can I recall a nurse manager actually helping on the...

Congratulations!:):):)
