    Fear of going back

    Lynker posted a topic in General Students

    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...

    Thank you, but I am a native English speaker! I'm not sure how you got that from my post. My apologies! Thank you so much. I needed to hear

    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

    COVID assessments every shift with full vitals. It's especially rough when I have the LTC floor and it's 50+ PEOPLE.

    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 finally got a seat open for the RN program, and I'm going to retake med surg 1!! Any tips for a student who has previously failed a semester? I still have my old notes, and I'm going to start...

    Feeling discouraged in LVN-RN program

    Lynker replied to LVNtoRNstudent13's topic in LPN to RN

    I applied with little experience, as a fresh LPN out of school. All the school required was that I was actively working as an LPN. Don't feel bad, everyone's walks of life are

    Social Skills Should Be a Bigger Focus in Nursing School

    Lynker replied to Kenneth S. Veillon's topic in General Nursing

    A girl in my first semester of LPN school failed because of her personal skills/she wasn't confident enough. (Was I? Nah but I faked it 'til I made it

    Worried I made a mistake

    Lynker replied to em3120's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    We have all made a fair share of mistakes. But as said before, if there was you would have known about it. We learn from our mistakes, big or small. Whether they're still happening or not. We all have...

    What is wrong with me

    Lynker posted a topic in General Nursing

    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...

    What is wrong with me

    Lynker replied to Lynker's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you so much. I might just stick with the nursing home until I'm done with RN school and then move forward. It seems like the best bet right now instead of putting myself through this over and...

    What is wrong with me

    Lynker replied to Lynker's topic in General Nursing

    I did end up using a reference sheet towards the end, and I made it known. I WAS doing better. But I guess it just wasn't good enough. "Good enough", as in up to speed of what I should have been....

    Got Fired From My First Nursing Job

    Lynker posted a topic in General Nursing

    Well, today was my special day! I got fired from my job for giving one (yes, one) injection wrong, and for telling some lady I wasn't trained on how to use an EpiPen. Apparently all of that deems me...

    Got Fired From My First Nursing Job

    Lynker replied to Lynker's topic in General Nursing

    I think it was mostly my fault. I brought it up, saying no one was really trained and said it would be nice if there was more training on it just in case. It just sucks. I'll find a better...

    Got Fired From My First Nursing Job

    Lynker replied to Lynker's topic in General Nursing

    I know how to give an IM medication. The thing was that the CDC also gave us those very long needles, which could easily hit bone if pushed too far. I didn't gauge it correctly, and didn't go far...
