   Thank you for your reply. I had my interview today. I was very impressed with them. I have had interviews at 2 other agencies before and I was completely turned off. Didn't seem like they cared about pt. safety....wanted to just send people right...

   That would be one long song for the meds!!!! You would be singing for a few hours before you got to the medication you needed. Good Luck!

   Thanks everyone! I got my quick results from Pearson and I PASSED! I really can't believe it. Still kind of in shock I think. Now I can't wait to have that license in my hand!!! The anxiety is officially over though. Thanks again!

   bmackd2 replied to bmackd2's topic in NCLEX

   Thanks for that info. It is killing me. I am really disappointed in the NCLEX exam...whether I passed or not. I don't feel that it really tested my nursing capabilities. A competent nurse wouldn't just guess her patients symptoms from a medication...

   Hi everyone, I am sure there are many of you just as anxious as myself. I took my NCLEX PN in PA on Thursday. We have the quick result option available to us. Does it have to be exactly 48 hrs. from the time you took you test? I started mine at ab...

11. Stop smoking before school starts?

    bmackd2 replied to uglyrunt's topic in LPN/LVN Students

    You both can do it. I quit about 3 weeks ago...I think. I feel so much better now. I really LOVED to smoke. However ridiculous it sounds it was one of my favorite things to do. I still miss it a bit but I am so happy to have it done. I don't pan...

    I start August 27. My orientation is August 11th. I am anxious to get my schedule and find out about our uniforms. What do you think would be appropriate to wear to orientation? I was thinking business casual. I know that when I went for my inter...

    bmackd2 replied to LPN_in_the_making83's topic in LPN/LVN Students

    I live in PA too. My school is in Wilkes-Barre. My ride is 30 miles one way. Winters get tough here. It is pretty rural where I live so the roads aren't tended to the best. Hopefully we will have a mild winter and won't have to worry about it.

    I quit cold turkey but my hubby used meds. He first did the Wellbutrin. It worked well while he was on it. When he tapered off of it though all heck broke loose. I walked into our bedroom and he was on the bed crying. I asked him why and he said...
