    Congratulations! I started May 1st and am hoping to be done in six months. This definitely inspired me that it can be

  2. Choose Your Favorite TV Nurse

    kitkat260 replied to allnurses's topic in General Nursing

    Carla from Scrubs. She always advocated for her patients no matter what she had to do or who she made angry by doing so and she demanded (and received) respect from the doctors for herself as a

  3. Readmission-a small rant

    kitkat260 posted a topic in Western Governors University

    Just had to share a little bit of frustration that I've had today with the process of trying to get readmitted to WGU. Sorry in advance for my rant. I had began my RN to BSN nearly 4 years ago at...

  4. which MSN to finish?

    kitkat260 replied to BirkieGirl's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I would be interested in reading the replies to this also. I am interested in Nursing Education but I am wondering if it would be better to get a MSN in Clinical Leadership so that I can have more...

  5. Readmission-a small rant

    kitkat260 replied to kitkat260's topic in Western Governors University

    Thank you everyone for the encouragement. I appreciate it. I did a lot of thinking since I received that email to make sure that I was still dedicated to getting my BSN and I decided to accept...

  6. Readmission-a small rant

    kitkat260 replied to kitkat260's topic in Western Governors University

    I was approved for financial aid already for this next term so I think that it is just WGU's policy, though I noticed today when I logged in to my WGU portal that it says that I am in good standing...

    kitkat260 replied to Silverdragon102's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    "The candidate has previously passed this exam. A new appointment cannot be scheduled" I can't wait to see my license number post to the BON website

  8. Hard time finding LPN-RN online programs...

    kitkat260 replied to Mr.NurseGuy's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Indiana State University has a distance learning program for LPN to BSN. This might be one step more than you were wanting but it might be worth it to have the extra

  9. Learn To Say It Correctly!!

    kitkat260 replied to SheriLynnRN's topic in General Nursing

    I think that I am most irritated to see fellow nurses put that we have "recieved" medication for a resident. Um, it's "i" before "e" except after c. Received! You have a college education people,...

  10. Do you identify yourself as a nurse when you or your family are a patient?

    kitkat260 replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    I try not to introduce myself as a nurse b/c I realize that just because I'm a nurse, it doesn't mean that I know everything about the medical situation (there's a reason that nurses specialize!) and...

  11. Really struggling with first job in nursing home

    kitkat260 replied to Pegasus65's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Pegasus65, I'm glad to hear that your new job is working out so well. I, too, seem to have made it into a facility that is willing to train and answer questions. And yes, the med cart is so much more...

  12. Ivy Tech 'Fall 2010' Applicants

    kitkat260 replied to Emmi7's topic in Indiana Nursing

    I have the same issue. I used clear nail polish to cover the part of the metal on the watch that touches my skin. This seems to have helped. I've also worn a long sleeved shirt under my scrub shirt...

    kitkat260 replied to Pegasus65's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Thank you kocheli, positive postings from members is one of the main reasons that I keep coming back to this website! It really helps to have someone else share their experiences with you to let you...

  14. Really struggling with first job in nursing home

    kitkat260 replied to Pegasus65's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Yes, never a good sign when an employee is "out of there" at the first opportunity! I was just offered a job today at another nursing home. At first I didn't want to accept it but I had just had a...

  15. Really struggling with first job in nursing home

    kitkat260 replied to Pegasus65's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Thank you Pegasus65. It really helps to know that I am not alone in this experience. I have been feeling so bad about this experience and it doesn't help that my former classmate is still working...

  16. Really struggling with first job in nursing home

    kitkat260 replied to Pegasus65's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I obtained my LPN in September and started a new job in LTC in October. I was so excited to get a new job so quickly. The excitement quickly turned to dread. I was supposed to get 5 days of...

  17. MedTech College

    kitkat260 replied to lasdrs07's topic in Indiana Nursing

    I went to Ivy Tech for my LPN. It seemed to me that they tried to cram too much info into too short of a time. A lot of our material was "self-study" that was tested on in class along with the...

  18. SB Chemistry & Lifespan Development online

    kitkat260 posted a topic in Indiana Nursing

    Has anyone else on here taken Chemistry or Lifespan Development online through Ivy Tech South Bend? I am just wondering how the lab in Chemistry is done online? I am also curious of what papers,...

  19. ATI EXIT EXAM

    kitkat260 replied to gjsotero's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    My ATI Mock NCLEX Exam was 180 questions, 30 of these questions were "research" questions that didn't apply to my results, and I think that it took me just over an hour to complete, though I am a fast...

  20. Instructor's throwing out exam questions

    kitkat260 replied to dblpn's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I have had instructors throw out questions in the past because they felt that if the majority of the class missed it, then it was a poorly written question (most of our exam questions come from a test...

  21. does IVY TECH, Ft Wayne give quality nursing training?

    kitkat260 replied to movingforward3's topic in Indiana Nursing

    A lot of information in the nursing program at Ivy Tech Fort Wayne is self study-like dosage calculations and medical terminology-but you are still tested on it in class and it counts against your...

  22. how can I be a good clinical student?

    kitkat260 replied to picurn10's topic in General Nursing

    We won't be allowed to pass meds until we have checked off on this in lab, which will be in the next 3-4 weeks. I don't know how they can allow us to pass meds this early in our training. We are...

  23. how can I be a good clinical student?

    kitkat260 replied to picurn10's topic in General Nursing

    You get a nurse? How lucky are you! We were assigned a pt. on the first day of clinical and were told that the best way to learn was to jump right in. We were left trying to figure out what we were...

  25. starting school this fall

    kitkat260 replied to kassi30's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm 33, and math and science were never my strong subjects. I was surprised that I did as well as I did in these sections on my TEAS test. I also did very well in my ANP 101 & 102 classes, so...
