I was wondering if anyone knows or have taken a vent & trach cert class in socal. I am trying to look for one but can't seem to bump into one. I am a new-grad LVN trying to get vent&trach certified so I can work for patients in home care. TIA

i just started orienting for a full time 7-3 charge nurse. the charge nurse that was there before got transferred to another facility for a reason i do not know. what i have heard is that they love that nurse and she didn't want to leave. so now it s...

like 2 weeks ago, i saw my patient's chest for the first time when i was gonna give him his heparin shot on the abdomen. i noticed red dots that looked like petechiae to me. i asked the patient if he always had those red things and he said no. then i...

i finally talked to the doctor about it today and he didn't yell at me! he just told me to have his PA to check on it when he comes over. im so glad this is over. next time il kno what to do. thanks guys!

yea, i was thinking of getting donuts as soon as i get my paycheck. i do appreciate all their help and you guys are right, it gets better. now i only have that nurse that was mean to me to deal with, and most of the time i just ignore her because the...

hi. i am sorry to hear that everyone's still having a hard time looking for a job. i too am trying to do rn school. i hate being an lvn. i have a job but its not very nice. 47 patients to take care of. how in the world can i "take care" of 47 patient...

wow. you only have 23 patients. currently, im an orientee for a station that has 47 patients. most of the nurses can finish the med pass in 2.5 hrs. i think it will take me 4. or more. im scared too. i guess we all are when we are starting. i hope we...

i would like to help them but i dont think they need help most of the time. they only have 6 patients to take care of. i dont see them busy at all. most of the time they are just hangin out in an empty room, they would close the door and just talk. i...

thanks lunden for your reply. i am a witchy person myself, that's why i didn't want to start anything with anybody. the thing is when i open my mouth, i usually say things in a mean way. i don't know how to tell them what's up without starting any di...

im a new grad too, i got licensed the last week of April and just started with my first job the other day. Like everyone else, i got discouraged too and was even getting depressed because I graduated top of my class and everyone was expecting me to g...

You made me feel more ready to take the leap. Thanks a lot.

They do offer orientation but I fell more comfortable getting formal education. I think the Staffing Agent told me a place in Pasadena that had classes every 2nd week of the month or something like that for $15. I wouldn't mind taking that, but if yo...

I know, but we didn't really focused that much on those subjects, nor did we get enough hands on training. I heard someone from the Home Health Agency that I went to just got her Vent&Trach Care Cert, that's why I want to get one too if I can. Oh...

thanks for the reply karmarene, i just got home from wcu right now. ur right, it was basic stuff & i did read the reviewr, tho i think i wouldve been able to do it without reading the reviewer. to anyone who's starting on june.. which campus are...

for those who have taken the hesi for ADN, was the a&p part hard? im kinda lazy to study right now and im scheduled for the test tomorrow. any advice? TIA

dmcdaniels: do you usually walk in to turn in your application or you just email/fill up application online? i learned that it is better to walk in, ask them if they are hiring, it's either a yes or a no, but you can always ask if you can fill up an ...

hi. you can check GCC (glendale community college), Garfield Campus, or search for LAOC (LA Occupational something), there's one in washington/western. You can also check Country Villa, I checked their website and saw something about free NA training...

hi, im a newgrad, newly licensed, and jobless LVN. im getting hopeless. nursing school for me was not so hard. it was ok, you just need to put effort in it. and i did put a lot of effort so it wasn't so hard for me. the nclex, i believe was really h...
