I understand where you are coming from because patient safety does come first but as some mentioned earlier it does seem like your on a crusade with this one nurse. I know you are a MDS coordinator but that is not a nurse manager nor a DON nor an ad...

I don't think you're crazy. I graduated May 23, got my ATT June 1st and took the boards June 3rd at 8am, was I ready? heck no, only had the chance to look at information for 2 days and went in took the test, passed with 75 questions in 45 minutes. ...

In NYS LPN's can start IV's and maintain them as long as they've had proper IV infusion training usually provided by the facility. Certain medications like drips etc. can't be started/maintained by a LPN. Morphine in this state can be given by a LP...

If they offer it I would say go ahead and do that just because you never know which job is going to require a bsn or if you ever want to switch and do another program that require a bsn. I know for me I'm doing an ADN RN to Master's that is only 3 y...

Wow Maeva! and where are you employed if you don't mind my asking?

Thank you! I recommend focusing more on some strategies for answering questions. In school we were required to get a book called strategies for success which gave strategies for tackling each type of question. Also I would use one maybe two at the m...

Because your just getting out of high school they do look at your high school grades. It's more so when your a nontraditional student when they don't look at them as much. The only basic requirements that most nursing programs are going to require a...

I didn't take a review course and I only had the chance to study for like a day and a half. I used 2 different books and just mainly focused on common taught conditions like cushing's, liver biopsy, things like that. I figured if I didn't get the i...

I'm pregnant also but not due till Sep. I graduated may 23rd, received my ATT on Tues, June 1 which was quicker than I thought it was going to come so I got anxious and wanted to schedule quick so I only had the chance to study the rest of tues and a...

I live in upstate,ny and I would try onondaga county hospitals. I graduated with an associates and only applied to 2/5 hospitals in this city and was interviewed and offered the job at both hospitals 2 months before I even graduated and they all let ...

I had my daughter in 2003 and graduated from high school in 2004 when I was 17. During my senior year I took a CNA certification course but didn't get the chance to work as a CNA because after graduation I went straight to LPN school, graduated at 18...

I recommend Cayuga Community College online courses, they have almost every prereq for nursing you'll need including sciences and math. I took A+P I &II, micro, intro soc, intro pysch, life span, english I&II, west civil and child psych all ...

It is true that it must be hard for them to tell the difference between someone trying to manipulate them and what's real. Everyone involved in this situation is responsible and in my opinion the nurse is especially responsible because in any settin...

I just went bak and check again like 5 minutes later and my results were available so I called quick results and I PASSED!!!! Guess the PVT really did work for me yayyyy!!!!! Now I'll be changing my credentials from LPN to RN! :yeah: ...

Ugggh my results still aren't available according to the PearsonVue website and I took the test on Thurs at 8am. This is driving me crazy because I know they have to have the results and I waited for the 48 hours, still no results. I did the trick a...

I live here in the city where this happened and I recognize her as someone I went to high school with and it's said. I couldn't believe it when I picked up the paper and read this article how these so called healthcare professionals responded to her...

I was in a similar situation but my job was supposed to start june 7th and I'm due sep18th. I planned on working right up until my due date, having the baby and then coming right back to work within days so I didn't tell them I was pregnant because ...

I don't think it's a bad idea to go to LPN school, I graduated about 5 years ago and I found the material to not really be hard but everyone has different opinions on that part of it. Depending on the level of difficulty you find it be on, you may h...

I took mine on Wednesday and the anticipation is driving me nuts. Since the test is computerized, they really need to make the results available quicker than 48 hours even if you have to pay a little more, I think it would be worth it for a lot of pe...
