What in the world? Library books? Ahhh the library is one of my favorite places to go! I didn't know about that

So I was talking to some one about back pain and inflammation. I told them ..if it gets bad enough you might ask your doctor about a Cortisone shot...she replied "no no, I am pretty sure I need a steroid shot" LOL. And I was talking to the same perso...

Thanks for the opinions everyone. I will just be honest and tell them that I am pregnant and see what they have to say....

It is for a medical clinic on a military base

I once had a patient that was over 500 pounds and could never find a b/p cuff big enough. I would always end up using the wrist. Try that.

I used the EC practice exams, an NCLEX PN review book (i got it at the beginning of LPN school and found it a few weeks ago ..it had never been used) and a Med surg book from LPN school. If you need any more pointers, you may PM me and I will help. I...

Yep. Read the entire thread.

Why don't you mind your own business? I am an LPN and do stuff like this all the time, as long as there is an RN who cosigns within 24 hours. Seriously, don't you have more important stuff to worry about?

I say find a job you really like even if it means a pay cut...then take some advice from Dave Ramsey and make yourself a budget.
