I would like to know how some other offices handle prior authorizations for presciptions from insurance companies. I try to do all the work by faxing info (forms) instead of being on the phone so much. The problem is having to fax approx. 5 replies...

I'm in a situation that I total feel uncomfortable with. I'm a new grad RN that started at an outpatient facility for special needs children. When I was hired 3 months ago I made it very clear that I did not have any peds experience. I'm in a room...

I put my notice in today. What a relief. I think it would have been a great job if I already had some peds experience. I will miss the babes!

I work for a solo practice & I'm the only nurse so I do it all! Phone, RX call in's, lab draws, vitals. It's nice to work one on one with the doc.

I have done office nursing for 6 yrs as a LPN & now as a RN. It is different from hospital nursing, you use different skills. In a hosp. you may have a patient for a 12hr shift & never see them again, in an office you have them as long as t...

Have you looked into Pediatric Services of America (PSA)? I just went to work for them doing center based care (medically fragile children) but they also have home health that covers the state of Georgia.

I've been there. I use to work in a solo practice for 6 yrs, when I had to be out (which wasn't very much) the doc would just take over & the office manager helped him out. Of course things were a mess when I got back & the doc was very app...

I recently recieved my RN after 15yrs as a LPN. Go for the RN first! There will be so many times that you are limited as a LPN whether it's a particular skill or place of employment. The extra time in school is worth it.

ashfrost, I graduated with several friends from the ATL area, these quotes are based on what they were told. Decadur $22, Southern Regional $18-19, Henry $18-19. I live closer to Macon (about 1hr south) & most of hospitals offer $19 + shift dif...

hey everybody, I graduate in 3 days from an lpn 2 rn bridge program I've been an lpn for 15 years, it will be nice to get the respect and pay that I deserve.

I have the saunders comp. review (blue book) and used it to help study for test all the way through school. I like it the best, easy to understand. Just bought a Lippincott and it's tough! I get most of the questions wrong. I can't believe there i...

I had orientation today for L&D/Postpartum & nursery and will start clinical next friday. We have only been in class one week and have not discussed any of these areas/material yet. Also a nurse from the hospital that I will being going to ...

Where do you go to school NURSEBUNKY? I live in Forsyth, about 40min. south of you. I attend Gordon College in Barnesville. I start my first semester next week (I'm in a bridge program) I also have OB & Psych. Dont really know what to expect ye...

I just did mine on Tuesday for a LPN Bridge program. I passed but you talking about nerve racking & I've got 10+ yrs. experience. I forgot how dumb instructors can make you feel, I think that's there mission in life. Good luck!

I need an answer quick, I can't find in the text. What medications do you give by Z track injection???

I'm in the middle of completing my requirements for the bridge program. I must say mine doesn't sound near as bad as the previous post. There are 3 tests that you have to make a 75, computer modules and peds assessment that we basically do on our o...

I am in the middle of completing requirements for a LPN to RN bridge program. We are req. to pass a dosage/cal. test, validation test (which is basically everything that is taught the 1st yr of Rn program) & a skills test. You talking about har...

I've ironed mine for years. I can't stand wearing anything wrinkled.:)

In A&P1 we had sheep hearts. In A&P2 we did use cats. It took almost the entire semester. We had to skin it, study the muscles then cut it open to study the organs. Mine even had kittens so of course we had to remove them so sad. Needle...

"Hopefully" I will be starting a lpn to rn bridge program in jan. Is there anyone that is currently in this type of program or just finished? Is there any advice or tips? Do the instructors tend to be harder on you since your already an lpn?

I'm thinking about getting a PDA, what brand would ya'll recommend and that is compatable with downloading medical programs? There are too many choices and I want to get my $ worth:)

Thanks for all your help!

When I took the math placement test for college I bombed big time! (I never had algebra in h.s.) So I have to take 2 semesters of remidal math, retake the placement test before I could move on to the reg. required math course. Believe me if I can do...

It was my understanding from some of these online/home study colleges that you had to be an LPN first.

Just wondering how many times or how long it took some of you to get into a nursing program. I'm already finished with RN core and working on BSN till I get in. I'm on the second attempt. It's very depressing knowing you have done all you can do a...
