   ksnurseling replied to Brian's topic in Relations

   ]Yes nurses eat their young. Where do you think that saying came from? It sure didn't come from a new grad that was welcomed into the open "nurturing" arms of a 20 or 30 year veteran nurse! One doesn't necessarily have to be a new grad even, just new...

   Hey everyone! I found out today that I won't be able to go to my second year. Really sucks, but anyway, I've been looking online because I can do that. (Can't afford not to work fulltime) Does anyone have experience with an online program? I need in...

9. New Here; Not Feeling Right During Clinicals

   ksnurseling replied to ALS SoCal's topic in LPN/LVN Students

   I'm a new LPN. I had hard instructors and hard clinical nurses. Sometimes its sink or swim. You probably know more than you realize. Take a deep breath and just do it. Have confidence in yourself and your patients will have confidence in you. Goo...
