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...
Hello everyone, Was hoping for some help. I have been an LPN for 18 months now. I currently work at an inpatient drug/alcohol detox unit. I have applied to Bayada and have an interview tomorrow. They are aware that my experience is not med surg. ...
Wow....that's a great way to memorize it! If only I had it on Thursday when I took my boards...lol. I found out today that I passed....yay. The original poster is correct. My test had quite a few infection control questions. I really had to think a...
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!
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...
I was in a similar situation last year. The wait list for the ASN RN was 2years not including prereqs. I didn't know what to do. I was 34 at the time and I didn't want to waster those 2 years waiting. I enrolled in a private LPN program and I will...

I know this is on old post but I thought I would pull it out of the cobwebs. I can't believe I posted this over a year ago. I am very happy and PROUD to say that I will graduate soon..only about 40 days of school left. I wanted to pull this back up ...
Hi there, I start my LPN course this Wednesday. I am also very nervous. I have been waiting for years to be able to go. My goal is to do my LPN and then I will be doing a weekend program for RN. I didn't think I would be able to handle going righ...
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...

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...
