   Miss Cola replied to chrisvelleyg's topic in Florida

   I am a grad of the Sheridan LPN program and I was very pleased with the education I received. I was prepared for the workforce and it gave me a great basis to build upon. I am almost done with the LPN -RN program and Broward College. I know it may be...

3. Weight gain?

   Miss Cola replied to hawksrn2014's topic in General Students

   It pains me to say I gained back all of the 40 lbs I lost prior to starting nursing school. I was doing good for a while but I got overloaded and my routine fell apart. I have one semester left and I am anxious to get back to my old life!!! :)

5. Cause of a dried up black uvula?

   Miss Cola replied to ws582's topic in Hospice

   The points you have mentioned are some of the reasons why palliative care can be so controversial. We will never know what these patients are experiencing. In hospice, no two cases are alike. While I don't know all the details of this case, it soun...

6. Suicide on unit

   Miss Cola replied to as1234's topic in General Nursing

   I can understand that sick-to-your-stomach kind of feeling because I have dealt with this situation. My patient took her life during the night. She had opted out of nightly room checks, which is not uncommon in our facility, an assisted living. So we...

   Miss Cola replied to Miss Cola's topic in Florida

   I am going NUTS trying to find a pair of scrub bottoms that fit me well. I really don't want to have to go to a tailor unless I absolutely have to! The pair I found is just a tad bit off from color of the top. I hope it wont be a big deal. Guess I wi...

10. Broward College LPN-RN Transition May 2011

    Miss Cola replied to Miss Cola's topic in Florida

    Well I'm not exactly sure what range of scores they are looking for as far as the HESI is concerned. What I do know is that the national average is 70 percent. I have heard that they do pay close attention to the score you receive. Also I have heard ...

    Miss Cola replied to supermodelnurse2b's topic in Florida

    Hi Big Dreamer! I really felt like Sheridan did a great job at preparing me for the NCLEX. I just bought a review booklet before I took the test and I was good to go. Testing is always stressful (for everyone, I would imagine) but for the most part ...

    I started working at an ALF 6 months ago-my first job as an LPN. So far, I feel like I made a great decision. I have to admit though, I was looking for work about 3 months and I happened to stumble upon this job by accident. At the time I had no clue...

14. I might gag

    Miss Cola replied to MzGurl's topic in LPN/LVN

    I've had the gag-sessions many times. I always try to put myself in the patient's place-it is super-embarassing to be incontinent, and it is a horrible feeling to have someone help you with something private and personal, that you can't do for yourse...

    Miss Cola replied to sparkle823tami's topic in LPN/LVN

    I work at an ALF-101 unit facility- and most times I am the only LPN in the building. At first this was REALLY scary to me !!! Sometimes I still play the "what-if" game with myself. But once you get to know the CNA's at your facility and if the pat...
