I was wondering if anyone can give me feedback on why I want to be a nurse essay for admission into an LPN program, thanks. I want to be a nurse because I am a general caring and compassionate person, who has a soft spot for the geriatric population....

Here in Illinois today, a law just went into effect, revoking any health care professional who practice under a license or certificate from working in the health care field who were convicted of sexual assault, misdemanor battery against a patient, o...

I just finished my EMT-B course, passed state boards, and just recently got accepted into nursing(LPN) school. I have no shame and care what people have to say. I am 19 years old and am doing what is best for my future. I eventually plan on going bac...

From my understanding it is not wrong. The person have an altered mental status and therefore it is implied consent. If the person was in their right state of mind, then that's when it is wrong.

This happened in my class over the summer when I took A&P II. I told the teacher from an email address I made without identifying myself. It was at least 9 people in the back cheating and I like the original poster, was angered by itn even though...

Nursing homes getting more advanced by the day. Many nursing homes in my area are implenting a vent unit and also a cardiac unit in addition to their skilled floors. Long term care seems to be getting more acute over time. I think this is nice becaus...

Optimist, I agree with you on that. It's a way for the private facilities to make more money even during the times of Medicare reimbursement dwindling. I know one of the facilities are training their nurses on the cardiac and vent unit for a total of...

Hi, the LPN program at my community college requires that you score at least a 50% on the TEAS exam. What did you guys score on the TEAS exam? What was your school requirement? Did you get in if you got the passing score? How hard did you study, and ...

One of my old teachers has her masters in education, and she have respect for the associate degree nurses who went to the community colleges because she know how rigorous the program is. She even quoted that it is more diffict than obtaining a master...

i agree with evolvingrn and also the fact that everyone is jumping ship into the nursing profession because of "good pay and job security."

I have two relatives that are nurses who prefer the LTC setting. One has an associates in nursing, and one with the BSN. They both hold nice positions within the LTC facility. One is an ADON and the other one is a Infection Control Nurse. They both l...

This is true, especially in my area. LTC new grad nurses make at least $3-4 more per hour than hospital nurses. PRN and Registry nurses tend to make mid to late thirties per hour. Plus, there is lot of over time in LTC, where in some area in the hosp...

At the community college in my area, you can do the LPN program and then bridge at the same school to become an RN which is a year. they let the LPNs students into the second year of the RN program, so they are on par with the students who are going ...

I second the above, do whats best for you, but remain professional about the situation.

You should do the LPN route first because you can start working sooner and make money while continuing your education. Some might propose other wise due to the economy, but where I live, there are an abundance of jobs in LTC for LPNs and a few of the...

:nurse:For the nurses that are supervisors in Long Term Care/Sub-Acute, can you tell me exactly what are your duties/job description? Do you get to work the floor or is it all paperwork. Are you paid by the hour or salaried? If you work as a staff nu...

Hi, in my EMT-B course, there is an LPN in the class who is an EMT-B, but works only as a nurse, he sits in the class and observe for con ed hours....perhaps this could work for you, good luck. TO add: he also perform kind of like a preceptor to the ...

write her up to the DON and report that she is working out of her scope of practice by adjusting the 02 on a patient. If you have to get the administrator involved or report to the people who certify nursing assistants.

From what i seen at a large doctors clinic in my area that I go to, one of the medical assistants adresses herself as the nurse and think she is so superior. I can see it getting mind bothering and cumbersome because I have never witnessed nurses at...

Im not a parent, so you can take this post with a grain of salt, but I have a relative that finished nursing school two years ago for her ADN and I recently asked her this question, and she said yes. She likes her job and the job shift, Long Term Acu...

If it was me, I would sacrifice and go with option number two, because it can lead to others door later on down the road, especially in an economy like this. You dont want to get trapped in a position, and then when you try to change specialties, it ...

:nurse:Just curious as to see what are people favorite specailty area is on this board. I personally love geriatrics and correctional nursing. Geriatric is my number one because it seem that SOME people forget about them when it comes to nursing, as ...

Im not saying that it is ok if they are not caught. Every nurse, doc, paramedic, or whatever is not an angel by any means. Some committ crimes, but never get caught and thus are able to practice, while a person who may have gotten in trouble with the...

I get what you saying, i agree rape or child molestation, then the person does not need to be given a second chance. Thats just a boundary that dont needs to be crossed. From what I seen most that committ those type of crimes have a mental problem......
