Speaking as a student, I'd really appreciate you taking the time to tell me that. I'd love to arrive prepared and hopefully saving you some time as well by you not having to explain this to me when I...

What about how the patient feels about their privacy? It's a catch-22. The patient might feel threatened, embarrassed & upset too.

We knew going in that we'd have to bathe each other. We are also giving each other injections (saline) & lifting each other & our doctors had to sign off on all of that during our physical before...

Do not worry about what a student told you. You worked hard to get there, focus on yourself. Your studies & making it work for you. It's hard, but you can do it!

I am that rare student nurse that wants to work in LTC. The reason I'm in school was to be a nurse in LTC. I loved your post. So nice to see the good side of it! Thank you for sharing :)

I'm pretty sure she was being facetious.

I love it!!

Great read, thank you. I have a very, very boring first name. It can't even be made into a nickname or shortened, lol. I often wonder what people would assume of me, based on seeing it written...

Anything is possible if you really want it, and realize the huge amount of time you'll be spending on JUST SCHOOL. Age means nothing. I'll be 38 next week, and I just finished my first month of...

As far as I remember, we were told it was 50% clinical hours. Our program is 1500 hours, so I'll say 750 ;)

I'd be pretty upset if I was taught by an unlicensed nurse. I'd be questioning everything I learned & then would worry how that would affect my future. :-/

Hi, :) I don't know what your school will be like, but on my first day, I needed a notebook & pen/pencil. Then the next day we jumped right into A&P. We didn't need the stethoscope or BP Cuff (&...

Be sure you know your fractions & percents :bookworm: if you don't already. I used to print out worksheets & do them over & over.the rest, was fairly easy for me. Good Luck!! :)

This is what we are going to have to do.

So did this. Thank you.

This made my night.

Where are you? I thought mine at $18,000 was expensive and it's 2 years part time.

I don't plan to. I don't need to for what I want to do. I hear it all the time too, or its just implied that of course, I'll go on for my RN. As for being "just" an LPN, my instructor about lost her...

If I am correct, and I'd have to check my facts, I'm a brand new student, I believe if you graduate from an accredited school, and get your license, you can work anywhere. Of course if you plan to...

I can't wait to hear the answers, I have the same question.

There are emergencies that arise in plastic surgery (kanye's mom?) and in out patient care. A juice box isn't going to help you there. NO nursing job totally stress free or easy. I don't think you...

Huh? Delete what?

Thanks so much! I totally agree that we have our life experiences on our side. I definitely have a goal. My program is evenings, part time for two years.

Since I start tonight, I'm hyper aware of everything I've read & heard here. I'm planning for the worst & hoping for the best.
