<h2>Career and Working Conditions</h2>
Some of you might be wondering what you could expect if you followed the steps necessary to get certified as a LVN. This is a very rewarding job, because everyone will have the chance to perform many different essential medical functions. There are so many options out there, that you will need to make sure you get the most out of them. You might want to work alongside other experienced medical staff in a hospital setting. Many types of nurses also enjoy working in a clinic atmosphere. As you advance and get more training, you will find that more options will become available to you.<br />

<br />
<h2>Salaries </h2>
Others will naturally be interested in the different types of income options at their disposal. For somemone who haven't had a nursing job before, they might be impressed by the amount of money you can make. An experienced vocational nurse should not have any problems with getting over $60,000 in a year, the average LVN salary is around $47,000 - source: <a href="http://www.lvnsalary.org/" target="_blank">http://www.lvnsalary.org/</a>. This number may vary based on a few different factors. There are some locations in this country that have a higher demand for these nurses, so they will naturally want to pay more money. Try to find the places where your skills are in the highest demand.<br />

<br />
There are many different types of experiences that a Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN) can expect to encounter. They will be one of the most valuable assets that a hospital can have, because they will be needed to perform vital medical tasks. There are patients that will need to have routine procedures done, such as blood tests and other evaluations. These minor tests may take up quite a bit of the hospital's time. Though it may seem hard to believe, having well trained nurses on staff can make the entire system run much more smoothly for the hospital.<br /><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
Since these nurses are in high demand, they can expect to face some long hours in the hospital. I have been asked to fill long shifts that might run up to 12 hours a day. This can be challenging, but it is important for the hospital to rely on these trained medical professionals. I know that my hospital appreciates the work that i put in to developing these skills. I also find it very rewarding to see that my patients are well taken care of while they are here. Some of them may come in to the hospital feeling very sick, but quickly leave feeling better than ever. I get a great feeling knowing that I have been a part of this essential healing process.<br /><br />

<br /><br />
I would also like to emphasize that many people will simply enjoy the challenge that the medical field presents to them. As a LVN, I will be asked to learn a number of different vital skills that can be used throughout my day. It makes me proud to realize that I have cultivated a vast body of expertise on different medical techniques. Though the work itself may be challenging, it represents something that I can be proud of in my life. You may want to think about whether you would like to feel this sense of satisfaction for yourself.<br />

On a serious note, it's very easy to become distracted and bothered and bewildered by your nursing studies. Don't worry about it, in such a bad way making people think that you're an idiot. A lot of people get miffed and bothered and bewildered and wondering if they're doing the right thing and don't want to do the work, too much work, and all this driving me mad and going to leave nursing school. Don't leave, well do if you want to, if you were not meant to be a nurse and hating it, but if you're liking it and you find that you easily become upset or bewildered just stick with it and always remind yourself of why you did it in the first place, why you applied to <a href="http://atimeforlater.blogspot.com/2013/09/licensed-vocational-nurse-career-salary.html">become a nurse</a> and why and also remember that feeling when you got accepted when you applied.<br />

The days that you go up to the school and having to get the money together to pay for it, remember how you felt when it all came together the day before you're going to school to start the first day of nursing school. That feeling of excitement and wonder, I'm pretty sure that if you continue and if you can overcome the hurdle of the hard work and the time consuming energy and stuff that it takes to get through nursing school, I'm pretty sure that on graduation that excited feeling that you had the night before your first day of nursing school, just explodes and comes this multiplied sense of joy and excitement, the night before you graduate nursing school. Keep your eyes on the prize and just try to enjoy it and work really hard, that's all you have to do, it's not easy - no one ever said it was but you can do it if you really want to, if you really love it, keep it up.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01090234908091829859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9165206920002918274.post-35862636404665223212014-12-30T10:53:00.000-08:002014-12-30T10:53:00.077-08:00LVN Tips #6 - Littmann Cardiology IIIIf your school provides you with a good Littmann or some other quality brand of stethoscope, then all very well, you don't need to get a new one. My school provides with learning stethoscope it's pretty scrappy but I got the Littmann Cardiology III and I was startling with hearing the heartbeats, particularly the pulps beat with taking blood pressure and when I was using this stethoscope and when I got this one I could hear it as clearly as the pulse so it's well worth investing in a good stethoscope and here in this state you can claim it in tax.<br />

And blood pressure taker, you don't need to buy one but I bought one because I want to practice, just practice all of your clinical stuff if you can.

