1. Thoughts on nurses who graduate nursing school calling themselves nurses before the NCLEX

   lcalhoun replied to pmabraham's topic in General Students

   License Practical Nurse = Nurse. I know RN's who refer to LPN as the nurse on your side. I have never heard a LPN say I'm your LPN today. They say I'm your Nurse today.

2. Did anyone feel this way when they first started working as a CNA?

   lcalhoun replied to FNP2B1210's topic in CNA/MA

   Expect a lot of hard work and sometimes being unappreciated. It's always tough to be a new CNA because you haven't yet developed a routine. Once you become familiar with your surroundings and patients your job will become easier. Also, treat every pa...

3. CNA claiming to be a nurse

   lcalhoun replied to jjdcn_5's topic in LPN/LVN

   I think a lot of places have CNAs who pretend to be nurses. The problem is with the CNA but also the upper management who allows this behavior to go on.

5. How do you study for the NCLEX?

   lcalhoun replied to tkoneida's topic in NCLEX

   Know your content and practice as many questions as possible. Also go over procedures like inserting a NG tube, inserting catheters, etc... Try to study the subjects that you are weak in the most. And last but not least PRAY!

7. Nclex 3rd, Waiting for Result, continue study

   lcalhoun replied to Victoryismine's topic in NCLEX

   If you really want to know if you passed why not pay the 7.95 and see. I took the nclex pn 4/24/15. According to the pvt trick I failed because it didn't work for me so I wouldn't trust that source. I waited 48 hours after testing paid the 7.95 and w...

    Hi everyone I'm taking the NCLEX PN on April 29th and I'm nervous as hell. I have so much riding on this test. I wasn't the best student but far from being the worst. It is just frustrating because you really don't know where to begin with studying. ...
