  1. Ampule Question: Does this make sense?

    Hey, you've said it all!! You're in NURSING SCHOOL and they always teach us techniques that we sometimes never use in the "real world" Don't worry about it, just git 'er done!! Good luck!!
  2. Just lost my hearing in one ear- now what?

    I am so sorry to hear about your hearing loss. Would you be interested in working in a clinical setting? Research nursing? I think there are a lot of different opportunities you could look into. Or hey-I'd tell mgt and my coworkers my new predicamen...
  3. Vocational nurse training cost???

    Are there not community colleges or technical colleges with LVN/LPN programs in your area? I'm an LVN and I paid less than $6000 for a 15 month program at a technical college. I'd investigate other programs-there's got to be an excellent, affordabl...
  4. Can I be a nurse if I'm not a morning person?

    I know you're questioning about working day shifts, but what about nursing school itself? My classes started at 7AM. All my clinicals were 6AM to 3 PM!!! Just something you should think about.......
  5. How do you care for yourself??

    Prayer, Mani/Pedi's, facials, go to gym 5 days per week, try to eat healthy and laughter!!!! I leave my job at the door!!!

  7. SICK OF BEING A LPN

    I've never been disrespected by an RN, MA or MD-at least to my face- BECAUSE I don't allow them to. Keep your head up. If you walk around looking, acting and feeling "less than" you'll be treated that way. Show them what you're working with!! I am an...
  8. First semester LPN student

    Hi Linda, I truly know how you feel!! I completed LPN school 8 years ago but I remember the fear, stress, unsureness, terror, fatigue, incompetency you're probably feeling at this time. :chair: Kudos for getting into a study group-this is totally wha...
  9. Performing duties in the capacity of a licensed professional and signing off on them-This is on a totally different level than a loved one, church member, grandmother,etc. "nursing a loved one back to health.
  10. Panola College ADN and/or on-line ADN program?

    Yes, I'm an LVN hoping to bridge if I can find a program that fits my needs. The school in Kansas (Pratt Community College) with the on-line bridge requires that students come to campus 4 times for the program. This can vary but of course I can make ...
  11. I've heard MANY docs introduce the MA's as "my nurse" so I don't think the MA's are being pressured by the docs-I think the docs are at fault for allowing and accepting and promoting this-especially in the clinics. I'm an LVN and MA's are taking over...
  12. Turf wars may have cost me my dream job

    ITA with caliotter3. You talked too much!! I would have mentioned applying for the other position and nothing further....bad mouthing a manager during an interview WITH HR???!!! I admire you for defending other nurses, and finding the manager unprof...
  13. Panola College ADN and/or on-line ADN program?

    Thanks TXRN2B13-What other programs are you interested in? I've checked DNI and they are too expensive and unaccredited-so they would be my last resort. El Centro College wants med-surg job experience prior to admittance-which I don't have. I'm looki...
  14. Where was your first LPN job????

    Congratulations jommit52!!!!! :ancong!: Remember to be positive, ask questions if you're unsure about anything, earn the respect and trust of your CNA's and they will respect you, AND; this may not be your first choice or your "dream" job but it's yo...
  15. Panola College ADN and/or on-line ADN program?

    No I haven't called them-wanted to talk with someone whose actually done or is doing the program first. I'm not ready to attend just yet but I'm trying to find out about several programs to find the right fit!!
