I am the charge nurse on my shift and on the other shifts the LPN's are considered the charge nurses along with the RN supervisor. And yes they're are standing protocols like the ones you mentioned, also in many cases I have just opted to fax the Dr. instead for non- emergent situations.

Night shift nurses in which instances/circumstances do you call the Dr. I work night shift 11-7, I've been a LPN for about 5 months now and I've called the Dr maybe 3 times. Twice in which it was through the night. Of course you would call the doctor if a death occurs or say someone glucose levels are extremely high or low. When do you decide it's time to wake the DR. and make the call?

If not why not? If you have or are now, how is the experience? Im debating if I should work at this job as a nurse that I did as an aide.

Oh plaeezee lol that's a bunch of bull. I was an aide and we change leg bags to beside bags ALL THE TIME! It's a piece of cake, you did exactly what I would've done even as a new nurse that I am...Write her up! People want to come to work and clock in, but not actually work. It doesn't work like that.

Thank you very much!

WOW! Thanks so much! This is going to really help me, I'll be sure to make myself familiar with some of the drugs that I don't recognize :)

UWORLD will have you passing on the 4th attempt! Read the rationales and LEARN from them

Hi I passed my nclex-pn exam this pass Tuesday 8/16 and verified my nursing license on the License verification site on Thursday 8/18. I'm interested in working at my current job as a nurse that I worked at as a CNA and another LTC facility PRN. I was just wondering what are the common meds given in nursing homes to get familiar with them before beginning my new career as a nurse! Thanks in advance!

The same thing was happening to me, don't put in your county, zip code etc. Only put in your first and last names and the type of license you're searching for (nursing, practical nurse/registered nurse) Once I did that my license popped up! Good luck
