  1. Anyone know of any good LPN to RN online schools?

    SweetBabyLPN replied to lynnie88's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I'm pretty sure she signed up for Excelsior, but maybe I didn't get the full story on why they wouldn't reimburse her. Either way though, she didn't register for any classes, but (for one reason or...

    SweetBabyLPN replied to SweetBabyLPN's topic in General Nursing

    Well, think about it, if one of your coworkers were to say something like "Gosh dthfytr, you type sooo darned slow!", What they would really like is for you to type faster, right? So they could just...

    well, i know multiple people who have gone to excelsior (one who graduated), and they all say it's a sham! i've looked into it myself and have come to the same conclusion. for one, once you register,...

    Hey everyone! I needed advice on something. (Sorry, this is long!) Prior to going on leave from my job, I expressed interest to my DON in a particular field of nursing. It came up several more times...

  7. LPN scope of practice

    SweetBabyLPN replied to Quark09's topic in General Nursing

    I know. I didn't think you were. I was just just commenting on it because it's also in OB so I thought I would mention it. Sorry if you misunderstood my intent.

  8. LPN scope of practice

    SweetBabyLPN replied to Quark09's topic in General Nursing

    first of all, they don't "let" lpn's do whatever an rn can do, we are trained to do those things in ns (like you) so we are always practicing within our scope. it's not the same thing as an ma in a...

  9. LPN scope of practice

    SweetBabyLPN replied to Quark09's topic in General Nursing

    Prettyinblu: Really? Where I am is pretty liberal as far as skills are concerned. The only skills that an RN can perform that an LPN can't are PICC and Midline insertions, Push IV narcotics and access...

  10. LPN scope of practice

    SweetBabyLPN replied to Quark09's topic in General Nursing

    SweetBabyLPN replied to SweetBabyLPN's topic in General Nursing
