    ksrnstudent replied to mifligirl's topic in General Nursing

    The GPA isn't the only thing BCC looks at. They also look at the entrance test scores as well. I know that the LPN's who came into my class had pretty high GPAs (3.6 and above from what I heard). I...

    ksrnstudent replied to jaxnRN's topic in General Nursing

    ksrnstudent replied to hisrib's topic in General Nursing

  14. Ethical question...what would you do?

    ksrnstudent replied to ksrnstudent's topic in General Nursing

    I just got back from talking to the director. She is a very sweet woman! She gave me a hug and told me that everything was fine. She read the incident report and talked to the RN on duty that night....

  15. Ethical question...what would you do?

    ksrnstudent replied to ksrnstudent's topic in General Nursing

    You are a little thick! She has done it MORE THAN ONCE! My error was a mistake; the other LPN did it intentionally. You don't simply make an error by putting your hand into a patient's drawer, taking...

    ksrnstudent replied to ksrnstudent's topic in General Nursing

    Merlyn, Thanks! You answered my question I feared most; my license. It's a relief to hear what others have been saying. I like your Sixth Right: Relax. I will remember

    jaimealmostRN, Your quote: "Obviously tylenol LPN was probably wrong but maybe she's been there for 20yrs and knows something this student does not. We have a lot to learn from our preceptors and more...

  18. Ethical question...what would you do?

    ksrnstudent replied to ksrnstudent's topic in General Nursing

    ERslave, "FYI: whoever signs for the medicines (especially narcotics), should be the one to put them in the cart." What you just said made a light go off for me. When I informed the RN that the...

  19. Ethical question...what would you do?

    ksrnstudent replied to ksrnstudent's topic in General Nursing

    earle58, The RN on second shift signed the narcotic sheet and so did the pharmacy tech who brought the meds in. I didn't, nor did another RN because we were the only two nurses working that shift. I...

  20. Ethical question...what would you do?

    ksrnstudent replied to ksrnstudent's topic in General Nursing

  24. Ethical question...what would you do?

    ksrnstudent replied to ksrnstudent's topic in General Nursing

    Our nursing manager over the unit just excepted a position with another unit, so right now we have no one in charge. What I don't understand is why this LPN wouldn't get Tylenol out of the general box...
