   NNEKA RN replied to BigB's topic in NCLEX

   I'm sure you all would pass your NCLEX. I had a lot of cultural questions when i took the NCLEX -PN in 2003. My heart dropped in my pinkie toe. But i was able to pull thru

2. Are LPN's/LVN's real nurses?

   NNEKA RN replied to Faeriewand's topic in LPN/LVN

   LPN's are real nurses. I was an LPN for 3 years before i became an RN. When theses RN's leave the hospital to work in the Nursing Home they are lost because of the patient load that LPN's have to cover. Imagine having 6 patients in the hospital and...

3. Any of you have a bad past?

   NNEKA RN replied to nikkif's topic in Pre-Nursing

   My reply WOW, you sounded very upset in your reply. I just stated my opinion and you took off and ran with it. I guess since you are not in the nursing program yet, you cannot relate to what i'm saying. In this profession, you have to put your "I...

   NNEKA RN replied to jjchko's topic in Emergency

   I agree with the other suggestions. Why not apply to a MED-SURG unit for 6 months, and then switch to ER? That is what they do in my hospital... :balloons:

7. Computer Documentation, is it really better?

   NNEKA RN replied to storkbynight's topic in Legal

   Well so far at my hospital it has worked really well. I guess because we still have the paper charts and we are able to write narratives in the chart. However we use LASTWORD, and it is really great. We are also able to type our narratives in also...

8. Are LPN's/LVN's real nurses?

   NNEKA RN replied to Faeriewand's topic in LPN/LVN

   Of course they are real nurses. I was an LPN for 2 years before i got my license as an RN. I was able to do almost everything that RN's could do. I just needed the RN to cosign my narcotics, and i also needed 2 RN's to cross-check the blood before...
