I did, this morning. They said not to worry about it, as they don't even look at it. Still, bastards should put it on the page I linked to.

Hey, I'm applying for the Fall 2014 program. I took my hesi on new years eve. My transcipts have been received but I didn't take the learning styles/personality part of the hesi. The instructions on their website only say to take math, reading comp,...

Hey, why is everyone talking about "learning styles and personality styles"? I didn't do this part of the HESI. I only did the 6 sections mentioned on the UT website -Math, reading comp, grammar, vocab, A&P, and critical thinking. Per the instruc...

Seems everyone's legging it from the UK to the US. What's the deal?

Is this a good place to start as new grad? My goal at first is to just get some well rounded experience. The place i am looking at going is a LTAC facility that trains lpns up to work with ventilators and gets you IV certified. The nurse educator al...

Like someone else said, most families are expecting that call. Either way you obviously explained yourself well enough to be forgiven, well done. I mean, what could be a better outcome of this than the family member coming down and giving you a hug?

Any more input. I have to make the final decision this morning One thing i know that I am a lot more excited by the idea of working in the prison.

I'm LVN with 3.5 yrs experience...med/surg and home health (about 1/2 and 1/2). I recently quit my med/surg job, because I just need to do something different. I'm just tired of pushing pills down people's throats. I have an interview with Davita, bu...

As a new LVN I applied to a big hospital here in town. I wanted to work med/surg in a decent hospital. I didn't hear anything for nearly 2 weeks. HR in places like that suck. I dressed up and took my resume up there to the floor. I just asked for th...

Thanks for all the responses. I've definitely had them going through my head as of late. So I decided to take the dialysis job. It's about 20 mins from the house, good pay, they will pay 100% tuition and will work my schedule around school. They eve...

I'm an LVN and have considered getting my ST as there are many OR jobs advertised for LVNs with an ST certification. However, for about the same amount of school I could get my RN and apply to a new grad-RN OR position. My wife is an RN and tells me...

Yeah, go for CNA or the equivalent (PCT?) you'll work with patients more, and it'll be better experience for nursing IMO.

I love it when someone posts a response to a question/request for information with a non-informative and pompous judgement.

Hey, med errors happen. I made one during orientation, and I made one after 3 years of experience. You should not be fired. You should just receive some education on how to avoid making the same error in the future and realizing why the error was mad...

I do understand this has been a bit of a back and forth, but I really think you are being a little insulting. You do come across as having an "I'm better than you" attitude. Sure, it is hard for someone to have any concept of exactly all the responsi...

Yes, I'm definitely not into the ICU environment. I have only been involved in a handful of codes, and although I found I was able to function pretty well and not panic, it's really not something I want to deal with throughout an entire shift. Maybe ...

That was a 10. 10 being the GOOD end of the scale. I would've taken that question as the pt's mother trying to reassure her daughter. Nice one. :)

It is, and apparently it's 20 years service for retirement. The benefits are excellent, and they pay 100% towards tuition. I'm 30, so retirement etc. is something that is becoming a lot more pressing. Being able to retire at 50 would be pretty cool. ...

Go for hospital if you can get it. What you want is a good orientation to a med/surg floor then at least 6-12 months on that floor. After that, you'll be able to go anywhere. The only problem is now hospitals aren't hiring LVNs for the floor. You may...

lol what a silly idea OP. "Male nurse" suits me fine, because that's what I am.

Hey I'm thinking about going back into homehealth but getting a motorcycle to ride to my pts houses. What do you reckon? I know I would spend a lot of time on my phone, using my laptop (pulled over), and eating while in the car doing HH before, but ...

They used to ride horses too. lol....I am not talking about a Harley with big ass loud pipes and showing up in studded leather and a bandana etc. (although most of my pts would probably love that). I am talking about a sport/tourer style bike. I am ...

Where do you stick the needle? My teacher had us stick a dummy today at the vastus lateralis, delt....etc...sites (IM), but the pad for the vastus lateralis was located on the top of the leg. It was on the top half of the upper leg, at the front and...

Is this necessary? I was never taught this in school, but so far two preceptors have had me do it.

Ok my question is which part of your big toe is the lateral big toe and which part is the medial? Or it can be worded this way....is the side of your great toe that touches your 2nd toe the medial or lateral aspect of the great toe? Please show a de...
