    What's your dream specialty?

    Lynker posted a topic in General Nursing

    I'm a newer LPN, and I'm in ADN school currently. I had my maternity rotation and it was AMAZING. It really made we want to be a postpartum or even possibly a labor and delivery nurse!! I just found I...

    What is Your Nursing Program Doing for Next Semester?

    Lynker replied to lauranurselaura's topic in General Students

    Currently, we are doing clinicals online. I entered this semester as an LPN, so it's everyone's 2/4 semester, which for me it's 1/3. We have virtual sim online, and we've been doing (quite easy) case...

    What I Really Learned in Nursing School

    Lynker replied to amb218's topic in General Students

    Beautiful article. Many of the reasons why I love being a nurse. Being the reason someone smiles for the day lights up my whole world. I THRIVE off of it. I love taking care of my patients in every...

    Failed out of nursing school

    Lynker replied to PRican's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Have you looked into other schools? Another thing is to consider becoming an LPN first before becoming an RN. That's my path, and it's honestly amazing. I'm making a LOT of money, gaining experience...

    Leaving bedside for health concerns

    Lynker replied to angelsigns's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe look into a local clinic. They have many less duties, but are still extremely vital to the team. Maybe even an office RN. My mom is an administrative RN after many years of hard work in LTC,...

    Lynker replied to Lynker's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you! I'm steadily floating along right now. Finals are coming up, then I take two Summer courses so I can graduate with my ADN on time. It was because I started to quickly when first going to...

    LPN to RN woes

    Lynker posted a topic in General Nursing

    I have a little dilemma. I'm finding it really hard to find the drive to go back to school for my RN. I've only been an LPN for about a month, and I know I want to get to be an RN as fast as possible,...

    Failed out of nursing school

    Lynker replied to PRican's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You have to keep trying for yourself. I almost failed out of my LPN program many times, and now in my RN program I'm barely hanging on. But there's something amazing about people who persevere through...

    Worst Nursing Scrub Color Worn?

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

    Definitely royal blue. Had the color in nursing school for my LPN and couldn't STAND them. In my RN program at another school, they're navy and I'm so grateful!

    Digital watch recommendations?

    Lynker replied to Guest1141053's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I got a $30 digital watch from Walmart that I LIVE by. It's a Timex "ironman" watch. https://www.Google.com/search?q=timex+ironman+watch It tells you the exact time (including seconds), the date and...

    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...

    Hi everyone! I'm new here, my name is Jared. I'm a new nurse, still waiting for my LPN license to come in. Hopefully it'll be in by Friday! I got my "unofficial" pass results though! I start my first...

    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

    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...
