Hi all, I just attended the annual California Licensed Vocational Nurses League for the first time. I found it surprising that this is the only League we have for LVN's in california who are fighting for our rights to ever changing laws that are out...

Well I finally took the Nclex today and feel very nervous and unsure. It seems when i walked away from the test I felt numb. The computer shut off at 85 w/ 1 hard question at the end and I was screaming in my head no!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I wanted to answer...

Congrats to Dave and everyone who took the test and passed. Well its been 3 weeks and 5 days of torture , but I got my results in the mail today and I PASSED!!!! Thank god, I couldnt be more relieved.

I actually know what your going through. I got hired at a LTC as CNA but just took my boards last week. I too have seen things that are not right in my facility.For instance they want us to lie in our charting so the facility can make more money:nono...

I also agree with Cashews comment as well. I took my boards Tuesday and I was feeling the same way. I was very stressed. Until I thought to myself, I did the best I could do and thats what matters the most.Me stressing over my results isnt going to m...

It's Human resources. Yeah thats what I believe too.

I have a questions for all my cna's. Ive just started working at this Rehab / LTC facility. Ive went above and beyond my duties as a CNA.I love my patients and love working with them. I clean my patients and they are never left smelling. I guess to s...

:balloons::balloons::balloons:Congratulations Nurse Mimi:nurse:. Im happy you passed, but jealous as well because you got your results faster You know, I saw the computer pause as well on my test and I was like" okay what does that mean?".It paused a...

Thank you very much for your reply. I agree, I did all I could and couldnt and thats when I called for help.I dont mind cleaning feces up, but when its out of my control I cant do anything. I didnt know I was a hired as a housekeeper. I made up my mi...

Wow, umpalumpa. That was hard .You can correct me on my terminology,but somehow can seem to phrase your comments in a unappropriate manner.

Thanks everyone for the encouragement :).My nerves today are a little better than yesterday. Jelorde: Lol... I almost wanted to cry afterwards too, but the proctor asked me not to cry during or after was done with the exam skallywag: I couldnt agree...

Hi welcome to the torture party. I can totally relate to what your feeling. I live in california and i took my test yesterday that shut off at 85 as well. I hope you passed. Its good to know that people on this board had the same experience, it makes...

Thanks for the advice. Im still kind of new in this facility so its frustrating sometimes when one person says another thing that isnt true. Thanks.

Unfortunely your right. With the hospitals wanting to become Magnet Status, they only want to hire RN's.More $$$ for the Hosptial. LVNS/LPNs are being channeled to either Home health care or LTC's. Its kind of discouraging. The way I see it, nursing...

Amen to that:lol2:. I work @ a LTC/ Rehab and I have co-workers who gossips and snip at each other.Its sad but true.And they wonder why I keep to my self

Congratulations Cristos:balloons::balloons::balloons:. Rub some good luck dust my way. I take my exam on August 21st.Thanks for the advice.

I like that! Everything is not for everybody. If a LVN/LPN is happy with her career ,who cares what other people think. Thats a total myth that" LPN's or LVN's do not have more critical thinking skills than RN's". Its depends on the education youve h...

Good Luck to you . Im sure you did just fine.You ll be posting a quote saying you passed!

well I can tell you at the facility that I work at it is not the case.Its a nice facility in all, but there is a downside to it. 1. The understaff and alot of time the nurses have to pull doubles and is tired, because they dont want to hire outside a...

Go for it. Alot of people want to get into the RN program, but forget about the LVN route. If you are willing to wait for the RN and want to go straight through,then all means do it.You have to do what fits into your lifestlye. I just graduated in Ma...

:monkeydance::balloons::biggringi:jester:Congrats Nurse !!! That was fast.I take it your not in California;)

Well isnt this refreshing :). I can really relate to what people here are feeling. I just graduated from LVN school and waiting to take my boards. I quit my collection job because I was burned out and took on a full-time days CNA position at a LTC/Re...

Hi all, Congrats to everyone who took the boards and passed:balloons: I am taking my NCLEX-PN 08/31/07.What questions did you mostly see on the exam and what should I be focusing on as I study?

:welcome: no your welcomed here. i just wanted to post info regarding an organization who needs lvn from california to join.
