  1. failed nclex lvn

    Sorry to hear that, hoahong. Try Suzanne's Plan. https://allnurses.com/forums/f197/ It's the sticky at the top of the page titled, "Suzanne's First Tip." Best of luck to you.
  2. Any LVN to RN Progams in the Lone Star State?

    I send you my thanks, Eric. You're a RockStar. Regards,
  3. The Badge of Honor I referred to was their ability to speak English. You either have poor comprehension skills or you're playing dumb. Okaaaaay... maybe you are playing dumb. Can you at least point...
  4. Because taxpayers like me don't want to PAY for it. It's a simple as that. I don't see why you cannot grasp this simple fact. If these people can come into the country through the proper channels,...
  5. What you mean to say is that you have no answer, so diversion tactics are the best you can do. The "number" I "threw at you" was in response to your question(s) in post 21 of the effect a mass...
  6. Then do try to keep up. I noticed in your response that you clipped out what you wanted and snipped the rest. Nice. YOU said: (snipped) usually don't learn the native language, or "learn just enough...
  7. I answered your questions already. The best you can do is claim my argument is weak because of the "quotation?" With a GPD of some $13 TRILLION dollars (2007; U.S. Dept. of Statistics), I find it...
  8. Then you don't know much about the history of mass immigration in America. Most immigrants who "came off the boat" at Ellis Island spoke NO English, (or as you put it, "just enough to get around.")...
  9. Once again (this is simply too easy) you are COMPLETELY misinformed, or you get your information from television. In order to PAY TAXES, the illegal immigrant would need a SSN or Green Card. Workers...
  10. Which, of course, has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with the topic at hand. Animosity between one group and another can be laid at the feet of religions, sports fans, political groups, etc. The TOPIC is...
  11. Probably about 0.0001%. However, I know many people (and groups) who would gladly volunteer to do it for free. Myself included. In what sense? Those that exploit illegal immigrants for cheap...
  12. If I recall my history well, NONE of the groups you mentioned refused to learn the English Language or assimilate as AMERICANS, not hyphenated Americans. Neither did the demand that America change to...
  13. Are LPN's being phased out in hospital setting??

    Not for long. Everyone in Cali will follow Kaiser's and Mercy's lead. Both of these hospitals have already let their LVN staffs go. Regards, Michael Sacramento,
  14. Since
  15. A'S or LPN certificate?

    Thanks for the input, Jules. And yes, I did. Having never been through an ADN program, I simply lumped it together with a BSN degree (which I shouldn't have.) That said, we are speaking of someone...
  16. A'S or LPN certificate?

    CM, While I agree in principle with your statement, I believe your friend to be one of a small minority who are able to do this. My experience is that students with ESL are behind the eight ball...
  17. Medical assistants and LPNs

    Wow. I'm stunned. As I said before (in a previous posting), I worked as a CNA in California for almost a decade, and no one EVER allowed me to inject any patient with anything. I'm jealous. Regards,...
  18. Medical assistants and LPNs

    Well said, my friend. Please note that none of us here besmirch your knowledge nor what your state allows within its borders. I do truly believe that ALL states should come together an decide, once...
  19. discouraged LPN in LTC

    Having been a CNA for almost a decade, I have to agree with gerinursetara. We used to try to "make ourselves invisible" whenever the LVN/RN was close by so that we wouldn't get any extra work (and who...
  20. 1. No sleep. 2. No social life. 3. No sleep. 4. Study hard. 5. Study harder. 6. Study hardest. 7. No sleep. 8. Make it #1 over all else. 9. Live it, breathe it, be it. 10. No
  21. Medical assistants and LPNs

    As I am in California, I cannot dispute this. Nevertheless, you are not a nurse, nor do you have the breadth of knowledge OR skills to be able to equate yourself to one. You will note that your...
  22. A'S or LPN certificate?

    No one will be able to tell if the program will be hard for you or not. This is one of the drawbacks of only knowing each other through the words we type upon the screen. We have no way of knowing...
  23. Medical assistants and LPNs

    I'm shocked that physicians are okay with this, myself. I'd love to get a doc's opinion of this one (where is TiredMD when you need him!) I have a feeling that they just can't be bothered to weigh...
  24. Medical assistants and LPNs

    Then, according to your state's (Alaska) OWN rules, you are breaking the law. Just my , here. But SHOULD you kill a patient, or disable them for life, etc., administering narcotics without a license,...
  25. RPN/LPN/RNA all the same???

    Oddly enough, the same thing was said in America in the 1980's about "Nursing in the 21st Century." In the end, however, it didn't quite turn out the way they predicted. Regards,
