  1. Nursing hours

    Archerlpvn replied to elgibb's topic in General Nursing

    If you work private duty home health, some cases are 7-3, 8-4 and sometimes even shorter. In intermittent home health, you can work PRN with several agencies and build your own schedule. There's...

  3. Would you say anything?

    Archerlpvn replied to Ambersmom's topic in General Nursing

    Btw everyone... telling someone that something seems abnormal and that it should be evaluated if it hasn't already, is hardly "diagnosing".. not saying I would involve myself in that way with a...

  4. LPN's aren't real nurses

    Archerlpvn replied to laurennnxo26's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    You mean you can't do all of the same things an Rn can do.. but you can do plenty of the same things like pass most oral Meds, administer some IV solutions, call the doc, provide general to...

  5. LPN using the title of MA

    Archerlpvn replied to Ele_123's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I would say you're a nurse to whom ever needs to know. Though you do much of the same as an MA where you work it seems, you're still the licensed personnel. You're held to a higher standard than that...

  6. "Allow LPNs to challenge the Board of Nursing to obtain RN licensure" viral post

    Archerlpvn replied to TheRuralNurse's topic in General Nursing

    I have been an LPN for almost 5 years now. My experience primarily being in home health, addictions and psych. An LPN isn't equivalent/interchangeable in a lot of setting due to restrictions on our...

  7. Are LPNs the Answer to the RN Shortage in Some Locations?

    Archerlpvn replied to traumaRUs's topic in General Nursing

    I did. Sorry! It's hard to reply accurately sometimes with my tiny phone

  8. Are LPNs the Answer to the RN Shortage in Some Locations?

    Archerlpvn replied to traumaRUs's topic in General Nursing

    Oh really? No theory eh? That's a loaded, bold and absolutely ridiculous statement about LPNs. Idk if you ever went through an LPN program, but I know I did, and theory was definitely a heavy...

  9. Are LPNs the Answer to the RN Shortage in Some Locations?

    Archerlpvn replied to traumaRUs's topic in General Nursing

    That's fine, as an LPN who has practiced in multiple states, often in states with much more restrictive scopes of practice, I know that in general, it is

  10. Are LPNs the Answer to the RN Shortage in Some Locations?

    Archerlpvn replied to traumaRUs's topic in General Nursing

    Texas, while it may have a very "specific" list of what LPNs can and cannot do, still has a very wide scope of practice for LVNs. They can perform focused assessments, IV push certain medications and...

  11. Endorsement Process

    Archerlpvn replied to JenniferDiane's topic in General Nursing

    More than likely, if you graduated from an accredited program, and passed the nclex in one of the 50 states, you'd be elegible for endorsement. Some states have practice requierements though like...

    Archerlpvn replied to mswan's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    24$ per hour at a methodone clinic full time in Denver, Colorado. And 40$ per visit doing part time home visits for a home health agency. 4.5 years experience

  14. License question

    Archerlpvn replied to LTCLPN58's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    That sound terrible and almost unlawful! I have never been asked to relinquish the original copy of anything for "their" safe keeping.. not good. Runaway! Shady nursing practices= no

  15. LVN am i underpaid?

    Archerlpvn replied to helloyou123's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    In general, new nursing employers appreciate staying at least a year. Obviously the longer the better in some regards, but not in your situation, where you're letting yourself get taken a advantage...

  16. LVN am i underpaid?

    Archerlpvn replied to helloyou123's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Yeah 24$ is definitely grossly underpaid for an LVN per diem, non benefited position with no mileage reimbursement. They're making a lot of money from your visits and aren't paying you ****. That's...

  17. IV Therapy Certification

    Archerlpvn replied to Magdis2894's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I didn't think you needed a separate IV certification for NM as an

  18. LPN endorsement to TX.

    Archerlpvn posted a topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Hey there everyone, I'm having a hard time understanding the endorsement process into TX. I've endorsed my license several times before but none of the states have had quite the same language that the...

  19. Home Health

    Archerlpvn replied to atking94's topic in Home Health

    Now that you're in this spot, hopefully there's an agency folder/binder in the home with a hopefully updated 485 aka "plan of care." That will list medications, goals and interventions, diagnosis and...

  20. How useful is an Associates in Health Science

    Archerlpvn replied to jhodge93's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Definitely get your LVN, get nursing experience, and if possible get the degree if you don't have one, it always looks a little better in my opinion since most LPNs don't have them. Good luck

  21. Denver LPN Concorde

    Archerlpvn replied to Ryandoug72's topic in School, College Programs

    Why would you be scared? You'd still be a licensed nurse. If you're afraid of being an LPN, then go straight for your

  22. Does cna experience count?

    Archerlpvn replied to Kaylakayla's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I think if you're in Cali, and you have less than a years licensed experience, then I believe there is still a loop hole so to speak if your employer has like some sort of "new Grad/nurse"...

  23. LPN in VA. How to renew an expired licence?

    Archerlpvn replied to kmd824's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Go to Virginia's board of nursing website and or call the BON, as there is usually a process for reinstatement like verifying that you've been practicing nursing in another state, if not then doing an...

  24. Home health or hospital?

    Archerlpvn replied to callmecrazyRN's topic in General Nursing
