1. Is Picmonic Worth It?

   Lamie replied to Rew3n's topic in General Students

   I LOVE picmonic! I wish I would have found about it before I took the NACE LPN-RN bridge exam. I'm starting the LPN-RN bridge progam this fall and I subscribed to their RN course to get a head start...

2. Should I stay or should I go?

   Lamie replied to Lamie's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

   Yeah, I should be happy to have this job, but I'm not loving it. I still miss the hands on part. I'll stick with it for now because the money is good and I need those hours because of my kids, but...

   Lamie replied to Lamie's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

   Thank you for all your input. I think I will try to work PRN at another facility or in home health to test the waters there. My only concern is that they might not be willing to train me if I only...

   Lamie posted a topic in LPN, LVN Corner

   I'm in a bit of a dilemma here. I graduated from my LPN program last fall and got a job at a large clinic right away. I had spent part of my clinical rotation there and I liked it. The pay is...

6. Pearsonvue Trick Is this TRUE? Does it work every time?

   Lamie replied to brichielpn08's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

   The trick worked for me! I took the NCLEX PN on the 14th and the computer shut off after 85 questions. I felt really confident that I passed because I didn't find the test all that hard. I went home...

7. Graduated in August, STILL waiting for NCLEX test date

   Lamie replied to Lamie's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

   Thank you! I did what you suggested and contacted my BON. Sure enough, they messed up my SSN and had not forwarded the info to Pearson Vue (never mind contacting ME!!). Anyways, they fixed it on...

8. Graduated in August, STILL waiting for NCLEX test date

   Lamie posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

13. TCC's new lottery!

    Lamie replied to mrsb04's topic in Washington Nursing

    I agree, and I have been on both sides of the issue. When I first started taking my pre-reqs, I had a straight 4.0 GPA in all my classes, until I got pregnant and my husband deployed. I was sicker...

    I'm still a nursing student and was not able to find a clear answer anywhere online. Could someone let me know if it is within the scope of an LPN do perform this?
