  1. First Job

    LPNer replied to pippy's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    In the movie, Adam Sandler was a water boy and this guy said "You can do it!" It was very funny and looses some of the if you aren't familiar with the movie. Your situation is not funny by any means,...

  2. Need help with delegation question

    LPNer replied to nursepotter05's topic in General Nursing

    oops, misunderstood what was said until I reread it. Think I will take my post

  3. Need help with delegation question

    LPNer replied to nursepotter05's topic in General Nursing

    After I got done wondering why the 7p - 7a shift didn't take care of the insulin as is routine at all the hospitals around here, I actually gave the scenario some thought. Don't worry about the trays,...

  4. Bad Habits Nurses Develop

    LPNer replied to Debbie_LPN's topic in General Nursing

    Couldn't have said that better myself! Though not in the context of this thread, this also reminds me of years ago if the super heard you refer to a pt as "room 662" she would have wore your ears out...

  5. Male Chest Hair and Scrub Tops

    LPNer replied to Thunderwolf's topic in General Nursing

    Isn't that the truth! I thought it was just me since I am getting to old to look young anymore. LOL Maybe not, I justm ight have been right about thinking they all look, or try to look 12. WOW, what...

  6. First Job

    LPNer replied to pippy's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I am so curious about why it has taken 3 years to take your first job, but you didn't say and I will consider it too personal for here. I have noticed in my life that most peoples fears are of their...

  7. trying to cope

    LPNer replied to ajlpn32's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Just a thought. Have you stopped and thought just long enough to the contraints that the DON (or temporary DON) is working under? It's easy to try to speak up and offer resolutions to issues you work...

  8. CNA's slow me down

    LPNer replied to Mandylpn's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    The CNAs already are doing these things, it's their job. Seems to me "everybody" gets such a power trip on this delegation thing and it really is a bunch of bolony. How can you delegate something to...

  9. Can an LPN from Canada work as LPN in USA?

    LPNer replied to LPN_of_BC's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Yes, BON is board of Nursing. Each state has their own and the regulations vary greatly even between neighboring

  10. Can I challenge the RN boards?

    LPNer replied to jodyangel's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I have checked on a bunch of states BON sites and all that I looked at require graduating from an approved school. That means not an LPN school but an RN school for the NCLEX-RN and LPN school for the...

  11. Not a real nurse??

    LPNer replied to xmaxiex's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I have reread your frustration many times since you first posted it. I have read the responses and I have to admit, I am still at a loss. What state are you in? I can only think it has something to...

  12. Can an LPN from Canada work as LPN in USA?

    LPNer replied to LPN_of_BC's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Check the website for the BON in states you are thinking of moving to, they will be able to tell you if your school is recognized as accredited by them. I've worked with nurses from other countries...

  13. Thinking of quitting with only 4 months to go because of clinical anxiety

    LPNer replied to Diane M's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I know it is so easy for us to say, calm down, hang in there, etc etc etc. BUT! Do hang in there, you know the material needed to apply to clinicals. You need to sit down and make a list of why you...

  14. Devastated!May not be able to start LPN

    LPNer replied to SandyL's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I broke my tailbone 4 or 5 years ( I was mid 40s then) ago, and darn, they still can't do anything for those of us unlucky enough. Bummer! However, in a month you will be much much more able to sit...

  15. LPN working in different state

    LPNer replied to Benedikta's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    WOW, it sure took a long time for your license to come through. We move state to state fairly frequently and I can't ever remember it taking more than 3 or 4 weeks! Can do it in a day if I carry all...

  16. anyone considering going back to school to become an RN?

    LPNer replied to Kirstie04's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    CeCiRN Are you aware of an online program at a college there in Salt Lake City. I heard of them and a friend of mine had some info and lost it. I would love to get in touch with them. If you have any...

  17. Poll: Do you use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer as an adjunct to handwashing?

    LPNer replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    Soap and water can breed germs but is very effective at removing those same germs living on it IF it is used correctly. You must completely rinse with your hands finger down in order to allow the soap...

  18. Poll: Do you use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer as an adjunct to handwashing?

    LPNer replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    I would not think this adequate for the OR. (I assume that is what your are saying, the scrub nurse used the gel sanitizer instead of a traditional scrubbing) The question that comes to my mind is: Is...

  19. Quick Question

    LPNer posted a topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Is it not permitted to reestablish an older thread that one finds interesting? Often times, someone posts something that is not a "hot" topic (in other forums I belong to) that later becomes highly...

  20. Quick Question

    LPNer replied to LPNer's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    It wasn't closed when I posted. I pretty quickly got an email about a post to the same thread. When I went to read it I found a pretty rude statment telling me to look at the date on the original...

  21. Quick Question

    LPNer replied to LPNer's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I guess I should hve been a bit clearer on that. I did post to a thread that had been dormant for a couple of weeks. Pretty quickly a new post came informing me the thread was closed and that I should...

  25. confused on lpn scope of practice

    LPNer replied to EllenRNorman's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    That reminds me of the admission assessment that only RNs can perform in Ohio. Yep, I admit my pt, and sit down to a PC that an RN logs into and put the info in. LOL Then there are the few RNs who...
