inthepipeline LPN

I'm currently an LPN working in a diabetes clinic, have been for the last 1 year 9 months and I also work a sub acute per diem. I'm starting my LPN to RN January 2018 and have a Bachelors degree in another discipline. I do not have the requisite ho...

What I did was look at the board of nursing website and went through every schools website and looked them up. That's how I found my LPN program. For LPN to RN I found one school that has a waitlist but it goes quicker than what they posted and all...

I'm an lpn that was not one before. I did direct care for special needs kids while in nursing school, but no adult/ geriatric care. I worked a few times as a cna to help out when my unit is short and to do a whole shift as a cna I strongly dislike....

Hello, I was a financial aid officer before I switched to healthcare. The $2,500 from the FAFSA does not make sense unless you are talking only about the Pell Grant. My numbers may be slightly off but generally a student can get $5,500 in federal s...

I actually spoke with a nurse who went to med school after being a nurse for 8 years. Working as a nurse made him realize he wanted to be a doc. He had no regrets about becoming a nurse, just that he wanted to take on the doc role. I strongly reco...

In Criminal Minds a woman was dunked in an bleach filled bathtub. She gets pulled out and the ever perceptive Spence gives her milk and tells her it will "coat her lungs" and help protect them.

Carharrts only ones I'll wear

You could look for pt care tech/ cna jobs, unit secretary, working at group homes (developmental disabilities/mental health), healthcare admin jobs such as pt registration, reception. Janitorial/ food service at a healthcare place ( hospital/ snf). ...

I used meditech in clinicals and do telephone triage with epic at my job and love it once you learn the ropes it's awesome. The epic team for our practice went into one clinic and almost doubled the number of patients they saw just by customizing.

I work a large practice during the week and do a subacute on the weekends. While I love the facility I'm at and what I'm learning I would not want to do it long term ( the subacute). It goes double for LTC. It's just not my thing and that's ok I o...

Thank you all for the awesome responses.

Hello, I'm a new LPN who will go into an LPN to BSN program in the next year or so. I'm going to get my EMT-B in the fall and would like to end up in an ER/ICU after finishing my BSN if possible. I'm very interested in getting my EMT-P or Pre Hospi...

I'm an LPN and do all that stuff except the PA's. How you utilize your LPNs and MA's largely depends on your workflow and nature of your practice. So if you have more injections, infusions, procedures, and higher risk triage questions (chest pain, ...

Thank for your responses. I'll probably end of doing it backwards and that's what I was inquiring about. Jadelpn there are RN to EMT-P programs in other states, which is why I inquired as to if there are any in MA. I guess "bridge" is not the best...

All these things will be heavily school dependent. Some schools require a TEAS, some a HESI, and some another type of admissions test, but TEAS is most common. Some schools require prerequisites, but most that I have seen do not. My program did no...

In the Army Guard/ Reserves you can commission as a nursing officer with an ASN but won't make captain without a BSN. Also in the Army (all components) you can be an enlisted LPN.

I'm 6 feet 250 mostly in my gut and I've tried on carharrts, dickies eds, and Cherokee. Carharrts fit the best I can crouch down and cross my arms across my chest without restriction. Dickies eds pants are great but the shirts restrict me crossing ...

Do PMHNPs work as an RN in another specialty on the side sometimes? For example if you work in the ER as an RN, then become a PMHNP and do PMHNP full or almost full time then still do some ER shifts. Though I know its possible, is it generally done...

Hurst was a really good content review for me and I've heard good things (but have not used) the Success series of books. Also the Kaplan review book "NCLEX - Pn ( or RN) Strategies, Practice, and Review" was real good for breaking down questions an...

And yes doctors can and have taken the different steps of their licensure exams (all 3) multiple times and just like our license exam how often they can is dictated by the state they seek licensure in.

I can't help but notice the irony in OP's suggestion: you are not knowledgable or competent enough to pass the NCLEX RN so you should be given an LVN license. However the OP is not knowledgeable or competent enough to know they are identical tests e...

I'm in the last semester of an LPN program and have polled some of my classmates (most of whom are CNAs) and looked on my own. In MA I've seen corrections (through MHM staffing) as new grad friendly. Also, I've seen Beaumont Rehab and Nursing, Kind...

There are a few options to go with. Of course, fill out a FAFSA so that way you can see if you qualify for a Pell Grant and Federal loans. After that there are a few options. The preferred lenders list is usually a good one to go off of. They hav...

I'm an LPN student in MA and some the of jobs I was told to look at are places like Beaumont and Kindred, not to mention any LTC or SNF or assisted living. Don't look for these on job sites, but look up the companies themselves. Also, look into you...

I agree that HR is a huge risk. Remember, HR is there for the company, not the employees. They only help out employees when it is in the best interest of the company. An HR worker's job does not depend on making you happy, but on making the compan...
