   hummingbird11 posted a topic in NCLEX

   If you're taking the NCLEX-VN in California, be prepared to wait for results! I just got my results after an 8 week wait! I passed, shut off at 85, did the "trick" for results which did work for me!

   hummingbird11 replied to wants2BRN's topic in General Students

   If it were me, I would want to know if I smelled bad! I would talk to the instructor, that is their job. Just as bad- nurses who wear perfume! There are so many people out there, myself included, who are allergic or sensitive to perfume. Nurses shoul...

   hummingbird11 replied to JoblessRN's topic in General Nursing

   I feel bad for you! I'm just wondering if you're limiting yourself to finding your dream hospital job. Try different avenues for the experience, how about clinics, dr.'s offices, shot clinics, insurance companies, home health, corrections, Veterans's...

   Hi! I recently graduated from an LVN course here in California. Half of our class did not graduate after having taken the exit exam 3 times and failed. Come to find out, they can still take the NCLEX! They will not be graduates of the school, but can...

9. Is there any time frame to take NCLEX-LVN in CALIFORNIA?

   hummingbird11 replied to curious09's topic in LPN/LVN Students

   I don't think there is a time limit, but once you apply for a testing number (ATT) you have six months to take the test. Call the board to be sure!

    I took ATI PN exit exam for school and passed. While studying Saunders, and looking over the online ATI practice, I noticed that a lot of the lab values for ATI were different than Saunders. Be careful of that when taking the board, I wouldn't study ...

12. OK to apply to ads looking for medical assistants?

    hummingbird11 replied to Sensoria17's topic in LPN/LVN

    Hi! I feel the same way! I just graduated, and would also like to work in a Dr.s office. I hope that someone can offer some good advice! My thought is, why would they NOT want an LVN instead of an MA? Thanks! :nuke:

14. Crushing meds individually?

    hummingbird11 posted a topic in LPN/LVN

    Hello! I am an LVN student, tonight in clinicals we had a substitute teacher. She said that the right way to give g-tube meds is to crush each one individually, then give each one individually, flushing with water between each one. We've been crushin...

15. Now I'm scared the my school is a joke

    hummingbird11 replied to picurn10's topic in LPN/LVN Students

    Clinical sites are not required to accept students. If your school was such a joke then it wouldn't have any clinical sites. The best thing that you can do is to try your best, try to really stand out and show the people at clinicals that you are ser...
