Hi my labs turned out negative for everything, I actually go back for my 12 week labs on friday, and then I will have to go back in 6 months. I'm glad your labs came back negative as well. I will keep you in my prayers!

I administered insulin with dominant hand and as i began to put the needle in the sharps container with my non dominate hand the pt began to bleed so I bended down to wipe the blood and there was the poke in my wrist. Pt states of having hep c+ years ago but it's not located in the chart, neither was his doctor aware of dx so they're taking precautionary actions on both my end and the pts.

Sooooooo I began working as a nurse on a temporary license on January 13, took the Nclex on February 24, became licensed on March 1st and experienced my first needle stick with someone that may be hep c + today March 3, I'm 23 so of course I freaked out and swore my life was over. All I can do now is wait on my results from my jobs recommended clinic. 😡 Has anyone experienced anything similar?

Yes mam whe you all get here it will be my last trimester.

Congratulation ladies!!! Im sure you al will do well!!!

I started Monday and it has been exciting!

Goooo head then girl!

Sounds like me, I have majority of my prerequisites for my rn, but I heard you learn skills in lpn school as opposed to rn school they focus more on administration n paper work, so I hear.

Thank you!!!

Lol will do for sure! Thanks(:

Ok thank you I heard plenty of good things about Saunders. Im going to purchase that one.

Thank you I will look into the pharmacology book. I have started learning some of the popular drugs just to have a few under my belt before school starts.

Hi , I am a Cna and trust I know exactly how you feel. I wish you the best on your progression. I begin my LPN courses in January, and I can not wait!

Hey I've been looking at Saunders and Kaplan NCLEX-PN but I have no clue which is better. Have you heard any about either of them?

Hello everyone I start my LPN course in January and I was wondering if you guys had any tips, or any suggestions on what I should start looking over now , or what I should invest in to a jump start? All suggestions are appreciated, thank you all!

I start January 5th as well. The anticipation is killing me! :)

I will be starting the LPN program at Tennessee of college of applied technology spring of 2015. Im too excited!!!

Ill toast to that!

Ok thank you

Ok thank you so much. Will I need any of this in school?

Ok thank you, I currently work at a nursing home/rehab as a can and they have serious issues when it comes to blood pressure cuffs and O2 stat monitors. Since they don't supply them nurses often borrow each other's then they become missing, and then they get frustrated and have to take blood pressures manually. I neverrrrrrr want to have to go through that madness I just want to purchase my own. I will definitely look into the sprague cuff. Is it very pricey?

What is the best brand to purchase on a blood pressure cup and O2 stat reader?

I feel the same way as ypu do. Every time I think about starting school January 5th I get excited! Congrats!

Your welcome, good luck to you as well.
