  1. So Stressed & Aggravated At My Job

    I said the same thing and was told that the receptionist had said that she was the only one up front and could not go out to the parking lot looking for the patient and somehow the responsibility for making sure a patient is seen when he walks out of...
  2. So Stressed & Aggravated At My Job

    I have posted a few times before about my physicians office job as a LPN (the receptionist promoted to office manager because the hospital could find no one else for the job and the office being so disorganized..etc...) and it seems like now every we...
  3. I graduated from nursing school in fall of last year and began working as a LPN in a physician's practice owned by a hospital back at the end of January 2009. The staff that I joined had been together for at least two years before the practice was p...
  4. Constantly Getting Thrown Under The Bus by Fellow Nurse

    please hold off the attack and exclamation points. i apologize if you misunderstood but i do not refer to her attitude as "yankeeness" my co-worker coined this term of "yankeeness" herself. maybe i should have worded my post differently to make it un...
  5. Constantly Getting Thrown Under The Bus by Fellow Nurse

    I have decided to meet with my NP on Monday morning and talk to her about what is going on. Thank you all for your wonderful advice.
  6. This is a very long post and I apologize in advance for its length but I have an enormous workplace issue that I need some advice in solving. I am a new LPN, just graduated in August 2008 and passed my boards in September 2008. I landed my second j...
  7. I just passed the NCLEX-PN on September 19th and after nearly a month of job searching I finally found a LTC facility that is interested. The facilitiy is about 40 miles away from my home which isn't very good because of the gas prices but when the D...
  8. NCLEX-PN cut off @ 85 today! I want to cry.

    I took my NCLEX-PN earlier this morning and it cut off at 85. I just wanted to scream and shake the computer screen. I felt like I didn't know anything. I have counted at least eleven questions that I've gotten wrong already and that was with easy st...
  9. Stressed and Depressed Graduate to Be

    i do understand that there are limitations as to what the lpn can do, so i definitely did not go into this thinking that i was going to graduate and get a job in an icu or anything, but i did think that i was going to get a well-rounded learning expe...
  10. Stressed and Depressed Graduate to Be

    i graduate (hopefully) from my lpn progam on july 30 and i am so stressed out and depressed. we have just returned from our break today and out class work for the 10 week session is overwhelming, and now the whole "okay, so what's next" dread that i'...
  11. failed clincials...done for the semester (long post)

    I beleive there is favoritism too. I'm constantly being compared to other students but these are the same students that listen to lung sounds through clothing and show up to clincal site without stethoscopes. One day I left my penlight in the car a...
  12. I posted previously that I had been placed on a clinical action plan on April 17th with only 3 clincial days left in the semester and today I was told that I still wasn't functioning on the level of a second semester student and I wouldn't be moving ...
  13. placed on Clinical Action plan...again (another long post--sorry)

    As the OP, I think that I've been misunderstood in my first post. I never said that I don't take responsibility for my actions. As I was writing my post, I wrote objectively listing what I did and what my CI's response was, not as an excuse to blam...
  14. At the beginning of the semester in January, I was placed on a clincial action plan for my clinical performance. I did several labs on campus and wasn't allowed to go back to the clinical site until after spring break which was the second week of Ma...
  15. help...i think i'm failing clinical (kinda long)

    Well, I'm going to meet with my CI tommorrow. I don't want to fail and I don't want to get kicked out of the clincial rotations because I've already been on clinical remediation earlier this semester. I feel like I should plead my case. I am work...
