1. Can anyone tell me if this is possible? Work and school.

   Lachrymologist replied to Lachrymologist's topic in General Students

   Ok. Well, it would appear that NSU is out of the question. My local community college just opened up a nursing program. Aren't community colleges supposed to be more flexible? Think that would be an ok option? Doing a complete online degree is a last...

2. Can anyone tell me if this is possible? Work and school.

   Lachrymologist replied to Lachrymologist's topic in General Students

   You think they'll know? I've been up here for over two years and a lot of my time has been spent reading. If there is nothing to do there is nothing to do. I'm not going to just sit and stare. Thanks anyway.

3. Can anyone tell me if this is possible? Work and school.

   Lachrymologist replied to Lachrymologist's topic in General Students

   I actually have quite a bit of down time at work. So I don't see that being too big of an issue. My main issue is just being able to stay at work 40 hrs per week so I can pay my rent and bills, and keep food in my belly and clothes on my back.

4. Can anyone tell me if this is possible? Work and school.

   Lachrymologist replied to Lachrymologist's topic in General Students

   Well, I need to mention that cutting back on my work hours is NOT an option. I'm already struggling financially as it is (this job doesn't pay very well) so there's no way I can afford to lose hours. This job is also EXTREMELY laid back. I have a lot...

   First, I apologize if I posted this in an inappropriate forum. Second, I know this question has been asked before but my situation is a little different. I'm planning on going to Northwestern State University in Shreveport and want to know if it woul...

6. Drug testing issue.

   Lachrymologist replied to Lachrymologist's topic in General Nursing

   I'm worried because I've never taken a drug test before. Believe me, I don't do drugs. I've always been too paranoid to subject myself to various chemicals. I did talk to someone tonight who told me, before I even mentioned vitamins, that a multivita...

   Don't they have to let me retake the test on the off chance that my fears are realized?

   Nevermind...

9. Drug testing issue.

   Lachrymologist replied to Lachrymologist's topic in General Nursing

   No, they did not ask me for a list of medications I'm on. Not sure why... Thank you for your response. And that link doesn't seem to be working. I also wanted to mention that I've read they also look at the color of the urine and if its too bright or...

10. Drug testing issue.

    Lachrymologist posted a topic in General Nursing

    I just took a drug test for a job that I was offered today. I'm a new LPN and this is my first drug test ever. Well, I take a vitamin b every morning. And as I was sitting there looking at my urine I could see that it was the bright, neon yellow it a...

11. Terrified of getting a job.

    Lachrymologist posted a topic in LPN/LVN

    I've been out of school for two months. Just passed my boards about a month ago. But frankly, the school I went to was so poor that I literally feel like I learned nothing. I'm afraid that when I do finally get a job they're going to have to teach me...

12. Took the NCLEX-PN. Got hardly any priority.

    Lachrymologist replied to Lachrymologist's topic in NCLEX

    I think I should be able to come here to vent and ask questions with out being told to chill. Its condescending and in no way helpful.

13. Took the NCLEX-PN. Got hardly any priority.

    Lachrymologist posted a topic in NCLEX

    And i've heard that lots of priority questions is supposed to be a good thing. It shut off at 85. I felt like I knew nothing and most of my questions consisted of "Which indicates your patient has an understanding" or "which indicates the lpn has an ...

14. ADNs and forensic nursing.

    Lachrymologist posted a topic in Forensic

    As of right now I am working towards my LPN. I should be graduating in December. After I get my LPN I intend to get my ADN and I'm very interested in forensic nursing. I just read a post not too long ago that stated that in order to be a SANE you mu...
