Thank You all for your response. It has certainly taken the thought of my license being suspended. I will continue to be more efficient with in time. @ Adele_Michal7 at the time i was not thinking about getting assist with CNA with getting Vital Signs. I will definitely try it out the next time I work 3-11.

Im an (11pm-7am) shift nurse and recently i was called to do 3-11 shift with only 1 day of orientation 3-11pm. I felt confident and had in mind if i followed the 6 rights I wouldn't have problems in med error. As I began med passing for 30 patients, I was falling behind in time before having to start doing FSBS checks and administering insulin. RN supervisor brought the attention to the DON about me med passing late. DON summond me and talk to me about med errors and how soon we are expecting DOH state surveyor. At the time i was passing medications i felt i was going at a pretty good rate. I even pat myself in the back for attempting this even though I went over about 40 mins from the 2 hour window and gave insulin on time. I don't want to loose my license after working very hard in achieving my license for med passing late. I have a couple of questions in regards for being late in med passing. 1.) Could I loose my license if I were to go over the 2 hour med passing window? 2.) Would state surveyor give me a citation if this happened on their watch? 3.) What would be the correct thing to do if i didn't give the medication with in the 2 hour window? 4.) I use electronic BP cuff to speed things up a bit. When DOH ( department of health) is in would it be ok to use the electronic bp machine or should i use manual?

Hi everyone I have recently passed the entrance exam in order to go into a school i have chose in order to start my LVN course. The reason why I chose this school was because its only $17,500 compare to a $31,000 course at a different school. A women I met at a hospital she told me she recently went to the school where I'm about to go. She got screwed over because the school wasn't licensed to teach and was not given her money back, when she was half way of the course that caused her to drop out. I'm left towards what am i going to do. I really want to start the LVN course and I don't want to waste any more time. I'm curious to what a school needs in order to teach an LVN course. The admission who i spoke to is a doctor. Seems nice and friendly, but i don't want to be so naive. This is the link to the school and I'm wondering if it's legit. http://vsah.com . I've tried reading a lot of reviews on this school, but i haven't found any that has convinced me enough to join this school.
