1. Losing interest in nursing major

   MontanaNurse78 replied to cinder06's topic in General Nursing

   I'm not going to say do it or don't do it, that is a decision that only you can make. However, from your postings I almost think that you have already made up your mind. I NEVER enjoyed science classes when I was younger, but in nursing school it w...

2. New Grad settled for office job! help1

   MontanaNurse78 replied to HopeJade's topic in LPN/LVN

   Try not to focus on the negative of what you are NOT getting out of your new position, but instead focus on the positive of what you ARE getting from this new position. Every setting has pro's & con's and offers areas that you get a lot of exper...

3. Trying to see if nursing is for me?!

   MontanaNurse78 replied to pumpkin1984's topic in LPN/LVN

6. Are you content at LVN level?

   MontanaNurse78 replied to 53Kalypso's topic in LPN/LVN

   P.S. Always remember, it's not the letters after the name, it's the person that makes the nurse. It doesn't matter LPN/LVN or RN we all have our strengths and our weaknesses, and it's a decision we make to do a job well or not. As for the older nu...

7. Are you content at LVN level?

   MontanaNurse78 replied to 53Kalypso's topic in LPN/LVN

   First of all, I want to say that being an LPN/LVN is a very respectable accomplishment and going for your RN is not required to feel good about being a nurse. Second, don't let others tell you what to do based on what they wish they had done or not d...
