  5. I need some help with statistics

    Scottishtape replied to amberm5's topic in Western Governors University

    I don't know if you can access CourseCompass without your school being affiliated with it, BUT that's the only reason I passed Statistics. I love their format. I ended up with a B in that class. It is...

  6. Nurses, Doctors, and Admins: Nightmare Becomes Reality

    Scottishtape replied to Joe V's topic in General Nursing

  9. AS Science or LVN

    Scottishtape replied to moore3015's topic in Texas Nursing

    I should add too, that I got my LPN 10 years ago, but didn't finish my AA until this year. Once I got my AA, it didn't do anything for me as far as my professional world goes. No pay raises or...

  11. Getting an LPN job in Ohio w/ record

    Scottishtape replied to NurseZach2015's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    I thought things that were sealed on records were unable to be seen when background checks were pulled? My best advice would be to go see an attorney and see if there's anything you can do with this...

  12. Dumbest thing a doctor has done/said to you

    Scottishtape replied to WorriedNurse25's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I was working med surg my first year as a nurse. Doc wrote an order for a med my patient was allergic to. I brought it up and asked for a new order. Doc started yelling at me to stay in my lane and...

  13. AS Science or LVN

    Scottishtape replied to moore3015's topic in Texas Nursing

    Look in your area to see what kinds of positions you can get with an AS. What do those positions pay? Then look to see what positions you can get as an LPN. How much do those positions pay? I'm going...

  14. Do you agree this was unethical?

    Scottishtape replied to Nurse_CrystalRN's topic in Nursing Career

    This. I would be concerned that lying came so easily to her and that she was proud of the fact that she benefited from lying. Gutsy? Sure. Right?

  15. Ask a CRNA any question you want

    Scottishtape replied to PaSSiNGaS's topic in Critical Care

    When I had to do my OR clinicals, the nurse who was supposed to be with me stated that she did not understand why they would send LPN students to the OR when we could never expect to actually work...

  16. Can they do this?

    Scottishtape replied to jkadel's topic in General Students

    I have to agree. I check my grades DAILY, and when I get close to 90% I start to freak out, and make sure that I'm studying even harder so I can get back to the upper 90s. There's no way I would ever...

  17. Contradicting Instructor Information?

    Scottishtape replied to BanannaFish's topic in General Students

    I was taught that up to 2ml may be administered in the deltoid, however, it does depend on the facility in which you work. IF that facility has a policy against it, you would stick to their policies...

  18. Online Classes

    Scottishtape replied to doherty0's topic in General Students

    I LOVE the online classes. I have four kids and work as well. It's hard to carve out face to face time to attend school on campus (and I only live 15 minutes away from the university). I do love the...

    Scottishtape replied to Readytolpn's topic in New Jersey Nursing

    You don't need the experience before you go. I will however, say that LPN programs are HARD. I see a lot of people saying how easy it is because it's only a year, but it is a very rigorous year, so be...

  20. Calling home for head injuries

    Scottishtape replied to JerseyTomatoMDCrab's topic in School

    That is definitely worth mentioning. I've never worked as a school nurse, but I have been the unfortunate parent who's kid came home telling me of this AWFUL head trauma they received in school...

  21. I need some help with an appeal letter.

    Scottishtape replied to magnoliahappiness's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Advice: Take responsibility for your mistake and learn from it. Fighting it shows you're not accepting and learning. Re-apply and make sure you have a good plan to ensure you don't forget required...

  22. Can they do this?

    Scottishtape replied to jkadel's topic in General Students

    If the school's policy is that you're dismissed after failing three classes and you failed three classes, then you're out. When you enter into a program, you're agreeing to their policies and...

    Scottishtape replied to Upward_Bound's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yes, it is within their "reach" and I agree with the practice as well. I cannot tell you how many times I've had to do group projects and one member (or two) will not do any of the work and expect to...
