  1. Fingerprinting Problem...Help!

    LPN01112005 replied to JustAnuthaGirl's topic in General Students

    "It was not a drug charge, but assault" BINGO. Some convictions will preclude you from licensure. I believe assault is one of them. You may be able to overcome it with the help of some character...

  2. Question from Nursing 2 Student

    LPN01112005 replied to Nursein2006's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I don't have any advice, but I do want to say that this happens to most everyone. Once, in my med-surg rotation, I couldn't divide 100/4 when put on the spot about a flow rate!!! LOL. My instructor...

  3. "Just an LPN"....does anyone else get discouraged?

    LPN01112005 replied to DeniseLPN's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Your posts convey an arrogance that has no place in any field. Regardless of our educations, we ARE all nurses; and there is a need for us at every level. It's a shame that a fellow nurse could be so...

  5. What are you scoring?? (Kaplan, NCSBN, Mosby CAT)

    LPN01112005 replied to lmcnabbkv's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I used NCSBN Learning Ext. prior to taking the NCLEX-PN last month. I was scoring anywhere from 78-85% on the different tests. On the pretest, I scored 78%. I ended up taking my NCLEX-PN prior to...

  6. Immunization question

    LPN01112005 replied to charleybarley's topic in General Nursing

    I had to have all mine again. I was an older student who was immunized in the 1960's at my pediatrician's office. Well, he's been dead many, many years. The health dept. in the city I grew up in...

  7. Worried Sick

    LPN01112005 replied to mosouth's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I just took and passed the NCLEX-PN with the minimum no. of questions and I felt exactly the same way after I took it. I was confident going into the boards, but it was so unlike what I expected that...

  8. "Just an LPN"....does anyone else get discouraged?

    LPN01112005 replied to DeniseLPN's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Had a similar situation as a student where the family didn't want a student taking care of their mother because they were afraid something would go wrong and I wouldn't be able to handle it. She was...

  9. can anybody answer this?

    LPN01112005 replied to wolf_funk's topic in Pediatric

    Assess is the key word. We were taught in our NCLEX prep class that there are certain key words to look for in your stem and answer choices and assess is one of them. So, I'd go with assess the...

  10. Georgia Correctional Healthcare

    LPN01112005 replied to LPN01112005's topic in Correctional

    I am interested in the central GA area from Macon to McDonough. I live closer to Macon, but wouldn't mind a small commute. Specifically, I was interested in the Diagnostic Center at

  11. How many questions determine whether or not you pass or fail NCLEX-PN?

    LPN01112005 replied to shunda's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Oh, and one more thing. I was able to quick results after 48 hours, and my license number was on the GA SOS website within one week, and my "official results" came in the mail in 10 days, not 4...

  12. How many questions determine whether or not you pass or fail NCLEX-PN?

    LPN01112005 replied to shunda's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    This from the NCSBN pamphlet I received after taking my NCLEX-PN on Jan. 11: QUESTION: What does the number of items I answered tell me about my results?: ANSWER: It is important to understand that...

  13. What percent of clinicals spent doing gross stuff?

    LPN01112005 replied to ER1010's topic in General Students

    Ok, in my nursing home rotation, I spent a great deal of time dealing with what you call the "gross" stuff. On general med-surg rotation, there was quite a bit of this type stuff too, including...

  14. Math Braniac Or No?

    LPN01112005 replied to SKYSTHELIMIT's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    You definitely need to be able to multiply and divide fractions. Once you are out of school, you can use a calculator, but while you are in school you may not be able to use them. Take heart. I was...

  15. LPN or RN?

    LPN01112005 replied to sirena119's topic in Nursing Career

    New LPN here, happy although a little frustrated with what appears to be a confined job market for LPN's in GA, meaning most jobs appear to be in the nursing home or doctor's office. Hospitals do hire...

  16. MA's Calling themselves Nurses

    LPN01112005 replied to usmc94201's topic in General Nursing

    Not all MA's are only trained on the job. Some are trained in technical schools. In GA I've done clinicals in doctors' offices that employ mostly MA's and they DO act as nurses. In fact, they take...

  17. dosage calculation

    LPN01112005 replied to pvfd060's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    proportion is probably the easier way to do the problem, and I think it is the way most people learn, however DA has always been easier for me. People think I'm crazy when I say I always do DA...

  18. dosage calculation

    LPN01112005 replied to pvfd060's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Using dimensional analysis I got 2mg per min. First you have to know that: 2G isoproterenol = 2000 mg mg/min is what you are looking for, so you'd set your equation up as follows: 2000 mg/500ml x...

  19. Phasing out LPN's?????

    LPN01112005 replied to Debbie_LPN's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Yeah, our school told us the same story, HOWEVER, as recent graduates, not one in our class has found a job in a hospital. To my knowledge, no one has a job yet because we were encouraged to start...

  20. LVN Test

    LPN01112005 replied to boobooren's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    My unofficial results were posted online after 48 hours. Cost was $7.99 to get online results. You could call a 900 number for $9.99 to get your results also. Sorry I can't remember what the # is....

  21. Vaboratory values

    LPN01112005 replied to OMG212's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    On NCLEX-PN I had several questions wherein I needed to know certain lab values. Sodium values came up several times, and also normal WBC and Hgb and Hct. I didn't have any questions on alkalosis...

  22. LPN jobs in Georgia

    LPN01112005 replied to Ms.RN's topic in Georgia Nursing

    I'm a frustrated Dec. grad. I've already taken and passed the NCLEX-PN and have a verifiable license no. I graduated with an overall 3.7 GPA (not that that matters to employers), but I haven't even...

  23. need hlep with D.A. on flow rates

    LPN01112005 replied to tnstudentnurse's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    flow rate = ml/hr 800ml/8hr = 100ml/hr = flow rate for electronic pump If you are hanging by gravity and you need to convert to gtt/min, then you'll need the gtt factor of your tubing. Just say that...

  24. When is enough A-NOUGH?

    LPN01112005 replied to Chelle76's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    That gives you a 65% on that particular test. The comprehensive tests at the end of most study guide books are set up to give the proper percentage of test questions from each category of the client...

    LPN01112005 replied to Camouflage's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs
