2. New Nurse Help

   LPNVa2Ny replied to Amanda2121's topic in LPN/LVN

   Hello, I feel for you, it sounds like you may have gotten overwhelmed. If you don't like working holidays and weekends, maybe working at a clinic may be best for you. If you like nursing...don't give up. It takes time to adjust from "school nursing" ...

6. LPN Searching For Work

   LPNVa2Ny replied to dlab24's topic in New York

   Hello, from my experience, they only want LPNs with at least 1 to 2 years of experience, so I eventually ended up working at a nursing home.

9. LPN to ADN while working, Possible?

   LPNVa2Ny replied to Derek1975's topic in LPN-RN

   Its possible but ultimately only you will know if that is the right decision (family?, enough hours to study etc...) and a big advantage is that when you graduate as an RN you will have the experience. It seems nowadays they want nurses with experien...

10. How many nurses are tired of being a nurse?

    LPNVa2Ny replied to ardiente's topic in LPN-RN

    With a year experience that feels like I have been in nursing for 10 years I am tired of no respect for new grads when they come onto the floor, short staffed all the time, next nurse coming onto shift constantly shows up late and management doesn't...

11. Should I stop @ lpn or go on and get my rn?

    LPNVa2Ny replied to toshaann5's topic in LPN-RN

    My advice would be make sure nursing is for you once you start working. Because the clinicals at school and the "real world" are two different worlds (i.e more patients, no teacher checking after you). Then if it is, continue your education and becom...

    This was my LPN school :)... I was wondering who are the teachers there now? I see they still have that same polyester uniform lol.

15. New Grad LPN!

    LPNVa2Ny replied to StudentCAM's topic in LPN/LVN Students

    Although I graduated awhile ago just wanted to say CONGRATS. Keep everyone posted with your transition to becoming an RN because that's what I am currently doing. It seems like your school made it easier for all the LPNs to transition. With my school...
