  1. IM injections

    allie136 posted a topic in General Nursing
    I'm an LPN with one year of experience in a LTC facility. After reading some discussions by other nurses, I'm a little confused with the proper way to administer an IM. I learned from nursing school to hold the skin taut (no pinching up), and to aspirate. I've read on here that several seasoned nurses are pinching up the skin. Also, I've noticed it when I went to get my flu vaccination. I'm very confused now because the books tell you to hold skin taut for an IM, pinch up the skin for a sub q injection.

  2. Is LVN/LPN really harder than RN?

    allie136 replied to Brandi8's topic in LPN to RN
    I'm currently in the LPN program and it is hard. What makes it hard is the fact that you have so much info to learn in so little time. We completed our Nutrition class in less than 2 weeks! I know what you mean about studying, I have a 2yr old also. if it wasn't for my mom keeping her, I wouldn't be able to study! Hope i helped and good luck.
