  1. Friend of Nurse

    PharmGuy replied to Friend of Nurse's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Oh for heavens sakes! How long has she been not practicing? Did she have trouble with the NCLEX the first time or breeze through? Good luck to you

  2. Friend of Nurse

    PharmGuy replied to Friend of Nurse's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Perhaps the BON needs proof she attended/passed LPN school whenever that was. My dean had to send proof to the BON, which then sent the OK to Pearson Vue, who then sent me the

  3. Anything else I can do besides bedside nursing?

    PharmGuy replied to neuron's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I'm a plasmapheresis Nurse in a plasma donation/processing center. The position is called a Physician Substitute (Phys Sub for short) according to the FDA and involves the intake, assessment, and...

  4. Bookbag for nursing school?

    PharmGuy replied to abarreto's topic in General Students

    It really depends on your program and how they teach. My instructors assumed we had all our texts with us all the time and were disappointed if we couldn't pull one out at a moment's notice. Lectures...

  5. How old is too old to safely practice?

  7. What did you use to record lectures?

    PharmGuy replied to emilye_03's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Does your program have the lectures/powerpoints available online? We found that to be a lifesaver! I would download the slides in "handout" format 3 per page with a space for notes. I could take my...

  8. Should Our Study Group Allow a Failing Student to Join?

    PharmGuy replied to WellThatsOod's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I wasn't going to comment on this, but the more I thought about it the more it bothered me, so here goes: Nursing is a collaborative profession - there is no room for lone wolves and we all have times...

  9. "Just" a CNA?!

    PharmGuy replied to AliceTrout's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I hope I don't sound *too* delusional if I say I *never* think of myself as "just a CNA" - even if other people think that of me. I'm proud of the role I play in trying to make what is often a really...
