  1. How long between graduation, NCLEX and working?

    luvmy2angels replied to okapple's topic in First Year After Licensure

    It all depends. I graduated Feb 24 and my employer hires GPNs, they wanted me to start May 6, but I didn't get my Temporary work permit in time so i will be starting April 3. They are giving me 6...

  2. Question

    luvmy2angels replied to tookewlandy's topic in Online Distance Learning

    No, you must first be a LPN to even apply to them. As far as I know there are no on-line LPN courses and if you find a place that says they offer it I would be VERY skeptical of them. To get your LPN...

  3. Nurses vs EMTs?

    luvmy2angels replied to bluepenguin's topic in General Nursing

    This is just my opinion, but I feel that nurses have a much more indepth education than EMTs. We both play a very important role..don't get me wrong. I just think that EMTs are taught what to so in an...

  4. Ambulatory resident with dementia who spits all the time

    luvmy2angels replied to karenlhm's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Gum is worth a try, we used it for one of our residents who also had demntia and it stopped almost immediately. I would try non-pharm options first before going right to meds, never know what side...

  5. Patches left in public

    luvmy2angels replied to amgo24's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I Must agree with this post. If it WAS indeed nothing to be worried about and she got reported with incorrect facts she could get in a lot of trouble. Not something I would want to be responsible for...

  6. Nurse dates doctor openly at work.

    luvmy2angels replied to castle's topic in General Nursing

    My only advice to the situation is NOT calling his wife, that is one can of worms that I personally would not want to open. If this is affecting the workplace than take it to HR and keep it...

  7. abandonment, what is it?

    luvmy2angels replied to canoehead's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with you, we have always been taught that until you take report and accept the assigment you can choose not to take it and it is not considered

  8. mandatory to stay over after your shift?

    luvmy2angels replied to johnson0424's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Does your facility use agency staffing at all?? Most of the times where I worked they would be able to find an agency person come in. The aides aren't mandated to stay where I live, however the...

  9. Im sorry, but light stomachs please do not read!

    luvmy2angels replied to onconurseRT's topic in General Nursing

    WOW! As stated by so many others i am terribly sorry that this happened to your son and I would do my best to make sure that this boy was punished!! As far as what can be spread via urine...I know...

  10. question about cna classes

    luvmy2angels replied to bobdil's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    There isn't any way of taking CNA classes online, there are too many hands on experiences that you need to learn. Most vo-techs offer CNA classess however these will cost you around $400-$600,...

  11. Question regarding ATTs

    luvmy2angels replied to Jesskanurse's topic in General Nursing

    As long as you applied for and got your temporary practice permit your ATT shouldn't matter. You cannot work if you don't have a TPP

  12. do any of you work in anything other than ltc as an LPN?

    luvmy2angels replied to Princess74's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    UMMM...Maybe you should take your own advice. Nowhere in her post was she uncaring, and if anyone comes off as having an attitude it is YOU!! I have worked in LTC for 18 years as a CNA and I KNOW I...

  13. paying for school questions

    luvmy2angels replied to bell47's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Just a small note about student loans. Most of them you don't have to pay on while you are in school. You can choose to pay the interest (which was about $11.00 every couple of months for me), and...

  14. I feel silly

    luvmy2angels replied to gayleraff's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It really depends. Most colleges will require a lot of pre-reqs before you can even apply to their nursing program. You will prob. need algebra, chemistry and some english courses besides some others....

  15. do any of you work in anything other than ltc as an LPN?

    luvmy2angels replied to Princess74's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I just accepted a job at a hospital as a GPN. They hire LPNs in all their depts. I will be in the sub acute care unit. I have been a CNA in LTC for 18 years and decided that when I was done with...

  19. Military Nurses: What do you think of Bush and the war?

    luvmy2angels replied to baby_gurl0604's topic in Government, Military

    [/url] Well, I am VERY anti-BUSH !!! My sister is in the air force and has been for about 14 years now.I fell that most people in the military are supportive of our current administration (keep in...

  20. Hospice in LTC

    luvmy2angels replied to suebird3's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    I couldn't agree more! I don't think that people realize all that hospice offers. I never knew until we had a hospice nurse come in to speak to our class that they will take you even if you can't pay...

  21. Soy vs. Cow's Milk-Based Formula

    luvmy2angels replied to daisybaby's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I can only say from personal experience that if it weren't for soy milk neither of my children would be here! I couldn't breast feed and both of my children had terrible allergies to cows milk. Soy...

  22. What is considered a Medication Error?

    luvmy2angels replied to nursemi's topic in General Nursing

    In any place I have been we have always been taught that we have a one hour window (either before or after scheduled time) in which to administer the meds to the patient. Now if we go outside that one...

  23. What would you do?

    luvmy2angels replied to MommyJoy's topic in General Students

    It is this type of attitude that gets me. Wonder what else you would do if you could "get away with it". It is episodes like the one the OP stated happening that has caused the enforcing of our...

  24. I am a cursed idiot

    luvmy2angels replied to epiphany's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with some of the other posters that you should re-think being a nurse. I hope you don't walk around your work with this sort of gloomy attitude. I sure wouldn't want a nurse like that taking...

  25. Does working as GPN help with taking the NCLEX?

    luvmy2angels posted a topic in General Nursing

    Any opinions on this subject?? I am taking a job in a sub acute care unit as a GPN. I will have 6 months to take and pass the NCLEX. I plan on studying for the NCLEX, of course, but don't you think...
