3. Did you work while in Nursing school?

   NurseKatSteeZ replied to emily_ganshert's topic in General Nursing

   LVN program, No I didn't work while in school because my parents supported my then 19 year old self 100%. But once I'm in the RN program, I'm sure I'll work as an LVN PRN. Everyone is different. Some can do both work/school, while others can do sc...

7. Why did you choose Nursing?

   NurseKatSteeZ replied to RNstudentwithQ's's topic in General Nursing

   It's what I've always wanted to be. My mom has been a CNA for 20 years now. Before my Dad migrated to the US, my mom pretty much was a single mother. When I wouldn't have a sitter, she'd sneak me into the nursing home she was working at, and I wo...

   Hello. I'm an LVN at an LTC as well. I only work part time due to babysitter matters and schooling. I have only been a nurse for 16 months. A few months ago, I was scheduled as an orientee to the shift supervisor. Mind you, I work the 3-11 shift...

10. Disrespectful Nurse aids

    NurseKatSteeZ replied to holdensjane's topic in General Nursing

    You know what, I think they just feel like they CAN do this to you because of your age and because you are a new nurse. I, myself, get this from some of my CNA's. I feel like I'm not assertive enough, or that I'm too nice. But they really do walk ...

    NurseKatSteeZ posted a topic in LPN/LVN

    I have learned it the hard way.......... I can't be a self-study, self-paced student. I need someone to lecture me. I need the traditional theory and interact with other students. Too bad I have this damn contract with the College Network. I am curre...

    NurseKatSteeZ replied to LiLi103's topic in LPN/LVN

    Go back to Nursing school, for sure. Where are you from? In California, LVN's make more than Dental Assistants. Isn't there a diff. between a Dental Asst. vs. a Registered Dental Asst.?

    I am currently on the LVN-BSN track w/ The College Network/ISU. I am now considering going to West Coast University for the 9 month program. I am stuck in a contract w/ TCN, and I have regrets for the program route I am in. Just like you, I have a...
