   lisalpn06 replied to nurseluv9's topic in Indiana

   Sorry, I don't. No one seems to want to talk about how much they make. Someone told me that all lpn's make the same, regardless of experience, but I hardly think that would be fair, ya know? But, like I said, I really don't know. They are looking...

   I am working at my first job as a new lpn, at a correctional facility, and am making $20.50 an hour. This is for afternoon shift, which I hate. Pay will go down to $18.50 when/if I ever make it to days.

   lisalpn06 replied to debinurse0303's topic in LPN/LVN Students

   Practically everyone who takes it feels the same way!! When I left the building, I already knew that I bombed it big time.....but I passed!! Lots of people only get 85 questions and think they failed, but they passed. I'm sure you will find out so...

8. What does your nursing uniform look like?

   lisalpn06 replied to Princess74's topic in General Students

   My uniform is a very ugly hunter green polo, very heavy, stiff white pants, and a very heavy, long sleeve, white lab coat. Had my first clinical in this uniform today and thought I was gonna die of heat stroke...lol. They want us to look profession...

   When I started at the community college I attend, almost 2 yrs ago, I had to start with basic algebra. It had been about 22 yrs since I had algebra in high school, so I was scared to death of it!! Even though it was tough to get back into it, I man...

    I have been in the LPN-RN bridge program for about 3 weeks now, and am seriously wondering if I made a mistake. I just graduated from the LPN program in May, took boards, got my license on May 30th, and have never worked as an LPN. I am the only pe...

14. competition

    lisalpn06 replied to rebemomma's topic in Indiana

    I think as far as competition, it depends on the hospital. When I did my L&D rotation last year, the hospital I was at had lots of openings. The nurses there told us that no one wanted L&D, so they had plenty of OT if they wanted it.

    lisalpn06 replied to SchoolRN,BSN's topic in Indiana
