I Know in most states you will not be able to work as a CNA if you have an LPN license

I know depending on the hospital they have "pumping rooms" im pretty sure memorial sloan kettering and other big name hospitals ecourage/support it

I do understand where you are comming from, I once oriented on a case (that I didnt take) because the mom had hired help for EVERYTHING, a nurse for her son a nanny for her daughter, an assistant type woman who did cooking/cleaning/shopping and this ...

i could not agree with this more! I started off as a new grad LPN in a nursing home because although I have always wanted to do peds i was discouraged by everyone thats LPNs esp. New grads do not work in peds! I was a nurse for about 8 months when I ...

Why did you become a nurse if you dont "love people" ? Do you love to help or care for people? I am asking this because many of times i find that prior classmates, coworkers ect who are nurses because its "good money" or a stable job usually have ***...

I work for preffered. They have classes before they let you go on a case and they also orient u atleast 3 full days before they let you on your own, because i have vent/trach exp i passed the exam with 1 wrong so i did not have to take the classes. T...

Jersey College in Ramsey has a full time 15 mo LPN to RN and you dont need to retake a&p if you had it in your LPN program. Holy Name in Teaneck also offers it but you will need your pre reqs. mulhenberg, and trinitas are also other options besid...

Ok, so i work as a PCT in a NJ hospital on a BUSY unit. I am currently 1/2 way thru LPN school and plan to bridge to my RN. I had a nurse on my unit ask me why I want to be a "little pretend nurse" and why I didnt just go straight into RN school. I c...

and BTW, I work as a PCT in the hospital, I get only TWO BREAKS in my 8 hr shift, a 15 minute and an 30 min lunch, I NEVER take more breaks than that ESPECIALLY to go smoke. My PTS come first, and I wear a PPE gown to go outside and smoke and shoe co...

Some replys on here are really out of hand! Everyone has their vice, weather is smoking, drinking, eating unhealthy foods, tanning, ect. To say that a person can or cannot smoke while they are not at work is ridiculous. I dont understand why no one s...

I dont think anyone should assume someone is in scrubs so they just got off work; sometimes after class when I was in the night program for LPN wed have a final or HESI and go to chilis or somewhere and have a drink to celebrate.in our ALL white scru...

Hmmm. You can choose things like religion so how is smoking different?

I think alot of people have hit the nail on the head, currently as a nursing student i hear ALOT of my peers saying they wont work here or there. As a new nurse TAKE WHAT YOU CAN being picky, isnt going to land you a job. It is much easier to get a j...

Personally, If i was you id look into a part time program. Not only will it give you more important time with family, but theres nothing worse than being stressed about school AND money. Also part time gives u more time to really focus on classe inst...

this is very true; i am in LPN school now and my instructors do not reflect to students how the real world is, as LPNs we will have to do a med pass on 20-50 patients in a nursing home, sorry you do not have time to "crush each med seperately" when y...

HMMM... On the other end; did you ever think that the "know it alls" happen to spend hours studying or have been doing things for a long time? Perhaps they have degrees in a related field. You would be suprised how much a PCT; EMT; PARAMEDIC or CNA k...

it depends if you are taking ADN for LPN or RN; for LVN you will take NCLEX PN ; for RN you will take NCLEX RN. You must continue to bridge LPN;RN;BSN;MSN

You may not LIKE being a CNA somedays. We all have those days, BUT being a CNA before nursing school gives a big advantage when you start nursing school. The first clinical in nursing school you will have is usually doing CNA work Nd learning AM care...

Day shift is CRAZY period. CNAs have a tough job but its way harder to be a nurse! Although it sucks now you'll get better; BUT u do need to use common sense. When your a CNA you may have 10-15 pts on your assigment and you have 3 hours to get them a...

This was a very good article. I do understand the "nurses eat their young" its the same in MOST healthcare. When I was a fresh MA; or CNA in LtC.. also now that I am a PCT in a hospital & in LPN school. I have alot of new nurses on the unit and i...

I dont understand it either! I am a PCT in a hospital and I am currently in LPN school, during my PCT orientation I had girls who were RN students and asked me WHY I was taking pharm?! I asked them how did they not take it and they told me "teachers ...
