thank you very much..I will start doing what you told me..Appreciate your help!!! thanks a lot;)

Hello from a new LPN: I need some tips please...I'm currently working in a rehab nursing center for about a month and I have tons of questions...sorry for my ignorance but I'm a newbie in the field, appreciate the help.. 1) Is it ok to rotate the sites (arms) to give a diabetic patient with a stroke his/her insulin shots? 2)Proper techniques to flush and give meds through a G-tube. Do I have to bend the tubing so no air can get in? or just close it everytime? 3) How to unclog a tube feeding due to the sticky formula? 4) How to organize de 2 med pass during evening shifts for 25 patients? 8 patients with accuchecks (1600 & 2000), 4 tube feedings, 7 crushed meds, plus regular meds...any tips? It seems that I can never finished on time on my shift from 2:30 pm to 10:30 pm... thanks

Thanks for the advice...I will be working with an RN on the floor and another LPN doing her patients...Frankly I want to work there so I learn skills and ask millions of questions to the experienced nurses....I am thinking taking a liability insurance to protect myself. Do you have yours? and work for at least 6 months and apply for the long LPN to BSN program, but definitely change that type of job...Let's see what happens...

I will remember that...thanks a lot..Never thought about it!!

Great advices!! Thank you very much...I will have those tips with me before I start...I feel less nervous already!!!:wink2:

I really appreciate your help...Is nothing like to have the fear of the unknown, but It is great to have people like you that "been there done that"...I will remember your tips my first day:nurse: thank you!!
