1. Should a gay male LPN reveal his sexual orientation...

   lvn2rncali replied to LPNTO's topic in LPN/LVN

   Why would you ever think of revealing your sexual orientation to anyone in the workplace, especially with patients? Your personal life is no one's business!! I think it's inappropriate for you to share personal things at work; there's so much that ca...

2. What does Florence Nightingale mean to you?

   lvn2rncali replied to Joe V's topic in Rock

   Florence Nightingale was a pioneer and important trailblazer that contributed a great deal to the nursing profession. However I wish that Mary E. Mahoney, the first black professional nurse, could also be recognized for her contributions.

3. UTA (Arlington, TX)

   lvn2rncali replied to radoncnurse's topic in NP Students

   Hi there. I applied to UTA for Summer 2012 and found the experience to be frustrating and I was not impressed. There's an impersonal feel to the school and program as a whole. You get transferred to this person or the next, all without straight answe...

   lvn2rncali replied to infinity_rn's topic in Excelsior

   Hi there. Don't worry, you will be ok. I am an Excelsior graduate and have been through it all...the tests, FCCA, CPNE and NCLEX. My advice to you is for you to really hunker down and be very diligent about the studies. I know it seems like review of...

7. CPNE site.

   lvn2rncali replied to Diva LOVE's topic in Excelsior

   Hi there. I took the CPNE in Lubbock, TX and it was fine. Tough, but fine. If you go there, stay at the Baymont Inn. You get luxury for a small amount of money as compared to the not so great places in the same price range. I didn't take Sheri's Onli...

8. Gift ideas for a preceptor? (school nurse)

   lvn2rncali replied to brillohead's topic in School

   The bandages is a cute idea. A lot of Nurses love coffee...get your preceptor a nice card and a Starbucks gift card. And I agree with Patti_RN, stay in touch periodically and apprise her of all the great things you're doing. She will love it!

13. Missed NCLEX date anything I can do?

    lvn2rncali replied to blinky's topic in NCLEX

    You've taken the NCLEX twice already, why the shock over the process? You should be used to it already. The rules are the rules. And though they may not make sense to you, they have to be followed. You come across as really angry, even towards people...

    lvn2rncali replied to Silverdragon102's topic in NCLEX

    I took NCLEX-RN on Saturday. I was so nervous, my goodness...what an experience. I had one SATA after another!! I also had lots of priority and infection control, as well. When I got to 74, I was thinking that if it shut off soon, then that means I r...
