2. What was your first LPN job?l

   lpnstudent2013 replied to HoneyLPNurse's topic in LPN/LVN

   Just got my first nursing job. I'm in orientation this week. Then I get 5 days of shadowing and I'm on my own. It's skilled nursing and I'll have 16-20 patients. I'm nervous but excited. I did my senior clinicals at the rival facility to this one so ...

   Update: My new LPN license showed up the next morning on the website. Yay!!! So relieved!

4. Oregon LPN's NCLEX

   lpnstudent2013 posted a topic in LPN/LVN Students

   How long did it take you to find out if you passed your NCLEX? I took mine yesterday (8 am on Oct 17th) and I keep checking the OSBN website but it still just has my CNA license. The test shut off at 85 questions. The questions felt really hard but ...

5. Is there really a future for new LPN's??

   lpnstudent2013 replied to Sharls237's topic in LPN/LVN

   I'm in Washington State and it's pretty much the same here as everywhere else that I've heard about. The hospitals hire LPN's but they are called techs and are only paid a couple dollars more than CNA's (and the CNA's can do the same job for cheaper)...

6. Tired of being responsible for grown adults!

   lpnstudent2013 replied to Mainergal2000's topic in LPN/LVN Students

   Sounds like my program. It is really frustrating. Too many people just want to get through without doing anything to earn it, and then those of us who are dedicated get punished for it. It makes me concerned for the kind of nurses that are being put...

7. Being a CNA

   lpnstudent2013 replied to ComeTogether's topic in CNA/MA

   Yes. I believe every nursing student needs to work as a CNA. I can't stand that half my nursing class is "above" CNA work. Drives me crazy!!! If you don't want to wipe butts and clean up puke, please do not become a nurse. You don't deserve it!

8. Clinical uniforms?

   lpnstudent2013 replied to kjrobinetteSN's topic in LPN/LVN Students

   All gray matching top and bottom scrubs. With the school logo on them. But they are unisex so they fit horribly on females. Half of us went and bought our own scrubs in the same color so we could get a better fit. The instructors probably noticed but...

11. How Many people did your program start out with?

    lpnstudent2013 replied to Philly_LPN_Girl's topic in LPN/LVN Students

    Started with 20, 2 dropped in the first quarter because they couldn't keep up, 1 dropped in the 2nd quarter due to being super grossed out in clinicals, no one dropped in 3rd quarter, and now in our final quarter we have only lost one so far due to g...

12. Get LPN through Tech School vs Community College?

    lpnstudent2013 replied to GoFar's topic in LPN/LVN Students

    I chose a private college LPN program because I would've had to do all my pre reqs (1-2 years), wait for acceptance (1year), and then do the program (2 years) at the CC. So instead I went to a one year LPN program and I will graduate this fall and w...

13. ATI LPN Books

    lpnstudent2013 replied to Philly_LPN_Girl's topic in LPN/LVN Students

    My school uses ATI. I love the videos, practice tests, and rationales. The only thing I don't like is the lack of an index and glossary, like others have said. We have taken end of semester exams now for Pediatrics, Maternal Newborn, Mental Health, a...

14. Last semester!!!!! Whoop whoop!

    lpnstudent2013 replied to Mrsladysoul83's topic in LPN/LVN Students

    Congratulations! I start my final semester in a month and then I graduate in October. I can't believe how fast the time has gone! It's crazy. And so exciting!

15. Med error for new 2013 nurse

    lpnstudent2013 replied to Terrified83's topic in Geriatric

    I made my first med error as a nursing student. It was absolutely awful! I felt horrible. The patient was fine, just got twice the dose needed of a vaccine. I had to call the Dr. and call the family and file the incident report. I managed to keep my ...
