you would chart it like you would any progress note, just describe the events and interventions. Also, patient doesn't have to be a diabetic to check his or her sugar, checking the sugar can just be done as a baseline, like vital signs.

In our facility we have 4/5 patients on tele and usually 5/6 maybe 7 on med surge depending on the census and staffing. yes, we would cover the Lvn if need be.

Hello I currently work per diem at a acute care hospital in California that utilizes LVN's on the Tele and medsurge floor and also in the ED. In my hospital in my opinion it works out great working with them on the floor, they are knowledgeable, helpful, and know their scope of practice. They help out with patient care, do all the accuchecks, can start IV's, and assist with discharging patients which is a huge plus in my hospital. It's the little things that make a huge difference. I say bring them back at a fair pay, one of the biggest problems is they try to lowball the LVN's a bit too much, and it's insulting. Some hospitals I have heard would actually pay CNA's more than a LVN.

I agree, I am so tired of nurses and non nurses negativity about Lvn's/Lpn's not being real nurses.

bills, bills, uniforms, groceries, and bills

For me I want to have better job opportunities and of course be able to advance in my field of choice so I am currently in a rn program!!! And nursing is my dream

that depends on what pre reqs you have done if you meet all the requirements then yes but if not you have to do the two years

yes the meetings are held in aug/feb on tues, thurs. tues @4 and thurs @100pm i just went yesterday.

hi yes i went to a info session yesterday and what i can tell you is that the school is accredited but there classes are only transferable to other private universities basically, like university of phoenix. anyways the program is $57,000 and it will be less if you are an LVN. you can transfer in classes from community college which will bring tuition down even more, like me i am LVN so my price will be less and time in program will be 4 months less because of the lvn. they have lvn program too but i dont know cost.

hi i was wondering how long is the lvn to rn program? i did attend a seesion for information back in aug but all my paper work got lost, i know program is about 57, 000. thanks, i just can not remember how long if you have lvn, i know they said my cost would be much less because i have majority of pre reqs and general ed done

I have heard of residents getting alcohol because this is suppose to be treated as if they were home but I do not know how legal or how it will effect license

try home health you can usually get hired if u had license for 1 year, also flu clinics are about to start soon. i went through same thing

hi to the person in california looking for vent class there is one in carson through life care solutions that i found just recently about 3 months ago for about 45 dollars, good luck they are hard to find.

dont know if you are a seasoned nurse or a new grad, but if was a new grad i will choose subacute for the experience, but it depends what you want.

hi i dont think it would matter, if you want to do generic it should not be a problem i have a family member who tried the transitional program from lvn to rn did not work out for her and she just got accepted into the generic program.

Me myself im doing it for personal reasons because i want to further educate myself, also because i want more job oppurtunities and hopefully be able to work closer to home because right know i am an hour away from home. i am working on my last pre req now and hopefully i can get into a program soon!!!

hi congrats on your job, it is unfortuante they wont pay you for training but hang in there to gain any experience that you can gain to add to your resume. as long as you are not putting your license at risk that would be my choice. I to am a california LVN and let me tell you the market is rough, and it took me awhile to find a job and that would be in home health also. but as a previous poster stated flu clinics will be around soon and they hire new grads all the time. hopefully more doors will open soon , but if you have too work in your other field do so because guess what it pays the bills. i actually still work my other field and nursing part time until more doors open because the other job is paying all my bills and benefiets. i would love to do nursing full time but i aint no fool either.

I just started working noc about 3 weeks ago and its hard, but whats creepy is my client father, who comes into the room at the wee wee hours and stands there without me even notice or hear him come in. i asked him not to do that because he startles me every time. it is creepy to me.

really of course the child needs should be first and foremost but what does that say about dad, dad is way out of line for getting involved with you and you are beyond the line of being professional. also how could you be un bias when involved with the dad.

home health maybe hospice, but right now jobs are hard to come by. i live in riverside county and jobs are very slim to nothing. just keep looking and further education if possible that is what i am doing, finishing up my pre reqs.

i always also aspirate but there are a lot of different opinions when it comes to IM injections, also the same when i do flu clinics some people say not needed to aspirate.

yes i believe we are allowed to a heparin flush, just a minimum amount.

Congrats, because the job market is hard here you deserve it!!!

yes that happened to me to i just started working flu clinic also. scared me cause she was so tiny and felt like i met the bone.
