    Balder_LPN replied to FutureRNontario's topic in International Nursing

    Rn Health requirements?

    Balder_LPN replied to FutureRNontario's topic in International Nursing

    and not just mental disorders may effect patient care. Maybe nurses with Type 1 DM should not be allowed to practice either. I mean, if they took their insulin, missed lunch, and went into a coma,...

    Balder_LPN replied to princess007's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with check with the BON. But that is an overly broad statement that LPN's dont have the training or skills for it. Here in Washington LPN's with documented/evaluated (same standard for RN too)...

    Can an RN work as a sitter?

    Balder_LPN replied to misplaced1's topic in General Nursing

    My understanding was that you are held to the standards of your license, regardless of what title a client, or agency, puts on the job. So handing a pt an aspirin, a sitter could do, but a nurse would...

    The Circumcision Discussion

    Balder_LPN replied to jmspeach's topic in Ob/Gyn
