I started as a LPN in LTC and as a RN I will be working ortho/rehab.

I had worked long term care as a LPN for about a year. I have been punched in the face, slapped, kicked, pinched and one tryed to bite me. I have never done anything to causes this behavior. They were confused so I really dont get too upset about it....

I felt horrible when I left the test on Thur 19th. I had 78 questions one calculation, a couple sata and the last few seemed too easy but guess what. I found out this afternoon right at 48 hrs that I passed! I am a RN!!! Everyone still waiting dont g...

I feel the same way you do about med surg. I dont hate the task but I hate the crazy run med surg can be. I think in icu at least it is a controlled chaos and I think you would have more backup help if you needed it. I would go for ICU.

I took my nclex in houston today.I felt ok before the test but after I just want to puke my guts up. In nursing school I got a 99% chance of passing 1st time on my ati comprehensive predictor but I am still having a major freak out. After the test I ...

I worked as a LPN for a yr while I finished my RN program. I am waiting on a background check to come back but I am being offered a RN hospital job good pay/sign on and because I had supervising experience in ltc in a few months they are going to mak...

I went through a bi-level program where I got my LPN and then my RN. I have worked long term care as a charge LPN and have at times been in charge over the whole facility on night shft. KS law requires a RN to be working in the facility for 8 hrs of ...

I have heard of this before. The nurse who had it was placed on adm leave for 2 weeks with pay until her cultures came back negative. I guess it depends on the hospital.

I had one patient who referred to her genitals as Texas. She said" I want to make sure no one can see TX." LOL I was trying so hard not to burst into laughter. LOL:chuckle

I am in the process of moving from KS to Houston. Two of the places I did clinicals offered me jobs but of course I told them I was moving. I have 1 yr as a PCT/med surg and almost one year as a charge nurseLPN (IV cert) in LTC but I have not heard a...

I went to school in ks and applied to TX BON. I took 2-3 weeks longer for me to get my ATT than my classmates. I think it is worth the trouble to get it in the state were you are going to work rather than go through the hassle of trying to transfer t...

I applied to TX and I noticed I am listed as a GN. YEAH!!!

I just graduated and looking for a job in another state. I posted my resume on monster jobs and have gotten alot of offers from all over the US. I would start thinking about where you would like to go to. Good Luck!:wink2:

I just graduated from NCCC. It was tough but I feel like I learned alot.

1. It been over a year ago you really need to get over it and quit trying to get me in trouble with clinical instructors. Yeah genius I know it was you! 2. Shut up during class! The person next to you failed because you were running your yap during t...

Shananin, quite a few of our alternates got in so don't worry.

I am in my first year NCC at Chanute. I wll get my LPN this summer. I think the online course will probably be time consuming. I am debating whether to take the second level online or attend class.

I am taking a pathophsiology class online and I need to post to the forum how much an abg cost(approx) and what its for. I know what it is for but I can't find anything with an approximate cost. Thanks for your help.

I am a first year student. I had a check off on bed making and I had to do it twice to get it right. I ask the instructor if making a list of what they expected in the correct order would help and she said it would. I would also have the teacher or a...
