1. New LPN having a hard time finding work!!!

   LiqueXX replied to NucieNuce's topic in LPN/LVN

   I am in the same situation. I got lucky by looking for a mentoring program (Interim Healthcare) in my area. I asked on interviewer the same question, "how am I supposed to get experience if no one will hire me because I am a new grad?" They had no re...

   One difference I heard was that a BSN makes it easier to go into management.

3. NCLEX-PN ....PASSED!

   LiqueXX replied to Michigan30's topic in NCLEX

   Congrats on passing. I hear that alot of people who passed leave the test feeling like they failed. Could you give us tips on what you did to study?

4. Hiring Freeze and New Grad

   LiqueXX replied to natrgrrl's topic in General Nursing

   Honestly, I have never thought of just applying in hospitals. As a new grad in Ohio working in a LTC was and is a given (there are not many hospitals hiring LPNs). That being said, I think you have to be flexible, examples are, you can commute, work ...

   LiqueXX replied to Pakie27's topic in General Nursing

   Also, per Suzanne's sticky (at the top of the forum) you should have Saunder's Comp book all depending on what NCLEX you are studying for. It also states you must go through the end of chapter tests.

   LiqueXX replied to kmg265's topic in NCLEX

   I am so happy you passed. I was going to say that you should not assume you failed before finding out your results but there is no need for that. Good luck with your nursing career.

   LiqueXX replied to acissej's topic in NCLEX

   Congrats! I agree that people need to sometimes just believe that they can accomplish something.

8. Try Not to Panic Over NCLEX!

   LiqueXX replied to jjnmrsmom's topic in NCLEX

   I think that the OP makes a valid point. I have never had test anxiety before studying for the NCLEX. I don't like the feeling and I think that it will effect my result. So, I am now working to calm my anxiety as well as study for the actual test.

10. Thinking it's time to get my RN

    LiqueXX replied to BigB's topic in LPN/LVN

    I am definitely going on to get my RN. I agree with others, being an LPN is very limiting, and it seems like there are more opportunities in being an RN. I was going to got the LPN to BSN route but I think I am going to get my ADN first because it ta...

    LiqueXX replied to jth5148's topic in LPN/LVN

    Have you tried calling up the various hospitals and nursing homes in the area and asking if they are hiring or are you just looking at help wanted ads? Also, I think the commuting idea is a good one, I am going to be job hunting soon after I take the...

12. Getting that first job

    LiqueXX replied to Jeanette8605's topic in LPN/LVN

    In our last quarter of school we were told to apply to jobs even if they asked for experience. One student in my class suggested call up nursing homes in the area and asking about jobs because not everyone who needs nurses advertise.
