  1. Accreditation

    Up north meaning Pennsylvania where I was accepted into an accelerated LPN to BSN Program at LaSalle University which has regional accreditation. Pasco Hernando is also regionally accredited in both ADN and their new BSN program. Regional accredita...
  2. Accreditation

    Well that's funny. I just bridged into Pasco Hernando State College (Wesley Chapel Florida) from LPN to RN. My Practical Nursing Degree was 28 years ago from a school that is now closed. (Although it was an excellent program), It was not accredited...
  3. Merry Christmas, Little Angel

    After 18 years in Pediatric subacute and home care....i can definitely affirm that this story is nit unusual. I remember one such case at least 12 years ago of a little angel I held and rocked for hours. She was Iranian, failure to thrive, NG fee...
  4. I think we are all missing the point here. I understand that everyone thinks they know the "right answer to this dilemma." Did anyone stop and think that all this is, is an assignment. Her instructor could have simply stated to her that she should...
  5. I hate nursing

    I think I can offer some of my feelings. I was a nurse for 26 years and was fairly happy until my last year. I was sick of the stress etc . As fate would happen i got hurt at work and was on disability for the last 5 years. I make enough on SSDI...
  6. PHSC 2017 Spring Nursing Hopefuls

    Mine hasn't. Do we have to go in and talk to an advisor to have it changed? I assume that when we bring our completed packets in is when we actually register for classes. I'm so nervous I'm going to forget one little thing.

  10. Agism in nursing?

    I am sorry for all who have been through discrimination. The problem is that it seems that no one is ever called out on it. I don't think it's even wise that you were working in the same unit as your DH (regardless if you worked different hours etc...
  11. Going back to school at 30

    Oh you are so funny. I have been an LPN for 28 years. I am now 51 years old and going back for my RN finally. I was accepted into a LPN-RN bridge program at the State College for this January. Your never too old until you feel too old.

  13. PHSC 2017 Spring Nursing Hopefuls

    I was accepted into January 2017, Porter Campus for LPN to RN transition. I will be taking a sweet ride down to the West Campus and accepting the offer in person on Monday morning. I am so happy. I took my TEAS once and this is my first applicati...
  14. PHSC 2017 Spring Nursing Hopefuls

    I'm in the same boat. Except I've been an LPN for 28 years. I'm crossing fingers and toes. :)
  15. PHSC 2017 Spring Nursing Hopefuls

    West campus starts in the fall, correct?
  16. Well looking at just words on a page is easy and from the limited knowledge of the patient it would be hard to tell if there is PAD or PVD. From just the description, I would elevate the extremity. She is 35 years old and homeless. Many homeless g...
  17. PHSC 2017 Spring Nursing Hopefuls

    I am. I have been an LPN for 28 years. It's now or never at this point.
  18. PHSC 2017 Spring Nursing Hopefuls

    I would have like to have known how many were transitions and how many just for Porter Campus. I am waiting for an important phone call or I would call now. My new puppy constantly barks when I get on the phone also.

    Received mine last Thursday
  20. This is no different than when a preprinted MAR is sent to a facility from a Pharmacy. If your supervisor is that nitpicky, then she would have to write up the Pharmacy for every entry you have to discontinue manually on the MAR. As long as it was...

  24. Forced to get flu shot or wear a mask

    To play devils advocate here. Yes I believe in herd immunity and vaccination. A condition of employment, fine. BUT if it is a condition of employment, you get the vaccine and say you go into anaphylaxis or get Guillian Barre, or worse ,will your em...
  25. dealing with rude doctors?

    What do you do with patient's that "can't get to the point," Are you this inpatient with them as well? I have learned many lessons about communication that you obviously have not. People who have problems waiting for "the point," often miss other ...