Anatomy and Physiology takes up a great amount of time, if you just started to anatomy and physiology in your thinking, I'll tell you when it slows down, it slow down after your exam. You never get a break, so you need to learn to use your time wisely and you've already been told this probably by a million different people but think about all of those times where you're waiting for something or you're just, not really doing anything or you're in between doing things like catching a bus, or catching a train, those are the times that you should be pulling out your text book or your notes or if you get hand to buy a bunch of notes by the teacher and there's things in there that you're not quite understanding or getting a grasp on, don't put them in your folder and in little plastic safes, take those notes, put them in your handbag and then when you're going home from college, pull them out and read them.<br />

<br />
Most people will spend about an hour an afternoon or an hour in the morning, using public transport, so use that time, that's two hours of study a day using a public transport. And another thing is if you're riding and taking notes and you're catching public transport and you get on and there's no seat so it’s really difficult to write when you're standing up, go up to somebody and just ask them, I'm studying nursing and I've got this assignment due, or I've got an exam that I'm studying for and I really need to do some writing, would you mind if I could have your seat. I'm telling you now people would do things just because you ask, because they didn't expect the answer, they'll agree with what you're saying because they think you're a leader, and everyone needs a leader, particularly on a public transport - because what if something goes wrong - no one will know what to do; and you know, you're a nurse - make sure you tell them you are a nurse, because everybody loves nurses.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01090234908091829859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9165206920002918274.post-85454136266019781412014-11-11T10:45:00.000-08:002014-11-11T10:45:00.302-08:00LVN Tips #4 - Highlighter PensI use different colors for different things, for example:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Yellow - if something comes up in our textbook, and it seems like a handy hint, clinical practice for practical nursing, then I'll use my highlighter the yellow one - I don't use it any other time, except for highlight areas that might come in handy for practical nursing for example here - when we're learning about blood and the cardiovascular system, when we learnt about blood pressure, I thought that was pretty important for learning the practical side of nursing , where I would take the patient's blood pressure so I highlighted that in the yellow color.<br />
Pink - I used for words like a glossary or dictionary, like wherever a word would come up with a really good description like the basis of the word, I would highlight it in pink.<br />
Blue - I would use whenever the teacher would say this is going to be on the exam or you need to know this, copy this, I would write my note she'd ask me to copy or highlight the passage in the book that was related to that and nothing else was in blue.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
You might ask what happens when you need to highlight something that's both for practical and is also going to exam and it also contains a word for the dictionary. Well, there you go, that's how you do it. Obviously, makes the word, you just put bars, you don't have to highlight the words, just highlight the, obviously this is for the practical nursing - highlight the areas with those, so that's how you do it. That's how I do it; it works for me, works very well. I found, even though I had to turn off the camera to find that, I find it pretty much less than thirty seconds.<br />
<br />

<br />
And post it sticky things - very good for things that are very good - you know what they're good for - so that's something and write in your book, tag notes, use highlighters. And that's what I want to show you - if you've never done the highlighting the way I just told you to, again don't be precious about your highlighters just nobody cares about text books or highlighters in <a href="http://atimeforlater.blogspot.com/2013/09/licensed-vocational-nurse-career-salary.html">nursing</a> and there is no crying in the nursing school. So you might write glossary on your highlighting pen and it's going to come off your hand when you use it, but anyway, so you write glossary until you've got it in your head what color is for what, and it works for me and it's good.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01090234908091829859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9165206920002918274.post-36578287133782829952014-10-20T10:37:00.000-07:002014-10-20T10:37:00.525-07:00LVN Tips #3: Text Books<img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDdMW4mC3iLJ9M_QVBqMV4gHOjK0bjnpcxL18CnFzMS1jRHofl8aNLrk4aD-bfYrL8tne71wNKG1BSJLPi0R13IfeCB9CH9RqnDbteyY2GsoMO3CwW-6h30F60SgsACMWWweYokSEDW6aU/s1600/LVN+textbooks.JPG" height="200" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;" width="150" />
Use your beautiful text books, use them. I know when most of us get our text books, they're so expensive and we wait for our booklist, we end up getting the books, and we sort of adore them, we just love them but this is a book for learning, it's not a book to put on your shelf, you don't need to do that. You need to use it. Look, chances are if you're protective of your books like I am in most cases, I'm just really, I look after my books, but with text books in particularly with the nursing course, I know that I'm only going to be using these books when <a href="http://atimeforlater.blogspot.com/2013/09/why-i-became-lvn.html">I'm in nursing school</a> because nurses learn for the rest of their lives so you're probably going to get a mass a great library of medical and nursing books in general.<br />

