1. Is LPN a good first step?

   BWSPN replied to dari98's topic in General Nursing

   I think thats a question only you have the answer for. I choose LPN route because I needed to see results sooner. I plan on graduate september 12 and starting at the local cc september 18 for the bridge. Good luck either way!

7. Want to quit smoking!!

   BWSPN replied to creature's topic in General Nursing

   "They" say you try about 7x's before your able to quit. I have not smoked for about a week this time. Seems kind of stupid too smoke when it gives you headaches and gag when you inhale. Don't know why that started but it sure gave me an extra reason ...

   BWSPN replied to Thedreamer's topic in General Students

   I recently was able to do a straight cath for the first time. The advice posted is wonderful. We were taught after cleansing down the middle don't take your eyes off the meatus! It doesn't hurt to breath either! The hardest part for me was standing t...

10. Going from a ADN student to a LPN student

    BWSPN replied to adamsmom's topic in General Students

    We go over it but its not stressed because it is out of our scope. My point was people shouldn't view LPN as an easy route out. A comment was made about its better than nothing. Becoming a nurse takes hard work and determination, RN or LPN.

11. Going from a ADN student to a LPN student

    BWSPN replied to adamsmom's topic in General Students

12. My first young-eating experience

    BWSPN replied to PeachPie's topic in General Nursing

    This was one nurse and her bad attitude. I agree with that. One clinical I had a nurse who made me feel like I was just in the way. And it was obvious she didn't care to involve a student. I was very taken aback by her attitude. Next clinical, same s...

13. How many students have you lost

    BWSPN replied to adamsmom's topic in General Students

    We started w/ 50 and are down to 46. One girl left the first day right after lunch another got the boot because of her attitude. Another couldn't deal w/ family and school and the last couldn't make the grade. I think the other 45 will hang in there.

    BWSPN replied to lookingforward's topic in General Nursing

    Your the girl at my first clinical who sat in the corner with her nose wrinkled up because my individual had a bm. Get over it or find something else to do. I've worked in LTC where even the Charge Nurse had to take a turn working a shift as a CNA.

15. Im not sure if I want to keep going to nursing school...

    BWSPN replied to ShimmyMeli's topic in General Nursing

    I agree you need to find some organization. Your in the program which means you have already put alot of effort into this. Would you rather look back and see you gave it your best effort, or look back and wish you hadn't gave up? Are you giving yours...
