   bilingueRN replied to jaznia15's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

   I had at least 10/75 SATA. I wasn't counting either. My results are on hold, so no pop up for me. Hoping to get quick results

2. How much do lpns earn in St.Louis,MO

   bilingueRN replied to ms1985's topic in General Nursing

   I would personally think that going on to get your RN first would save you quite a bit of time and you would make quite a bit more money with more options for places to

3. Biggest Misconception about nurses you've heard

4. Does your day shift have food days?

   bilingueRN replied to mappers's topic in General Nursing

   Who are you kidding? Every day is food day at the hospital! Food is like currency around my

5. Propofol shortage, anyone?

   bilingueRN replied to CNL2B's topic in General Nursing

   Interesting about the amps of Epi. Do you think that the docs are OK with that since in the ACLS algorithm you can only use vasopressin once? (not that the docs can't use it more, but with the new...

6. Chiropractor looking for a night/weekend RN or LPN program in Kansas City

   bilingueRN replied to DCAMG's topic in General Nursing

   Here's the thing with waiting though, you get your LPN and you are trained in that role and immediately have to change your thinking when you bridge to RN (which may also involve a long wait) and so...

7. Chiropractor looking for a night/weekend RN or LPN program in Kansas City

   bilingueRN replied to DCAMG's topic in General Nursing

   I would say that it would be better to wait for an RN program to open up for what you need them for. I think that LPN would add too much time on to your program. If PV works out, you could then go for...

8. Chiropractor looking for a night/weekend RN or LPN program in Kansas City

   bilingueRN replied to DCAMG's topic in General Nursing

   I don't think that they will ever advertise it as a part time program and they may not admit part timers since their admission standards are so sky high right now due to an overabundance of qualified...

9. Chiropractor looking for a night/weekend RN or LPN program in Kansas City

   bilingueRN replied to DCAMG's topic in General Nursing

   Saint Luke's is about to change their curriculum, so they may have a part time program by the time you start, but no nights or weekends

10. Waitlist chances

    bilingueRN replied to krestniy's topic in General Nursing

    More than 15 percent of the students they admitted will not go there. So many people apply to multiple programs, I would say you have an excellent chance. I was in the same situation around the same...

11. NO REPLYS

    bilingueRN replied to NurseLil-lea's topic in General Nursing

    Saint Luke's is incredibly hard to get in to. I have not heard much about LPN's being hired at SLHS, but I could be wrong. Have you thought of looking in to Truman Lakewood? They have quite a few...

    I'm here in KC and can give some insight on the student world and the St. Luke's

13. How many mEq's of K would it take to kill a 54lb woman?

    bilingueRN replied to DaughteroftheKing's topic in General Nursing

    I guess the answer to this question would involve what her current K level was. And since it is YOUR punishment, don't ya think you might want to do it yourself instead of asking on a board like this?...

14. Stethoscope help for 2nd career nursing student

    bilingueRN replied to Triathlon13's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I am also a non trad student and personally have a Littmann Classic II SE. It's a two sided stethoscope with a bell and a diaphragm. I think that it should be more than adequate for what I need it...

15. Evening Shift - support needed.

    bilingueRN replied to Anniekins's topic in General Nursing

    As an evening shift CNA who formerly worked days, I agree that they are unorganized and we do get dumped on, but it helps when the RN's work twelve hour shifts, then the pts come at
