    I have been a nurse over 3 years on a medical oncology floor as well as an acute hemodialysis unit. I will be starting in my new position as an oncology clinical trial coordinator (hospital-based) at...

  3. CHN vs. CDN

    OncologyRN23 posted a topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    Just had a couple of questions: the exam offered by the BONENT "CHN", how is it different from the exam offered by NNCC "CDN" and by difference I mean: level of difficulty between the two time needed...

  4. CHN vs. CDN

    OncologyRN23 replied to OncologyRN23's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    Your right nursedandy! I am only interested in hemodialysis certification. Have you heard of anyone taking the CHN exam? I am really looking for someone that has takent the CHN

  5. CHN vs. CDN

    Thank you nurse dandy for your reply! How was the CNN test? For some reason I am leaning more towards the BONENT "CHN" exam, but still not fully

    I'm sorry, it was not my intention to cause conflict, I was just agreeing with the previous comment. Maybe a bit too

  8. Advice on Charlotte, NC

    OncologyRN23 replied to zink333's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    For someone with their ADN already, I can tell you that there are quite a few differences between an ADN program and a diploma

  9. are there any oncology nurses??

    OncologyRN23 replied to k777's topic in General Nursing

    This is a great part of nursing to go into. If you do decide to go onto an oncology specialty unit you will start seeing alot of the same patients coming in for treatments or if they become...

  10. To Flu Shot or Not??

    OncologyRN23 replied to nurseinprogress2010's topic in General Students

    No my nursing school never required the students to receive the flu shot, they just "recommended"

  11. To Flu Shot or Not??

    OncologyRN23 replied to nurseinprogress2010's topic in General Students

    I had bells palsy in my teenage years and was always told by my family doctor to not get the flu shot due to the slim chance (25%) of a reemergence of bells palsy or possible progression to...

  13. LPN's Getting No Respect

    OncologyRN23 replied to jjrz1037's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I assure you the pay is NOT the only difference....besides how can someone who has never worked as an RN possibly know any of the differences that being an RN means compared to an

  14. LPN Petition to Take RN Boards

    OncologyRN23 replied to withasmilelpn's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    You need those "book-learning" skills to become more knowledgeable in your profession, and to know the hows and whys of what might be happening to a patient you have. Some things you just cannot...

    OncologyRN23 replied to withasmilelpn's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Well now theres a professional

  16. LPN's Role in the ICU?

    OncologyRN23 replied to Nurse-o-Matic's topic in MICU, SICU

    You could not have typed a better response!!! It bothers me greatly when I hear LPN's complaining about the things they can not do and the fact that they want to be able to do ALL the things that an...

  17. LPN Petition to Take RN Boards

    OncologyRN23 replied to withasmilelpn's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I assure you that though maybe some of the RN's you work with may seem "lazy" and are just "signing off charts", they are in fact doing their job, just like you are. I as a nurse would never sign off...

  18. Getting Back into Hospital Nursing after years in LTC

    OncologyRN23 replied to Kell Arellano's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I would strongly suggest the Med-Surg floor, because you would probably get a better and more sound base for coming back to a hospital. Good luck with any decision you

  19. LPN Petition to Take RN Boards

    OncologyRN23 replied to withasmilelpn's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Though a person may gain plenty of knowledge through experience, the LPN would still have not gone through the training and clinicals that an RN went through. Now this is not to say that LPNs are in...

  20. Why are LPNs not allowed to do more?

    OncologyRN23 replied to GaMBA's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    How funny it is for me to be talked about in this way! I've simply voiced my OPINION just like everyone else as. And as for my other postings I invite ANYONE to look at them, you don't have to agree...

  21. LPN working under an RN's license

    OncologyRN23 replied to MEL55's topic in Developmental Disabilities

    I'm sorry but if I sign off on something that an LPN has done wrong then my license is at stake! Furthermore when you are SUPERVISING someone you are also being held responsible for their actions...

  22. Why are LPNs not allowed to do more?

    OncologyRN23 replied to GaMBA's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Are you saying than an LPN should be on a commitee making decisions just for LPNs or are you saying that an LPN should be making decisions for all nursing fields? I certainly hope not, just need the...

  23. Am I wrong to think...

    OncologyRN23 replied to rmarz's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I'm wondering why you just didn't go ahead and clean the patient yourself? You've stated above that you had the time to come and "check" the pt. over and over to see if he had been changed, yet you...

  24. LPN Petition to Take RN Boards

    OncologyRN23 replied to withasmilelpn's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    That may be okay in Canada...not sure. Here it would seem like it would be a waste of time and a waste of the hospital's money (which they do not like to

  25. LPN Petition to Take RN Boards

    OncologyRN23 replied to withasmilelpn's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    What hospital do you work at that would allow LPNs to orient RN's?? This is ridiculous....if you want to be an RN....get the education..it'sthat simple! The idea that an LPN that has worked for x...
