    Nursing Triage

    Lynker posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hey guys, So tomorrow I have an interview at a private pediatric clinic for an LPN triage job! Any tips you can give me? I used to work at Omnicare Pharmacy where I would do a bit of triaging on...

    Anxiety Over Past Mistakes

    Lynker replied to anxiousnewgrad58's topic in General Nursing

    I just want you to know you are not stupid and people make mistakes. Please don't feel bad. I've had similar experiences as a CNA. One was when I was told to "get someone to help get this person...

    How Long Do You Expect To Be a Nurse?

    Lynker replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    I've been a nurse for almost a year and a half, hopefully going on forever! This is my first "career", so to speak. I started at 24. I want to move up in my education and ranks. I'm not sure where and...

    I'm Overly Stressed Now

    Lynker replied to Guest1167840's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    This woman sounds like a....you know what. What a miserable person. Accidents happen. Definitely bring it up to your supervisor or DoN. You'll be okay. Take it one day at a time. It's not all...

    I received a job offer for LTC. Should I take it?

    Lynker replied to nurse1045's topic in General Nursing

    At this point, what do you have to lose? I would try it. A big patient load on an LTC floor can be overwhelming at first, but it gets easier. Currently my first and only job is in LTC, and I love...

    Transfer VN license to another state but did not graduate

    Lynker replied to Kcd808's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I don't understand this question. In order to transfer a license, you need to have graduated from an LPN program and pass the NCLEX-PN. Do you mean taking your NCLEX in another state from where...

    Becoming a COVID testing and vaccine nurse?

    Lynker replied to Lynker's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I got sent a job "offer" to apply to at a pediatric clinic to administer COVID vaccines. I applied. Here's hoping I hear back! Seems like a GREAT stepping stone for my future

    Becoming a COVID testing and vaccine nurse?

    Lynker replied to Lynker's topic in Disaster Preparation

    The temporary part would be perfect, since I'll be going back to school in September anyway. It's from my local hospital, so I applied! Hoping I hear back. But if not, I'm willing to travel a bit...

    What is your opinion on "calling in sick" when not really sick?

    Lynker replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in General Nursing

    I completely understand calling in "sick" when you need a mental health day. I did it almost every single day I worked as a CNA, while I was in LPN school. I spent my better time sleeping and studying...

    LPN to ADN

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

    I'm in the same exact boat....working in LTC, covid hit and I just failed my second semester of RN school. I would say it's still worth it...we'll get over this hard bump in the road. Covid will end...

    Advice with burnout

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

    Honestly, that job sounds nice. Reminds me of my office pharmacy tech job before I became a CNA, then an LPN! Now I'm curious if there's anything in my area like that

    Advice with burnout

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

    That's a fair argument. I personally wouldn't go back there. I mean, you could always graduate with your RN, take the NCLEX and keep it on the backburner while you go to interior design school! I...

    Advice with burnout

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

    Do you know that from concrete evidence, or was it just word of ear? (I think that's the term). Something you could always do is just drop out of RN school and go to school for interior design...

    Advice with burnout

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

    Have you thought about trying to go back to your LTC job? Maybe you could try to get back where you were, where you were happy? I'm in a similar boat, being a new LPN and being in RN school. But,...

    Failed My Third Semester

    Lynker posted a topic in LPN to RN

    I just need to reach out right now. I failed my third semester out of four of RN school. I'm so devastated. I'm pretty sure I'll get to restart it in January, but I just feel like I wasted an entire...

    Am I fired? CNA Checking Blood Sugar

    Lynker replied to oldie's topic in General Nursing

    Well I'm glad everything worked out okay! That is quite a pay difference. You do what you need to do.

    Am I fired? CNA Checking Blood Sugar

    Lynker replied to oldie's topic in General Nursing

    This is immediately what came to my mind as well, I'm in MA too. I didn't even know it was possible to work a job below your license (Unless you're a nurse covering a CNA shift for nurse pay or...

    Lpn / PCA/ GPN

    Lynker replied to GabHen1315's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I don't see why it wouldn't be allowed. I was asked once to work on a different unit as the night's CNA (I didn't do it because I'd never worked on that unit). But if it was my regular unit, I would...

    Failed My Third Semester

    Lynker replied to Lynker's topic in LPN to RN

    Another update, school won't let me come back until September because of my surgical precautions. But it's okay, I'm gonna take the time to heal and

    Being A Patient vs A Nurse

    Lynker posted a topic in General Students

    I just wanted to throw some words out there. I had my open heart surgery 4 days ago, The last time I was inpatient was when I was 14-- 12 years ago. Being an LPN for over a year now, it's so crazy to...

    Should I quit my program?

    Lynker replied to cj_94's topic in General Nursing

    I will also build on this, in a positive way. In my experiences, I've been anxious to the point of making mistakes and errors. Did I ever blame it on my anxiety? No. You know why? Because I still...
