[COLOR=#000000]I'm currently in a new job and saw a chest tube inserted in the ED. All that was used for this patient was Ativan &a Lidocaine (pre-procedure). About halfway through this patient was in excruciating pain so a nurse pushed for an or...
Thanks for your input! This was definitely a very stable patient who presented to our ED with chest congestion which ended up being a pneumo. There was definitely time to get some meds on board.
Poop in general I can handle. But poop seeping out of a colostomy bag? That's another story. It's got it's own brand of stench and I can barely get through cleaning it up without hurling! On another side of things... I am a new nurse and my current p...
I live about 30 minutes away from my school. I would have considered a school an hour away though. I start in 3 weeks! But I have commuted 45 minutes to another school before. I use the longer commute to wake up a bit more, drink my coffee, and relax...
Sorry you had to change, but that's exciting that you know that you are in for April! Not yet... I turned my application in Wednesday and they said I should find out in about a week. So I'm anxiously waiting!
I use StudyBlue. It's free, online flashcards. You can also download the app to your phone to take your flashcards on the go. It allows me to spend less type physically writing out flashcards and more time studying them.

Today is your first day! Please come back and update us when it's over :). I haven't started LPN school yet (hopefully in April), but I have taken Anatomy and Physiology and classes like that. I used an online flashcard program to help me study. It's...
Hey Jade! I am unable to send private messages so I figured I would reply to you on here. I've done my entrance exams and my information session. I did the drug test and background check last week. I keep trying to go turn in all my application mater...
Hey! I finished my entrance exams and did the information session. I'm turning in my application Wednesday when the school reopens from this snow storm. Have you done anything more yet?
Hi everyone! I am currently looking into LPN programs near Cleveland, OH for next spring or fall. One that I am really interested in is CSPN in Independence. I've heard they have a good reputation. Also, theirs is the class starting the soonest aroun...
I am currently looking into it! I am taking a tour of the school on Monday and getting ready to sign up for the entrance exam. Are you already admitted into the program?
