Wow, I guess it shows that i am not care plan savy at this point. I have taken your advice and have studied the information you provided. I will turn my work in on Tuesday. I will update my instructors input once i get them back. Wish me luck. LPN care plans were so different. I learn so much more everyday. Thanks so much for replying. Michelle

I had a clinical involving a pt admit with DVT, On coumadin therpy. Bad News is i thought i got all of my labs. I only got labs for CBC abnormals which including the plt ct of 125 and rbc 10.3, she was transfused the day before with 1 pt of bld. I didn't get my pt/inr. Next day she was discharged so i couldn't go back and get them. Since i am a student I can't access hx of d/c pt. Any advice how to make this a great careplan without it?????? My other careplan is impaired tissue perfusion rt venous insuff aeb redness, warmth and weak Right lower ext. Any help/advice would be great.

Hi, I currently pump at work for my 7 month old son. I work in a Nursing home. I use any empty patient room that is available. Providing it has been cleaned and sanitized. I bring my own towel and I use a disposable pad which my pump sits on. I have a Pump in Style so I store the my breast milk in the cooler. It works out great. However I have been walked in on a few times. They end up more embarrassed than me though. I am very busy most of the time. But I make sure I take my breaks, even if it's just to pump and eat a snack. On occassion i don't get a chance to pump but not often. My supply is good so one missed pumping doesn't affect it. I plan on pumping until he is one. Afterwards i will just nurse when he wants. I pumped with my daughter also and used empty offices when available but usually ended up in the bathroom, I learned alot from that. I now stand up and make sure I take my breaks in a more sanitary place and everyone knows why. I don't get any slack about it. Good luck and bless your babe and your pump!

I will be starting school this fall for LPN. I have all of my classes completed, so i only need to concentrate on the nursing classes themselves. I have been advised by several different people including a Doctor to seriously consider taking a Spanish course and becoming fluent while i am in school. Here in Eastern NC, there are alot of Spanish speaking americans. So I was wondering how many of you auctually are taking a language course or are currently fluent in some other language. I have been told that the additional pay is awesome.

Just recieved my acceptance letter from Wilson Technical Community college in NC for Lpn program! :rotfl: I start in August for a year long program.
