    However, RNs are more independent and LPNs work under them due to differences in education and overall responsibilities. The main difference between them is the license each holds. The license of an LPN limits their autonomy to that of talking to patients, taking their vital signs and administering medication. The RN license is unlimited as it allows them to interpret medical data, make medical decisions and assess patients (sawyerschool.org,…

    Lpn to Rn Transition

    There are slight changes related in returning to school from the role of LPN to RN. First I must focus my time in my school work whether it is studying, reading or just not working 80 hours a week to allow the brain to retain in my long term memory. I currently work in two different fields of nursing. One is mental health which I find personally rewarding because of hands on care I’ve learned to realize who I am and why I am who I am. The other is long term nursing care which has given me respect for the elderly and those who cannot care for themselves. The switch to the RN role I personally anticipate more involvement in the care planning and more respect from health professionals.…

    With the diploma, ADN, and BSN avenues to becoming a registered nurse there are many different options for those desiring to enter the nursing field. However, there are many barriers as well including cost, availability and location of nursing schools (IOM, 2011, p. 166). With the recommendations for nursing detailed in the IOM report many changes will need to be implemented in the education of nurses and also to ease the transition of the graduate nurse into practice (IOM, 2011). In order for nurses to fulfill the full scope of their capabilities in will be essential for them to achieve higher levels of education both before and after licensure. The need for baccalaureate educated nurses will rise significantly as a result of the increasing demand placed on nurses due to the implementation of the ACA.

As this is my first time went to the Hospital Bahagia which is known as a place for crazy,mental problem and psycho person, I was really excited. When I arrived there, the place was really big and beautiful. I was wonder either this is a campus or mental's hospital. I can saw a lots of guards with brown uniform anywhere. Some of them ride motorcycle and some of them walked in and outside the ward. There are a guards for each entrance doors. A lots of nurses with white uniform walked everywhere and sometimes I can heard people yelling and crying. At the beginning of the session, we are given talk about the history of the place by one of the sister there. I was totally shocked when I heard the staff there are more than 10 000 and the hospital's area was really big. The hospital already exist 100 years back. I am sure this…
