    LPNtoRNin2016OH replied to LPNtoRNin2016OH's topic in Home Health

    Future LPN student 25yo. Deadline for having a baby? Husband 27

    LPNtoRNin2016OH replied to FutureLPNNursing's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Another thing worth mentioning that I didn't expect to deal with after my third was born was post partum complications. I assumed I would pop that baby out and be on my merry way. What really happened...

    Future LPN student 25yo. Deadline for having a baby? Husband 27

    LPNtoRNin2016OH replied to FutureLPNNursing's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am three years in to my LPN to RN bridge program. I started with my first two who were 2 and 4 at the time and gave birth to my youngest last winter 2 weeks before finals. While I would never change...

    What classes did you take with A&P?

    LPNtoRNin2016OH replied to kayclarke's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You will be fine!! I took A+P I with something like online child psych or something of that nature and this semester I am finishing up A+P II and Micro. Micro and A+P II actually went together quite...

    Working while in school

    LPNtoRNin2016OH replied to bjames09's topic in General Students

    I also think whether or not you have exposure to the health care world before this. Most of the students I have encountered in this program are from degrees such as teaching accounting, far removed...

    Working while in school

    LPNtoRNin2016OH replied to bjames09's topic in General Students

    From what these students are saying, it's nearly impossible to keep up with the school work without a job, let alone with one. Can you perhaps move back in with your parents for the 12 months? I...

    Requirements for rn to bsn program?

    LPNtoRNin2016OH replied to NewGradRN_CA's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would get with your school advisor, they should be able to guide you in the right direction. Many associates programs now have contracts with either online BSN or brick and mortar schools for their...

    LPNtoRNin2016OH replied to bjames09's topic in General Students

    LPNtoRNin2016OH replied to Lev's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Well I do not work in the hospital, I feel for you in this. In LTC, it takes everything I have to not want to scream at families who make their 90 year old mother w/ a g tube and dementia full code. I...

    A Positive Post

    LPNtoRNin2016OH replied to vintagemother's topic in LPN to RN

    I think it's important to remember the old "people say it louder when they are complaining" or whatever that golden rule is. There are bad work envroemnts in EVERY field and there are good work...

    Living in a BSN state:

    LPNtoRNin2016OH replied to WCSU1987's topic in General Students

    defintely location dependent. Here you can find work as an ASN pretty decently and I live in a mid size city. You need to get your BSN within 5 years

    Should Healthcare Professionals Ask About Guns in the Home?

    LPNtoRNin2016OH replied to P-RN's topic in General Nursing

    My pediatrician actually asks this at every well child check. We do not have any in our home but I would tell her if we did and it doesn't bother me if she asks. Call me crazy but when my small...

    LPNtoRNin2016OH posted a topic in General Students

    Seriously. I get the whole point is for those who have not been in the work force to learn you "have to work together with everyone" in the real world but I have repeatedly been the one in my pre-req...

    A sobering story-------

    LPNtoRNin2016OH replied to NanikRN's topic in General Nursing

    Playing devil's advocate but while I definitely understand being interrupted and how frustrating it can truly be, one could argue that is she had double checked the dosage before giving it then she...

    A sobering story-------

    LPNtoRNin2016OH replied to NanikRN's topic in General Nursing

    Question: Do they not have a second nurse check all medications that have to be drawn up in all peds? I ask because when my then 4 month old was hospitilzed for RSV last March, he was given meds to...

    A sobering story-------

    LPNtoRNin2016OH replied to NanikRN's topic in General Nursing

    As a nurse and a mother I can see both sides of this and there isn't a good answer or solution for either side. If it were my child this happened too......a dose 10x that was supposed to be given...I...

    Can I be rehired?

    LPNtoRNin2016OH replied to aeminer's topic in General Nursing

    right which is why OP should get this cleared up. I just would NOT be ok with this being on my employee record, especially if it were not true. Regardless of what made her test positive, if she didn't...

    Questions for Planned Parenthood Nurses

    LPNtoRNin2016OH replied to ilovelamp's topic in General Nursing

    What happened tonight is so awful. I am a huge supporter of PP. Back in 2008 when I became pregnant at 21 with my son, I had no insurance and was scared to death. The staff there literally rallied...

    Can I be rehired?

    LPNtoRNin2016OH replied to aeminer's topic in General Nursing

    Right but from what I have read on here that if this clause does exist and the BON finds out you didnt inform them, the consequences are harsher than if you self reported. I say this to point out a...

    Can I be rehired?

    LPNtoRNin2016OH replied to aeminer's topic in General Nursing

    Also, isn't there a sort of self report clause in some BON states? For example, even if OP's job did not report her for this, she is held responsible to report it to the BON

    Can I be rehired?

    LPNtoRNin2016OH replied to aeminer's topic in General Nursing

    If they did this to her once, who is to say they wouldn't do it again? She is lucky she didn't get an action against her license. I get we all gotta work to pay bills but she needs her license to do...

    Holiday rotation

    LPNtoRNin2016OH replied to JBMmom's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Every other holiday, I have never heard of it any other way. I work PRN so am not required to do holidays. My facility does not offer holiday pay so I never pick them up either. They have holes on...

    Worst SNF ever!

    LPNtoRNin2016OH replied to snfnurse's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I would have done the same, that sounds ridiculous. To find a quality SNF is actually the exception and not the
