God Bless Home Health Nurses...and all other nurses as well. I wish home health nurses could have a scribe....would make the job so much nicer If we could just go in the home and do the nurse stuff and leave the monotonous charting up to someone el...

Are there units that still have one to one nurse/patient ratios, or have they long gone to the wayside?

Any suggestions for where you think the best LPN to RN Fast Track, Bridge or Accelerated programs are located? Thanks, Good Day to All !

Hi, Would like to hear from any LPN's that are going through the Excelsior College ASN Program....especially anyone that's been out of LPN school for a few years and having to get back in the study habits on their own

All I can say is, if you are an LPN/LVN for more than 5 years, then there is no such thing as an LPN-RN one year bridge program, and I wish the programs would just say that up front when they are advertising and talking about their programs. "Oh you...

I'm 47 and I bike 15-20 miles a day first thing in the mornings. I think it helps clear my head for the rest of the day and gives me energy. I think proper diet and rest are key elements as well. I'm not a big vitamin person, but I don't think the...

After 20 years of experience as an LPN in a various number of areas/specialties...here in MO, the pay is around 10-13 in clinics, 15-17 in Home Health, 12-18 in Hospitals (plus shift diff, and 15-25% + option). Temp agencies might pay more. In Phoen...

I'm not so sure I believe all the hype about there being a nursing shortage or the medical field is going to see a shortage of a bazillion qualified nurses over the next 5 years and on and on and on..........if this were really true, why wouldn't the...

3 years ago when I lived in Phoenix, AZ there were some LPN's making 43/hr. They were working weekend/night shift/high risk areas through an agency. It was probably without any bennies. Where I currently work, you can opt out of all the bennies f...

I've been an LPN for 26 years...here is my advice to you...if you have the time and the means...just do the RN and be done...that way say 5-10 years down the road...you burn out on hospice...there will be many more doors of opportunity open to you, a...

Any of you RN's out there used to be an LPN for several years? Did you find that when you became an RN that your LPN experience was taken into consideration when you went to job interviews and got jobs? Or is becoming an RN like starting over becau...

Is there a special certification that LPN's can take to be able to push IV meds?

Any Green Bay area residents out there? Wanted to know what the employment outlook for LPN's is in the area? Are LPN's accepted in the medical facilities, or are they mostly RN based facilities? And what is the expected salary range for LPN's in th...

I know this has been ask before, but just wondering if anyone has any new information on it. I've seen companies that advertise...and then when you go to their web site....it seems to be all geared toward RN's. Wish they would remember and utilize ...

Cox Hospital in Springfield, MO. has a program, it doesn't pay for your whole schooling but it helps a little, and you work for them in return. Also check out the Missouri Forgiveness Loan Program, you can get some info from the state board of nursi...

Well, I went to Nursing School a loonnnggg time ago, and I'm sure with the ever increasing changes in the profession, the classroom is showing no less mercy than it did back then. Soooo....make sure you have plenty of highlighters, pens, paper and p...

After you complete all your courses and pass the CPNE, but have not yet taken state board exam, are you considered a GN and can practice as one until you take the exam and find out if you pass or not? Nurses from traditional RN programs are allowed ...

OK, now.....why, would you give up a 75,000 a year job to become an LPN?

Hi, Anyone finished and passed the American Lit and English Comp exams for the EC program (ASN)? What is your opinion on complexity of it? I fear these classes........ :chuckle

All of my ASN Academic Plan was printed out by the Distance Learning Systems Indiana, Inc. They have sent me all of my study guides, books, and CD's. So they just told me what credits I had and what I needed and sent me the list of courses I had to...
