  1. Respect For Nurses

    Scottishtape replied to RNGummy40's topic in General Nursing

    Hahahahaha

  2. LVN

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

    Is this the CACI you're talking about? Child Abuse Central Index | State of California - Department of Justice - Office of the Attorney General If so, you are looking at an uphill battle. Many...

  3. Special Research Section and how it affects the quick results

    Scottishtape replied to strksns's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I didn't get any research questions. I got 75 questions and my quick results showed I passed. A friend just took NCLEX a week ago and she got the research questions after 75 questions and her quick...

  4. Failed NCLEX with 265 quesions

    Scottishtape replied to Mmk1's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I'm so sorry, I can imagine you're pretty gutted right now. Take a little bit of time to get yourself emotionally back on the horse, and then re-attack it. I a BIG proponent of Uworld. It's the only...

  5. I need answers to 6 interview Qs from experienced RNs for an assignment

    Scottishtape replied to Brookelynne's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Well, I admit I was a little harsh since I was in a bad mood when I commented. For that, I apologize. That said, it is important for people to point out the importance of time management, as well as...

  6. I need answers to 6 interview Qs from experienced RNs for an assignment

    Scottishtape replied to Brookelynne's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I don't see it as being harsh at all. My last semester of nursing school, I was forced to also pull a full load in my bachelors program. That came out to 27 credits for ONE semester PLUS practicum. I...

  7. Food choices on NCLEX day

    Scottishtape replied to MetalheadRN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I didn't eat before I went I so that I wouldn't get nauseas from nerves. Also, you're not an RN yet, son it's against the TOS (and the law) to identify as one. You should change your screen name....

  8. Unreported Needle Stick

    Scottishtape replied to Alex_RN's topic in General Nursing

    This. Also pass on that even though it's a low risk, it CAN happen to her. It happened to me in my first year of nursing. I contracted Hepatitis C from a dirty needle stick after an insulin...

  9. Nursing school Q: 1 min/1 question?

    Scottishtape replied to Beldar_the_Cenobite's topic in General Students

    Which is good practice because it's one shot on NCLEX as

  10. Uncomfortable returning to patient's home

    Scottishtape replied to NurseP1113's topic in Home Health

    I wouldn't refuse to go in, but I would approach the situation head on with the parents when I got there . If they don't like it, they can ask you to leave. The baby is not your responsibility, and I...

  11. Nursing school Q: 1 min/1 question?

    Scottishtape replied to Beldar_the_Cenobite's topic in General Students

    The online classes I had for my bachelors degree were all 1 min per question. Like the PP said, it's to deter cheating. My nursing school exams were at a testing center with my professor. We had a...

  12. Did you read all of the assigned readings in nursing school ?

    Scottishtape replied to OsceanSN2018's topic in General Students

    I did. I read every assigned chapter front to back, then made notes on it. The only time I didn't was in Leaderahip and Management. That course was common sense for me, so I never even cracked the...

  13. Glutton for Punishment?

    Scottishtape replied to OrganizedChaos's topic in General Nursing

    Meh. I don't even engage those people anymore. I don't know where the concept of LPNs being less than everything else came from, and at this point, I don't even care anymore. I read a thread on FB...

  14. Nursing school dosage calculations help?

    Scottishtape replied to miss.martz's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    You're welcome! This kind of math can be tricky, but I promise it gets to the point where it's second nature. Keep plugging away and you'll be

  15. Nursing school dosage calculations help?

    Scottishtape replied to miss.martz's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    So, based on the manufacturer's recommendations, the child can have a maximum of 40mg/kg/day, yes? So, your max dose for 24 hours would be: 10.45 (kg) * 40mg (highest amount allowed in 24 hours) =...

  16. LPN to RN path choice affect on financial aid

    Scottishtape replied to SyringaSings's topic in General Students

    I wasn't able to get student loans for my bridge program because my LPN program was 60 something college credits, and I had gotten my associates degree. I had not capped out the financial aid, but I...

  17. Is this within my scope?

    Scottishtape replied to idasavealife's topic in General Nursing

    Missouri

  18. Is this within my scope?

    Scottishtape replied to idasavealife's topic in General Nursing

    You would search for LPN Scope of Practice on your state's BON website. It will be laid out for you there. In my last state, I was allowed to do first assessment as an LPN, and did it daily. I was...

  19. Blank consent to release forms

    Scottishtape replied to FolksBtrippin's topic in General Nursing

    This is the very opposite of informed consent. You *cannot* consent to releasing records if you don't know who you're giving them to. This smacks of not only being unethical, but illegal as well. To...

  20. Valencia Advanded Nursing Track Fall 2017

    Scottishtape replied to FavoredLPN2BSN-RN's topic in LPN to RN

    I graduated from the program in May. When I began, I was working, my hours varied between full time and part time. It was a struggle, and by the second semester, I knew I needed to quit to be...

  21. Will going to Nova hurt my chances for Duke?

    Scottishtape replied to NicuNurseD's topic in General Nursing

    I'm torn. It's a free Masters, but I've heard a lot of negative views of Nova. A physician I worked with wouldn't even consider applicants from Nova. I've seen the same thing happen in the hiring...

  22. Graduated and just past NCLEX!

    Scottishtape replied to xoemmylouox's topic in LPN to RN

    Congratulations!!

  23. Questions

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

    My school would only let us retake a class if we got a D or an F. I got a C in physiology and couldn't retake it, BUT, that did not stop me from being able to get into an LPN program and then a very...

  24. Nursing Schools

    Scottishtape replied to Nurse Rodriguez's topic in New Jersey Nursing

    Excelsior seems like a good option due to your pregnancy. That way, you can be at home working on your nursing theory work. By the time you are ready for the CPNE, you would have already delivered. I...

  25. Nursing Schools

    Scottishtape replied to Nurse Rodriguez's topic in New Jersey Nursing

    You can't do a bridge program exclusively online. The state boards of nursing require X amount of clinical hours, even from LPN-RN. That said, you can do a program such as Excelsior, where you do all...
