3. Overwhelmed at my new job..

   nikkimgxo replied to nikkimgxo's topic in Career Support

   Thank you, I've trained a lot more and am slowly getting more and more comfortable. I'm just a very impatient person and expected to understand everything right away, like I usually do. But it's apparent that this is not how it works, haha. All the p...

4. Discouraged after first day training on new job :(

   nikkimgxo replied to SP1CEGRL's topic in Geriatric

   Only 3 days to train?! I'm a brand new LPN as well and I've been training at my job for 3 weeks now and I'm still not completely comfortable being on my own! You definitely need to let someone know that you need more orientation time, you need to fee...

10. Problems with Exiting School

    nikkimgxo replied to nikkimgxo's topic in Student Assist

    Yes, they require us to pass the exit exam in order for us to NCLEX. I'm going in on Friday to take the test, yet again. If I have another problem, I am going to talk to her in regards to this non sense. And I'm not sure what the people who are payin...

11. Problems with Exiting School

    nikkimgxo posted a topic in Student Assist

    I attended a nursing school in NJ (I don't want to mention the name.. yet) and it has been a complete nightmare and the worst experience of my entire life. I finished all the courses in May 2010 and even attended a HORRIBLE graduation in December. I...
