1. Serious problem. I need help!

   Soiledbrains posted a topic in LPN/LVN

   I work in a nursing home that's very disorganized. I've only been there a few months and it's my first job as a LPN. I was "trained" for 2 weeks and thrown on a floor all by myself. I have 40 residents to give meds and care to, aides don't help. Not ...

   One more thing, they offered me an excellent pay rate and sign on bonus. How long does it take to receive the sign-bonus? They never stated if I have to work a certain amount of time to gain that sign on bonus or if it's immediate.

5. Trying to get a job 6 years after graduating

   Soiledbrains replied to Soiledbrains's topic in LPN/LVN

   I just want to say...I GOT THE JOB! I can't believe it! I've never been more excited. I was hired on the spot. I'm extremely grateful that they are taking a chance on me. I just want to let others know who have graduated LPN school but took awhile to...

6. Trying to get a job 6 years after graduating

   Soiledbrains replied to Soiledbrains's topic in LPN/LVN

   I live in NY and they did not require me to take a refresher course although I did go through the Hurst review. I have the knowledge, I just need to implement it. My skills aren't fresh since I haven't maintained them but once I get in somewhere I kn...

7. Trying to get a job 6 years after graduating

   Soiledbrains posted a topic in LPN/LVN

   So, after graduating in June of 2008, I had a couple of traumatic events that sent me on a downward spiral. It was rough and I thought I'd never get back to who I was but I've been working hard to better myself. I sat for the boards this past August ...

8. PVT IS DEAD! Don't try the "new" trick

   Soiledbrains replied to scaredsilly's topic in NCLEX

   Please post what happens. I hope you pass!!! I read only one post where a girl was charged trying the new PVT but she didn't say if she passed or failed. I assume she lives in one of the states that doesn't participate in quick results. If you passed...

11. PVT IS DEAD! Don't try the "new" trick

    Soiledbrains replied to scaredsilly's topic in NCLEX

    Actually, I read ONE post where a girl's card was declined because of insufficient funds when she tried the new PVT. I don't know if it's on this board or another. I've been scouring the internet on this subject to help calm my nerves. So, maybe pear...

12. Hi NCLEX Second-timers! Does a "failed" result come up on Pearson Vue?

    Soiledbrains replied to Daniegirl2011's topic in NCLEX

    Awwww, thank you so much!! I feel like I have a huge, giant pit in my stomach! I'm at work and can hardly concentrate. I hope I can get my results at 6pm (3.5 more hours to go) today and I hope those results make me jump for joy!! I thank you for you...

    Soiledbrains replied to BSN1986's topic in NCLEX

    I tried the new PVT and got the good pop-up (I used a reloadable card with like $5 on it). I still feel like I failed. I took my test at 4pm eastern time (I'm in NY), on Tuesday, and I didn't finish until 6. Will I be able to get the results today at...

14. Hi NCLEX Second-timers! Does a "failed" result come up on Pearson Vue?

    Soiledbrains replied to Daniegirl2011's topic in NCLEX

    I tried the new pearson vue trick since I took my test on Tuesday. It hasn't been 48 hours yet so I can't access my quick results and my status is still "results unavailable". I tried to re register with a reloadable card I have so if it did go throu...

15. Already only generic name of all drugs?

    Soiledbrains replied to cherry merry's topic in NCLEX

    I took mine yesterday and yes I had only generic names for meds except for one question. The answers were very trick because 2 stated the brand name of the drug while the other 2 stated "this medication". Unfortunately, for me, I had no idea what the...
