1. Requesting TPAPN / TBON Walkthrough

   SturblrBurblr replied to SturblrBurblr's topic in Disabilities

   I'm already essentially jumping through all the hoops I should be jumping through en regards to meds/tx, and I've never been hospitalized for anything psychological (or anything at all since the age of six, really). I am compliant with all that busi...

2. Requesting TPAPN / TBON Walkthrough

   SturblrBurblr replied to SturblrBurblr's topic in Disabilities

   I mean, the aggravating thing about all this is: I'm a really good test taker, in spite of my emotional struggles. I'm already an LVN, had the second highest entrance exam score for that LVN program (the highest score belonging to someone with the ...

3. What are some horror stories families have shared with you about former nurses they had?

   SturblrBurblr replied to Crystal-Wings's topic in Private Duty

   Yes, take everything you hear with a grain of salt. Perspective is everything. One account I was told of, from several years ago: Patient was trach'ed, recently weaned off vent, and family/ST/somebody was trying to introduce toddler to oral food. Wh...

4. Sleeping Nurse = No Agency?

   SturblrBurblr replied to HisTreasure's topic in Private Duty

   I work in PDN and used to work for PSA before they merged with EPIC. I also used to work nights. I have fought sleep before but never slept. I consumed caffeine, got up and walked around the area, slapped myself and splashed my face with water when ...

6. Navarro LVN to RN 2017

   SturblrBurblr replied to littlewillow88's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I hesitate to relay to you what really is just a lot of speculation, but the program is... kind of going through a really painful series of transitions right now. From changing NCLEX pass rates to the loss of some of their resources, to changing st...

   SturblrBurblr posted a topic in Disabilities

   Hello all! This one is geared more towards nurses who work in Texas, my home state. I am an LVN-to-RN bridger, due to graduate in May! As excited as that is, it's been a rough go. I've been working 24-36 hours on the weekend (no choice, as I need ...

8. mental illness affected by night shift

   SturblrBurblr replied to kristine24's topic in Disabilities

   I also struggle with mental illness, and while I function better than some, I have to say: for me, sleep deprivation is a HUGE trigger. I will downwards spiral from there in some manner and, like you say and fear, I am soon no longer fit to care pro...

9. Can I be a registered nurse if I have bipolar disorder?

   SturblrBurblr replied to MeAndArmini's topic in Disabilities

   I'm interested on your experiences with Texas, because I'm an LVN about two months away from getting my RN, and I have mental illness (and my dx may be about to change, too, in light of some recent revelations). I also live in Texas and plan to look ...

    SturblrBurblr replied to txnurstud's topic in Texas

    I was initially confused as to whether the deadline for the immunizations was the 25th of October, just like the paperwork sent directly to the LVN office, or if it was November 1st like is it with the non-online program. The instructions I've recei...
