   Congratualations! :clphnds: What books did you use to study from? Seems that everyone has a different one that they like. I am currently using 3. Gotta concentrate on just one. I will be taking the test in the new year in PA also. Let us know how th...

2. Peds Rotation

   jjrz1037 posted a topic in Pre-Nursing

   How do you handle going to hospitals with sick kids? I am doing a rotation at a pediatric hospital, a lot of long term care for breathing and head trauma ( shaken baby sydrome! I would love to shake some of those parents). I am dreading it. It was so...

   WOW! I thought my school was the only one with this problem. Here are a few of my pet peeves: cell phones ringing in class (they were told to keep them on vibrate 10 months ago), the ones who keep their bluetooth in their ear under their long hair an...

6. LPN's Getting No Respect

   jjrz1037 replied to jjrz1037's topic in LPN/LVN

   I guess I am surprised of the negativity by staff in the facilities that we have clinical. At one major hospital that we go to they actually stated to our school that they don't know why we even bother to have rotation there since no one hires LPN's....

7. LPN's Getting No Respect

   jjrz1037 posted a topic in LPN/LVN

   How do the LPN's feel about how they are viewed by others? I know...don't worry about what others think...blah, blah, blah. But during clinicals, when we are "shadowing" a nurse, as soon as they find out I am ONLY going for my LPN not RN, their attit...

   jjrz1037 posted a topic in LPN/LVN

   I am graduating soon from a school in New Jersey. I live in PA and posted about where to take the test. The director at the school suggested I take the test in PA and just fill out paperwork for New Jersey if I want to work there. Just wondering if L...

   I am getting ready to graduate Lincoln Tech in December. I live near Philly but the school is in NJ. Does it matter where I take the Nclex? Same test right?

10. Study for Nclex While Still In School

    I am currently halfway through school for PN. I wanted to start getting myself familiar with the Nclex and want to know if it's too early to start studying or looking through questions? Also what books would be good study guides since the test is a n...
