   Late Bloomer replied to unwanted RN's topic in General Nursing

   I am coming to this post late, but felt compelled to add my two cents. I was the child in an abusive situation and later progressed to my own abusive situation with children. Whether he hits the children or not they are not safe. Through your rela...

2. Nursing students and new nurses.....about injection sites

   Late Bloomer replied to TazziRN's topic in Medications

   I have just completed my first semester of ADN classes. We covered all of the IM injection sites and had to pass a checkoff. We did not practice on each other (I am glad to say, we practiced on maniquins and injection pads) and were told we did not...

   Late Bloomer replied to straba's topic in General Students

   Went through all 42 pages to see that no one is from Wharton County Junior College, Wharton, Texas. I will start the ADN program on the 28th. Trying not to let the nervousness get a hold of me. For my sake and my future patients, I hope at the end...

   Late Bloomer replied to Late Bloomer's topic in General Nursing

   I am totally overwhelmed with the advice that so many people have taken the time to give me. God bless you people!! Yes, I have accepted the ADN position. Some lucky somebody will get the LVN spot that I declined. I don't know why I make things ha...

7. Need advice quickly

   Late Bloomer replied to Late Bloomer's topic in General Nursing

   Thanks for the advice. I wanted to go to the ADN, but have been trying for acceptance for three years so I applied to LVN. What I want the most is to be a really good nurse. ADN was my first choice, I didn't want to take the extra step of LVN. Bu...

8. Need advice quickly

   Late Bloomer posted a topic in General Nursing

   I have been accepted to an LVN program and an ADN program. An LVN friend said that it's better to go into the LVN first, work for a few years and then go to ADN. The ADN training doesn't give enough clinical time. It made a lot of sense when she w...
