  1. How long before your license shows on breeze?

    They won't issue you a license number "to post" without paying the licensing fee, so yes, you have to pay CA the fee for the license because you need an original license to "transfer." And then you'll...
  2. Changing states

    Once all documents were turned in, i got my license in less than a week! Seriously. I mailed everything in on like a Thursday and come Tuesday of the following week, so like 4/5 days, I got my...
  3. Colorado Hospital Advice

    Denver health hospital, university of Colorado hospital in aurora, national Jewish hospital, Swedish hospital, SCL hospital system- I think they merged with national Jewish. Those are all in Denver...
  4. Worth getting my LPN on my way BSN?

    Similar duties in most non-acute settings yes as both are licensed nurses :) I think you might as well go for it. Get your feet wet with actual licensed nursing experience while you finish up your RN...
  5. getting hired in a hospital with an associates degree?

    if you're smack dab in downtown, yes it is pedestrian friendly. Los Angeles city proper has a pretty good public transportation system
  6. While you're correct about CA, I thought there were states as well that granted licensure as an LPN based of military experience that was deemed equivalent? Isn't that an "alternate" path too? But...
  7. Renewal RN License -Pain CE

    I'm an LPN here and required to do the same. When I renewed, I did the course on the BON website and then used medlineuniversity.com for free CEU's. They have plenty of pain related topics that work...
  8. Changing states

    I endorsed my license to Utah, its very easy and straight forward. Visit the Utah board of nursing website. You'll need finger prints, pay the fee, fill application, and get license verification from...
  9. Lpns, can I please pick your brains?!

    Hi there. The role of an LPN is in nursing. We are similar to an RN but not an RN and not always interchangeable. We work "under" our own licensure and are responsible for own actions. Where LPNs and...

  11. Amedisys reviews for 2016??? Anybody?

    The amedysis branch here in Portland, OR is awful from what I hear! So many nurses, RNs and LPNs alike, have quit and gone elsewhere to other HH companies. LPNs are forced to see up to 7-8 patients a...
  12. LPN's doing HHC

    Yes, only an RN performs and completes the OASIS in my experience as it requires RN level comprehensive assessment. If an LPN happens to be a QA/QI nurse, then he or she should become very familiar...
  13. LPN's doing HHC

    So much will depend on the state. When I did home health in Colorado, there was a huge emphasis on "visits" r/t chronic disease management and utilizing LPNs where we would do visits on patients who...
  14. Confused and discourage

    Reality check Indeed on multiple levels... for the record, LPNs are nurses. LPNs aren't Not RNs, but we are nurses in our own right. We do help the sick and injured as would an RN. Think of it as...
  15. Endorsement for California license

    The OP is already a nurse in CA as he/she is an LVN just not an RN in CA. OP I would practice as an RN in NM rather than as an LVN in CA. Maybe you could endorse out of NM to another state as an RN...
  16. RN vs. Lpn

    In general, RNs in every state perform comprehensive assessments whereas LPNs at most can perform assessments, some states don't even allow LPNs to "assess" and call it "data collection". Differences...

    Four years ago in my LPN program, we were taught to never use the dorsogluteal site. We were taught to utilize the ventrogluteal site when giving IM injections in the gluteal
  22. Michigan LPN Scope of Practice

    I can't remember where I've read, but I read that an LPN can engage in IV therapy in Michigan with an additional certificate. An LPN "IV" course approved by the board. LPNs and IV administration You...
  23. What do RN's do that LPN's can't?

    so LPN's are allowed to have an expanded role in IV therapy in Iowa with additional certifications. Does that not include the ability to start a peripheral IV line? That would be
  24. What do RN's do that LPN's can't?

  25. What do RN's do that LPN's can't?

    I think That in literally every state an LPN can start a peripheral IV line, with or without a certification on an adult patient. Now whether or not an LPN can administer medications or certain...
