  1. Moving from CA to AR

    Archerlpvn replied to Eltee76's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Start your nursing license application now, you’ll more than likely have to get fingerprinted for AR, pay the fees, send transcripts etc and pay the CA license verification fee. And I keep my CA...

  2. New Speciality

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

    Y’all should have a manual on dosing and shot schedules and protocols for reactions, missed doses. Every clinic/company doses a little bit differently with dilutions, frequency. Make sure people...

  3. Non Clinical Jobs

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

    Really depends on where you’re an LVN at and the job market. I just type LVN in search bar on indeed.com. Hopefully different clinic, psych/addictions, corrections, MDS coordinator, and other...

  4. Advice Please!!

    Archerlpvn replied to BokChoi18's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Are you an LVN in CA or TX? Scopes of practice are so different in those two states so expectations could differ as

  5. Complaint against me to BVNPT

    Archerlpvn replied to dvd123's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I do hope you have, or will get nurses liability insurance. I go through

  6. Moving to another state

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

    No it will not make your CA license inactive. You will be able to keep your CA license active if you continue to

  7. Complaint against me to BVNPT

    Archerlpvn replied to dvd123's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Don’t get a lawyer yet. The complaint isn’t going to amount to anything especially when you followed physicians orders. And you have those statements from MD and manager on duty. The board will...

  8. Phasing out LPN

    Archerlpvn replied to YourFuture22's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    No they will not completely phase out LPNs. Some hospital positions to exist depending on the part of the country youre in. We work in nursing homes, Rehabs, jails and prisons, doctors offices/Clinics...

  9. I was wondering if you guys were able to buy a house with your LVN salary?

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

    I think so much of your question has to do with where in CA you’re looking to buy. It would be hard on an LVN salary to afford a home on a single LVN salary in any of CA’s metro areas or adjacent....

  10. Help With Software

    Archerlpvn replied to Frank Wisniewski's topic in Home Health

    The companies I have worked for, have provided us with tablets or phones capable of using the EMR. I’ll get about 75-90% of the charting done in the home. I’m an LPN, so I’m talking about...

  11. Overworked

    Archerlpvn replied to KalipsoRed21's topic in Home Health

    Depending on the EMR you use, if you self schedule, make sure to make the changes after 5:30pm, once the office closes LOL. So you can only see 3-4 patients on a given day, and they can’t add...

  12. Weekend Staffing

    Archerlpvn replied to teacher91's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Have y’all tried offering enticing/generous weekend differentials? I think a 4 on 2 day off would work for less people, and cause increased

  13. New Pediatric LPN Homecare advice

    Archerlpvn replied to FutureNurse138's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Depends on the case, but expect to deal with feeding tubes, ventilators, tracheostomies, suctioning, performing ADLs, CPT, seizure disorders, ROM exercises, assessments

  14. How to maintain VN licensed in California

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

    You can find free ways online to keep your CEUs up to date for renewals. You can also pay about 30$ a year and get unlimited access to CEUs via

  15. Decided not to pursue RN, may leave nursing eventually

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

    The home health you’re referring to is private duty home health, which is very different from intermittent home health. Maybe you could try doing a combo of private duty and visits? I like visits...

  16. School Nurse Position

    Archerlpvn replied to jakrob123's topic in School

    I’d like to think so yes, as long as there are set protocols in place to help guide you,

  17. NEW CA LVN...

    Archerlpvn replied to pweezy2460's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I have never worked LTC/SNF personally, but I remember in nursing school, the LVN mostly did med pass, and basic treatments like wound care/wound vacs, Gtube meds and feedings. Hardly any IV...

  18. LVNs in Hospitals Again?!

    Archerlpvn replied to BokChoi18's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Some hospitals across the country and starting to utilize the team approach with an RN, LPN/LVN, and CNA/PCT again. Fewer and far in between, but it’s happening. Two friends of mine worked in the ER...

  19. Can LVN in California administer IM penicillin injection?

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

    Yes, they can virtually give any medication that’s available in PO, IM, SQ and ID Formulations. Just no IV meds in CA for

  20. School Nurse Position

    Archerlpvn replied to jakrob123's topic in School

    Supervision can be a very loose term. Supervision can mean offsite, and or onsite. Available by phone etc. If they do end up utilizing an LPN, you probably would be the only nurse on site the majority...

  21. Can a new grad LPN make it in California?

    Archerlpvn replied to jakrob123's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    It can be very competitive yes, depending on the desired position of course. Kaiser, from what I hear, is harder to get into. And your IV certification from your school would have to be transferred to...

  22. Can a new grad LPN make it in California?

    Archerlpvn replied to jakrob123's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    It can be done.. depending on where in LA you choose to live. I’m from LA. Pay ranges are huge in CA. LVNs being offered 18$ an hour all the way up to 35$ + an hour. There are so many LVNs in CA...

  23. Wondering if I can do this.

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

    Are you trying to do full head to toe assessments on LTC patients? If so, that could be slowing you down tremendously. Most nurses only assess LTC patients if they’re suspecting a change a condition...

  24. Help with my experience?

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

    It sounds like a group home setting with LTAC/subacute care

  25. Is being an lvn really that great?

    Archerlpvn replied to cookie123d's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    If you can help it, get your RN first. I know it’s extremely competitive and there’s are huge wait lists and random lottery systems trying to get into an RN program, so the LVN route may be good...
