    How many LPN's Don't Plan To Pursue the RN Title?

    pagandeva2000 replied to CLUVRN's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I also do not plan to become an RN. For many years, I have wanted to become a nurse since I was always exposed to them...my grandmother was a supervising nurse of the OR, and I worked in health care...

    Even the media doesn't consider us "nurses"?!

    pagandeva2000 replied to CT Pixie's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    No matter how you slice it, when the phrase is "Nurses and LPNs", it polarizes the two and makes is somehow appear that LPNs are not nurses, while RNs are. Of course, this is hurtful! I have built a...

    LPN outlook

    pagandeva2000 replied to loved84's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    For some, the LPN route is a stepping stone to Registered Nursing, for others, such as myself, the LPN route is as far as they are interested in going. It means different things to different...

    Can LVN work as a Medical Assistant?

    pagandeva2000 replied to Prado's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I would try it...if you're having a difficult time getting a job, see what happens. They may pay you at the rate of a medical assistant, but you can see what happens. At least you'll gain SOME...

    pagandeva2000 replied to cantwait01's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Congratulations! We're happy for you. It could be that people are envious that you are actually taking steps to change your circumstances. It is easy to complain, but hard to take action. I...

    pagandeva2000 replied to MrsCaseyRN's topic in General Nursing

    when you say 'pseudonurses', what are you meaning? are you saying that lpns are not nurses? as a moderator of allnurses, i have to intervene because this is insulting to the our on line community....

    PPD Measurement Tape

    pagandeva2000 replied to pagandeva2000's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you. They said that the ordering limit is 50, I think, so, that's what I ordered. This way, I can give one to all of the nurses I work with. Altogether, it is 7 of us, so, I'll also have...

    PPD Measurement Tape

    pagandeva2000 replied to pagandeva2000's topic in General Nursing

    Just used the on-line order form. I have a question. I ordered them for myself, to be sent to my address because there is no guarantee that I would receive it at the work place. Our hospital is...

    PPD Measurement Tape

    pagandeva2000 replied to pagandeva2000's topic in General Nursing

    That's okay...I'd rather a resource because once I obtain one for myself, I would also share it with the rest of the nurses who are also reading with paper

    Which path do i choose?

    pagandeva2000 replied to NickitaBananna's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Sorry to hear that you have had such a challenge getting into an RN program. I think the first thing to think of is if you would be satisfied being an LPN after such a struggle to obtain an RN...

    Wondering if I'm doing the right thing..LPN School

    pagandeva2000 replied to leapinglizards3's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I echo racefan88's comment to be prepared. Most LPN programs are pretty fast paced (in fact, RN programs are, as well). It may not be that the work is difficult to comprehend, but it is voluminous...

    advice plz: private lpn school or community college?

    pagandeva2000 replied to freemiki's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Welcome to allnurses! I don't know what your friend means about not attending a private LPN school because many are out in her area, unless she is saying not to spend a great deal of money based on a...

    Should New LPN Do Per Diem?

    pagandeva2000 replied to organicbeauty's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I certainly understand both points of view...being a new grad that is afraid as well as knowing that most facilities will just throw you in the wolves. However, there are other sides as well. There...

    I want to go back to school but not sure if being a RN is for me.

    pagandeva2000 replied to gr8lvn-rn's topic in Nursing Career

    You may wish to begin by taking some of the pre-requisites for an RN program, or at least enter into college at this point. There is career counseling, and also, you might see if you can change the...

    ~Earning your LPN~

    pagandeva2000 replied to believeallispossible's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    OF COURSE, it is an accomplishment! The same earning any certificate, diploma or degree because there are so many people who have not even graduated from high school. And, there are many, whether...

    The small things that hold LPN's back.

    pagandeva2000 replied to anonymous1919's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I was a phlebotomist and CNA before becoming an LPN. I took the course at a vocational school about 15 years ago for $300. I am glad that I did it. They didn't teach this in LPN school, nor do they...

    LVN not a "real nurse" .... how to handle that?

    pagandeva2000 replied to strawbrykiwi's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    This sort of polarization exists everywhere. I noticed in the clinic I work in that the nurse practitioners (who ARE RNs) and physician assistants are treated badly by the residents and attending...

    How to take Lpn's classes in High School?

    pagandeva2000 replied to Questionz's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    You might also consider looking to see if any high school in your area offer the LPN program. There was one high school in my area (New York) that offered the LPN program in conjunction with the...

    pagandeva2000 replied to newmomspn's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I might also throw my hat into the LTC ring (per diem). I have a friend who is an RN supervisor at one a few blocks from my permanent job and he told me to bring in my resume. I hear a great deal...

    what do I do? failed hesi have to settle for lpn!!

    pagandeva2000 replied to ziggles's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    To be honest, I don't believe there is a system, school or exam that can really assure the public of a safe and competent nurse. The usual case scenerio is that if you get in, play the game and pass,...

    pagandeva2000 replied to ziggles's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I think that is the issue that hits a sore spot for most LPNs...we did attend a nursing school, had to take a licensure exam in order to practice and can lose our licenses the same as an RN. And,...
