  1. LVN vs. ADN

    111th replied to jupiter101's topic in First Year After Licensure

    It’s very similar. Same concern just more condensed and less in-depth in the PN

  2. LVN vs. ADN

    111th replied to jupiter101's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Yes, as someone who worked as an LPN before RN, you don’t know what’s different until you know. You cannot give IVP medications, often cannot hang the first IVPB, cannot give blood products,...

  3. LVN vs. ADN

    111th replied to jupiter101's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I went through an 11-month LPN program and then through an 18-month LPN-RN bridge program 2 years later. I thought the LPN program was harder. The NCLEX-PN was much harder than the NCLEX-RN. I...

  4. Galen College of Nursing

    111th posted a topic in School, College Programs

    I wasn't finding any recent information on Galen, so I started a new topic. I met with an adviser and toured Galen College in Tampa a few days ago and am really interested in the school. I would be...

  5. Galen or Baptist?

    111th replied to Lydiam4's topic in School, College Programs

    I went to Galen in Tampa Bay for their bridge program- I had a good experience. A classmate had attended the San Antonio campus for her LPN and thought it was run better. Definitely not cost effective...

  6. Removed from Nurse Residency Program-Should I Try Psych?

    111th replied to dbabz's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I went through an LPN program and an LPN-RN bridge program and I never once learned how to draw blood and I frankly don't even remember it being covered. We did practice IV skills on fake arms in both...

  7. How do you work your three days/nights ?

    111th replied to Hershell's topic in General Nursing

    I would do 3 in a row or 2 on, a few days off and then 1. My hospital just went to block scheduling with one day of manditory OT per pay period. So the schedule is now 3 on, 1 off, 3 on, 3 off, 1 on,...

  8. Second needlestick in 2 weeks

    111th replied to Dreamer323's topic in General Nursing

    I apologize, I typed that incorrectly. I used to work for a clinic who routinely took care of post-exposure patients. It is routine to draw titers for Hep B and C. You can show immunity to Hep B of...

  9. Job Interview after taking time off

    111th replied to rn987654's topic in General Nursing

    Come up with a good reason for taking the time off. If you don't want to explain your own health issues, perhaps you took time off to take care of your ill mother? I took 9 months off after having my...

  10. patient pretending to fall?

    111th replied to LibraNurse27's topic in General Nursing

    People are nuts. í ½í¹„í ½í¹„ You did the right thing though. You have to report facts, which include the patient stating he fell and hit his head. If the patient is AOx4, steady on their...

  11. Second needlestick in 2 weeks

    111th replied to Dreamer323's topic in General Nursing

    The only thing they would do with the new BFE is test this patient. By now you should already know if you are immune to Hep B and C, should be up to date on your Tdap, and know if you are HIV...

  12. medsurg advice

    111th replied to Jmonrose's topic in General Students

    Any review will be beneficial, but I think you might be better off going by your course syllabus and reviewing your class notes/PowerPoints and reading the assigned/correlating chapters in your...

  13. What can I do with my nursing degree?

    111th replied to nishali78's topic in General Nursing

    Are you decent with computers? Maybe a clinical applications analyst/coordinator for IT? Or insurance companies pay well for chart review and you can sit at home in your

  14. Medical Assistant or Straight to BSN?

    111th replied to FlowerAD's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you're looking to get more relevant nursing experience... I think becoming a CNA will get you a lot more exposure and have more flexible hours for nursing school. And at least in Florida....you'd...

  15. Bad popup 2018 need advise!!

    111th replied to Hoping4anRN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I took NCLEX-RN a little over a year ago and had an error when attempting to sign out with my palm as well. The lady told me due to not being able to sign out, she would have to file a routine...

  16. Galen hybrid 2017!

    111th replied to jmacintire153's topic in School, College Programs

    I recently graduated from the hybrid bridge program. Overall I liked the program and fee like I got a good education. What hours do you work M-F? I think there were only 2 people in my cohort that...

  17. Online A&P vs in-Class at Keiser University

    111th replied to hmcnav's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I took theory online with an on-ground lab and preferred it that way. I'd be wary if your lab was online. Will that credit transfer if you go on to get your

  18. Would it be best to be a CNA then an RN?

    111th replied to ART_Princess's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Personally, I gained a lot of experience and realized I really DID want to be a nurse while working as a CNA. If you were seriously considering becoming a CNA because of tuition reimbursement, I...

    111th replied to carabear1028's topic in General Students

    Keep in mind that if you do find a state that will allow you to test as an LPN, you most likely will not be able to get licensure by endorsement for any state that requires you to have graduated from...

  20. Burn Technician vs Nursing Assistant in Mother Baby Unit

    111th replied to dreamerachiever's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    Is there a specific specialty you're hoping to work in once you have graduated nursing school? Sometimes if the unit manager likes you, you are able to be hired on as an RN once you graduate. If it's...

  21. Galen So far

    111th replied to nursehopeful0626's topic in General Students

    Shrimp, if you go on campus there is a bulletin board in the lounge where people post books and whatnot. The student success coordinator also has books to loan out that other students have

  22. Galen So far

    111th replied to nursehopeful0626's topic in General Students

    They register for you the first quarter, but after that you register on your own online. You will be able to pick your clinical dates/sites then. Definitely get all your vaccine info/physical/drug...

  23. Nursing is my passion but I feel like I am too dumb.

    111th replied to Katlin1315's topic in General Nursing

    You're getting a good grade? Keep trucking along! A+P is hard and some of it IS hard to understand. One cool thing about nursing and science is that it all ties together. When you get into your...

  24. Galen College of Nursing Tampa Accreditation

    111th replied to RBlis's topic in School, College Programs

    My overall opinion: "meh." I'm doing to hybrid bridge and it was the best option for me as far as flexibility and no wait. I am in QTR 3 of 6. If you're taking the hybrid, just expect to be teaching...

  25. Being Treated Poorly by an RN

    111th replied to msnikki05's topic in General Students

    My hospital hired sitters who were not CNAs and were unable to even cover the patient up with a blanket if asked (true story). Maybe she was just clarifying that you were a member of the clinical...
