    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,...

    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

    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...

    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...

    Lynker replied to Lynker's topic in LPN to RN

    That's pretty amazing motivation! I always think about getting promoted from LPN to RN, and wondering how all my CNAs, LPNs and RNs would react. I get to go back with my best friend this...

    Failed My Third Semester

    Lynker replied to Lynker's topic in LPN to RN

    One of my instructors actually sat down with me with one test and went over it with me. Turns out I answered the questions correctly with her there--but not on the test. *facepalm* Writing the...

    Dirty Needle Stick

    Lynker replied to NYCNative21's topic in General Nursing

    On the anxiety side of things, I would talk to your PCP about the experience and maybe have them put you on an antidepressant or an anxiety med. It sounds like you need it right now, with how you're...

    How long is a typical LTC orientation?

    Lynker replied to RNMTRC's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    My LTC orientation was a bit over 12 weeks long. I stick out like a sore thumb, but my job had me train on every shift for about a month before I started my full time position, which was

    Why are you proud to be a nurse?

    Lynker replied to Joe V's topic in General Nursing

    I've always had a passion for helping people. My mom was a nurse ever since I can remember, too. I got a job as a pharmacy tech a few years after high school, and then it dawned on me. Why not become...

    Help. My clinical group dislikes me.

    Lynker replied to Koemmyjemmy's topic in General Students

    Sometimes you just have to grin and bear it, unfortunately. I kind of felt the same way in my first RN clinical group. They were all close and had been together since first semester (I started in...

    Hi guys, So I'm an LPN and an RN nursing student going into my second out of 3 semesters (Technically 3/4 but I started in semester 2 due to being an LPN). I guess I'm just really nervous to...
