LPNalmost!

Hi, all. I've been working as an LPN for less than 3 weeks now. I started training on the med cart this weekend and part of my training was pushing meds such as phenegran and nubain. All the LPN's in my hospital do it, so I accepted it as a normal part of my training. But today I was looking at the TN BON website and stumbled onto the board's amended policy regarding LPN's and IV therapy. Basically, it states that the LPN must have a minimum of 3 years experience or 2 years experience with completion of a formal IV training program at their facility in order to administer IV push medications. I have neither as I have been a LPN only since the 13th of this month and IV therapy is not included in the curriculum in TN LPN schools! I guess one of my questions would be: are any of you LPN's pushing IV meds without meeting the above conditions? Also, I did sign off on meds I pushed while training this weekend...is my tail end going to end up in the frying pan for this? And if this is standard policy at my facility, even though it is outside my scope of practice, what should I do? Am I interpreting "IV push" correctly when I assume it refers to any medication installed into the vein via the IV port? I'm really confused and concerned on how to address this with my new employer. All suggestions are appreciated.

:crying2: I just got home from taking the NCLEX-PN. I did so badly it shut off at 85 questions. I am so very discouraged. I studied and studied for this thing and I worked my tail off in school. I worked my NCLEX review book and CD. I studied my textbook and notes. I learned my meds. I graduated with a 94 as valedictorian and today I feel like I would have had just as good a chance on that test if I had spent a year studying Greek mythology!! So much of that test was stuff we never, ever covered in school. My friends from school had never heard of some of the stuff that was on my test either. Is this common or did my instructors leave out some important stuff? I feel like I had to guess at 95% of the questions...and I bet I guessed poorly! How did any of you ever pass this thing? It was all I could do not to cry DURING the test. I feel like I've wasted the past year...and the bad thing is, I left a really great job to pursue my dream. Now I'm scared to death I'll never pass the NCLEX!! I don't know how I can improve my chances if I have to retake it...I don't think I can study any more than I did for this first one and that didn't work! Sorry for the vent but I think I need some encouragement from people that actually made it!!
