I'm a home health nurse for an elderly woman who lives at home with her husband. He gets very jealous over her health issues and tries to gain attention away from her by complaining about pain, difficulties breathing, and feeling that he 'has pneumon...

Well I reported it, I'm just hoping they do something about it. I'm thinking of even trying to get proof from family that comes to see her, he still is verbally abusive in front of them. Thank you so much for your help.

I'm a nurse with over 3 years experience, mainly in mental health, and LTAC. I cannot find a job! I live in Acadiana Parish and have been looking for good work from Lake Charles to Baton Rouge and everywhere in between. I have been unable to find wor...

By two points, after over $3000.00 in fees and books, etc. Now I'm not sure what to do. Where do I go from here? Has anyone here have a similar situation now or previously? What did you do? I'm just so down and confused from here. I'm just lost and b...

LPN school was stressful but I still enjoyed it. I felt though that it gave me false hope. I LOVED clinicals of viewing and assisting in different settings. However when it came time for me to get a job all I could find was nursing home. There I was ...

I'm beginning to believe this particular school is out for blood and my sanity. Not only have I relapsed into major depression and anxiety so badly after non being allowed through, due to the fact this was my chance of 9 months of school to become an...

Thank you for posting this!!! I've been bummed out so badly for the past few months and couldn't figure out why. I work weekends and like others have posted it takes the whole week to de-stress. I also always think, talk, and dream about work in nigh...

I just got booted from LSUE for the math section. Needed a 90 and got an 80. I've never been this depressed over an 80 in my life. I also hope I dont' get a bill other than the $3000 I already put out. It was the math exam. It should be a pre-requisi...

Thank you very one for your support. I've just been devistated after that, and then learned that I have to withdrawl from the college since I'm only scheduled for nursing classes. I really wish the math was a pre-req type thing so that its not this b...

Hello everyone, I'm looking for anyone who has taken Excelsior's online LPN-RN program. Did it go well if as long as you were self motivated? Where are the weekend testing destinations located, Lafayette, Baton Rouge? Where did you go (or will go f...

Congrats, I just got accepted to the RN program at LSUE. Most of the LPN-RN advance track are all adult students who do not live on campus. I'm 26 and in the middle of the age range. I think I'll attend study groups to see what they contain, get to k...

I'm an LPN have have approx 3 years of medical experience in my background. I don't know everything and am still learning something new everytime I'm on the floor. I went with my mother to the hospital today to get bone marrow drawn for testing. Afte...

I'm an LPN who went to school out of state. Where I went did not offer IV certification as RN's were responsible for IV's. After moving here I've noticed that the majority of jobs require IV cerfication of LPN's and am having a difficult time finding...

I'm currently attending LSUE for the nursing program. I just have statistics left to take for the pre-reqs. The staff is usually very helpful in anyway they can be, my advisor is great for helping make decisions for the college career, if she doesn't...

It varies from place to place as to what their acceptable passing rate is, on the ACE Fundamentals 70% is usually the passing score.

Hi has anyone here taken the ACE-PN part one fundamentals and part two OB/peds? If so what did you use as study material for part two? I just finished taking both today. To me part one was pretty basic and straightforward with a little bit of everyth...

I used a NCLEX RN book for the nursing fundamental exam I, for the second I'm still not sure what would be the best study material. I saw several coming to take the exam they brought Maternity and Pediactric books to study by.

Not sure just yet. I was told by the administrators it can take up to 4-6 weeks for the results.

I know this post is pretty much dead since last year but I was wondering if anyone knew the number for the shreveport hospitial to ask about the IV courses? I called the main number on the website and just got voice messaging that never lead me anywh...

Hi, I emailed excelsior a few days ago asking this question this is what they responded with: The Clinical Performance in Nursing Exam sites are as follows: Albany, Schenectady, Utica, Queens and Syracuse, New York Plano, Lubbock and Amarillo, T...

Hello everyone, I was just wondering what other jobs we have held before Nursing 'Called' to us. I started as a day care worker or "child care provider" and worked my way to a Pre-school teacher. After a MVA and 8 visits to the hospital within a ...

When you get excited that you UNDERSTAND the conversation on House, ER, or other medical shows. Even more when you get to explain it to family members during advertisments. Groan when you watch Injections on T.V....no one ever sticks a needle in the...

NurseMaedz05 I love the way you put that into words "We can never be a best warrior if we never experience to get wounded" I LOVE that! however I feel that I've been getting more than my share of wounds lately. I am a new nurse, got my licensure in J...

I think too many Unit Managers do not pay attention to what the floor nurses actually have to do. they just sit in thier offices not concerned with what's going on outside of thier doors. I enjoy when the "Higher Up's" come out and speak with pts or ...
