So with this nurse to patient ratio issues, where do we report this, who do we go to? I don't have that much exp as an RN but I can see that it is unsafe to have a ratio of 1:8 or 1:9 patients. I experience this and I don't agree with it.

I see, thank you

Wow this is awesome

well than you very much fellow nurses you all had been helpful, now I am just trying to get Saunders book, the book by LaCharity is the one for prioritization and delegation am I correct? The Random Sticky Notes are those in Saunders book? Thanks

Well yes, I can take PN as well, but I have to submit all the requirements to them, so new live scan again, my transcripts. Thanks for the heads up.

Thanks for the tip SD, I was reading and sometimes I do not even understand what I am reading anymore. Thank You

hello hello, well i have taken nclex-rn and still haven't pass, and i think i am going to consider taking lvn instead, i have wasted a lot of time already. what is a good review material to prepare for it, majority of the questions on lvn covers which topic? my friend told me before that it mostly consist of pharmacological questions? would the review course i took for nclex-rn be enough to pass nclex-pn? thanks!!!

I think it varies with states and hospitals, my aunt works in a small hospital and makes 18/hour that was before but now she makes 24-26/hour and she's been there for 15 years.

I believe that legally you are not suppose to leave the meds out there, I may be wrong any corrections would be nice.

Just try to prioritize your patients.

Have you tried career builder? You just have to wait and you just have to compose your resume in the most appealing way. On the resume I had I indicated that I am was a RN Intern, had 6 months experience on telemetry, doing patient care, updating MAR Sheet, analyzing the EKG's of the patient and comparing it to what they had when they were admitted, I admit patients, do their care plans, and so on and so forth. I keep getting e-mails, and getting calls, but I reminded them of what is my current conditions are, but yeah, they will call, and contact you.

I was talking to one of my step brothers, he would want to transfer where his other siblings live, but where the economy is going, he told me that he would rather stay where he is working right now, because he retains seniority, unlike if he transfer he would be the first one to be laid off since he will be new to that hospital. Regardless of his experience.

I am not an LVN nor an RN yet here in the US, but I am using a company that can represent me in court, not just by means of license but on everyday life events, of course that is as long as I didn't do anything wrong. A lot of people that are innocent but needs a lawyer and can't provide one do plea guilty because they can't afford one, you might say that there are free lawyers, but that's if you qualify, and since you are a LVN you don't qualify for a free lawyer because of your income. If you need more info I can send it to you, you can contact me via [email protected].

I actually heard from a guy back at my old work that Arnold the Gov gave a free review, ahhhhh, and I missed that as well, they've conducted 2007. You passed right, do you mind helping me out on what you did with Saunder's? It's actually crazy, my aunt told me to just keep answering questions, and that I did, I answer 75 questions a day then read the rationale, then I moved to 100 questions a day, and on my final 2 weeks I answer 200+ questions a day and then read their rationales, and it took me 6-8 hours a day for my last 2 weeks before the exam date.

yes i am an rn from another country, i actually am aware of the financial help to help me take nclex again, but what i wanted is a good plan to taking it. i have taken it the 4th time and none of the strategies that i applied worked. first it says on kaplan is not to over analyze, all that you needed is in front of you,but when i took it, it's something different. -- like a patient with an open tibia fracture, it did not say in there that the pt. is bleeding, so should i assume the pt is bleeding? --or the one that had been in a car accident, and then the pt is heaving headache and nausea, should i assume that the pt have an increase icp? so really that confuses me., i tried many strategies, and it didn't work. was hoping to get suzanne's plan but is not available anymore, and no one would want to share it because one of the moderator said that it's suzanne's intellectual rights, and i totally respect that. even if i don't have it, i believe that it is some kind of a legacy that she left, great legacy that really did help a bunch of people pass their nclex. i was just hoping that there are other rns out there that also have a good heart that would also do what suzanne did for the community here in allnurses but most especially for the family of the new rn she have helped, she just help someone to change their lives. so if there would be someone out there that have a good heart, willing to help out, have a plan similar to or better than suzanne's plan and would like to share it please send me a message. oh i can't afford review classes online so yeah if it's like that of suzanne that you need the saunder's and then from there giving out tips and some tutorials. if need be you can contact me
