  1. RN bashing

    Thanks, SCRN. It's nice to have someone understand... :)
  2. RN bashing

    I may get in some hot water for this, but I'm not known for my meek demeanor. I am an LVN and I appreciate and respect RNs. In fact, I'll be one someday, so what's the point in bashing? I think a lot of this "RN bashing" is the fact that as an LVN, w...
  3. Survival Tips for First Year Nurses

    I am graduating in 8 days and will start working at a larger hospital than where I've done my clinicals and all of this advice is GREATLY appreciated. I'm going to make a list and print it out to keep it in plain view. Thanks to everyone!
  4. Your Worst Mistake

    I am also a student nurse and will be graduating in less than a month as an LVN, of which our main job is to give meds. I am thankful to you all for being brave enough to tell us your mistakes so that we may learn from them. I have yet to make a big ...
  5. I am a waitress part time, and to tell you the truth, most of the time I cannot tell the difference between waitressing and nursing...I've made this comparison many times and still stick to the fact: they're all always wanting something.
  6. Need to take Chem before A&P/Micro?

    I have never had a chemistry class in my life and will graduating with my LVN in May. Somehow, I found a loophole in my high school and was able to still graduate with high honors without chemistry. I felt like I was doing a great, sneaky thing, but ...
  7. Well it finally happened

    Tom, I can't even imagine the terror you must've felt to find out the pt was positive. A friend of mine just got stuck also. This is very frightening and it could be any of us, regardless of all the precautions we take. People don't seem to realize ...
  8. Was this really routine? On partial birth abortions

    *Just a warning, I am pro-life, so if you are pro-choice and believe this reply may offend you, please scroll away now.* I am sick and tired of the abortion advocates to be the one with the louder voice. In 4 out of 5 conversations about abortions I'...
  9. If I was not a nurse, I'd have been a university literature professor, writer and bookstore owner (not unlike BookPeople in Austin, Texas.) Sigh....ahh, to daydream for awhile.....
  10. Importance of the LPNS?

    I will be graduating in May as an LPN (here in Texas, LVN, of course) and as we delve deeper into the hospital realm of clinicals, I've begun to question the involvement of the LVN in certain specialty areas. Is it common to have a large demand for L...
  11. LPN Salaries

    Yes, I plan on continuing to my RN, BSN and eventually my Nurse Practitioners' License, but all in due time. I will graduate in May and will try to find a job, more than likely med/surg to gain experience and further my hands on education before emba...
  12. LPN Salaries

    Hi! Hope everyone is having a great new year so far. My question is this: what is the range for LPN salaries, perhaps just the most common. Most salary questions are answered by RNs, but I'm in LVN school and would like to know a little bit more abou...
  13. Great Expectations?!

    I am a student about to start the second semester of my LVN at a community college in Texas. I love the program and the instructors are extremely helpful and I regard their opinions in the highest, but I would like to have other nurse's opinions on t...
  14. Lubbock TX anyone??

    Hey guys! I'm relocating to Lubbock from Big Spring Texas in September/October and I was wondering if there was anyone out there from Lubbock that could give me some job tips or just tips about the scene in general. I'm graduating with my LVN in May ...
  15. Male nurse kills 40 patients...what do you think?

    Well, this subject will always be controversial and unfortunately I don't see an end to it in the near future. Because, not only are we dealing with the most taboo issues here i.e. politics and religion but we're also dealing with the quality of life...
