I just wanted to reply with this message regarding allergies. I don't know if this helps or not. Breast-Feeding Seems to Protect Against Some Allergies It helps high-risk infants prone to eczema, asthma and food allergies, report suggests By Amanda Gardner Posted 1/7/08 MONDAY, Jan. 7 (HealthDay News) -- Atopic disease -- which includes eczema, asthma and food allergies -- may be delayed or even prevented in high-risk infants if they are exclusively breast-fed for at least four months or fed infant formula without cow milk protein. "The best prevention for atopic [allergic] disease is exclusive breast-feeding for four months," he added. "And if your infant comes from a family with significant atopic disease, then weaning from breast milk to a partially or extensively hydrolyzed [hypoallergenic] formula [without cow milk protein] may delay or prevent the onset of atopic disease, especially atopic dermatitis [eczema]." http://health.usnews.com/usnews/health/healthday/080107/breast-feeding-seems-to-protect-against-some-allergies.htm

Hello everyone. I am a new LPN. This is my 3rd month now at a LTC facility. I really like it and want to do good. I am feeling like I am constantly doing something wrong like with charting and writing orders and constantly worried that I'll do something wrong. I had a Pharmacy surveyor come in a couple days ago right before I went on my weekend off. I was so nervous. I felt kind of insulted. Why would they have had a surveyor out to watch me and not the others? Is that really fair? How does the facility pick who a Pharmacy surveyor watches for the day? I may be overreacting to this and be taking this too personally. That just bothers me that they would watch me and not the others who have been there longer. The other nurses told me they have never been watched before. I stay constantly anxious though which isnt good and I don't know if I need this the rest of my life.

Hi. I graduated the LPN program in August 06. I haven't worked as an LPN yet due to remodeling my home and recovering from a bunionectomy. During that time I have looked into positions but I have not found anything except in a LTC. I am so afraid that if I don't do something soon, I will forget the information that I attained in school. I can already tell that I've forgotten some things. Any ideas? I just thought there was so much more opportunity when I was taking the course. How should I go about looking for a job? Online, calling every doctor's office and hospital, door to door? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hey Yall. I passed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YEAH!!!! :balloons: I can't believe it! Thanks for all of your comments. Reading alot of the discussion groups in this forum and ,of course, praying gave me a lot of hope. Thanks.

Can you get NCLEX results on the weekend? I took my test Thursday and we can pay to get our results in 2 days. Do you think they would post them on Saturday?

Thanks everyone. I have been praying. Keep me in your prayers as well.

Hey everyone. I just took the NCLEX yesterday and I stopped at 145. I am so afraid that I failed. I felt like I didn't know anything!!! I felt like I guessed at most of them. I dont ever want to take that one again but I may have to. Does anyone have any reassurance?
