I've witnessed 3 intubations. 2 in the field 1 in the hospital. Only 2 that was difficult. 1st one that was difficult the paramedic only had me the EMTB, and after we were unsuccessful with the first...
Exactly as The Commuter said, it takes time an experience. I asked a lot of questions and I jumped on any thing that required new education. Go to conferences, look for classes on the novice nurse...
Congrats, I have worked as a pediatric LPN since 2010, first job ever. My nurse manager created a position for me when I was a care partner, so that after I took my nclex I would have a position. What...

I love the different sectors nursing offer. I love when I see some of my patient's in my daughter school, and they ask her if I am her mom? Because I am their favorite nurse. That puts a smile on my...
team forum, it's up to you. On what career path is right for you. If you have kids and cannot devote 4 years of education then go for the LPN. I had the same situation. I had to keep applying if I...
I have to say, I wish I could work 2 or 3 twelve hour shifts. I work Monday thru Friday at a full time career as an LPN. Every other weekend as a casual employee as an LPN charge nurse. I have been on...
I feel for you. I work with adolescent patients and I have a 14 year old. With that said I am a big bully advocate. This is not the health care world but some people use being a seasoned individual as...
I have to say, I can't see how you all do it. Since I have been a nurse(3 yr) I have only did OP clinic, and I complain about parents and the way they act.lord my job seems like a piece of cake. Hats...
I am sorry to hear you did not pass, but don't give up. I did not fail my nclex but I thought I was. I started out confident knowing the computer will cut of on 75. I was cruising through the whole...
I would give it until Monday. Because the state might be closed today. I took mine on a Wednesday and did not find out until Tuesday, because they took friday of before memorial day. I got the good...
If you took your test in Virginia with in 48 hours you should be able to call the board of nursing and find out if you have a license. With in 72 hours you should be able to look it up on the nursing...

I have been an Lpn for 13 months and where I work I am the go-to person. Maybe because I have emergency care experience also but they trust me. Im also bridging into my Rn now, as I planned to do not...
I am an LPN also, and where I work we have to take 15Ceu's a year for our license including Rn's. With that said I went to a class called compassion and fatigue. It talked about burn out and being to...

I know in Richmond they have an RN to bachelors program. I thought about goin back to MCI also but I think about the triumphs also that really isn't worth it. So I just stick to my guns. I always...
I am going threw the same thing. I went to MCI also. I blame myself for not doing my research first because listening to other people got me in this situation. I took the LPN program wishing now that...
I've read so many blogs about new nurses not finding jobs. I don't know why schools don't require nursing students to get a job in the health care field while in school at least PRN work. Out of my...
You might need to check your BON to see if your school forgot to seen something that is reqired for you to test... I know that happens alot and in VA you must pay your fees before sitting for the test...
