    LPN Doubts

    nolanurse88 replied to whittwhitt's topic in LPN/LVN

    I'm a LPN in a hospital and have the same full responsibility as the RNs for my patients. I do admissions, teaching, meds, their daily care, make calls to the doctors, give IVPBs. Whenever I have an IV push or need the blood spiked the RN will do it. They also sign my tele strips. Overall just don't go in thinking it's any less stressful than for RNs. Now this may be different in another area of nursing.

    Taking Anatomy and Chem at the same time.

    nolanurse88 replied to wghtsrgltng's topic in Students

    I worked full time while taking A&P 2 online and lab at the school then took chem at another school an hour away. Made an A in both with a lot of discipline but my gpa couldn't afford anything less. From what you're telling us I think you'll do fine.

    Louisiana LPN to RN programs ?

    nolanurse88 replied to Badiliamelia21's topic in LPN-RN

    It's the only reason I chose nicholls lol. As long as I had my pre-reqs done and passed the NLN with a 77 you are guaranteed in. You DO have to be a student a Nicholls I believe to apply for the test tho. Passing the test exempts you from the fundamentals nurs 225 class and you go straight to nurs 255.

    Male Nurses in OB

    nolanurse88 replied to belin5's topic in Nurses

    I would not feel comfortable with a male nurse or doctor, I'm already modest.

    LSU vs ULL

    nolanurse88 replied to bryanphamx's topic in Louisiana

    Just keep in mind lsu son is in New Orleans so about an hour away. Both are really good schools I would go with the closest and cheapest school.

    Hey RN's that used to be LPN's !

    nolanurse88 replied to Tieuana's topic in Nurses

    I work 36 hrs/week working every weekend and then 1 day through the week that I'm off from school. I have a very supportive family but would still have no problem getting by paying bills if I didn't have him. I guess if I had kids I'd be a different story.
