I have found out that they are COE accredited. What I can't find out is what does that mean as far as transferring an RN license to other states? I was looking at going here for my LPN-RN bridge, but I don't want to be limited to the point that I can...

I've just advised someone not to buy the breast cancer edition Littmann because once something gets on it (pen) it doesn't come off. I've had it now for over 6 years and various substances have stained it all over. I've tried different agents... alco...

Those are very neat, but we are not allowed to use them, as they can't be as easily cleaned as the tubing.

I haven't but I will! I'm on day 6 of a 12 day stretch and the thought of going into Wal-mart makes me want to cry at this time.

It could be an agency rule. I was doing both for a while before I was told it wasn't allowed. Could you link me some info on Medicare regulations for home health care? I've been told so many different things from time to time that I'd like to read it...

Only LPN opportunities in my area are MD office, nursing home, and home health. (Florida) I've worked all three in order, 14.00... 21.25 (nights)...20.75

I'm going to attempt to answer some of that. No matter how many college classes you have taken you still need to take one of the programs, lpn-rn-bsn. With an LPN, you need pre-reqs to bridge to RN, then you can bridge to BSN. Even though you have a ...

If I remember you said it was your first job? I know my first job SUCKED but that's why it was the first. No one wanted to hire a nurse with no experience. I sucked it up, did my year, then found a job that I thought I would like better. Sometimes it...

In our ALF's in F.L. the LPN's do not do any nursing care that is unrelated to the meds, like wound care, iv's, pt/inrs, etc. That's why the HH nurses are in. Here, it varies on the contracts the ALF's have with the patients. Most are medication only...

Did you ever have problems keeping the jobs separate? According to our agency both jobs can not be performed in the same day. I used to shower a lady in the AM then give her PM insulin, but they said that was against "Medicare" rules. I guess it coul...

Yes, I have been exploring other options I'm just one of those people who get comfortable in a place and don't leave even though I know I should. I always think, it COULD be worse... I at least have a job.

Ha, nice to know i'm not the only one. Do all of the lighter colors do this? I was hoping I wasn't the only "slob" haha.

I will give it a shot, thanks! Who would have thought, juggling balls! Love the Owl!

I am so glad this topic came up in the email. I am the lone LPN at the HHA. We have at this time ONE staff RN and ONE LPN doing visits. They can't seem to keep anyone. The two of us have been there over three years, besides us, they can keep a nurse ...

Let me add in, I wouldn't recommend the breast cancer edition, or likely any other light colored tubing. My pink is now a dingy bluish/blackish/pinkish color and I haven't found a way to clean it. My pens, nursing bag, and scrubs have all worn off on...

Awesome, very glad to have helped! I also noticed some of the websites offer engraving... I don't remember this when I bought my first one 7 years ago. I would definitely pay the extra few dollars and get it engraved, or take it to a place that can d...

I use the Littman Master Classic 2. (I believe) It is a solid silver head with no smaller bell. I've had three different Littmans and loved every one of them. I hear the best out of the master classic 2, but it can be heavy and gives me a neck ache i...

Either of you two above me, could you please send me a PM? I'd love more info on how its going for you.

Could you tell me about how often you go in for the exams? Also, are they at a set time, or taken in a testing unit so you can do it at any time? Thanks so much!

I am also looking for some more information on this program. If anyone is currently doing it or has done it recently I would love a PM! I am far from campus (about 2 hours) but i'm thinking about applying for this one, and really need information on ...

No such luck. I have looked into other school which are no where near the Jax area.

How funny, I have no recollection of posting this... 8 years ago! I have been an LPN for 6 years and have returned to this board for tips on the LPN to RN programs in the area. Turns out I love home health but I am still itching to get into the mothe...

Hi everyone! After having a beautiful girl on Jan 3rd I decided that I needed to finally pick my future career and stick with it! Well, in my l&d experience there was a horrible nurse, and a really great one! It made me sooo overjoyed every time ...

So, the applications have been turned it and the letters have been sent, the two people that I know were not accepted. Anyone out there get accepted?

Anyone else having a really hard time getting any help from the school? I was trying to find out the times/days of this class and i'm getting no where fast.
