    I need to post about how proud I am of myself

    Lynker replied to Lynker's topic in General Students

    I bombed my exam today, I got a 70%. The good news is that I only need a 66% on my final to pass. I'm feeling very low right now though. Disappointed in myself for

    Do you ever wonder...

    Lynker replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    I feel this way sometimes. I go to work at the nursing home and go "Okay, now it's all on me?" and it doesn't feel real. Soon I'll feel the same way with my

    Lynker replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    This is a very interesting thread! I had a job at Dunkin' Donuts for awhile. I worked there, and finally got my driver's license after my boyfriend taught me how to drive. Being in school for...

    Anyone here who loves bedside nursing?

    Lynker replied to LibraNurse27's topic in General Nursing

    I love bedside nursing! I currently do rehab and LTC. Can't wait to become an RN and possibly do hospital specialties and med

    Super Unhappy New Grad RN, HELP. Advice needed.

    Lynker replied to Sweetlilcutie1998's topic in General Nursing

    More opportunities lie in nursing home! Long-term care and SNF (rehab etc) facilities are very predictable, and they tend to pay pretty well. They're always hiring too, so you'd be a shoe-in!...

    Leaving Your Job Due to Mandate

    Lynker replied to jive turkey's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Nowadays, it seems to open more doors than close them. I guess I wouldn't say I'm "excited" for it. ?‍♂️ I also need it for my job and nursing school, so I guess it's the "golden

    Leaving Your Job Due to Mandate

    Lynker replied to jive turkey's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I'd imagine people who leave their job due to the mandate will have a very hard time finding a new job, unless they lied on the reason they left their past job. It's only going to get more and more...

    Syringe Disaster

    Lynker replied to LibraNurse27's topic in General Nursing

    I can completely relate, as I have s/sx of bipolar type 1 and I'm on meds for it. I've also had a similar heparin incident. Just know that you can only do your best. We all make mistakes. It's a shame...

    Why Do New Grads Lack Critical Thinking Skills?

    Lynker replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    Flat out, all nursing school cares about is if you can pass exams/the NCLEX. Nothing else. That's

    Fear of going back

    I go back to school in three weeks for my second semester out of three for my RN. I originally failed this semester due to being a bad test taker. I'm just not sure how to get over this fear of doing...

    Nurses: Respect or Money? What Matters Most?

    Lynker replied to jeastridge's topic in General Nursing

    I like the idea that money = respect (or at least part of it). Have you ever been somewhere where they refuse to pay you more? The respect goes out the

    Feeling bad about self as a newer/unskilled nurse

    Lynker posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    I've been mostly on the LTC unit, sometimes the rehab unit at my job. I'm still fairly new, I only started as an LPN in October 2019. However, I just feel like I don't....KNOW....ANYTHING. One of...

    Second Thoughts on Becoming a Nurse

    Lynker replied to ThePrudentStudent's topic in General Nursing

    I, as a "baby" nurse, personally love it. Some days can be super hard. The things you see, hear and deal with can be so hard. Management can suck, but not always! I'm personally on my way to get...

    Thinking of quitting CNA Job

    Lynker replied to FutureMaleNurse9722's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with SmilingBluEyes. I would try to quit on good terms, as much as you can. Just so you don't burn a bridge. But this sounds like my part-time CNA job while I was in LPN school. It's not worth...

    How Has Covid Affected Your Job as a Nurse?

    Lynker replied to dareese's topic in Disaster Preparation

    RN as CNA

    Lynker replied to 512Runner4lf's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I don't understand the whole "I am liable even though I'm working as a CNA!" thing. I worked as a CNA in my nursing home, and had no nursing duties. Thus, I had no nursing assignment. I only had...

    I just got fired from my second job in three months. I've officially lost more jobs than I've had altogether in nursing. Apparently I wasn't "catching up to speed" with pediatrics vital signs and...
