   lolasmomma2bLVN replied to ktliz's topic in General Nursing

   Ear Wax (Not Mine of Course) Watching a patient clean his/or her ears, literally gags me! VERY STRANGE!!! I can handle pretty much anything else that comes my way!

   lolasmomma2bLVN replied to NICURN2013's topic in General Students

   Thats funny that you say the toughie test is Fluid and Electrolyte's in Fundamentals...It is the same thing in our program, many students get dropped after that examination!

   I am sure this has been said but I dont feel like reading 107 pages!!! When did you graduate high school? Because it sure seems to me like your acting like a high schooler!!!!

5. My very 1st clinical expierence ever!!! :-)

   lolasmomma2bLVN replied to CrazziiRN913's topic in General Students

   My first clinical experience was a HUGE eye opener for me. I guess you can say I grew up sheltered, my father was in law inforcment, so I didn't get to experience all that much the world had to offer, until I got married, and started to see the world...

6. annoying lab instructor

   lolasmomma2bLVN replied to deetrain's topic in General Students

   Just because you think you may fail Dosage and Calculations doesn't mean you aren't fit to be a nurse! It just means you might need a math tutor, some remediation and take it again. If you want to be a nurse, don't let anyone or ANY SUBJECT stand in ...

   lolasmomma2bLVN replied to kroyce's topic in General Students

   As I am typing this right now, I am staring at my little baby girl Lola a French Bulldog, and could NEVER imagine how my life would be without her in it. I got her right when I lost my job and started my nursing education. She has gotten me through s...

8. Depressed nurse here, lexapro is not helping.

   lolasmomma2bLVN replied to CrystalClear75's topic in Stress 101

   I myself am not ashamed to say that I have taken many anti-deppresants since the age of 15, thats when I started battling depression/anxiety, and the one that has worked best for me is Effexor XR...The only thing I hate is, if I miss even ONE dose, I...

10. Hesistant to do CNA work..

    lolasmomma2bLVN replied to Julsey's topic in CNA/MA

    I got hired as a CNA in a hospital with no experience. It ended up being horrible. You never know, you may like LTC and hate the hospitals. The problem at the hospital I worked at was staffing. The liscensed staff never helped and other CNA's wouldnt...

11. Rancho Springs Medical Center

    lolasmomma2bLVN replied to gwapo's topic in California

    I would think they would be doing everything they could because they have some big competition opening up in the next year or so, Loma Linda University is opening up a new hopsital medical center off of Clinton Keith Road and they are already startin...

    lolasmomma2bLVN replied to berenshj's topic in California

    I go to Chaffey College in Rancho Cucamonga, great school, excellent reputation, I love everything but there is a waitlist, I think you will find a waitlist wherever you are in the southern California region. Chaffey College also has a LVN-RN transit...

14. Can I afford West Coast university??

    lolasmomma2bLVN replied to findingmyway's topic in California

    With a student loan size of 132k, you won't be paying for a couple of years. I am not that much older than you (25) but I feel maybe you should meet some mid-twenty, RN's and let them "Big Sister" (sounds cheesy) you and mentor you, so you can really...

15. Failed my first attempt at Foley competency :(

    lolasmomma2bLVN replied to jillebean's topic in General Students

    The sterile field always got me too!!! The saying "practice makes perfect" rings true to nursing skills. Like the other poster, having a friend watch you is a great way to fix your mistakes. Also, at my school we have a skills lab with a special inst...
