  1. Older Student - And So It Begins

    Started LVN program @ 43. We bring with us a level of maturity and commitment many younger students do not. Nothing to be nervous about. Best wishes!
  2. How old were you when starting prereqs and did it discourage you?

    Honey, I WISH I was graduating with an ADN @ 26. Instead I started an LVN program in my 40s. I do wish I had started earlier, but I didn't let that stop me! Go for it!!!! Age ain't nothin but a number......I still feel 16!
  3. Discrimination & Whistle blowing - Would you hire this nurse again?

    This is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard. The fact that you WON your first lawsuit on the basis of "discrimination" is a sad commentary on our judicial system. The entire world does not have to "accommodate" my or your religious practices....
  4. Thank you note--too much?

    I was raised that thank-you cards are always appropriate! yes! Something simple and professional. "Thank you for your kindness and flexibility in this time of crisis. It is much appreciated and will always be remembered."
  5. No support or respect

    I am just finishing up LVN program (9 more weeks!) and even one of our instructors (RN, OR nurse) belittled LVNs and working in LTC as "you're not a real nurse - you need to bridge to RN ASAP and work in a hospital". No respect even from our teache...
  6. If I hate being a Cna, should I stop pursuing Nursing?

    ask yourself: why do you want to be a nurse anaesthetist?
  7. The Patient I Failed

    and these are the same people (the daughter) who will then sue you, the doctor, the hospital and anyone else they can think of for "killing" their mother!
  8. Fired for expressing concerns about patient safety and care!

    Wow, there are some nurses who are really uninformed about the status of their industry and our country as a whole.....
  9. What are the best shoes for nursing?

    Alegria! It's all I wear - every day!
  10. Its official, Passed the NCLEX see how I studied

    congratulations! will be taking mine in the new year - please, what is the "pvt trick"?
  11. "well I think that nursing is easier than working in a factory"

    Note OP's poor spelling, typing, and punctuation. Says a lot about a person.
  12. First day of Nursing School..

    OP: keep up the enthusiasm! Best wishes on your journey! (I remember my "high" after my first clinical! We were not allowed to "do" anything - but I was on Cloud 9! I still love clinicals.) Trolls: every one of us had a first day. Every one of...
  13. Pt's/visitors reading Fifty Shades of Grey???

    why on earth do you care what they read?
  14. Experiences with rude staff at clinical sites

    Get over it. The nurses are there to do their job - which is PATIENT CARE. They are not there to teach you. That is what your instructor is paid to do. Students are a HUGE inconvenience to staff. Your job is to stay out of their way, observe, and...
  15. There are a LOT of unemployed new-grad LVNs in the SFV - so very many for-profit schools churning them out and too few jobs. Instead of focusing on how much they get paid, focus on how many job postings there are for LVNs in the SFV and compare them...
