ha i just found the answer to my own question lol pro-vi-sion-al [color=#116699] [color=#116699][color=#116699] [color=#880000]/prəˈvɪʒənl/[color=#116699] [color=#116699]pronunciation key[color=#880000] - [color=#116699]show spelled pronunciation[color=#880000][pruh-vizh-uh-nl][color=#116699] [color=#116699]pronunciation key[color=#880000] - [color=#116699]show ipa pronunciation[color=#116699] [color=#558811]-adjective 1.providing or serving for the time being only; existing only until permanently or properly replaced; temporary: a provisional government. 2.accepted or adopted tentatively; conditional; probationary. 3.(usually initial capital letter) of or being the wing of the irish republican army that follows a policy of violence. basically its only temporary

so what does the provisional mean?

so where do i look to see if Galen is accredited or not. I plan on taking the LPN to RN at their st pete campus this year. I go in Tuesday to take the entrance exam.

i have an interview tomorrow at the jail in our county and reading this is really giving me seconds thoughts on whether i should go or not. I have 4 children at home and I dont want to go to walmart and run into an old inmate that didnt like me or something.

good luck you guys, remember relax and don't read too much into the questions

I'm a new nurse about to start on a Ventilator unit at a small hospital. Any advice? I'm nervous to death. i guess it's because i'm not sure what to expect or what i'll be dealing with on a day to day basis. I was told that i'll be working with IV's alot and that i'll be going through six weeks of training with a preceptor, the max number of patients i'll have will be 8. I really don't know what to say or ask but if you guyz have some pointers or tips i'd really appreciate it.

i used saunder's....make sure you know maslow, prioritize, "what would u do first" "which patient would you see first?" know your signs and symptoms that is a big thing and learn how to read the questions and never change your first answer!

i know how you feel i spent the majority of nursing school looking for a job, all i kept getting was "you need to be working as an lpn for at least a year" some 2 years. Then i was told to get my cna license to work as a nurse tech, so i did that in feb of last year and still nothing i graduated in july of 2004 and got my license in january and i had been looking since then, finally i got a job just yesterday as a nurse on the ventilator unit, at a small hospital in my area....never even knew this hospital existed. Just keep looking, pray about it and the right job will come along when u least expect it....Good Luck :)

Sorry it took me awhile to answer, the classes are at Erwing Tech on 2301 E. Hillsborough Ave, it costs $130.00 plus about $40 for the book, go to www.erwintech.org and look up part time evening courses btw i found a job at Kindred Healthcare, i'm going to be working on ventilator unit....eeeks, if ever i was nervous this is it. But i'm glad i'll be doing something like this. The recruiter told me if i could handle ventilated patients i can do it all, i have 6 weeks of orientation and the max number of patients i'll be handling at the end of my orientation is 8.....wish me luck on my journey.

I finally found an IV class i start on tuesday so hopefully this will get my foot in the door. I'll let you know how things are going. I'm still looking in the paper in the meantime. But i am definately going to get my rn. There is this new hospice that opened up in my city, and of course they stated that their staff consists of dr's, rn's and hha......WHERE ARE THE LPN'S!!!???

i thought it was just me, everytime i look on the hospitals websites they want lpn II's and they want one years med-surg exp. it's very discouraging when i cant get into the branch of nursing that i want, i feel as if i'm being forced to do otherwise. how do i get around it?

thx u guyz :chuckle now to find a job lol