Make use of it, stick things in it, this might look like sacrilege to some people and there is a girl in my course who saw me writing in my book and highlighting and sticking notes and she was horrified and I just said, "I don't intend selling this book when I'm finished because I'm probably only going to get about twenty dollars for it, so I'm not going to spend my days at college worrying that I'm going to crease the pages of my book. It's stupid, I'm not saying it's stupid, I'm just saying you'd better served to use your book wisely and highlight areas, write notes - find an area where - you know what a note looks like, I write all over my books. If I do use this book again, it's not going to matter if it's got highlighting or if it's got notes in it but what matters is I'll still be able to understand what I'm reading and that the information I need is in it. So, use it, write in it, don't worry about it, it will be okay and make more if you're so worried about it, buy someone else's second hand text books for twenty dollars. Use your text books; don't worry about them, if they fall apart - fantastic, who cares.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01090234908091829859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9165206920002918274.post-85951318350924302892014-09-30T10:31:00.000-07:002014-09-30T10:31:00.143-07:00LVN Tips #2 - Study Tools<img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgh5uc25vCnH9xnqYrUib1y5nmw0KhyphenhyphenQzwbvAw70rZLzecUMXK-5ZuTwPZMNYeUjJPIakMtGwzSsMUlIt6Vq5Uwi-V97kdWVw47456rM7gIdYOxlfGY_vkCbZ7TwM1y_fCAxSTvnXHxkqz_/s1600/6+study+tools.png" height="200" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;" width="320" />
Study tools can be anything from models, posters, videos, text books. For me, I'm a really visual learner - I need to read about something and then see it or even feel it. I did a couple of things one of them was to get my hands on and you'll see why I'm looking over here all of the time - an Anatomical model, that's so cute. This is an anatomical model of the human skull, cranium with a little bit of the vertebral column. You can remove the head, actually if you're learning about the bones of the skull, you can see here the carnal stitches of the skull comes off and inside is the brain and the brain opens and you can see inside of it. So that's one of them and all of the bones in the face in pretty good details, so it's good. I think that only cost me about twenty dollars, and I got it on e-bay, so just look up Anatomical model on e-bay. This one is an eye, this is not so great, it's made of that kind of brittle plastic that will chip and break quickly. This is my favorite one, this one is an Anatomical model of the human torso, the front comes off and all of the organs that are inside the body come out, see and you've got lungs, the heart, and then they open up even further, so you can see the see the atrial and ventricles, the different veins and the cover, that sort of thing. I found these really, really handy.<br />

Get a really good understanding of <b>Anatomy</b>. Anatomy is different to Physiology because as we know Anatomy is the study of the structure of the body. So you want to know where things are, most of us as adults we have a general idea of where things are, some things we might get muddled up with. We know the heart's located in here, the lungs to the side, we can see veins running up and down our arms and maybe our legs and some of us might not want them but they come especially if you're pregnant - we know where our stomach is and we know where our bowel is. We have a little bit of an understanding however when you start studying, you'll find that you'll come across all these new words, and it's like learning a new language and that can be a really confusing part of it but the confusing part is knowing medical terms that surround the organs.<br />
<br />
The language of medicine is made up of pretty much Latin and Greek, that sort of thing. That's a little bit hard to get your head around sometimes although a really, really good thing to do is to learn the prefixes and suffixes and the route words, because then when you're reading your text, you'll come across these words and it will prompt you - you'll already know, for example, the prefix epi means upon. So you come upon words like Epidermis with the skin - the outer layer of the skin, is the Epidermis. So immediately when you read that, although it might be a new word to you, you'll recognize that it's got something to do with something upon. It's really good for your prefixes and suffixes and you'll probably find it somewhere in your text book for Anatomy and Physiology and I think mine is at the front.<br />
<br />

You can see the list and it goes to the next image and that's by no means a comprehensive list of all of those prefixes and suffixes. It's pretty basic but know things like when we say, cardio - it means heart. When these words come out, you're talking, you'll know what they are and you instantly have a visual idea and imagery - you'll know where it is, you'll know what they're talking about and you'll be able to hang on to the next bit that they talk about - you may be going, "what the hell is an endocardia" so learn the words, learn the structures and learn where they go.<br />
