    HisTreasure replied to 2bNurseZato's topic in Travel

    HisTreasure posted a topic in LPN, LVN Corner

  4. How many of you worked as CNA's before you became LPN/LVN's???

    HisTreasure replied to couldntbhappier's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Never did. I am going for my RN, though, and I will remember what I went through as an LPN. It's important to grow and remember where you have come

    HisTreasure replied to AstrosFan's topic in Emergency

    HisTreasure replied to wisedome's topic in Georgia Nursing

    HisTreasure replied to catsnurse's topic in New Jersey Nursing

    I'm in NY. We are allowed to start IVs, run the floor, do MDS, etc. Here are your nurse practice acts. Maybe you can find your answers within these guidelines. New Jersey Statutes- NJ Board of...

  12. Stop #@$%!* Thief!!!

    HisTreasure replied to VivaLasViejas's topic in General Nursing

    HisTreasure replied to PeachPie's topic in General Nursing

    HisTreasure replied to fayethlove's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

  15. Is LPN worth it for Single Parent??

    HisTreasure replied to fayethlove's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

  16. You're working HOW MANY shifts?!

  17. Three 12's vs. 7 on/off

    HisTreasure replied to ADNgrad2006's topic in General Nursing

    HisTreasure posted a topic in New York Nursing

  20. Falsely accused of abuse by a coworker that hates me, now I'm suspended!

    HisTreasure replied to Successful_26's topic in New York Nursing

    I'm sorry you are dealing with this. As for it going on your license- unless something happened that endangered a patient and/or resulted in a state investigation I highly doubt you have anything to...

  25. New CNA - any advice?

    HisTreasure replied to smwall3's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Teamwork is key! Some CNAs find buddying up to be an effective way of completing rounds in an expiditious way---especially if you each have 20 residents to change, turn and
