Hi, I have been a nurse (LPN) since 2006. Working on either subacute floor or sometimes long term care floor. I'm feeling a bit burnt out. I have been taking the pre-requisites towards my RN. I'm at the point where I can begin applying to RN programs...

Hi, I have been a nurse (LPN) since 2006. Working on either subacute floor or sometimes long term care floor. I'm feeling a bit burnt out. I have been taking the pre-requisites towards my RN. I'm at the point where I can begin applying to RN programs...

Congratulations on the acceptance! My LPN program was 10 months Mon-Thur 4-10p and every other weekend 7-3 ,your 18 months LPN is almost as long as the 2 yr RN program, I think you should go straight for the RN program. I was sort of in a similar si...

Hi, Ive been working as a nurse (LPN) since Sept. I work on a subacute floor. We (nurses) do not draw labs because lab people come over to do this. I don't know how and I am not trained on venipuncture. My husband and I were upgrading our life insura...

Hi, Thanks for your replies. Its nice to get other peoples views to see if Im over reacting or should be concerned. Ive been waiting to find out my lab results to see if anything was abnormal. Its funny that you mentioned the foley incident because ...

:) thanks for your message. I havent called yet but will, Ive been waiting to find out my lab results to see if anything was abnormal.

Thank you NJnursing and thank you turtlesoup. I am kicking myself now for allowing it. I know better. It just makes me really upset that instead of him being up front and saying Im not suppose to do this, he said is was ok because it was my own blood...

Hi, I recently graduated from LPN school and took and passed my boards. I'm currently sending out my resume to places. I believe I am the only one out of my gradauting class that has waited this long to start my job search - everyone else jumped on ...

4-6 weeks orientaton is much better. I bet your first week was scary, it's probally much different then what we were use to in school. But atleast this time will allow you see how how the nurses pull it all together etc how they manage. Please update...

Ok, I recently passed my boards and just started to apply for LPN positons. I went on an interview yesterday to a long term care facility and was told I would only get two days orientation one of the two would be clinical related. Also, I would have ...

Thank you - that helps alot, wasnt sure exactly what they look for in one for nursing.

rorae- Congratulations!!!! that's great news.

Thank you..Yes - I can breathe now.

I know when you go under the section that says forgot username or password? it just gives you numbers to call, that happened to me last week, I was thinking it would just send an email with the info. I really hope you can find out today.

HOTGAL73 - How soon can you know your results in your state? Try to get together with a friend to just talk it out and hang out etc.. I found that helped me the day that I took it. Try not to look up questions like I did - that made me feel worse. I ...

ShanLPN- Thank you - Yes, I'm on a high right now. It's so funny how we walk away from the test just really not knowing how we did. rorae - I found out online and I was shaking as I was putting in my credit card number. Take a deep breath... Let us k...

tcdaniels - I passed!!! :)

I Passed !!!! :)

I Keep finding myself going on to see if my reults are ready - I know that they say not for 48 hrs but I just keep hoping that they do an oops and give it to us early...lol. :)

rorae - I also took my nclex-PN yesterday and will find out on Sunday. Isn't the wait awful? my exam stopped at 85 questions too. I had the priortizing questions, infection control and labs. Our teachers also said to deal with pain first - I think o...

tcdaniels - Congratulations!!! You should be very proud of yourself. I was thinking of you before I went in to take my test. In my state you have to wait 48 hours for the quick results.....the waiting is awful. The computer shut off at 85. I left f...

EricEnfermero - I think your very correct about trying to learn more in one day. Ive actually tried to sit down and study and at this point, nothing is sinking in because of feeling nervous and anxious etc. Relax I will :)

All of a sudden I'm in panic mode and I do not feel as if I am prepared enough to sit for the boards. For the last 2 weeks or so I have read from the NCLEX-PN practice test and review for about 1 hour a day ( a chapter a day). I took a 2 day review c...

tcdaniels - My test is at 9 but they say to arrive for 8:30. Yes, definetly try to remain calm ( I have to take my own advise-lol). I have a habit of reading a question and think its asking one thing, when its really asking another. So I'm going to h...
