   Sorry it's taken me so long to answer, I've been working really hard since I got back from vacation. To answer your question, I thought I could take the boards in NY and just "pay" FL for the NCLEX, but I have a friend that tells me you can't do that...

9. Feeling like I'm a lousy nurse (rant)

   CinLPN2RN replied to Serenyd's topic in New Nurse

   (Rebecca: Good expression of thoughts.) I would like to add that it's hard not to feel as if everyone is laughing at you when you have low confidence. It is understandable to be hurt by it, but find comfort that you will gain confidence as you gain e...

10. Psych. Clinicals help

    CinLPN2RN replied to amberc's topic in New Nurse

    It is hard to set limits, but it is really good practice and it can get easier over a few interactions. Good job telling the ct about inappropriate comments. He'll test the limits again, I'm sure. It's really strange how they set the clinical up. Di...

    CinLPN2RN replied to TweetiePieRN's topic in Pediatric

    Thank you for replying with such a detailed answer, Jez. Vaccinations are so important and parents need to be educated not just given a blanket answer of "blood transfusion". That doc missed an opportunity to educate. That or he just didn't know the ...

15. How Do You Know?

    CinLPN2RN replied to mgd31181's topic in Pediatric

    I actually see a lot of males in pediatrics. For some reason, most of the guys in my Peds office have a special knack for kids. My 2 year old loves her daycare provider Mark "Marky-doodle". That isn't a typical male position either. Whether you are m...
