1. LPN to ARN or right to ARN

   Transient replied to anthony5649's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I agree. Go straight to an RN program and this is coming from an LVN.

2. Degree or California license only nursing program?

   Transient posted a topic in LPN-RN

   Any of you LVN's skipping the first semester of nursing for advancement placement in your school's nursing program? It would be nice to take the NCLEX and get that "RN" next to my last name, but I won't be able to claim I graduated from my local coll...

3. Anger problems during the NOC shift

   Transient replied to Transient's topic in General Nursing

   I like my job, but it's the NOC shift and some of my coworkers that's getting to me. It's time to transfer or quit.

4. Anger problems during the NOC shift

   Transient replied to Transient's topic in General Nursing

   I see where you're getting at. I'm actually chipper in the morning attending classes despite being "tired" working the NOC shift. I tried telling my manager that I wanted to go back to being per diem, but she needs me to work fulltime NOC. I actually...

5. Anger problems during the NOC shift

   Transient posted a topic in General Nursing

   Any of you nurses come to work just totally pissed off for no reason at all EVERYNIGHT? Just before my shift starts, I psyche myself up not to get pissed as soon as I get report, but 30 minutes into the shift, my blood pressure is already skyrocketin...

6. Has any LVN/LPN here ever been turned down admission to nursing school?

   Transient posted a topic in Pre-Nursing

   Why are classes such as history, chemistry, and math you've taken and passed counted overall in your school credit, but when it comes to microbiology, physiology, and anatomy....well, they have to have been taken within the past 7 years to get into t...

   I'm a warrior medic. I forbid myself to gain weight. I'm going to run 5 miles tomorrow.....hoooah! :smilecoffeeIlovecof

8. Dating for Men in Nursing/Nursing School

   Most of the females I've dated or had relationships with have all worked in healthcare in one way or another. :smilecoffeeIlovecof

9. Microbiology Spring 2007

   Transient replied to BlessedMom's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Micro's fun when we're actually doing something in the lab. Yesterday, we got to play with the Proteus Mirabilis (causes UTI if you didn't know), Pseudomonas(common in plants I think), and Lactobacillus bacterias. My Physiology class? It's more like ...

10. Mixed Med/Surg unit with tele not being watched

    Transient replied to Stryker's topic in General Nursing

    You're lucky. Not a night goes by where I don't see Vtachs and some kind of blockages. I've had 2-3 tele patients die on my shift the past 1.5 years (Even had one go into PEA). :smilecoffeeIlovecof

11. Microbiology Spring 2007

    Transient replied to BlessedMom's topic in Pre-Nursing

    He claims to have made that mistake on the carbon because he was up the whole night watching infotelevision. What the heck? :rotfl: Another thing that irritates me about this teacher is that he uses thin red ink rather than black ink. Okay...how goo...

12. worried sick about nursing school!!

    Transient replied to gella20's topic in Pre-Nursing

    If you're already a CNA with your hospital, that's a big plus. You know where supplies are. You've met the staff and MD's. You're somewhat familiar with documentation and the patient charts. Most importantly, you've been at the bedside. You're good t...

13. What are you taking this Spring?

    Transient replied to LindseyLou2222's topic in LPN-RN

    Heck yeah! I've already taken Anatomy 3X (U.S. Army and my local community college), Physiology, and Microbiology with grades of "A" and "B". Just because I've taken them past 7 years ago, they won't accept them for nursing school. Now I'm taking the...

14. ipods at work

    Transient replied to RNfloatpool's topic in General Nursing

    What about monitor tech's ? I used to listen to my CD player back in the day on the NOC shift and I've never lost focus on my monitor screens. Heck, alot of them have portable DVD players. But yea, bedside nurses shouldn't have iPods. That's just pl...

15. What are you taking this Spring?

    Transient replied to LindseyLou2222's topic in LPN-RN

    Microbiology, Physiology, Anatomy, and English. Sounds alot, but if you're an LVN already, then these classes should be a breeze(stupid school won't accept my previous Anatomy/Physiology credits).
