  1. Certified Medication Aide

    asoonernurse replied to DESTINED 2B NURSE's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Hey, Commuter. Never heard of this before, so I Googled it. Looks to me like they are further trying to erode the role of LVNs. If they can pay CMAs less than they do LVNs to do essentially the bulk...

  2. Should I be a Nurse??

    asoonernurse replied to ctnjason's topic in General Nursing

    Hi Jason, I'll try to give my opinion as well, from a man's perspective so-to-speak. As you already know, males generally look at things with a certain amount of logic and rationality, rather than...

  3. How are you spending your retirement?

    asoonernurse replied to Grace Oz's topic in Retired Nurses

    Oh, Trauma, Trauma, Trauma! I'll be about your age when I finally GET to my RN! :chuckle Good lord, where does that leave me? I'll be working till I'm...what...80? Best regards,

  4. lpn math

    asoonernurse replied to TLWSTNANOH's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    my favorite 1000-year old turtle is quite correct. if you are in california, you won't be worrying so much about iv, but you will cover it (it really depends on the school and instructor.)...

  5. MD RN Crossover

    asoonernurse replied to asdpjr05rn's topic in International Nursing

    Wow. That's as close as I've seen Suzanne come to losing her well-known patience. As she is my personal hero on this board, due to her intelligent and thoughtful replies and posts, and her poise and...

  6. Charlotte CNA options

    asoonernurse replied to Metropolis's topic in North Carolina Nursing

  7. Charlotte CNA options

    asoonernurse replied to Metropolis's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Wow. That's a first. Vicky is usually a wealth of information. Maybe she just hadn't had her first cup... :chuckle Good Luck,

  8. This website is a hoax

    asoonernurse replied to rph3664's topic in Pediatric

    I agree, this is terribly sad. There is, however, a CC in Palm Beach. :nuke: Best regards,

  9. Are LPN's being phased out in hospital setting??

    asoonernurse replied to fozziebear's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I have heard stories like this time and time again. There are competent and incompetent nurses in both camps; however, I believe the dividing line here is that RNs have gathered together and...

  10. I finally get to say"I'm CPNE Eligible!"

    asoonernurse replied to NC Girl BSN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Very Cool! Congratulations! Uh..what's a CPNE?

  11. Is it OK to get a gift for my preceptor?

    asoonernurse replied to rnkalee's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I got my preceptor an autographed book from her favorite author (who happens to be a friend, but I didn't tell her that!) Good Luck.

  12. I started LPN school today!

    asoonernurse replied to L&D_2b's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I'm in the final level of my LVN program. We, also, use Foundations of Nursing by Christensen (as well as Med Term by Ehrlich, Adult Nursing by Kockrow and Saunders NCLEX-PN). Best of luck to you on...

  13. Test Question bugging me

    asoonernurse replied to mike.m's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I'd say Mystic Nurse hit the nail right on the head. The question is asking for an expected outcome. 1, 3 and 4 are nursing diagnoses. Only 2 shows any kind of outcome. So, if you look at it this...

  14. Is It Too Late........?

    asoonernurse replied to Princesshawty's topic in Government, Military

    ...now that I think of it, I would have liked to have started when I was just a young whippersnapper myself...say 35! :clpty: Michael

  15. Is It Too Late........?

    asoonernurse replied to Princesshawty's topic in Government, Military

    Princess!!!!! I'm 48 years old! I graduate in September of 2008. 19...sheesh!

  16. What to do? rn program grad who never took...

    asoonernurse replied to blh0624's topic in General Nursing

    I have to agree with MJ here. First and foremost, you'll need to go to the people who will have the "final word" on matters such as this; that would be your state's BON. If they don't have any...

  17. What is a nurse tech?

    asoonernurse replied to candiceena's topic in General Nursing

    I also believe, and correct me if I'm wrong here, folks. But aren't final level RN students also called "nurse techs"? Good Luck.

  18. Are LPN's being phased out in hospital setting??

    asoonernurse replied to fozziebear's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I agree, Herring. As I stated, in an earlier posting in this same thread, most of the LVNs here in Northern California have already been phased out. Two of the big HMOs/Hospitals here (Kaiser...

  19. Writing Telephone Orders/without calling doctor

    asoonernurse replied to Nov2007_LPN's topic in General Nursing

    He doesn't even necessarily have to be in a pissy mood, either. He could throw you to the dogs with a smile on his face.

  20. Older Nursing Student 1st Timer

    asoonernurse replied to NewMexicoJohn's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Congratulations, John. I'm not sure I could travel that 100 miles each day, and I could certainly see how that might get old quickly. Have you thought about moving (even if it is only short term)...

  21. What is a nurse tech?

    asoonernurse replied to candiceena's topic in General Nursing

    Here in California, I have never heard of this position, but you might be speaking of nothing more than a fancy new name for a CNA or CMA, or even possibly an actual tech of some sort (i.e. Lab Tech,...

  22. Are LPN's being phased out in hospital setting??

    asoonernurse replied to fozziebear's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    The medical community is an interlocking set of hands, Hernando. We help each other as best we can, no matter our level of education, or the position we might hold within the hospital chain of...

  23. Why did you choose LPN instead of RN?

    asoonernurse replied to kimmyj74's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I think CP summed it up fairly well for the majority of LPN students (at least on this board.) I will try to take CP's explanation a step further... 1. Access. Today's educational environment plays...

  24. Infor On Older Students

    asoonernurse replied to asoonernurse's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    My thoughts exactly! The instigator for wanting to write this article was seeing a picture of graduates of an ASPIRE program in one of my nursing journals and noting that 95% of them were old fogies...

  25. Nclex Results:big Or Small Envelope

    asoonernurse replied to JMMJ's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I think we should tack all 473 threads on the size of the envelope into one hellish, never-ending thread.
