    Am I in violation of code of ethics?

    OrganizedChaos replied to Nursey916's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Am I in violation of code of ethics?

    OrganizedChaos replied to Nursey916's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I can't read all the comments but I will agree with most of them. I can't even fathom bringing a patient to my house. Have I felt bad for one? Yes? But have I ever wanted to bring one to my house? Oh...

    LPN VS. BSN

    OrganizedChaos replied to FutureNurseKali's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I got my LVN first & as with the PP said intended to get my RN right after. But I kept putting it off & now it seems I don't know when I'll be going back (personal reasons). But I hope to one...

    OrganizedChaos replied to yoyobella900's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Do people not realize this is a *public* forum & their professors might be on the same forum? I do not know of one professor who would say it would be ok to "interview" a nurse from the internet....

    Yeah you NEED to know Spanish! I never went as far as McAllen (I stopped at Robstown & Kingsville). But even there knowing Spanish is a must. If you're planning on moving I would start studying...

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

    I thought about it & due to the nature of my husband's job it would be best to keep my license active. I would hate for something to happen to him then have to jump through a million hoops to try...
