    autopilot mindset med errors

    LPNtoRNin2016OH replied to MelissaMooRN's topic in Patient Medications

    First, BIG hugs. Second, assuming the patient will be fine and only is at the hospital to be monitored, this will be the best mistake you ever made. I made a med error within the first 6 months of my...

    LPNtoRNin2016OH replied to tbird88's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    LPNtoRNin2016OH replied to tbird88's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    LPNtoRNin2016OH replied to oatmeal's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    School problem!!!

    LPNtoRNin2016OH replied to direw0lf's topic in General Students

    Why not? OP has every right to stand up for herself, this is not a threat or verbally assualting someone. Unless the classmates are saying actual threats, it's unlikely a Dean or Professor would do...

    LPNtoRNin2016OH replied to TipToeLPN's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    In my state they do not have to be present in the building but we have to have a certain amount of RN hours in a month and one must be on call if not there. There have been many times I have been one...

    New grad is the only nurse in the building.

    LPNtoRNin2016OH replied to TipToeLPN's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Would I have been comfortable with that as a new grad? I am pretty sure I wouldn't have been, the experienced nurses were great sounding boards and great help. I think like poster said above, if you...

    Husband just got into ASN program -- should he pursue it?

    LPNtoRNin2016OH replied to Mindylane's topic in General Students

    Here (Ohio) many hospitals will hire you as an ASN but within 5 years you must obtain a BSN, there is nothing like this by you guys? I am currently in my RN bridge program which will be an ASN. I plan...

    Would you leave your current position over scheduling issues?

    LPNtoRNin2016OH replied to Butterflyxx0621's topic in General Nursing

    I would defintely leave in the situation you described. Honestly, there is no loyalty to employees now so while I do not burn bridges, I certainly do not stay at positions that do not benefit me out...
