  2. Oklahoma LPN Refresher Course??

    Archerlpvn replied to Ptuck2017's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

  3. Oklahoma LPN Refresher Course??

    Archerlpvn replied to Ptuck2017's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Is your new job prospect in OK? I went to the boards website, and saw the reinstatement link, but it asked I put in info related to my license that I don't have, so i couldn't read any of the...

  4. In desperate need of advice...being bullied at work.

    Archerlpvn replied to HeatherRNLove's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Find a way to tell those other nurses in professional way, to shove it, leave you alone and mind their own business. Prodessionally of course. If you don't stand up for yourself they'll keep saying...

  6. How is being an LPN different from being a CNA?

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

  7. Too late to become an LPN?

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

    I heard Florida pays LPNs nickes and dimes.. and no it's not too late to go back to school. I'm 26yo, and I was 20yo when I was in nursing and we had a few classmates in their 50's! Good luck to you...

  8. ANA New Membership: Join or shred?

    Archerlpvn replied to nursewall-e's topic in General Nursing

    I personally don't care for the ANA because they don't represent all nurses.. they represent RNs exclusively. LPNs work hard, and care for patients too. Would be nice to be mentioned and recognized as...

  9. Is lvn school hard?

    Archerlpvn replied to Roxy0881's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Depends on the school, your work ethic, and how natural nursing concepts, theory and skills come to you. Lots of people do just fine, others excel and yet others struggle and some of those

  11. Blood Draws??

    Archerlpvn replied to Nwhite4838's topic in General Nursing

    I would honestly suggest taking the class as in general the patient population you work with will be harder to from if they used a lot of drugs intravenously. Prepare yourself. :) you can do

  12. What's the hardest or one of the hard parts about being an rn?

    Archerlpvn replied to Drizzle203's topic in General Nursing

    Are you even a nurse at all, RN or LPN? If you're not, then you wouldn't know. RNs and LPNs are similar, and there is a lot of overlap depending on the facility and specialty. When you're a nurse, you...

  13. Temporary license in another state question

    Archerlpvn replied to butternurse's topic in General Nursing

    The state you're endorsing into, probably wants verification of your original state of licensure. What state are you trying to endorse into? There's usually a form associated with this, or you can go...

  14. Moving to SC from IL

    Archerlpvn replied to Vickym11198's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    If you need that date of taking the nclex, then call/reach out to your original state board of nursing. They have that

  15. Medical Assisting or RN?

    Archerlpvn replied to Cruisin1313's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Very few MAs make more than 50k, in fact sometimes LPNs don't make 50k a year. I think becoming an LPN would be a better route into nursing for sure, more so than becoming an MA, as an LPN is a nurse....

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

    In most states, an LPN works under the supervision of an RN and OR a licensed practiconer like an NP, PA, MD, DO, and dentist. I couldn't find much on the Maryland board of nursing regarding LPN...

    Archerlpvn replied to clarkb33's topic in General Nursing

    If you're not picky, or too concerned about pay rate, home health visits (most lucrative of these all), or private duty home health would hire you :) even a family practice clinic could be able to get...

  19. Scope Of Practice TELEMEDICINE Dilemma

    Archerlpvn replied to rachelm68's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    You're walking a fine line I think in regards to your scope in general, at least for CA lol. If you just "collect data" then you're fine, you just can't legally "assess." Billing, insurance prior...

  20. Scope Of Practice TELEMEDICINE Dilemma

    Archerlpvn replied to rachelm68's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    You are absolutely performing outside your scope in California as an LVN. In fact you aren't even legally able to document or state you "assessed" a patient, rather you performed "data collection."...

  23. I didn't become a nurse to feed people's addictions. Do *nurses* have the right to refuse

    Archerlpvn replied to Thankgodforativan's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I work in detox/addictions/mental health. It's no walk in the park. It can be quite challenging. Believe me. Patients with addictions to especially benzodiazepines, and opioids often require higher...

  24. License in different state

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

    Yes, please visit the Illinois board of nursing website. There should be a section dedicated to applications/licensure/endorsement. http://www.idfpr.com/Renewals/Apply/Forms/LPN-END.pdf theres the...

  25. Peer review

    Archerlpvn replied to Pink10670's topic in General Nursing

    You may be reprimanded, not given a raise, may need a performance plan, but since no harm came to the patient, I highly doubt any board would take your license away, especially if you made an honest...
