1. Are we set to do long-term non emergency care MOSTLY?

   Thank you! Can you please give me examples about well-trained nurses making mistakes? When you say even they can make errors, I assume that those mistakes come from something else rather than their skills, right? For the NCLEX, I bought Saunder book....

   From what you say, it seems like the malpractice is about the attitude of the nurse rather than her skills. If I study well in school and do well clinically, I should be able to know what to do with this patient, right? By the way, I'm previewing the...

   Thank you very much! When you mention malpractice insurance, how do I get it? Is it expensive to buy? By the way, since we're only LVN, and we don't do IV (unless we have certification), what kind of malpractice can we do? LVNs are not assistants, bu...

   Well, I'm taking prerequisites for LVN in Merritt College (Oakland, CA). I don't see anywhere stating that I need to be certified in CPR to be an eligible applicant. Same thing with Los Medanos college (Pittsburg, CA). However, City College of San Fr...

   In your schools, does the LVN program require students to be certified in CPR? I rarely see any vocational nursing program in a community college requires students to hold a CPR card. RN always does. Why is that? Do you think that is the reason why w...

8. Can additional certification(s) increase my chance to be hired?

   Thank you, Valerie! Can you please tell me what duties an LVN usually does if he/she is hired in a hospital? Except OR, LVNs are never useless in a hospital setting, are they?

   Thank you for your answer! Then I don't have to be concerned about phlebotomy. What about scrub skills? Do you think that I should be certified in Surgical Tech? I'm not picky where I will work. Nevertheless, I like to work in a hospital. Do you thin...

    I'm taking prerequisites for the LVN program in Merritt college in Oakland, CA. The college I'm attending, Chabot College, offers has a sister college, Las Positas college that has Surgical Technology (3 semesters in length). Ohlone college, pretty c...

11. Bashed for pursuing lpn route

    mearrepiento replied to soladylike1's topic in LPN/LVN

    Please help me understand how nurses can do the job of a respiratory therapist! Maybe they can do some, but can't be substitutes, right? I mean we have our own roles, and they have theirs. We are versatile in many aspects of patient care, but we stil...

    I'm taking Anatomy and Physiology. Hopefully, I can be accepted into LVN program in my college. I first chose Radiologic Technology then I heard many negative comments about that field, even for experienced workers. I think that Vocational Nursing is...
