Ok, I concede! I am wrong and have proof! http://www.pabulletin.com/secure/data/vol40/40-18/773.html Looks like this was a "suggestion" of proposed guidelines to set forth but have not yet been voted on. In my defense I said I remember seeing this. T...

The answer is a def no. It is on the State Board website I remember reading it when I worked in a Hem/Onc office. As a medical assistant I was able to because I worked under the physicians license. When I became an LPN I no longer could perform th...

No problem! Ty too :)

And congrats on the job!

You could ask a professional tax preparer for advice if you don't want to pay all of the fees. Maybe they would do a free consultation?

Oh, and don't get me wrong, I don't mind busting my hump every day, work does not scare me. What I dont like is feeling used like a door mat and being made to feel ungrateful or or unappreciative because they were so "kind enough" to give me a job. ...

Honestly, I'm sad. I hate leaving at the end of my shift knowing that all I am is a pill pusher and not feeling like I did any nursing for the residents. I dont know what the residents I have are in for because I don't have time to pull all 31 char...

I could not agree more. I work on a behavior floor- psych meets dementia and so on. Two nurses 3O pts. There is screaming, Residents trying to climb out bed, elevator alarms going off. It's absolutely crazy. I feel lucky that I got 7 days on the floo...

Very sad, very sad indeed.

I could not agree more

I work LTC 3-11 LPN, 1:30

IMHO, some of us will give all we have and it will never be enough. You can't squeeze any more juice from an orange that has nothing left to give, in other words you are damned if you do and damned if you dont. Laymens terms- I am a new nurse, my ...

I def have to agree w/ OP, it's hard being a new nurse floating from floor to floor. I don't float (yet) but day 4 of orientation, I did better w/ my med pass. By better I mean instead of it taking me 3.5hrs to pass meds to 12 pts, I was able to up...

I am having the same problem. I have about 5 days left on my 8 day orientation and I feel overwhelmed and VERY stressed. It took me about 3.5 hrs to pass meds to 12 patients out of 30. The nurse training me basically just left me to do the meds cart ...

Just had my first day on orientation Monday. The preceptor was great, very nice, knew her stuff. She made me feel really comfortable. Even the supervisor was helpful. She gave me some great tips (some of which other AL users already suggested to...

Uggh, I know....I just can't wait until that happens, NOT!

It is amazing what stress does to the mind during sleep....

Thank you guys for your support!

Congratulations! You will do great, just have faith in yourself. I just started orientation today. I have two more classroom days then ten days on the floor. What kind of facility will you be working at?

I've been at a private practice (eastern PA) for about 6 years now, started at $11/ hr now making $15.50 as an MA/ phlebotomist. I will be starting a new job in about 3 weeks making $19/ hr.

Thanks for all of the support. You guys are great!!

I am soooo relieved to get the first test out of the way. Not as bad as I thought. I will however agree with the majority, it is a lot of memorization. Now on to the next one! Go me, go me:anpom:

You are awesome!

Thank you, thank you very much:cool: Now I'm preparing for AP. Have you taken that exam? If so did you find it difficult? I'm feeling like I'm just refreshing on some old stuff and this feeling of "Oh, I remember that" and "Wish I would of paid at...

You will do just fine. You passed your classess right? So, give yourself some credit, take a deep breath, and pass it like you know it because you do!
