   I know exactly how you feel. I am still on orientation in the CVICU and I feel the same way everyday. I have about a month left and then no training wheels! I feel like I get MOST of the pieces of the puzzle at this point, but my problem is putting...

   I might be taking it a little personally. But I have run into this in other places than posts. Sorry if it seems like I am overreacting....lol. I just feel like if there was no stigma attached you should be able to be open and honest about it, in ...

7. ICU Interviews do's and oh no she did not's!!

   lpn2crna1day replied to lpn2crna1day's topic in CCU

   And I guess that is what I am saying. This is exactly what I plan to do! Becoming a CRNA is a very long term goal of mine. My entire journey to this point has been a case of learning to run before I walk. I am a long way from my goal which may be unc...

   Thanks to everyone for their responses. They were all very helpful. I have completed one of the two interviews. I feel like my nerves got the best of me. I rambled at times and feel like I strayed from the original questions. Hope the next one goes a...

13. just failed for the 5th time...need help getting back on track

    lpn2crna1day replied to -alwaysbelieve-'s topic in NCLEX

    Just remember that you got through school. I think that sometimes the pressure of passing can become our worst enemy. You have made it this far, just one more step to go. Study for sure but remember that most of what we need to pass NCLEX is what was...

14. Help =/lpn to rn or straight to rn?

    lpn2crna1day replied to minnieme_85's topic in LPN-RN

    Don't know what would work best for you but I think testing out for LPN after my first year of RN clinicals was the smartest thing I ever did. Went to school to get my associates degree in nursing for RN (and plan to start on my BSN online next fall)...
