  1. Conditions in hospitals getting worse

    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.
  2. Suzanne, thank you...

    I have taken the NCLEX-RN for the 4th time, I studied 6 months and did Q&A everyday except Sunday. My heart was broken, it was too much of a big deal for me for the reasons that I got laid off from my job because of where the economy is g...

    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
  7. Good review material for NCLEX-PN?

  9. LPN Starting Salary

    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.
  10. Leaving meds at bedside in LTC

    I believe that legally you are not suppose to leave the meds out there, I may be wrong any corrections would be nice.
  11. Is this an acceptable practice???

    Just try to prioritize your patients.
  12. What *other* jobs are LVN's qualified for?

    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...
  13. how long does one stay

    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...
  14. Does LPN need malpractice insurance?

    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 innocen...
  15. failed nclex twice..losing all my confidence

    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 au...
  16. Suzanne, thank you...

    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...
  17. failed nclex twice..losing all my confidence

    Hi trauma, when you said Suzanne's plan is not available but there are other great resources, can you provide one or two that you believe would work? Thanks
  18. No respect for LVN's/LPN's

    Well with regards to your Supervisor, legally LVNs are only suppose to handle specific kind of tasks and specific kind of patients, even if you are fully equip and knowledgeable, your scope is limited as compared to RNs. It would have been a lot bett...
  19. Took the NCLEX RN on Monday, now still cant sleep

    Wow, congratulations, I believe you have passed the nclex, or if you remember the last question you had and know you answered it right, then you most likely passed
  20. 48hrs later and still no results - My nerves, aaaargh!

    Well you will just have to wait, and either way, congratulations for taking NCLEX, it takes guts, wisdom, intelligence, endurance, dedication and patience to even prepare for it. So you deserve to be congratulated, you did well.
  21. First time, NCLEX-RN, 265 questions, FAILED

    I failed the 4th time, keep your head up, I know how it feels, I studied for 6 months reading and doing Q&A. It was disappointed, if I should have come across Suzanne's Plan for Nclex-RN Exam, maybe that 6 months wouldn't have been put to waste.
  22. I Passed w/75 questions

    Good for you and congratulations, I still haven't passed it and have taken in the 4th time, and wow your result was fast. Yeah was hoping I could do Suzanne's Plan, but I think she already stopped doing it. If I knew I should have taken her plan befo...

    I used Kaplan, not just the book but did went to their review class, I didn't pass, is it really with the class or is it the way a person study?
