    RVN: Registered Veterinary Nurse, what do you think?

    Pangea Reunited replied to AllisonLeighLVT's topic in General Nursing

    I worked as an unlicensed veterinary technician in an emergency animal hospital when I was younger. The technicians with formal schooling typically worked with research animals instead of companion...

    How likely is it for me to get into St.Phillips LVN program is I scored low on the TEAS?

    Pangea Reunited replied to tguedea's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    If it's St. Phillips in San Antonio, my best guess would be "not likely". When they wait-listed students, the wait list was over two years long. That's how I became an RN instead of an LVN. It was...

    RN School is Awful

    Pangea Reunited replied to Bigwave108's topic in General Students

    I can agree with you to a point. I've had some good teachers, but I've also had some who seemed to hate themselves and everyone else. I'm too lazy to give examples at the moment, but I do

    Why do nurses.....

    Pangea Reunited replied to offlabel's topic in General Nursing

    I think it's a little nutty, too. Maybe they are proud have having worked their way up or want to let others on the site with different credentials know that they've "been there". Pangea Reunited,...

    Pangea Reunited replied to Cola89's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I'd need it put in context to know how to respond. I play pretty rough with some of the people I work with. We're tight, but you'd think we hated each other if you didn't know any

    Best practices: Controlled substance handling

    Pangea Reunited replied to c3poshideout's topic in Patient Medications

    I would have just asked another nurse to waste with me. In fact, I frequently do under those circumstances. Unless both nurses are there when the vial is opened, and the waste is discarded and...

    Nursing School Blues

    Pangea Reunited replied to B-I-J-O-U-X's topic in General Students

    If someone is failing every exam, regardless of the reason, they're far from "solid". Honest feedback in not inappropriate, even though it may not feel good to hear. Some people really are better off...

    11 years ago, positive UDS, can I get a job?!

    Pangea Reunited replied to SNRN2BE's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Some of what you wrote seems contradictory and confusing. Like this part: "I'm afraid of being accused and found guilty again for a crime, I didn't commit. I have official military documents proving...

    HOW to Pass NCLEX, KAPLAN and Saunders, NCLEX 2016

    Pangea Reunited replied to baharehm's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I went to Disneyland right after graduation. Beyond that, I looked at one review book for ten minutes while I waited for a rental car. I was no A student, either. I think it's actually possible to...

    I'm not sure what that might be equivalent to. Is there a state you're interested in, in particular? The state's BON website might have some useful information or a phone number you could call if...

    Female vs male patients

    Pangea Reunited replied to qaz99's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Males tend to have trouble voiding in old age, where as females tend to void a lot and be incontinent. Aside from that, I can't say I've noticed differences that make one sex more difficult to take...

    Doctors answering services
