  1. Am I in violation of code of ethics?

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

    I know I know.. I was saying the company goes after the nurse legally if we

  2. Could an RN answer these 4 questions I need for a class paper?

    LittleCandles replied to ambernicole0202's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    These are questions you have to ask a RN? They seem like questions you're suppose to research and write a paper on. Nice

  3. Am I in violation of code of ethics?

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

    I feel like you could be. When I worked in detox we couldn't even say hi if we saw a client at the grocery store, we could actually go to jail if we got caught talking to an old client. (The client...

  4. Help! I look young!

    LittleCandles replied to hella_RN's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Wow.. That was pretty rude. Anyway- looking and being a young nurse is a disadvantage and it sucks when patients/families/coworkers/doctors ect ect do not take you seriously. I have CNAs who think...

  5. To tell or not to tell!

    LittleCandles replied to XNavyCorpsman's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    One of the first things I was told when I started working as a nurse was "do not tell on the other nurses, we have your back as long as you have ours. If upper management come and ask questions don't...

  6. How is NCLEX scored 2 times?

    LittleCandles replied to Tonks57's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I think someone goes over it and they do it because computers can miss things and they're checking to make sure the answer you choose is in fact the intended correct or incorrect

  7. How Often Do You Check...?

    LittleCandles replied to flashpoint's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I didn't mean to thank your comment. So what would happen if you did not hold those 3 times in 4 months? The patient tanked? Died? Then

  8. To tell or not to tell!

    LittleCandles replied to XNavyCorpsman's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Couldn't you have shut the computer if you saw it up? Could you not have said "oh I'll stay by the cart since the meds are still out?"... How much of a Pt advocate are you when you get all the nurses...

  9. nclex-pn

    LittleCandles replied to katdoug's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    PVT trick but it's not how it works anymore, you go to reregister, pay with a card that has less then 200 dollars (has to be a valid card tho) and if it declines the card due to funds you failed if it...

  10. How Often Do You Check...?

    LittleCandles replied to flashpoint's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    It sounds like your new DON is trying to keep people alive by not giving them insulin when their BS is low and BP meds when their BP is low. It sounds like it's working bc you had to hold those a few...

  11. verbal job offer, orientation set, no paper work

    LittleCandles replied to grammy57's topic in General Nursing

    Have you... You know...

  12. How to pay for school?

    LittleCandles replied to nickimarie93's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Yea, I understand what you're saying. Luckily nobody I knew who graduated had issues getting a job. I think the faking grades were the online associates they were offering in other programs. I was...

  13. How to pay for school?

    LittleCandles replied to nickimarie93's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    This all happened while I was in school and the BON and DOE made a deal to let us finish school. It wasn't the eduction it was forging of documents. That'd be a lot of LPNs they'd suspend if that were...

  14. When should I start a family?

    LittleCandles replied to nyc2011's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Oh and you're not even close to advance maternial age so I don't think you have much to worry about. You can get your fertility tested but I don't think that's necessary unless you're actively trying....

  15. When should I start a family?

    LittleCandles replied to nyc2011's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I find this post funny. When I was deciding to have my kids (actually... Out of my 5 kids I've planned one soooo nvm) I never thought.. Huh... I should ask a bunch of random internet nurses if I...

  16. LVNs, please- advice needed!

    LittleCandles replied to nurseratchit7's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Accusation doesn't mean it necessarily happened, my guess is he has to go through the whole steps that BON sets up and "if he's found innocent" they'd take it off his license. I could be wrong but the...

  17. No Scrubs Allowed.. opinions??

    LittleCandles replied to Nurse4892's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I'm 27 and with scrubs, being behind the nurses station or behind my cart, and with my name tag saying "LPN charge nurse" I am always assumed to be a CNA and some of my coworkers who are CNAs are...

  18. How to pay for school?

    LittleCandles replied to nickimarie93's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    My former school is being sued for unlawful loan practices. So far 40% has been forgiven but rumor has it the rest will be forgiven soon. I went to a school which got shut down by the DOE for faking...

  19. Got the bad Pvt trick :(

    LittleCandles replied to bianna's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Yes this, how did you enter it in? I thought I got the bad popup but I didn't enter it in at first. Also you're not suppose to do the PVT until 24 hours later because your test gets scored twice. Make...

  20. How to pay for school?

    LittleCandles replied to nickimarie93's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I've already done the program and owe the 33k. It is what it is. Luckily for me a good portion is being forgiven due to my schools status. I had no issues though. I have 4 kids and needed to get...

  21. Background Checks

    LittleCandles replied to hmgnrse's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    That's something you should ask your school. You can call anonymously and ask a general question. "Will a charge from when I was 15 for a terrorist threat disqualify me from the program." Honestly my...

  22. How to not Fail/Get kicked out/Get bullied?

    LittleCandles replied to happyinmyheart's topic in General Students

    Don't do anything you're not suppose to. It's not hard up not get kicked out. In regards to failing. Do your best, study study study.. Tutors if you need them. Instructors bullying you.. Go to school,...

  23. How to pay for school?

    LittleCandles replied to nickimarie93's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    No wait lists, some of us couldn't wait 3 years to get into an one year program and will pay

  24. How to pay for school?

    LittleCandles replied to nickimarie93's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I paid 33k for my LPN, I also got a job within 2 weeks of my Licence, I also went to a school that got shut down for fraud. Soooo I think the "can you get a job" comments are irrelevent. Granted I...

  25. How to pay for school?

    LittleCandles replied to nickimarie93's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Here we can get up to two 600 payday loans, but yes the interest rates are huge. But I was thinking she could get it, then pay it down, like pay the 600 and take out another 550 ect ect ect.. But idk...
