    LTC to TCU/Med surg

    Lynker replied to Lynker's topic in General Nursing

    So, I realized I made a mistake. I think I would be transferring to a SNF/rehab unit. I applied to some jobs that are TCU/rehabs. Does anyone have any advice for

    Complaints of Complaining

    Lynker replied to mermer_rn's topic in General Nursing

    Good lord. Run away as fast as you can. Any job that won't even let you discuss problematic policies and such is not a job ANYONE should be at. Put that on top of everything else you mentioned... Good...

    What is a nurse residency program?

    Lynker posted a topic in General Nursing

    All in the title. I've never seen one before. Are they only for bigger hospitals, or? I have no idea, but I see it a

    Taking Sign Language

    Lynker replied to Nurse_in the Making's topic in General Students

    I'm going into level 3 in the fall as well! I'm one humanities class away (aside from my nursing classes obviously) from being able to auto-transfer to a four-year program. I personally plan on doing...

    Finishing Nursing School w/ Depression

    Lynker replied to SNgirl21's topic in General Students

    Hoo boy, do I have a story for you. I was depressed my entire LPN program. I did the whole nine-yards. Self harm, cried wolf, sometimes skipping class. I understand the depression 200%! Long story...

    Work as CNA through nursing school? possible?

    Lynker replied to anilea's topic in General Students

    I became a CNA after my first semester of LPN school. Quit my comfy job of pharmacy tech, making $17 an hour picking my hours, to working as a CNA at my first clinical site on weekends, making $13 an...

    Question for Psych Nurses

    Lynker replied to sw0495's topic in General Nursing

    I used to be my LTCs night nurse, and let me tell you that I partially regret not taking the 7-3/3-11 shift. I LOVE the overnight, and still plan on doing it, but there are so many things I don't know...

    Self doubt

    Lynker replied to Kassandra Anderson's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Hi Kassandra, welcome to the nursing world. I am also a newer LPN, started back in October. When you say "they expected me to do things that I wasn’t supposed to do as an LPN" what did you exactly...

    Lynker posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hi everyone, I'm currently an LPN in RN school, two semester until I have my associates. Around me, there are plenty of school with ADN to BSN, but there are also ADN to MSN programs! I thought for...

    Is being an lvn really that great?

    Lynker replied to cookie123d's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Not around me, for my LPN program I didn't need my CNA, nor my RN program at another nearby

    Is being an lvn really that great?

    Lynker replied to cookie123d's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I do work in a nursing home! It truly does become like a family thing though. You get so close to your coworkers and patients. I love it so much. Originally I was full time but I went back to school...

    Is being an lvn really that great?

    Lynker replied to cookie123d's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I went through my LPN program at a college. I'm currently working as a nurse per diem, and I'm in RN school full time. I love the route I chose, as I can still get experience as a nurse, and a LOT of...

    I've been getting it for awhile now. It really adds on a lot of money. Very grateful for

    Courses to take that could help in the future?

    Lynker replied to dylanwino's topic in General Nursing

    Definitely take the prereqs and coreqs for nursing programs! I'm thinking A&P 1 and 2, Chemistry, Microbiology, and stats. Not only will it help with nursing knowledge, you'll already be ahead of...

    Guilt after patient passing away

    Lynker posted a topic in General Nursing

    I just have a general question. I had a hospice patient pass away a few days ago, and a week or so before she "wasn't doing so well", and I work per diem so I'm not there a lot. However, I did know...

    Guilt after patient passing away

    Lynker replied to Lynker's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you to everyone who commented on this thread. I've moved forward, with more knowledge on how to deal with these. It's okay to be sad, but it's okay to forgive yourself and move on as well.

    How to accept criticism and not be scared of any managers or families?

    Lynker replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in General Nursing

    Give it time. Coming from a LTC point of view, I've made many mistakes and my managers and DoN always backed me up. They want you to succeed. If you have a question, ASK. Even if it's another floor...

    First year nurse. Thinking about leaving field altogether.

    Lynker replied to mhadvrn34's topic in General Nursing

    You are not alone. I made my first med error when I was still training. I understand the super scary feeling you get. Recognize your problems and LEARN FROM THEM. Don't listen to the people in this...

    CNA 11 Years need your help

    Lynker replied to L.P.CNA's topic in General Nursing

    I don't have much to add. And while the situation was not professional/"correct", it was very wholesome of you. We need more of that in this bad world. ❤️ Good luck finding another job. I'd love...

    Should I start nursing school this May?

    Lynker replied to joe090909's topic in General Students

    I'm in the Boston area as well, and our clinicals went online with case studies and virtual simulations. I guess my situation is different though, as I'm already an LPN and practice as one. If it was...

    Will an LVN, RN, or BSN route open up more opportunities for working outside of bedside?

    Lynker replied to Aprilj09's topic in General Nursing

    Sounds like you could be an overnight bedside nurse. That's what I currently do, per diem. (MUCH) higher pay, less responsibilities yet you also still get to be a nurse. I work in a nursing home, and...
