    Elle.p.enn replied to cindib's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I too had 75 questions, lots of priority, tons of pharm. I had no idea on about 75% of this test, and just went with my "educated guess". I've taken the lpn test as well, and wasn't worried about...

    When is your graduation date? May 18, 2007 Any special plans after graduation? I'm celebrating with my family for a few days, then possibly going to Vegas for a weekend. When will you be taking the...

  6. So, are you working?

    Elle.p.enn replied to luv4nursing's topic in LPN to RN

    I'm in a LPN to BSN program and am at the end of my preceptorship. I worked 16 to 24 hours throughout, mostly 8 hour shifts, on top of the 3 twelves with my preceptor. I'm a little frazzled now, to...

  7. What Is the Problem With These Nurses?

    Elle.p.enn replied to Sheri257's topic in General Nursing

    I can tell from this statement that, unfortunately, you have ended up with a less-than-satisfactory preceptor. It's part of the preceptor's job to provide you with feedback. I'm in a preceptorship...

  10. Scary Med-Surg Floor?

    Elle.p.enn posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hi everyone, I'm doing my preceptorship for RN on a medical-surgical floor. I've learned so much it's amazing, I have a great preceptor. But, so many things I've seen the other nurses do are so far...

  11. CONTINUED IN WHAT IS THE MAJOR REASON Why are they all leaving?

    Elle.p.enn replied to artistnurse's topic in General Nursing

    Scares me a little too, but I think this post attracts people who have negative views/opinions about the current nursing environment. We should start a post that says: "Why are nurses staying?" or...

  12. CONTINUED IN WHAT IS THE MAJOR REASON Why are they all leaving?

    Elle.p.enn replied to artistnurse's topic in General Nursing

    I'm in the same position as you, I'm doing a preceptorship on a med-surg floor with 4 patients. I do the aide's job at times, too, but usually the aides help if you ask them nicely/help them out too....

  13. I Hit A Bone!!

    Elle.p.enn replied to breakin_moon's topic in General Nursing

    I did the same thing in a similar situation, pneumococcal vaccine, thin, elderly lady, IM needle, 1 inch, 23 guage. I felt a sickening "thud", like chewing aluminum foil, and the poor woman jumped....

  14. Threatening clinical instructor

    Elle.p.enn replied to Elle.p.enn's topic in General Students

    Thanks to everyone for the extremely thoughtful and helpful advice :) My gut instinct is to wait for now, if it gets worse, I'll send her a nonconfrontational email. Thanks

  15. Threatening clinical instructor

    Elle.p.enn posted a topic in General Students

    Hi everyone, I have a clinical instructor during my preceptorship that is something else. I said one of my learning objectives during clinical was proper medication administration, and she said if I...

  16. College Network

    Elle.p.enn replied to Laught3r's topic in LPN to RN

    I had an appointment with a rep from there last year. 1. You "self-study" with modules that they give you, then go to a testing center to take a test, you have to set this testing center up yourself....

    Elle.p.enn posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hi all, I'm graduating next May (RN) and I still have no idea what kind of nursing I want to do. I don't like peds, I like geriatrics, but I also like ICU: cardio and neuro. I've never tried...

  18. Help, very discouraged, want to quit

    Elle.p.enn replied to tlackey's topic in LPN to RN

    Hi, I did the same thing, graduated from LPN school last August '05, then started LPN to RN school a few weeks later. For me, RN school is easier than LPN, I knew the basics of nursing, so the info...

  19. LPN's in Urgent Care

    Elle.p.enn posted a topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Hi everyone, I just found my first "real" LPN job, it's in an urgent care setting. There are three doctors: a cardiologist, a pulmonologist, and an orthopedist. There are no RN's. I get one week of...

  20. Has anyone done the LPN to RN back to back??

    Elle.p.enn replied to *lisa*'s topic in LPN to RN

    I'm doing this now, graduate in May '07. I think it has helped a little, the RN courses seem to flow easier, now that I've got the LPN under my belt. I think you'll find the RN to be more...
