1. Traveling with a dog

   NurseKellyKMo replied to WeimaranerluvinRN's topic in Travel

   I'm on a local travel assignment now. I'm considering getting a camper/5th wheel for my doggo and I to travel in. I have a pitbull, and most mobile home parks don't allow them. However, you can also park in a state park with a permit. And they're les...

2. Anyone applying to Pratt Community College LPN to RN program?

   NurseKellyKMo replied to evreux96's topic in LPN-RN

   Hutchinson actually has an IV Cert class in Hutchinson, McPherson, and Newton I believe. So, you can go to any campus. Also, they have an online class and I took it.

3. News Flash Everybody Farts!

   NurseKellyKMo replied to hppygr8ful's topic in General Nursing

   I'm absolutely cackling from reading this thread! I'm the non-politically-correct girl. Before becoming a nurse, I spent four years working in auto parts. My coworkers took off running if I walked up to them and said, "Hey. You guys wanna hear someth...

4. Hutchinson CC LPN to RN Traditional Bridge

   NurseKellyKMo posted a topic in LPN-RN

   I'm a nursing student at Hutchinson Community College's LPN to RN Traditional Bridge Program. I'm seeing lots and lots of posts about different programs and I'd like to share my experiences this far. I started my LPN to RN "Tranitions" class mid Jun...

   You may want to take another look at Hutchinson, or another program as I heard that Pratt recently lost their accreditation.

6. Accepted!!

   NurseKellyKMo replied to Ddestiny's topic in LPN-RN

   I'm accepted into the traditional RN bridge program and starting in June. I'm terrified to say the least!

7. Help with case studies

   NurseKellyKMo replied to imanursenow's topic in LPN-RN

   That's a lot of output in 2 hours for a febrile patient. Where exactly is the stab wound? What does the Foley output look like

   NurseKellyKMo replied to lindseydeyo's topic in General Students

   Something to think about, when you are applying to different nursing schools, make sure you are able to go to all the schools that you apply to.

10. Nursing School

    NurseKellyKMo replied to Reneeangel12's topic in General Students

    I'm sorry to say, but evening clinical rotation is a rare thing when you are first starting. It's possible to still work, most of the people in my class worked through school. Just make sure you run your schedule as efficiently as possible. Make very...

11. Squeamish future nursing student

    NurseKellyKMo replied to mecapon91's topic in General Students

    Cracking up reading this article. I am an lpn, do wound care on a regular basis. However, my mom just had surgery and I have had to assist her with post BM paperwork. On more than one occasion I felt myself winding up to gag. Some menthol rub on your...

12. Questioning my major

    NurseKellyKMo replied to Lsjackson26's topic in General Nursing

    I think patient contact is what you make of it. You will still have the opportunity to speak with your patients and educate them on different areas all the while doing whatever you are tasked to do.

13. End of semester

    NurseKellyKMo replied to msbossb's topic in LPN/LVN Students

    NCLEX wasn't horrible. You will walk out feeling like you failed. It's completely normal! I had the time to mentally prepare myself for that feeling and have my support system lined up for me to call.

14. Areas of nursing you would NOT like?

    NurseKellyKMo replied to Nursetobe25's topic in General Nursing

    I'm chuckling reading any post that mentions labor and delivery, as the initials you all type in make a smiley face!

15. Areas of nursing you would NOT like?

    NurseKellyKMo replied to Nursetobe25's topic in General Nursing

    I am saddened to see such negative things posted about doing home care. Yes am a home health nurse and I like it so far. My patients are more comfortable in their own homes. They are more receptive to pt education. Some cases the family is very invol...
