    Failed My Third Semester

    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...

    Scared to go back

    Lynker posted a topic in General Students

    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...

    Feel Like I’m Completely Failing...

    Lynker replied to missnursingstudent19's topic in General Nursing

    Honestly, I have no advice. But I can relate, being a nurse for almost a year. All we can do is do better and learn every day. I work the night shift a lot, so my troubles lie in calling doctors and...

    Scared to go back

    Lynker replied to Lynker's topic in General Students

    Thank you so much. This rotation is med-surg and mental health. I'm excited! I'm also going to be putting "Just because you know you can do something, it doesn't mean it's not going to be a...

    CNA JOB QUESTIONS

    Lynker replied to Ashley Isabel's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    When I was still a CNA, I shadowed people who knew the residents and learned how they did things. Over time you'll learn who to do first and who to dress, who needs to be fed etc. But you said...

    BEDSIDE...run, don't walk!

    Lynker replied to CaffeinePOQ4HPRN's topic in General Nursing

    I personally love working bedside! I'm only at my first job though, we'll see where I end up.

    Refused unemployment

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

    I just want you to say this is HORRIFYING, coming from another night nurse. Kudos to you for sticking around so long. I have no advice, but I just want you to know that you're amazing for what you did...

    Want a new career

    Lynker replied to lidea's topic in General Nursing

    Along with what everyone else said, you could work in an office or even from home as a nurse. There are nurses who do phone calls and prescription work all day. That might work for you! You never know...

    Lynker posted a topic in Rehabilitation

    Hey guys! I got a new per diem job at my first TCU/rehab hospital! I'm super excited to have more experience than my LTC facility. Is there any tips anyone could give me? I know these patients will be...

    New job at rehab, what should I know

    Lynker replied to Lynker's topic in Rehabilitation

    I decided to decline the job offer, after them telling me they couldn't accommodate my restrictions placed by my doctor. I'll take this as a sign though. It just wasn't for me.

    Wondering if I can do this.

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

    You'll get used to it. My advice to you is take your time. I made my first med error while I was training because I was rushing. It gets easier. Also see if you can work different shifts. I personally...

    RN's required to be sitters???

    Lynker replied to anneRN96's topic in General Nursing

    I can understand the frustration, but this reminds me of a similar post about working in laundry. You're getting paid to sit and watch someone, for RN pay. If it were me, I wouldn't complain.

    LPNs that work or have worked as DON/ADON?

    Lynker replied to April White-Lewis's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    As far as I know, LPNs cannot be a director of nursing. This is because LPNs cannot be in a higher state of authority over RNs, and the DoN needs to be able to supervise and be able to take over for...

    Becomng a nurse in my late 50's?

    Lynker replied to LiSA2020's topic in General Nursing

    I actually disagree with this. While being a nurse is tiring and super stressful at times, physically it's much easier on your body. As a CNA you're constantly lifting, pulling, transferring, etc. As...
