  5. Where to go and live?

    I agree with The Commuter. However, when moving up here try to move after you get your job, I moved where I would be against traffic and my commute was only 20 min. Had I been with traffic it would have been almost an hour. McKinney has a lot of "Ne...
  6. What would you say to a new nursing student?

    OMG! Time management What I ended up having to do (because our instructors were notorious for giving us bad info) : I took all of my class schedules, syllabus and "memos" and kept them in a seperate folder with a big empty month-to-a-page-calander ...
  7. What would you say to a new nursing student?

    My advice from a new lpn grad is don't stand out. If you have previous medical experience- forget it. Grades are subjective, clinically and in class. If they expect you to know a lot and you only know average, your grades may be lower than they shou...
  8. I am a new LPN, with no experience. I am really interested in working in corrections in my city. I did a semester of externship there and I think I would like to work there. Here is my concern, and perhaps someone might have some good advice for m...
  9. Lower back pain anyone?

    huh..., all the answers are really good.... but I just started nursing school too and I find that taking a memory foam pillow helps my back. YEA, It's one more thing to carry but at least when I get home I don't go straight to bed (like I did last we...
  10. OMG! I am now a week late. I got one of the ept things and it's control strip came up and the test strip was faint, but it kept getting darker after the time. I've been working for 8 years to get into school and when it finally looks like i've been...
  11. HELP: Starting shchool and getting pregnant???

    I've been talking with my husband all day. Thank you all for your encouragement (either way) I'll get a accurate blood test this week. We think that the possibilty of school and being pregnant is not possible. My school dosn't let me do clinicals ...
  12. You know you work nights when.......

    You roll up to Jack in the Box at 6:30 PM and ask for a breakfast jack and coffee. OHOH! I almost forgot this one: I rolled through 3 consecutive stop signs on my way to get lunch at Jack in the Box, and the only lights around were WAY behind me, th...
  13. Houston

    If you want to live in the suburbs (sugarland/katy/woodlands) plan on driving for an hour if you are going to be working in the med center. Does traffic stress you out? need a shorter commute? There are some nice places in montrose/ heights, which ar...
  14. Any HCC LVN Students

    1)who r u talking to? 2)what test are you talking about? The NClex? If so I think that you register once you have enough clock hours to take the test. Anytime after that you can register to take the test, and it depends on when they have an opening...

  17. 10 things you say at work lay people could get arrested for

    I look very asian, but I'm hispanic, so working in a family care clinic for a chinese doctor he taught me what to say as a curtesy to his patients. I would walk in, paper garments in hand and say (in mandarin): "I don't speak chinese, please get nak...
  18. Any HCC LVN Students

    kt24: It dosn't surprise me. I scored a 100 on the math and a 69?79? on the reading, and I was sweating bullets. I don't think that the reading on the net is accurate or fair. Good luck. and be careful taking nutrition, they only accept the nutrit...
  19. Pt Threats and Name Badges (again)

    look up the law. I worked in TX as a teller and by law they could not force me to put my last name on anything that was in the public view. I was robbed (the first robbery in that bank ever!), by note and bomb threat, he knew only my first name and ...

  21. Nursing Community: I need your feedback

    I worked as a Medical Assistant for about five years, and the office was primarily pediatrics, every once in a while we would get an urgent care case. These were usually kids that had a cut, or a broken arm, or a high fever- things of that nature. ...

  25. Fun book covers?

    i've always liked wrapping the books with old magazine pages of things that interested me. Then I would cover the book with a funky color or pattern cellophane. I'll do one sometime this weekend and find a way to get a link.......:)
