  1. Free Lippincott questions/tests

    I went to this site, but I noticed that it was only for the RN practice test. Can you recommend any sites for the LPN practice tests? I would love to get some practice. Everytime that I google for...
  2. Pharmacology

    I finished pharmacology in the spring semester. We did have to remember some of the classifications of drugs, but mostly what it entailed was using formulas to check physician's orders for...
  3. Age when you had your first child?

    I had my first child a month after I turned 18. My second child was born 18 months later. I have just turned 40 and am the pround grandmother of a very beautiful little boy named Chase (that's where...
  4. Are You Happy ?

    One year ago my husband and I both lost our jobs due to a plant closing. He still hasn't found a job, but I'm in nursing school and will graduate in May. In spite of all of this, I consider myself...
  5. Can I take a "NON-Smoking" break please?

    I just love how Roy always takes up for the smokers. I also try to respect the people who don't smoke. I carry a travel bottle in my pocket that is filled with Febreeze and always spray my uniform...
  6. Nursing without the "yukkies".

    I can't comprehend why a germaphobic would even contemplate a career in the healthcare field. We all do things in this world that we don't particularly enjoy. We just do them because we have to....
  7. pain management after surgery

    I agree with Ca43. How long had the patient been taking narcotics before the surgery? I had back surgery last year. Prior to that surgery, I had been taking Lorcet 10/750 and Tylox for the 6 months...
  8. Forsyth Medical Center

    The only thing that I can tell you about Forsyth Hospital is that they do hire LPNs. Baptist Hospital which is also in Winston is a wonderful place to work. I can't tell you about specific pay and...
  9. reinstated license after suspension

    First of all, congratulations on your recovery. Please don't give up. No one knows what you have gone through until they have walked in your shoes. I just know that there is someone out there who...
  10. The dreaded panty line.......

    The first time that I tried on my white top and white pants I felt like a marshmellow or the Pillsbury Doughgirl. I'm sure this white uniform isn't going to look as nice coming out of clinicals as it...
  11. The dreaded panty line.......

    I start clinicals next month. We have to wear white pants and a white shirt that was purchased through the college, and these are completely see through. Our instructors have told us that we cannot...
  12. Please don't give up on your career now. You are so close to finishing. I know that your heart is broken now, but I promise that it will get better. Your children are definitely eligible for SSI...
  13. No More Demerol IV Push???

    I fiind all of this information very interesting. I was a patient in the ER Friday due to severe dehydration and nausea from a stomach virus that has been going around. I think that this is the...
  14. Pa None Smoking!

    I am a smoker and I am in the nursing program. All that I can say is that I guess my Marlboro's have saved many of a person's life when I am stressed out. I know that smoking contradicts everything...
  15. is the nclex too easy?

    I think that the reason that the pass rate is so high is attributed to the teaching skills at the facility where that you went to school. I would also like to think that anyone who goes to school...
  16. Summer 2006- What are you taking?

    I'm taking Health Changes I ( which includes 2 nights of clinicals each week), Lifestyle Changes (Psych), and English 112. Makes a total of 12 credits. I plan on tackling A & P this
  17. Why did you take up nursing? What's your story?

    I became a CNA in 2000 right after my mother was diagnosed with lung cancer. At the time I was working in a sawblade factory. I didn't give up my factory job after I got my CNA because the pay was...
  18. Any PN students here?....

    I just got capped tonight in my LPN program. I'm very happy to be in the LPN program. A lot of people asked me why that I didn't go directly into the RN program. I just felt that this was right for...
  19. Visitation and staying the night

    I live in a very small town in Virginia. Usually whenever a family member gets seriously ill they are transferred to a much larger hospital in North Carolina. This is over 100 miles away. When this...
  20. Premium membership reservations?

    To Snjoy: I just caught your post about the death of your child. That definitely puts everything else in perspective for me. I have no right to whine about my lack of money when you are having to go...
  21. Premium membership reservations?

    I think that this is an excellent site, and I love reading these boards everyday. My husband and I both lost our jobs when the factory we were working at went overseas. I'm in my second year of...
  22. Some musings about reading posts here...

    Mercyteapot: Please let me apologize. I didn't mean to upset anyone. I enjoy reading these boards very much, and I certainly don't want anyone to be mad at me. I never said that I was perfect. I...
  23. Some musings about reading posts here...

    I was very fortunate to have an excellent english teacher while I was in high school. Everyone literally hated her because she was so tough, but I loved english and I loved her. We are still good...
  24. What's Your Best Nursing Ghost Story?

    What I'm about to tell doesn't apply to nursing other than the fact that I was in nursing school when it happened. A few months ago my two son's best friend was tortured and murdered. It was done by...
  25. Virginia Student Nurses?

    I'm just entering my second year in the LPN program at Wytheville, Va. I'll graduate May 07. I plan to bridge to RN after that. Hey, are any of you Wytheville classmates on here? I love this...
