    I wish RN schools would quit teaching the RN students LPN's can't do anything!

    tokmom replied to Wannabeeinscrubs's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    They were phasing out LPN's back in the eighties, which is why I continued on with my RN. The LPN, a I said before, has never been given enough credit for their

    Wowsa, a bit angry? You won't get respect with that attitude. For the record, I have received respect and had excellent working relationships with MD's over the years, and only had problems with a...

    Same here Flames. I went to an educational faire on the second floor. By the time I made my way back to the third floor, I had multiple emails from EVERY school at the fair EXCEPT GCU! I had to make...

    Seizing patient

    tokmom replied to Jo82's topic in Medical-Surgical

    Everyone has a limit and responds differently to the meds. Having suction and oxygen nearby is always a good idea and monitoring the vitals as best as you can. I would have pushed the drugs like the...

    studying for CMSRN exam

    tokmom replied to Nurse Lori's topic in Medical-Surgical

    AMSN is definitely worth the cost of joining. They also keep track of your CEU with a tracker. I too used the AMSN books and took a certification course paid by my facility. It's not an easy test, but...

    Med-Surgical Certification

    tokmom replied to BetterMeRN's topic in Medical-Surgical

    I don't think the latter is any less difficult, just different. A co worker who took the ANCC said there was more legality type questions, whereas the CMSRN is more clinical. This was also the opinion...

    tokmom replied to Wannabeeinscrubs's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I do believe every state is different. When I was an LPN, in the 80's (yes, I'm OLD), we did everything but blood and IV pushes. Nobody looked over me except the Charge, like she did everyone else....

    Gcu grad. I wouldn't call it a breeze, especially if you work full time and have a family. It can be a stressful juggling act, however, it's doable. It's the program rocket science? No. It's all...

    Failed CPNE 1st try

    tokmom replied to nancyerun's topic in Excelsior College

    Lovely nerves. I passed years ago, back in '89 but I know for one thing that hasn't changed is the stress. You have to keep calm. I really don't think you can prepare too much. Write and rewrite those...

    Opinion on using the word "retarded"?

    tokmom replied to abbypoo's topic in General Nursing

    As a mom of a special needs child, I do not like the word retarded. Seriously, it makes my stomach hurt. I use cognitively impaired because that implies there is something wrong with my child, but it...

    Is Washington a Good State for Nursing?

    tokmom replied to zinaptl's topic in Washington Nursing

    Seattle is a great place to work, but it is expensive to live in the city. I can't speak to obtaining a NP position, because I'm not an NP, lol. Good luck in your future studies.
