1. Is this an acceptable practice???

   gods_gift replied to yoshana_x's topic in LPN/LVN

   Don't get yourself into any bad habits. Those cups can be confused and you can easily make med errors. You want to learn how to do it the right way first. You will learn safe shortcuts but don't use them until you know how to do it the right way firs...

2. LPN starting pay?

   gods_gift replied to dana0509's topic in LPN/LVN

   When I started as an LPN last year I started at $23/hr I live right outside of Chicago though.

3. I need advice from a nurse with a good sense of humor.

   gods_gift replied to OWWconcussion's topic in Illinois

   "An RN is a registered Nurse, If you would like you could start as an LPN which is a nurses assistant. They are at the low end of the food chain but if your willing to handle the work load then you may want to consider starting as an LPN." Kassady C,...

4. Graduated with BSN, but still not RN

   gods_gift replied to punkstar's topic in Illinois

   I would advise your friend to pick up Kaplan's book to study. I am an LPN and about to start school to be an RN in May. This much I do know, when taking the NCLEX-PN or RN it is important to know how to answer the questions. It's not necessary to kno...

6. The College Network and LPN-RN @ Indiana State

   gods_gift replied to Gamom2three's topic in Online Learning

   Also, please make sure to read the paperwork front and back because once you sign it, you are bound to it. They don't tell you everything so make sure that you read it all. And please don't believe that they guarantee you anything; especially not acc...

7. CNA as a NURSING SUPERVISOR?

   gods_gift replied to militarymom06's topic in LPN/LVN

   i personally am in a similar situation where i work. i have a cna who is the cna supervisor/staffing coordinator. she is not responsible for the lpn's or their scheduling but she thinks that she is the boss. i don't listen to her but i do get quite t...

8. LPN in Illinois...give it to us straight...is it worth it?

   gods_gift replied to CarreBarreLPN's topic in Illinois

   hi deeply. i am an lpn and i can tell you for one the biggest difference between ma's and lpn's as far as companies that want to hire them is that ma's make considerably less and that means a better bottom line for the company. they will more than li...

9. IDPR and temporary license

   gods_gift replied to KatC07's topic in Illinois

   I received my temporary license in about 2-3 wks and I'm in Illinois. I am awaiting my background clearance. I know there should be nothing there. I've only ever had a ticket and that was thrown out lol. God Bless!

10. LPN phasing out to be QMA's only

    gods_gift replied to BabyGirl00's topic in Indiana

    That ASN-MSN program sounds cool. I wish that they had an LPN-MSN program. That rocks. It's sad to hear that they treat the LPN's like that in that hospital. Personally, I would leave. I know my worth and I will be treated as such. That is just how I...

11. LPN phasing out to be QMA's only

    gods_gift replied to BabyGirl00's topic in Indiana

    you are so right. the elderly population is growing by leaps and bounds because the "baby boomers" cohort are retiring. this means more work for nurses to take on. if the rn's think that they are over-worked now, what if us lpn's all decided to go on...

13. Stopped at 85...I think i FAILED. Easy questions vs hard?

    gods_gift replied to J.M.N.'s topic in NCLEX

    i agree. i took my nclex and only had 85 questions and passed. i thought that my questions were extremely difficult after awhile and i started to get upset. my friend reminded me that when you take the nclex it is an adaptive test so if it gives you ...

14. Why is it so bad to be an LPN ????

    gods_gift replied to hair_tie's topic in LPN/LVN

    most of the people that ask "why do you want to be an lpn" i have found don't know anything about what lpn's truly do. as far as i am concerned lpn's work their butts off and save lives just like rn's. and furthermore, schooling for an lpn is gruelin...

    gods_gift replied to BabyGirl00's topic in Indiana

    Qualified Medication Aide. They pass meds like LPN's but can't do any of the clinical work like assessing and documentation. Some actually do treatments.
