    New Grad Leaving Hospital for Office Job

    NursieNurseLPN replied to IcySageNurse's topic in Nursing Career

    "I'm too young for a living will"

    NursieNurseLPN replied to somenurse's topic in General Nursing

    You can buy a living will at staples right? And then have it notarized? Or do you have to go through a lawyer/doctor? Forgive my ignorance. Mmm im thinking this may be an extra christmas present for...

    The Slow Code: Justified?

    NursieNurseLPN replied to TheCommuter's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    It is not our job to decide who to save or not save. We are to carry out our patients' wishes to the best of our ability. Maybe i am naive because i am a brand new nurse, but my god i hope i never...

    why did you pick the speciality you are in?

    NursieNurseLPN replied to wish_me_luck's topic in General Nursing

    Dosage question ;)

    NursieNurseLPN replied to Kkccsr's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Answer i believe would be 2ml. You use 1gr is to 60mg. So if it says 1/300 you would divide 60into 300 which equals 0.2. So 0.4mg is to x ml as 0.2 is to 1ml. 0.2x=0.4, 0.4 divided by 0.2 equals 2. I...

    Frustrated job searching!!

    NursieNurseLPN replied to T-Bird78's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Try typing in medical assistant instead. Some of these offices are willing to hire an lpn but itll be for less pay. Also, most places do not advertise their positions. I find most of the ads for lpns...
