1. What the heck have I gotten myself into??

   luckyzhp replied to rng2013's topic in New Nurse

   I too am feeling completely inadequate. I was a stay at home mom, then part time preschool teacher when I decided to go back to school at the age of 36. I began with the LPN program at my community college and returned for the LPN-RN transition pro...

2. Trouble in clinical. Prioritizing. Help

   luckyzhp replied to bella14k's topic in Student Assist

   Sadly I think there are many programs that are pushing graduates thru their school without care or concern if they are properly training each one. I attended my local (very small town) technical college for the LPN program and then LPN to RN transit...

   luckyzhp replied to KristinaW's topic in General Students

   I will be 39 when I graduate with my ADN in May, just 1 month before my 17y/o daughter graduates high school. I have intentions to continue with BSN. I think its all about your mindset, don't let failure be an option, and don't forget to give yourse...

   luckyzhp replied to brcompton's topic in Correctional

   Both small local jails I have worked try to maintain BID at all times. One facility has a nurse on duty 8am-2pm, but on call 24/7. The other larger facility has 6am-6pm nurse with BID med pass.

12. Need to "interview" RN graduates from 60-70s and 80-90s

    luckyzhp replied to luckyzhp's topic in Student Assist

    In the small town I live in, LTC facilities employ mostly LPNs and unfortunately the local hospital employs newly licensed RNs and the few older RNs have already been interviewed by a classmate. But thanks! :)
