  1. LVN "teamate" not doing meds properly-advice wanted

    demylenated replied to babblingbrook's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    If indeed you find the meds are late according to the facility, keep track of EVERYTHING... every infraction, every thing you address with her and what she says, and every time you go to the...

  2. LPN program CLOSED by BON-VA 5/10/11 what to do!

    demylenated replied to Ginger Snapp's topic in Virginia Nursing

    Go to the ATI testing site (the makers of the teas test) and get THEIR book! It is the ONLY book I used and had every single thing you need to know addressed in it. The book is like $42. If you get...

  3. Well, I'm In...Now What Am I Going To Do???

    demylenated replied to greenfiremajick's topic in General Students

    Congrats!! I start the bridge program June 13th... and classes in the fall! I am nervous but super excited as

  4. LVN "teamate" not doing meds properly-advice wanted

    demylenated replied to babblingbrook's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    At a facility I worked in, if the mar said 0900, we had a 2 hour (before and after) window in which the medication is given "on time" (because we may have 30 patients to pass meds on). We simply put...

  5. I'm a dispairing student in need of advice.

    demylenated replied to Steveo.O's topic in General Students

    I agree, I don't think you should take it personal (it would be illegal for them to do that if they had to show an audit of their acceptance criteria). 79% is a great TEAS score, but one could get...

  7. how do you study subjects that have triggers?

    demylenated replied to anonymousstudent's topic in General Students

    A person is not defined by their diagnosis. I came up with that and tell myself that almost every day, because I've been in your position, many times, in 12 years. So, when you read about a disease or...

  8. TNCC (VA) Is the RN program no more?

    demylenated replied to Ginger Snapp's topic in Virginia Nursing

    Says they still have it: http://tncc.edu/students/classes-curriculum/degrees-programs/ http://www.tncc.edu/academics/degrees_programs/20102011_updates/AAS_Nursing_Hampton_2010.pdf Here is the info for...

  9. TNCC (VA) Is the RN program no more?

    demylenated replied to Ginger Snapp's topic in Virginia Nursing

    After having the one program close... you're having trouble??? Thomas Nelson CC - I called them almost a year ago because my DH had orders to NN, VA. I wanted to do the LPN to RN bridge. They said...

  10. Almost had to quit my LPN job today due to RN school

    demylenated replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in LPN to RN

    I'm glad it worked out for you... Seems the orientation nurse didn't know what you talked about when you were hired, perhaps. I agree... being this close, IMO, school has to come first. Good luck......

  11. On-Line CPR Class

    demylenated replied to my4helpers's topic in General Students

    Great!! As long as the school said it was ok... Here are some of the sites to look out for. These are the ones that will just kinda take your money (even though they say they are "acceptable."...

  12. On-Line CPR Class

    demylenated replied to my4helpers's topic in General Students

    Woops!!! LOL!! You are correct, thank you!! My fingers got ahead of my

  13. Switch from 2nd year LPN to RN student....Is it possible?

    demylenated replied to rnwannabe77's topic in LPN to RN

    I start the transition program on the 13th. The slots are those who have stopped at the LPN level, dropped out, or failed out before the 2nd year... so, basically they fit you in where there is room,...

  14. On-Line CPR Class

    demylenated replied to my4helpers's topic in General Students

    I guess that was the difference, this was purely online... there was no hands on, at ALL! The "class" potion I could see doing online, and then doing skills as you say... But, a lot of the online...

  15. On-Line CPR Class

    demylenated replied to my4helpers's topic in General Students

    Yes, I did one. No it is not hard - it is TOO easy... HOWEVER!!!! Check with your school... My school would NOT accept ANY ONLINE PROGRAM AT ALL!!! It had to be an IN CLASS by the American Heart...

  16. Anatomy & Physiology (1 and 2) + Microbiology = SUMMER

    demylenated replied to nerfs-mode-on's topic in General Students

    You can do it! I had neither chem, nor did I have basic bio... I scored well enough on my ACT and entrance exam not to need them as pre-reqs. I took all three accelerated just as you have planned. I...

  17. Switch from 2nd year LPN to RN student....Is it possible?

    demylenated replied to rnwannabe77's topic in LPN to RN

    Wow!! Sounds like, besides the pre-reqs, you may have to start all over again. This is the way our program works... Our RN program is 2 years. At the end of the 1rst year, you have 2 options, keep...

  18. Accepted as an ALTERNATE!!! Should I be excited?

    demylenated replied to Goldskinned_Nurse's topic in LPN to RN

    So, you do NOT want to be an alternate for the LVN to RN? Were you aiming for something else (you have the crying face next to it like it is a bad thing). There may be a wait list - but that is...

  19. 9 month LPN- RN Bridge Programs in Atlanta GA

    demylenated replied to lpatt949's topic in LPN to RN

    The RN bridge program I am going to is 3 semesters. The transition semester and the final year of RN school. I spent 2 semesters getting my pre-reqs, though... the 3 semesters to complete my RN are...

  20. Accepted as an ALTERNATE!!! Should I be excited?

    demylenated replied to Goldskinned_Nurse's topic in LPN to RN

    First, how many alternates are there? If only a few, and you are number one - I'd say it is almost probable you are a shoe in. Because of the way the economy is and the way things work, someone may...

  21. Getting rid of LPNs??

    demylenated replied to piinklovesnursing's topic in LPN to RN

    I have been an LPN for 12 years. I heard it way back then that LPNs were phasing out. I found that there were more LPN jobs after school than RN jobs. Being military, with several moves, I have NEVER...

  22. Help! Stay in LVN or go to RN?

    demylenated replied to BeJuled's topic in LPN to RN

    I currently reside in Mississippi... But, when I lived in Va it was the same thing. Every program required full time hours, whether it was LPN, RN, or the bridge program. I understand what you mean...

  23. I've been ACCEPTED!!!

    demylenated replied to demylenated's topic in LPN to RN

    Thanks again

  24. Help! Stay in LVN or go to RN?

    demylenated replied to BeJuled's topic in LPN to RN

    I think you are going to do just fine no matter what you decide to do. It is great they offer a part time nursing program. Every single one we have here has to be full time. And if you have your...

  25. LPN vs RN

    demylenated replied to Mrs. SnowStormRN's topic in LPN to RN

    Oh you are absolutely right... I didn't mean it any other way... But it always seems there is a one upmanship in the health care... cna vs lpn vs rn... Instead of taking a new grad under our wing we...
