I have posted a few times before about my physicians office job as a LPN (the receptionist promoted to office manager because the hospital could find no one else for the job and the office being so disorganized..etc...) and it seems like now every we...

I said the same thing and was told that the receptionist had said that she was the only one up front and could not go out to the parking lot looking for the patient and somehow the responsibility for making sure a patient is seen when he walks out of...

I graduated from nursing school in fall of last year and began working as a LPN in a physician's practice owned by a hospital back at the end of January 2009. The staff that I joined had been together for at least two years before the practice was p...

I took my NCLEX-PN earlier this morning and it cut off at 85. I just wanted to scream and shake the computer screen. I felt like I didn't know anything. I have counted at least eleven questions that I've gotten wrong already and that was with easy st...

This is a very long post and I apologize in advance for its length but I have an enormous workplace issue that I need some advice in solving. I am a new LPN, just graduated in August 2008 and passed my boards in September 2008. I landed my second j...

please hold off the attack and exclamation points. i apologize if you misunderstood but i do not refer to her attitude as "yankeeness" my co-worker coined this term of "yankeeness" herself. maybe i should have worded my post differently to make it un...

I have decided to meet with my NP on Monday morning and talk to her about what is going on. Thank you all for your wonderful advice.

I just passed the NCLEX-PN on September 19th and after nearly a month of job searching I finally found a LTC facility that is interested. The facilitiy is about 40 miles away from my home which isn't very good because of the gas prices but when the D...

i graduate (hopefully) from my lpn progam on july 30 and i am so stressed out and depressed. we have just returned from our break today and out class work for the 10 week session is overwhelming, and now the whole "okay, so what's next" dread that i'...

i do understand that there are limitations as to what the lpn can do, so i definitely did not go into this thinking that i was going to graduate and get a job in an icu or anything, but i did think that i was going to get a well-rounded learning expe...

At the beginning of the semester in January, I was placed on a clincial action plan for my clinical performance. I did several labs on campus and wasn't allowed to go back to the clinical site until after spring break which was the second week of Ma...

I posted previously that I had been placed on a clinical action plan on April 17th with only 3 clincial days left in the semester and today I was told that I still wasn't functioning on the level of a second semester student and I wouldn't be moving ...

I beleive there is favoritism too. I'm constantly being compared to other students but these are the same students that listen to lung sounds through clothing and show up to clincal site without stethoscopes. One day I left my penlight in the car a...

As the OP, I think that I've been misunderstood in my first post. I never said that I don't take responsibility for my actions. As I was writing my post, I wrote objectively listing what I did and what my CI's response was, not as an excuse to blam...

I am a second semester 1st year nursing student and this sememster I have had the hardest time with my clinical rotations. I feel like everything I do is wrong and that I'm not performing as well as my clincial classmates. According to my CI, I don...

Well, I'm going to meet with my CI tommorrow. I don't want to fail and I don't want to get kicked out of the clincial rotations because I've already been on clinical remediation earlier this semester. I feel like I should plead my case. I am work...

This a continuation of my other post. Today I had to meet with my clinical advisor and the instructor afterclass and I was told that I am not to go back to the clinical site on Monday and instead I have to go to campus and watch films and write repo...

Thanks for all the support. I just really feel terrible right now but I know that this is what I want to do. I realize that I haven't been putting my best foot forward but I still don't believe that I deserved such a harsh punishment. I cannot cha...

I am a second semester ADN nursing student and today I really feel like quitting. Last semester I had a really great clinical instructor that was very helpful and easy to communicate with however this semester our clincal groups changed and I was ass...

I feel like I'm not really getting a chance and I feel like I have to try 100x harder than anyone else in the clincal just to prove myself. It wouldn't be so bad if I knew what she expects but she is so unapproachable. Like I said, last semester we...

Pain, Pallor, Pulse, Paralysis, Parathesis

Is she like this with just you or other students as well? She's like this with one other student that is on the Tuesday rotation. She told that student that she only had two weeks to decide whether she wanted to be a nurse or not. I did feel like w...

I am a first year student in the ADN program. I am generally a friendly person and I get along pretty well with everyone with the exception of one person. I've posted before about the situation but it seems to have progressively gotten worst since Au...

Another thing that I don't understand is that she's actually dragging the third member of our lab group into the mix as well. Yesterday, I had to go print some things at our computer lab and sat beside the third member of our lab group and I asked h...

I believe that she is capable of physical assault as well. Another student that was in her pre-req Bio class said that she tried to fight a student and that the Bio instructor had to restrain her. I thought that the easiest way to avoid conflict w...
