Good Luck in your choice and training. If I can be of help witrh your placements give me a shout be happy to help...if I CAN:up::up:

first off .. Well done, on your choices.. Am I right in saying that Glasgow Uni is now the name for BELL College and PaisleyUni????.. I went to Bell College which was affiliated with Strathclyde Uni at that time. I worked with Lanarkshire NHS before coming to New York.. I personally thought the style of training was good.. I was a Preceptor for the new students and i worked closely with the PEFs and lecturers .Bell college has avery good nursing campus with a skills lab .Kinda was a bit jelous of this as, when i was doing my training it was done at the old hartwood hospital grounds...big old building with a lot of old ghosts and memories... we had a blast.. As for Abertay, I am sure thats just as good good...can you not google grades for both.. also take into account where you are staying.. sorry i,m not much help.. but good luck aggy b xx

HI... Just reading your post... not been on in a couple days.. I answered in your other post........i,ll pm you with my email addy.. are you still in the uk.???? aggy b:D

Hi The role of LVN/LPN is different in a lot of ways, from our EN. As SD says it can depend on the state you are working in. Here in NY LPN's cannot start a blood transfusion, or give IV meds. They cannot do initial assessment either. Also over here, untrained staff (PCT) can do blood draws, ecg , but cant cannulate.... well, not where I work. Get that book I told you about..it has a full chapter on who can do what/or not. If anything else i,ll be happy to help. AGGY X

HI THERE, Well, I trained in lanarkshire health board... now nhs lanarkshire..... I worked in monklands... I see its on the news cos of this swine flu..... lol I worked in the ID UNIT... Did surgical hdu before that...... I started my training in 1975, but didnt sit my finals.. got married, had family ...got divorced... and then made decision to go back to nursing... so here I am.... I was a p2000 student...1995:yeah::yeah: take care ....aggb

:coollook: Oops sorry.. my bad..... hope you can get the book.....by the way, I didn't mean that you would get tested on this book, but on delegation, and priority.:bugeyes: Wishing you well... aggy b

SD, I didn't realise you sat nclex that long ago:bugeyes:.. no wonder you went to Canada.. its crazy that immigration is taking forever....but all things for a reason.. right!!!! aggy b

:specs: Hi STUDYBUDDY, Like SD, I too passed on 3rd attempt.... I,m already here living and had been working as a PCT.. (clinical support worker to us) I got loads of books given to me by other nurses, but I liked the SAUNDERS 4TH EDITION.. Also, study as if you are a student.. nclex world doesnt want you to think like what really goes on in the wards.. and you,ll be amazed what you have forgot.. well, I did anyway:bugeyes: There is also another book I liked.. LINDA LA CHARITY..ASSESSMENT, PRIORITY AND DELEGATION.. you will get asked loads of qs on this.. GOOD LUCK AGGY B:up:
