Humm, well thats odd. I went to do a "thank you" to your post and there's nothing there to click. I see it on others posts in other forums.Oh well, just know I'd have clicked the "thank You".
Thanks for the warm welcome. Hey never too many smilies, I love them.
Sometimes, the thank yous disappear from me as well for some strange reason. It doesn't matter! Welcome to the fold and we will anxiously await to hear your war stories, and give as much advice as we can muster up...you know the drill! Congrats again!
I have a sneaking suspicion that the quote and thanks buttons were gone because of the smilies. I noticed on my email notification about the post being here that you ended with a smilie that I think said "ang" or something, but the last smily that shows is the congrats one. Hummmmm plot thickens

Hello all. I have been on the boards for a while now (since right before starting LPN school) so many of you might "know" me. But since I just passed my NCLEX and have been issued a license number with the initials LPN after my name (yahooo!) I thought I'd introduce myself here in the LPN/LVN forum.
As you can see I'm CT Pixie and live in Connecticut. I recently graduated LPN school (June 08) and just passed my boards (July 9th). I have been in healthcare for over 20 years in various aspects of the field.
I start my first LPN job on Monday. I'll be working at a wonderful LTC/Short Term Rehab facility. It has a great reputation among the community and nurses that I know. They all recommend the place. Especially for a brand new nurse. They have a great orientation period, or at least I think it is, (8 weeks full time, no matter how many hours you are hired for you do full time for orientation). I took the LTC job by choice not because thats "all" LPN's can do. I love the geriatric population and have worked in LTC for years and years. My first job as a 16 year old girl was as a CNA in LTC. And thats where my love affair with the geri population began.
So there it is, I am one of the newest LPN's to join your ranks. I hope to excell and prove my preceptor proud.
