I guess my only question is was the student asked to call the family by the patient? If s/he was, is it still a HIPPA violation? Dot

Hello- I am a new LPN and have my first interview tomorrow at an ALF. Do you think that a new nurse can successfully work at an ALF. From all that I've read, this is exactly the type of environment I want to work in. It seems to involve so much mo...

Hi- I took the PN yesterday...shut off at 85...just in the middle of filling out the survey and the power for the building went out...they said at the test center that this had never happened before...figures!...we had to sit in the parking lot for 4...

HI I am using this now and I don't find it particularly useful. It's ok as a bare bones review but I am finding that some of the answers are incorrect...starts to make me question myself. The one good thing...I am only doing the 3 week program I ha...

HI- I am in my final term. The director of the program told the top 5 students who they were at the end of the first term. I was #1. The pressure that I have felt to maintain that status is incredible (it doesn't help that some students are being ...

Just started 2nd term--classes 2 days clinical 3. It seems like everything is being jammed in. (ex. exam next week on COPD, Diabetes, Peptic Ulcer--these diseases were taught over 1-1.5 days) I feel like I am not absorbing:uhoh3: or remembering anyt...

Thanks for the posts. I think I was feeling very overwhelmed; not just with school but we just moved to a new home in a different state (I am now about 1 hr away from my school and 2 hours from clinical). I had a couple of tests and actually did ok!...

Hi- I had my orientation about a month ago. It was very welcoming. They provided a continental breakfast while the instructors introduced themselves. We then had to introduce ourselves. We were given the handbook for the program...had a couple of p...

Hello All- I am a radiographer/mammographer...have been one for 21+ years. I have made the decision to leave xray because I want more patient contact (hopefully will be going to LPN school) Let me set the record straight: I was employed in a private...

I am going for my interview on April 26. What were some of the questions you were asked? I took the TEAS and got 91 percentile national. I guess that's ok. Anyways, just looking for some advice etc. Dot
