  1. First LPN Job, 5 day orientation, 1:40+ patients...advice?

    Thanks everyone. So far my role as treatment nurse for 2-3 floors works out for me. However, I still don't have enough experience as a medpass nurse but I'm getting there...I think.
  2. First LPN Job, 5 day orientation, 1:40+ patients...advice?

    Thanks guys. Being an LPN, my choices are quite limited since all LTC facilities here have a 1:40 patient ratio. Almost none of the hospitals hire LPNs nowadays so that leaves me to either work at a clinic or LTC. I'm just not sure as to how long the...
  3. It's my first job as a nurse...hurray! But holy crap I did not expect it to be this difficult. I haven't finished my orientation yet but I feel that a week is definitely not enough for any novice nurse to learn the routine in LTC facilities. I did fa...
  4. How to order LPN Certificate/License Card?

    Just contacted BON. Apparently, they entered the wrong address into their system so my license was sent to someone else. BLAH~ Now they want me to either go to my local post-office and look for a mail without a tracking number or ask my distant neig...
  5. Lets get a current salary thread going for 09/10

  6. It's been more than a month since I passed my NCLEX-PN. I took it Sept. 6 and I was officially licensed on the 16th. Most of my classmates took theirs a week or two after I did and they all received their certificate in the mail already. I'm trying m...
  7. NCLEX-PN Harder or easier than you thought?

    Definitely harder. You're gonna get questions about drugs and situations you've never even thought of before and you have to think of the rationale for each option. I took my time with each question - mainly because I got tons of prioritization Qs an...
  8. NCLEX-PN Harder or easier than you thought?

    I'll let you know in 2 days lol. I'm taking the NCLEX PN. Since you have some more time to study, I'd suggest looking at other resources, if you have not done that yet. ATI might be enough for some but I think most people look elsewhere for better st...
  9. NCLEX-PN - PASSED!

    Congratulations! :nmbrn: I'm taking mine this Tuesday at 8AM. Scared, anxious, but I'm feeling good about the exam. How was the NCLEX-PN compared to say, Saunders or ATI?
  10. Saunders / ATI and the NCLEX-PN

    Hi I'm taking the NCLEX-PN on Sept. 6 and like everyone who has ever been in this situation, I am scared and I feel extremely anxious. I graduated with grades around 80s and 90s this past June. I've been studying for the past 2 months (heavy study f...
