You need to see Dr. Phil. Don't give the State board's ammunition and money making scemes for us to rekate the NCLEX, like you renew your license every two years. This is just plain NUTS!

Learned my skills from USAF School of Health Care Sciences. Licensed in CA, Job in OH.

Posted this a few years back just follow the link! But remember you can only work in a federal institution once you are licensed unless you belong to that state. Most states does not accept endorsement from challenging the board, but rather require ...

I have posted this a few years back check this out! But remember once you are licensed you can only work in a federal installation, like the VA, fed prison, uniformed services bases. etc. https://allnurses.com/forums/f57/navy-doc-needs-info-going-lvn...

Currently Short and Long term rehab. Before I was a nurse: Med-Surg, Same Day Surgery, ER, L&D, NICU, Clinic. Wish to go back to ERRRR! There's no other joy than pushing those Ewald tube and seeing those pill fragments run down the reservoir and ...

Can somebody please enlighten me about the disparity between LVN which RN renewal fees in California. LVN pays $125 while RN only pays $85. How is it based? The less education you have the more you pay or does LVN earned more than RN's in cali.? Than...

Thank you, Commuter for your kind words. But the fact is that California is the only state that charge and outrageous renewal fees for their LVN. The rest of the nation is equal to or less, besides Wisconsin that charge LPN $6 more than RN. Your Stat...

The only way you can please these nurses is to have everything ready for them save them time to do the work. When I have a patient who needs IV push. I have everything ready for them to do the pushing, syringe, meds, alcohol, needles or whatevery saf...

No, Too much responsibility for your scope of practice. Why would you do it when you don't get conpensated for it?

Tell them Elvis left the building!

Have no fear I am an experienced medical technician in the military. I am the living proof why California has this option. Callifornia is tapping a reach resource of clinically experienced medical technician trained by the best instructors. I got my...

Do you think US nurses wait 2 years for this nursing abuse? I don't think so. Professional white slavery in my opinion. Why? They recruit you with promises then when you arrived here, a horible working condition. You try to complaint but since you ar...

I was just wandering? Did you get two orders from the doctor to mix this two meds or did the instruction came from a product insert? I guess it could happen. Like Rocephen can be mixed with lidocaine to minimize discomfort when given IM especially fo...

Some lazy advisor doesn't want to do their job but it's easy for them to lie to you. Big fat lie! I should go back to him or her to find documentation of that rumor. Just another ploy, to keep you in that expensive program. Don't be forced to go into...

Have you considered VA Nursing? Your license is good in any federal facility in the country. To answer your question yes, they will accept it if they count towards your major. The only college that I know of that will credit most of your military exp...

You did not mention how much time you have left in the service? Here are what I have gathered so far lurking around web sites. Some States will allow you to challege their LVN/LPN exam. Check this out! http://www.bvnpt.ca.gov/forms.htm http://w...

Sorry, not in your scope of practice. If your board of nursing get a wind of it or someone complain, you could lose your license!

This is just a sad case! California would rather import nurses from another country SOME of them don't have much clinical experience than to hire our own citizens because of a few clinical hours? Some EC Grads are trained by the US Gov't. This is the...

Don't worry you are in a very good program. Statistically you have a better odds of passing your NCLEX at the end of your program than ASN and BSN. Proof is in NCSBN website. Look at it and decide. http://www.ncsbn.org/testing/psychometrics_nclexpass...

These classes requires laboratory hours especially microbiology. You might check your RN program or school first if they accept an online class before enrolling.

"Few LPNs are formally educated about the purpose and value of the Minimum Data Set, Resident Assessment Protocols, quality indicators, and related tools. How well can this information be collected and applied if these principal care participants are...

This doctor has good intention about his article but poor research. I never heard of a facility that don't give in service's on their staff about almost anything. We provide our state continuing education before renewal of our license. We too take bo...

Your perspective and outlook well change as soon as you pass your boards. So are employers. Check paper want ads, internet, State government jobs especially corrections, doctor's offices, your local veterans affairs hospital (VA) apply even if they a...

As a member of the male species, I take offense on this question. It does not matter what your gender is as long as you provide good nursing care. I have taken care of the very young and the very old of both sexes and not once in my professional care...

This sound like an excellent program for a working people like myself. How do they set up their clinical experience/class? Do you have to go to New York for it?
