  1. Coworker is Innappropriate

    LittleCandles replied to missnurse89's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Why are you engaging this woman if she's rude to you? You don't continue to poke a bear when it bite your hand off the first time. If someone is always being rude when you state your opinion that's...

  2. How do I check BON for my license?

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

    Check your states online licensing list? I know Michigan will post your number within a few days of passing the exam. It's in our states

  3. Mispronunciations That Drive You Nuts

    LittleCandles replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    I haven't had anything like this happen to me but I had an instructor who took a call from someone wanting her "peanut butter ball" refilled.

  4. 2.2gpa - need advice

    LittleCandles replied to Natasha A.'s topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Even if you plan on going to do RN after LVN you'll want to retake the science classes. I think you'll need a better grade in those anyway for LVN program as well

  5. 2.2gpa - need advice

    LittleCandles replied to Natasha A.'s topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Personally, I would retake any class I got less then a B

  6. People confusing and mixing titles

    LittleCandles replied to NeoNatMom's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Here is how I feel... It is completely and utterly disrespectful to represent yourself as a nurse or anything you are not, for that matter. You did not work your tail off, take an exam, and become...

  7. People confusing and mixing titles

    LittleCandles replied to NeoNatMom's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

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

  10. get kicked off because of med error

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

    We are not allowed at clinical sites without an instructor either. We also could not pass meds without instructor or a nurse with us. That is the state

  11. Do LPNs use stethoscopes?

    LittleCandles replied to futurerpn4lfe's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Yes but a Pt could tug on it or an unstable Pt could try to use it to strangle

  12. Do LPNs use stethoscopes?

    LittleCandles replied to futurerpn4lfe's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    A nurse shouldn't be wearing one. They shouldn't ever ever ever be around your neck. CNAs use them... Why wouldn't a LPN/LVN

  13. Rant:How NOT to be a nurse

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

    Isn't it neglect to withhold call bells and leave a pt who is unstable on the toilet for so long? I would report that.... Like yesterday. I'm sorry your grandmothers going through this

  14. Should I go to pinning?

    LittleCandles replied to DeepBreath's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I'm going and the only out of pocket expense is I have to buy my own white scrubs. If I had to pay 150 I wouldn't

  15. Do the CNAs or RNs do personal care

    LittleCandles replied to RNtobe23's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Everyone is suppose to... Suppose to... But... I know some nurses in LTC that feel that's beneath them and will make CNAs do

  16. Running out of time...

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

    It all depends on you. I am bridging. I am doing my LPN so I could get a feel for if this is REALLY the career choice I wanted, I did not want to waste 4 years and all that money to decide nursing...

  17. Does your hospital or facility badge include your credentials?

    LittleCandles replied to icuRNmaggie's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    This was

  18. Too dumb to be a nurse?

    LittleCandles replied to MikeDee1234's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Patient Care

  19. Too dumb to be a nurse?

    LittleCandles replied to MikeDee1234's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Practice practice practice... Seriously. Go home and write the steps down over and over again. It isn't easy. No lie but the more you do it the easier it gets. Have some

  20. What are the REAL limitations between an RN AND a LPN?

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

    LPN's here cannot start IV lines, we cannot give medications through IV lines, we cannot do medicaid/medicare things

  21. get kicked off because of med error

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

    Where was your instructor? I feel like she/he should have noticed it. I mean, you are working under their Licence. Kind of crazy they didn't notice. I also feel bad they kicked you out for a med error...

  22. LPN to RN

    LittleCandles replied to Fahrenheit's topic in LPN to RN

    I am in my last month of my PN program and we were told to avoid all online LPN-RN programs. A lot of them are not accredited in most states. I also was told that a lot of employers won't take it....

  23. So is ADN- RN really a waste of time?

    LittleCandles replied to mzsuccess's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Nurses, LPN, ADN, BSN, MSN.... They are all needed somewhere. The people who usually say they aren't, are not even in the nursing

  24. No Money For School

    LittleCandles replied to fluffybunny7542's topic in School, College Programs

    I would go to a CC. I just paid an arm and leg for my LPN and I think to finish out my schooling to get my BSN. I am going to use pell grants, any scholarships and pay out of pocket. So to save as...

  25. confused about PRN use

    LittleCandles replied to sassyann85's topic in Psychiatric

    Well, I personally would probably give haldol first and if their anxiety still continues give Ativan. If they're hearing voices that would probably give them anxiety and if we resolve that the anxiety...
