1. Why doesn't the nursing profession support LPNs?

   EowynRN replied to amari's topic in LPN/LVN

   where you trying to get in? NHCC? I just graduated from the E/W program there - they actually bumped the E/W class size to let a lot of extra LPN's in because we had hardly any nurses fail out first year - so it's a good bet.

   I think you are misusing the word humble here.

3. Why doesn't the nursing profession support LPNs?

   EowynRN replied to amari's topic in LPN/LVN

   I'm actually not sure if you'd pass the NCLEX-RN. See, there are these questions that might say something like "You have 2 RN's, an LPN, and a CNA working the shift, which patient would you assign to the LPN?" Since you do everything the RN does no...

4. Good Pop Up

   EowynRN replied to babe48076's topic in NCLEX

   I got mine without a deity - but I got the good popup too, and passed today. Hard work and studying also doesn't fail! :yelclap:

5. Pearson Vue Trick - Does it Work Every Time? Part 2

   EowynRN replied to Silverdragon102's topic in NCLEX

   I passed! woot! and the good popup worked yesterday. Also I got 22/75 SATA - and yes it does matter. The more you get, the higher level question you are answering.

6. Protocol for HIV partner notification

   EowynRN replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Nursing

   It's their responsibility - otherwise it's HIPPA. If you saw a ex-HIV patient on the street with a partner, would you walk up and say something? Nope, because it's a HIPPA violation. At least you know that if that patient is on treatment and using p...

7. Great First Day!!!

   EowynRN replied to seamang2's topic in General Nursing

   You sound way more enthusiastic than me on my first clincial - I was just scared. I had to do deep breathing exercises before I went in and said hi to the patient. I would say just relax, make sure you take care of your patient first. The nice thin...

8. Interesting thoughts on autonomy

   EowynRN replied to Elvish's topic in Ob/Gyn

   Yeah, I agree. I had to argue tooth and nail to have my pit stopped with baby #2 once I was in active labor, and they still refused. I finally gave up as it got so painful. I'm just going back (to only 6 months ago) and still wondering where my righ...

9. Lots of SATA questions for June NCLEX testers???

   EowynRN replied to jaznia15's topic in NCLEX

   I just took mine today and had 22/75 SATA and I got the good popup. Only very few med questions, so hope I passed.

    I got the good popup!!!! I think this means I pass - I mean I know it does, but I can't believe it yet. That test was sooooooo hard.

11. Pearson Vue Trick - Does it Work Every Time? Part 2

    EowynRN replied to Silverdragon102's topic in NCLEX

    So just to clarify mine says ready for delivery int he little corner, and I can't do this until it says delivery is successful? I live 10 min from my testing center and I just got done. holy cow that was a crazy test. 22 SATA out of 75

12. Ever experience a patient's family member grieving in an odd way?

    EowynRN replied to shhhh's topic in General Nursing

    Ahh, the problem with posting things on the interwebs. No matter how well you try to explain things, you leave out info, and then come back to 20 nurses who all wonder what the heck is going on. With the added information, yes definitely a strange ...

13. white scrub tops and males

    EowynRN replied to jltbone's topic in Men

    Yikes. Did you just say "gay looking" and you're going to be a nurse? 1. Nurses need to be more PC than that. 2. Let's be honest, if you're worrying about looking gay, you probably shouldn't be a nurse. You need to be more comfortable in your sex...

14. Ever experience a patient's family member grieving in an odd way?

    EowynRN replied to shhhh's topic in General Nursing

    I have little experience with death and dying, but this seems within the realm of normal to me. If my husband were dying, I would want to give him as much physical contact as possible. I might not go to that level, but I would definitely try to cud...

15. Qbank Score Help

    EowynRN replied to BetterMeRN's topic in NCLEX

    General rule of thumb is 60% or higher on tests 6 and 7 according to my kaplan instructor. I got 63% on test7 yesterday and I take my NCLEX tomorrow - currently freaking out.
