   fifi2323 posted a topic in General Nursing

   I hope that my question does not offend or demean anyone or their education,I really would just like to know- In one of my previous posts I mentioned my negative experience in an LPN program. I am thinking about trying again,but this time as an RN..I...

   Sorry for the delay in response-I just wanted to thank you all for your support and kind words of encouragement.I don't know if I will pursue nursing right away,butI haven't given up hope yet! :)

3. I don't know if I can do this-again (long)

   fifi2323 posted a topic in General Nursing

   I am hesitant to write this,as I don't want to be dramatic,but it is weighing on me very heavily. I started an LPN program in Aug. 07,and was expelled due to 'lack of clinical competency' or something like that...It is a long,complicated story which ...

4. Personal Care Assistant Issues (long!)

   fifi2323 posted a topic in General Nursing

   Ok,so this isn't a nursing thread per se,but I am having a dilemma,and am in desperate need of advice! I just started a job as a 'part-time' PCA for a quadraplegic man in his 30's. He is pleasant,but meticulous and demanding (I understand he probabl...

5. I hope this thread isn't wasting your time..

   fifi2323 posted a topic in General Nursing

   I'm sorry if this is a ridiculous question,but I am starting a LPN program on August 28th-so clearly I'm a nervous wreck!! Anyway,I had planned to wear a conservative outfit on Tues,but I hear it supposed to be in the 80's with high humidity. Upon h...

6. Venipuncture in LPN school?

   fifi2323 posted a topic in General Nursing

   I am going to be starting an lpn program in August '07-and am scared to death btw! Anyway I currently work in a physicians office,(as a secretary)and I really like the idea of ambulatory care (for the time being anyway:) Will they teach you any of t...

7. So I got in..Now what?

   fifi2323 posted a topic in General Nursing

   So I haven't been on this site since October,as I had been very busy with a new job and living on my own. Since then,a lot has happened. I have moved back in with the 'rents-as I was planning to do once my lease was up in Feb.07- Since January I have...

8. OHHH I feel silly asking this!

   fifi2323 replied to Coloradogrl's topic in LPN/LVN

   Don't feel silly,if you don't know the answer you should always ask. I am not a nurse yet,I'm not even a student,but my bf's mom is an LPN in an LTC facility and she wears what I like to call 'fun scrubs'-a shirt with prints on it and a coordinating ...

9. My back up plan

   fifi2323 posted a topic in LPN/LVN Students

   I've been in the process of applying for the LPN program at my local voc. school,and even though I don't exactly have a stellar educational history,I figured I'd do well enough on the NET to get in to the program. I opf course will get a study guide,...

10. I Cant Make Up My Mind Pease Help!!!!!

    fifi2323 replied to godsend213's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Godsend, I can totally relate to your post! I have chosen to go the LPN route for a few reasons one,the program I am entering in to doesn't require pre-reqs which always messed me up. Secondly its accelerated,so I can be working in 10 months,third be...

11. Question about NCLEX-PN

    fifi2323 posted a topic in NCLEX

    I hope this isn't a dumb question,and I'm sorry if it is I just am a pre-nursing student and have a lot of questions about how things work. Anyway,I was wondering why they have you graduate the program before taking your licensure exam? What happens ...

12. Entrance exam

    fifi2323 replied to hlc92's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Hi semi-fly I don't know if this is helpful or not,but my school of choice highly recommends a NET study guide. Eriworld.com used to sell them for $30 ish but I couldn't get the site up when I checked ( i didnt want to give you wrong info) Try this l...

13. Jobs that pay for nursing school

    fifi2323 replied to real1143's topic in Connecticut

    Unfortunately I dont know,however if this is true it would be awesome! I know from previous employers that they will pay to you to further your education only if it pertains to the field that you're currently in (i.e a bank paying for a finace degree...

14. 'Unhealthy' nurses...bad examples?

    fifi2323 replied to fifi2323's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sorry to have caused controversy..I was just curious since I will be going in to nursing and I am overweight,and I was wondering what peoples experiences were.I tend to be a worrier,and was concerned how it would be for me. Of course it is not ri...

15. 'Unhealthy' nurses...bad examples?

    fifi2323 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I hope this post doesn't offend anyone,but I have noticed a lot of the nurses I know are overweight,smokers or both. Obviously people become nurses because they completed school,and are qualified to do their jobs,which has nothing to do with physical...
