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 try we did a king airway. Being that we wanted the...

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 that helps expand your skill set, and must of all fin...

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 would say is learn your vaccines and age groups...

I'm a pediatric nurse. Now I'm the nurse for adolescents. I love emergency care first, which I am a certified emergency medical technician basic. With that certification I can respond to emergencies in my building and help those that are struggling i...

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 face and make me appreciate being a pediatric nurse...

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 didn't get in to nursing school for RN and I didn't h...

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 vacation and go back tomorrow and wish I took unt...

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 their EGO. I would turn them in to the administra...

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 off to all of you on LTC. I do understand the pres...

Go to vcuhealth.org or google vcu. What I can say about Vcu is, it has an environment that pushes you to keep growing as an individual.

Congrats..........................

Or got to the nclex form

On the top of the page for google search put in SPIDER it should show different conversations about Spider.

I knew you did. Congrats..............:nurse:

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 test and when I look there was question #82,83, 84 ...

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 pop up and that's what kept me from going insane.

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 web site. If all fails contact your school to mak...

I feel bad for those lpn's. I would do the unemployment and find another job. Apparently in that state they most be trying to go magnet and changing there scope of practice. It sounds like they just want to lay them off but don't want to be hit with ...

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 because no one told me to go back to school this w...

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 compassionate for your patients that you don't tak...

I work in VA as an LPN in a pediatric clinic. I started out as an (carepartner) umbrella term for emt,nursing student in med surg,medical assistant, and cna. I am also an emt-b that's how I worked as an carepartner first. I work in a clinic with NO c...

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 remind myself if I go back to MCI then I have to back ...

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 took it in CC but now I find my self back at a C...

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 class that graduated (april 2010) 2 of us have jobs...

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 and send your transcript from your school. Also ...
