It is important to make straight A's. One or two B's is alright, depending upon your program, is okay, but to be safe, make all A's. If you are having problems with your school work, ask you teacher for tips and then form a study group. If it comes d...

Reading this made me smile and giggle a little, and not because I think it's funny, but because you sound a lot like I did a few years ago. Here's the thing. I dont know what the admissions board will look at as I've never been in grad school, but ...

I think you may be confused, and perhaps getting information from incorrect resources. If you would, allow me to clarify a few things for you. 1. I have never heard of an LPN making $10/hr. That sounds more in-line with CNA wages. There is a big diff...

No, the expectations have been the exact same for my female peers. I didn't get any special treatment outside of a few things that are uncontrollable. For example, one time two girls were speaking poorly of a patient in the bathroom of a LTC facility...

Maybe she thinks it stands for "real nurse"?

I have several options. I can start Paramedic school Jan. 2015 then go back to RN school at a later point. On the other hand, I can attend LPN school and then either do a LPN to RN bridge or just start the RN program from scratch (but in 2017). I'd a...

The LPN program is 3 semesters and the medic program is 5 semesters and they are at the same school, so the cost per credit hour is the same, but obvsiously the LPN program will be cheaper. I like your trial-by-fire idea. I hadn't thought of it like ...

I agree with you but I wouldn't be able to start an RN program until Fall 2017 regardless of what I choose to do. In the mean time I could attend my community college lpn program that last 12 months while waiting on RN school to start.

It sounds like you was an EMT-B. Anybody who has taken pharmacology can tell you what a beta blocker is. You can't be a paramedic and not know what a beta blocker is. I wouldn't expect an EMT-B to know what it is because they don't give very many dr...

There is a simple fix to this problem. Simply say and prefferably in front of others and very respectfully "I find it very offensive that you call me a girl, and would appreciate it if you did not do that". The woman who is doing this to you will eit...

You want 400 mg, but you only have 350 mg per ml. So, you should create a want-have divsion equation. It works like this: Want / Have so... 400mg / 350mg (per 1ml) = 1.14 ml If you need to divide the dose due to having to give in into two different t...

Absolutely not!! I have dated a nurse that I work with and although everything was good for about 3 to 4 months, after that we had a break-up, long story short, I started dating her literally right after she stopped dating (and living with) a guy she...

Today I had a patient come in and had to give them HPV #1 and Menactra. Well I did give them the correct vaccines, but I gave them the state vaccine and they have privatw insurance. Has anyone ever done this beforw? What should I do about it?

Thanks for your help. I'm new to vaccinating. I opened up the wrong fridge (we have a state frdige and a private fridge for vaccines), and grabbed them out. It was the correct vaccine, so the child is protected, but obviously, I want to watch out for...

Hello, I have a question in regard to male nurse, more speficially LPN's marketability. I just (five months ago) completed an associates degree in medical assiting, and I am certified as well. However, after graduation I have not been able to find em...

So are you saying the chances of being employeed are slim? I realize that it would best in the long-run to get my RN first, but that's not an option financially right now.

i have the opportunity to attend a great lpn school, but i am currently two semesters into an equally great ma school (associates degree). however, i will be starting rn school in the fall of 2013. ma school will finish in the spring of 2013, and lpn...

I am thinking of possible places I want to use my future LPN education, and corrections seems to be a high candidate. That being said, do county jails usually hire new LPNs?

I was wondering if any of you guys have experience with a mostly on line LPN to RN bridge program where clinicals are done at a local hospital. I want to know how you felt about the difficulty of the material? Also, do you think that your LPN schooli...

So have you called your partner's sister yet? The way I see it you could just leave it alone and when he dies and the EMS services or you try to resuscitate him and it fails... that won't create any problems, but if he lives you may be in big **** wi...

Is she a big case of crazy? If so, the best advice I can give is to fully explain why you want it, and then get into the intricate details to prevent an irrational response.

Why does this mean you have to do computer science? Also, why do you view computer science in such a negative way? I would advise you to review the TEAS V manual in the areas that you scored poorly in and study very hard and at least try once more. A...

I take their pulse based on how the patients arm is currently lying or the way they hand their wrist to me.

It's easy to get caught up in all of the complexities that involve getting into, attending, and being a nurse, but there are things that we sometimes forget about. I think that out of those things, the simple reason as to why we started this path to ...
