    LPN vs RN? Not as clinical as society thinks?

    nursel56 replied to downsouthlaff's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Well I just returned from a research jaunt and I think you are right about the antibiotics as of at least 2004. It's not easy to pin down specifics as the LVN Nurse Practice Act doesn't delve into...

    In Support of Independent NP Practice

    nursel56 replied to Corey Narry's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Curious about this concept of "role resistance" but I searched both regular Google and Google Scholar and didn't find anything. Can you point me in the right direction here? Also curious - if the...

    LPN vs RN? Not as clinical as society thinks?

    nursel56 replied to downsouthlaff's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    It's best if people check their state's scope of practice for the most accurate information on the differences. In California, LVNs can become IV-certified and administer medications other than IVP,...

    LPN vs RN? Not as clinical as society thinks?

    nursel56 replied to downsouthlaff's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Great post, Commuter! People might want to take a look at how nurses are educated in Canada, as their system is somewhat different from that in the US. Downsouthlaff, I just reread your post and...

    Should I be upset?

    nursel56 replied to Rags2Riches RN's topic in General Nursing

    Unfortunately prospective employers are really under no obligation to consider the sacrifices we make in order to be present for an interview. Anger and disappointment are natural feelings but...

    Any ADN-BSN programs without ridiculous papers?

    nursel56 replied to adnrnstudent's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I think it's a little different when someone is already a nurse (he is an ADN) so it's likely he has some familiarity with the foundations of the nursing process, concepts of caring and trust,...

    Can someone please give me some advice, some direction. I feel like a failure.

    nursel56 replied to snazzy-jazzy's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I think our temperament plays a role, too. At least in mine. Your boss has demonstrated her pattern of how she deals with being short-staffed and her attitude toward those who don't adapt to her...

    Has anyone made a medication error and *not* get fired for it?

    nursel56 replied to pinkiepieRN's topic in Patient Medications

    I know two nurses who made life-threatening errors and neither was fired. The idea is to create an atmosphere where nurses aren't afraid of being fired and thus share honestly the circumstances that...

    Unemployment benefits - am I eligible???

    nursel56 replied to JoyOriente's topic in Nursing Career

    The criteria for getting unemployment benefits in my state is basically when you lose your job through no fault of your own, so I would imagine you would qualify, but the only way to find out is to...

    Member of ANA: Can I ask you 7 questions?

    nursel56 replied to noyesno's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Though some state affiliates have parted ways with the ANA. The California Nurses Association did that and is now allied with National Nurses

    Lying to new clients!?

    nursel56 replied to TmC1999's topic in Home Health

    As one who is severely allergic to animals I can tell you that dander is very hard to completely get rid of. In some people it doesn't take much to trigger a reaction. I think you owe it to the...

    Low GPA, should I get it up or go for LPN?

    nursel56 replied to stephanie30's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    That RN program sounds like a great find! Really points out the value of thorough research ahead of time. All the best to you and your family as you start the road to eventually becoming a nurse...

    Returning to Nursing after Burn Out

    nursel56 replied to Barb61's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    When I re-entered nursing after time away I decided not to close any doors that were possibly open and I went to every interview, even some I was skeptical about because of what I envisioned the job...

    I need HELPP with uniform!

    nursel56 replied to PreciousD's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Congrats to all of you starting LPN school! My question is have you received any sort of mailing regarding the dress code? Reason I ask is that there may be some more stringent guidelines once you...

    So why even bother with getting an RN?

    nursel56 replied to netglow's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think MAs have a scope of practice. In California you can be an MA without ever attending any type of training, you do what you are trained to do by the doctor and work under their...

    Can an LPN continue working at there old job as a CNA

    nursel56 replied to downsouthlaff's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    The best place to find information on that, I have found to be state government departments of public health, such as the Department of Public Health in Illinois or the Department of Aging and...

    Why do some nurses use their titles as a big ego boost?

    nursel56 replied to Hellostudentnurssee's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    To be honest with you unless she used a sarcastic tone I don't see anything wrong with what she said. As far as whether someone should be allowed to express an opinion that's been expressed before...

    So why even bother with getting an RN?

    nursel56 replied to netglow's topic in General Nursing

    Two things specifically mentioned in California that an MA can't do. Assessments and telephone triage. If anybody is interested this is a pretty comprehensive site to get an idea of how they are...

    How Do You Know When It's Time to Hang It Up?

    I think any job where you are responsible not only for your own results but those of other people has the crazy built right in. There are people who thrive in environments like that. Some of us are...
