  1. I just don't know anything!

    So, I am a fairly new grad starting working in Sept 08, I love what i do, but honestly I am a high paid cna/ with med aid abilities. I am frustrated because of the fact i feel as if I am now under educated. I get stressed because I sometimes feel l...

  3. LPN's Getting No Respect

    I agree! I do the stuff that none of the RN's want to do. They sure cry when LPN's call in and they are un-available to come in and they have to do pt care. Well not all RN's! I am proud of what I do and I refuse to let anybody put me down.
  4. Going Off Orientation

    I feel the same way...I am LPN and I have 5 shifts left of orientation and I am kind of nervous too. My preceptor has also started telling me to go and do my thing while she just hangs in the wings making it easier for me when I do transition. In ...
  5. I never thought I would say this...

    But I am wondering what I was thinking. I am just in a rut, in just 2 months. It started by hating med passes (we don't do them often where I work but it is done at least 1x a month) I left crying because i was overwhelmed. Then next med pass....i ...
  6. Are you content at LVN level?

    Well, I guess 55 was a "starting point" haha! We currently have a LPN on our floor that is 62 and can't do her job to her full capacity and won't transfer because she makes more money working where she is. She states she doesn't have enough money t...
  7. Are you content at LVN level?

    I don't have any problem being a LPN I love what I do and where I do it! I make great money (for my area of course) and I could live just off of my income. However I do eventually want to be a RN, yes money is important since I do have a family. ...
  8. Is doing the LVN program even worth it? or just go for the RN?

    If you are able to go for the RN program then GO! The LPN is a great way for somebody who can't take the 2 years for the RN and still be a nurse and gain experience. I love that I went and did my LPN the program was easy to get into and now in 1 yea...
  9. No respect for LVN's/LPN's

    I honestly believe people who have attitudes about things such as LPN/RN's also have attitudes in other aspects of their life. This is their issue not mine. I am an LPN and so proud. RN's at my job do nothing with the pt's. Paperwork, and a few I...
  10. What is medication test for VA hospital include

    This was is my 1st job too! I had already been hired, and mind you I don't think there is a "standardized test". It was all of the above as far as labs, mainly sodium was used in mine. We had some mini case study ones that needed safe dose and pa...
  11. What is medication test for VA hospital include

    The test was 100 questions for us. It covered basic medication information, there were drug calculations so def. review those. Lab values were included and safe doses. We also had some critical thinking questions that were very vague. We were told...
  12. Major dilemma- can anyone help?

    If you are offered a great position to work as a nurse, I would take whatever is offered and suck it up knowing it will be what you want! I work nights and I HATE IT! But I know I will work hard and get into days eventually! Best of luck!
  13. Feeling stupid

    I feel the same! I am training and I feel like a huge idiot! Some days I wonder what I was doing going into nursing! I love it more than any other job I have ever had. I am happy and I known I will eventually become a confidant nurse! I have onl...
