    Hi Jess, my name is Jared and I just graduated from LPN school in August, and I'm a new nurse. I struggle with anxiety and depression as well. In nursing school, I was very depressed and suicidal. I...

    Help studying

    Lynker posted a topic in TEAS Exam Help

    So, when I took my TEAS test for the LPN program, I passed it with flying colors. I took it for my ADN after I finished my LPN and bombed it. So, this shows I need to study more. I have the official...

    What is night shift actually like?

    Lynker replied to MyAimIsTrue's topic in General Nursing

    My nights are usually really quiet. We get the overnight duties done, and we're free to do whatever we want, unless patients need CNA care and nursing care. I'm using my time lately for studying for...

    LPN to RN woes

    Lynker replied to Lynker's topic in General Nursing

    I've been hearing so many different remarks regarding this. I keep getting told I should go back to school immediately while I'm young to get it out of the way, but I also keep hearing I should enjoy...

    While we were arguing; We disappeared

    Lynker replied to Yep, Me's topic in General Nursing

    I honestly can't tell if anyone's anything at my first nursing job. I mistook a CNA for a nurse, a nurse for a CNA, an occupational therapist assistant as a nurse, and everything in between. Just have...

    Gear for new (overnight) LTC nurse?

    Lynker replied to Lynker's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Benefit scrubs are amazing! I get so many compliments on them and they're so soft. I plan on getting a pulse ox and a manual BP cuff just in case. I also love my bag I have. Thank

    Failed By One point

    Lynker replied to amianurse's topic in General Students

    Agreed with coliotterr3. Sometimes nothing can be done. All you can do is look forward and try again! Never give up. Like they always say, just because you hit a bump in the road doesn't mean it's...

    "I've never done this before"

    Lynker posted a topic in General Nursing

    So, when I was in nursing school this phrase was considered the devil. Accodring to them, you're NEVER allowed to tell a patient you don't know how to do something. What are you thoughts on this? I...

    Introducing #SilentNoMore

    Lynker replied to Silent No More Foundation's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Fantastic article, a very horrific read in the beginning as well. As a CNA, I experienced this a bit, with the patients scratching, pinching, punching and no one bats an eye. The seasoned CNAs saw it...

    Social Media and Doxxing - Your Thoughts???

    Lynker replied to traumaRUs's topic in General Nursing

    A stance I haven't really seen in this topic; why is it okay for the patient to have said what they said to the nurse? Surely there wouldn't have been an issue if the nurse said something along the...

    Stressed LPN

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

    I know this response was meant in a positive way, but the fact is that she shouldn't HAVE to communicate with them over this. They should be out there at least checking how things are going on. I'm so...
