  1. New to Allnurses.com/Nursing ratios??

    Chel replied to BCLadynpink's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Greetings ~ In my LTC facility there are two stations. One station has 36 pts. 1st shift has one lpn, one med tech, and either 3 or 4 aides. 2nd shift has one lpn, a med tech until 4pm, and either 3...

  2. Have you taken the LPN Board Exam??!!

    Chel replied to hopeful79's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Greetings ~ As long as you remember the ABC's, maslow's hierachy, and the nursing process you'll do fine (when in doubt: assess). The test is mostly prioritizing...which pt comes first. I graduated...

  3. mandatory scrubs?

    Chel replied to NativeTexan's topic in Emergency

    My facility requires that nurses wear white pants and their hideous print top, or white uniforms. If we go with all white we're supposed to wear a cap....which we don't. All other departments wear...

  4. T.O. order

    Chel replied to jareze1's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I work in LTC. We have a book of our house doc's protocols...which saves a lot of time. But none of us would write an order for a psych consult without running by the MD first. Same with x-rays,...

  5. Phasing out LPN's?????

    Southern Ohio seems to have plenty of LPN positions. I just started a new one a couple of weeks

  7. Advice on the LVN/LPN N-clex exam

    Chel replied to closatssl1's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    The test is multiple choice, 80 - 250 questions. Mine (taken 11/03) was one of the first to start using fill-ins. I had one or two....easy enough though. They just told you what the patient drank in...

  8. Anxiety over NCLEX-PN! Help me!

    Chel replied to allscrubs's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Firstly, congrats on making it through. Secondly, breathe. I used the Saunders NCLEX PN too. Read the rationals ~ they'll help you understand why the answer is right...and why the other's are not....

  9. Med-surg vs. LTC (new LPN needs advice!)

    Chel replied to michelle-new-lpn's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Yep. This LTC facility sounds more like the one I just left. One side had 36 residents, the other had 56. You didn't stop on the larger side. You didn't run as much on the side with 36 residents, but...

  10. Bossy CNA's in LTC(long)

    Chel replied to jaimemds's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I agree. Nursing assistants work their tails off. The long term care facilities I've worked at usually have a ratio of 1 nursing assistant to 10 - 15 patients, depending on the needed level of care....

  11. LPN2005 Magazine

    Chel replied to MiaLyse's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I subscribed to it...just haven't received a copy yet. I found the subscription card in Nursing 2004 magazine. If it turns out to be a good magazine, positive feedback might result in 12 issues...

  12. Getting Cold Feet

    Chel replied to fancydreams's topic in General Nursing

    Don't think about the next three years. Just concentrate on the classes you're taking at the time. If you want something bad enough, you'll find a way to make it happen...there's always a way. Going...
