Practicalone LPN

I am wanting to go back and get my RN, I have been sent numerous information on getting my RN from Online schools. I am wondering if anyone has done the Distance Learning System with Excelsior, and how happy you were with it. I can not afford to q...

Thanks I'm torn! I think thru Excelsior I could get done in about a year, I just don't know what to do í ½í¸©

To answer Mr. Murse's question, NO LPN/LVN's can do almost everything an RN can do. Each state is a little different, but for the most part we can do the same patient care. I can not push meds and a few other things, but I work right along side the ...

I studied everynight for a month. Mind you this was back in 2008, but I used the Saunders Comprehensive review for the NCLEX-PN exam, along with the Kaplan study guide. It made my self do 100 questions every night before I went to bed until I compl...

I am currently a LPN and I'm considering getting my BSN. Wondering if anyone has or is working on their RN through The College Network and Indiana State Universitys online programs. I do not want to have to leave my current position to obtain my BS...

I worked as a CNA at a BC while getting my LPN. Once I got my LPN, I worked as the post delivery nurse for the moms and well babies. I loved it!!! GOOD LUCK TO YOU!!!

Yep we are real. In my nursing program, we used RN text books. And I'm proud to call myself a Nurse!

I have to say I agree with jadelpn, Donna came to you to ask you to give this med because she KNOWS her scope of practice. Why would you want to risk your license and hers for one simple error. And yes as an RN you can deligate to the staff below y...

I say BS... There are many LPN's out there that know just as much if not more than ADRN's & RN's. Hospitals around where I live did stop hiring LPN's for a while, but they soon came to realize that the LPN's were just a valuable as the RN's. Y...

I graduated back in July and then in October took a fulltime position at the Othopedic surgeons office at my hospital (I worked in OB before that). I wish that while in school that we would have learned more about the different types of orthopedic s...

Well, I graduated back in July 08 as an LPN. I took a position at a doctors office and I love it. Here is my sinerio, if I go back & get my RN, I will no longer be able to work in the area that I'm in, because they only hire LPN's in the office...

You don't have to be an LPN or RN to be a ROT. But it will help in the pay scale area. I recently went to a workshop sponsored by ASOP. I learned how to place a cast on all extremeties & I am working on getting myself registared as a ortho tec...

I worked in an clinic setting for 2months after graduating, then worked PRN at the OB/L & D department (I was a CNA in OB before graduating). Then my break came. They were going to offer me a full time position on Med-Surg (night shift), & t...

your itching is probably d/t the swelling in the extremity. The swelling should start going down soon. Good Luck

Hello all, well heres the short version, I graduated on July 12th, started working at IHS on July 14th, took the NCLEX on Aug 7th, & passed. I live one mile from the clinic and I am married to a trabal member. I love working here. I am very hap...

I'm an LPN at a Birthing center, and of course I can not do labor, but I do take care of pp and nbs, with exception of pp on MAG. In our policys it states that we can take 5 patients by ourselves and if we have any more than that, than we have to ha...

My class didn't have a choice. We started the Saunders books the very first semester and every week we had to hand in one of the quizes that were on the disks at the back of the book. I can honestly say that I hated doing them, but they really did ...

For 11months I felt the same way. I thank God for a wonderful husband, sisters and family. If it would not have been for them I would have quit the first month. Hang in there. Don't let the instructors get to you, mind your P's & Q's and you ...

Good Luck. Just make sure you print everything off and keep a assignment calendar. You will do just fine. Make sure you read your stuff and don't let the instructors get to you. They have a way of doing that. Good Luck again.

CONGRATULATIONS GOOD JOB. :yeah:I too had taken my NCLEX on a Thursday, found out my results on the following Saturday. I was working on a temporary license though. It took about 2 1/2 weeks for my official license to come in the mail. I think it ...

Not sure where you are from, but I'd go fo the NP, here they can practice on their own and PA's have to be under a doc.

I've been wearing my scrubs so much lately that my entire body went to pot. Went to put on a pair of jeans the other day and cr*p they were too tight, and I swear I hadn't put any weight on. Well maybe those few cookies from the cafateria might hav...

I worked on a temporary license for 4 weeks until I received my official license. It was well worth it for me.

Never mind. I understand. Sorry to have bothered you all.

I work in a "Birthing Center" that is located in a hospital and yes the RNs have to do all 3 areas. Granted there are RN's that are great with L&D, PP or nursery, but they all have to rotate. It sounds like you are very nervous about doing L&...
