    Medsport posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    I just found out monday I passed the NCLEX and now have my LPN license. I had been waiting to call the lady from the local jail when I heard. Well they filled the FT position, but have a PT open. 2...

  2. passed-need job stat

    Medsport replied to Medsport's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Yeah, I know that much. My problem will probably be not talking enough as I am usually very quiet until I get to know people and then I still don't talk a lot. I'm sure they will ask questions in the...

  3. passed-need job stat

    Medsport replied to Medsport's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I was going to call one of the places back that I applied at on Tuesday, but the ad in the paper says "please no phone calls". Does that mean just people inquiring about jobs or also people checking...

  4. passed-need job stat

    Medsport replied to Medsport's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I did'nt even think about taking 2 part-time nursing jobs. That is an idea. I have'nt even had an interview yet though. And NYDreamer, I did try to apologize, called, she did'nt answer, so left an...

  5. passed-need job stat

    Medsport replied to Medsport's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Thanks for the reply. Yes, I would consider PT. But like I said, I can only work 4 days at the plant if I stayed PT and if I got 2 shifts every other weeked in a PT nursing job, I would be lucky to...

  6. Dress for interview

    Medsport replied to Jaguar700's topic in Men in Nursing

    I have never owned a suit (I know pretty bad at 37). I wonder if I could just wear a nice shirt and dockers for an LPN interview if I ever get one? My gf says to just wear scrubs. She did to both of...

    Medsport replied to RNfaster's topic in General Nursing

    Medsport posted a topic in Nursing Career

    I just found out I passed the LPN program today. I still have to study and take the NCLEX though. I want to start applying to some jobs, but not sure which ones. There are several in the paper this...

  9. Background checks

    Medsport posted a topic in Ohio Nursing

    Hey guys, I only have about 3 weeks of school left and I'm getting ready to send in the NCLEX aplication. Our instructor informed us that if we had any felony or misdemeanor conviction to put it on...

  10. Background checks

    Medsport replied to Medsport's topic in Ohio Nursing

    Thanks, my instructor contacted them and they said to put no on the application, but still put my explanation letter in with it. I guess the courts give different charges to offences as minors so I...

  11. Salary to expect as a new grad nurse

    Medsport replied to ashfost's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Wow, I must be living in a bad area (NW Ohio), because starting pay around here is between $13-16/hr. But that is for an LPN, RN's make about $2-3 more an hour. I heard in the city (about an hour...

  12. full-time?

    Medsport posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    I'm in my last semester in the LPN program. I still have 2 more weeks of clinicals, then a month of precepting. I hope I can learn alot in precepting because I did'nt even have a patient my first week...

  14. Risk for, ect.

    Medsport posted a topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Medsport posted a topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I'm working on my first care plan for my med-surg rotation. My patient had osteoarthritis and had a knee replaced. She also has some minor to moderate contractures of an elbow and wrist. She...

  16. acute or chronic?

    Medsport replied to Medsport's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Thanks, daytonite. I believe our instructors always want to put pain first if it applies for some reason. But for the rest, they look pretty good except my NDB says knowledge deficit does not...

  17. Passed, barely

    Medsport posted a topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Ok, I passed ob and peds. As some of you might remember, I was not getting good grades on tests and needed to good on the finals to pass. I did bad on the ATI's (72 & 65), but with some help from...

  19. Help!

    Medsport replied to Medsport's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Well I bombed the last peds test-my worst grade I've got all year, even with some hw bonus thrown in and I studied more than I ever had. I don't know what the deal is. I think maybe I'm trying to go...

  20. Help!

    Medsport replied to Medsport's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I think more the critical thinking. The questions are multiple choice and there are usually two "right" answers and I'm just picking the one that is not as "right" now. But there is some much...

  23. lactose intolerance

    Medsport replied to springgarden's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I don't know, but I'd also be interested if somebody does know. I think I have a slight lactose intolerance as I can't drink milk, but I can eat pizza, cheese, and small amounts of ice cream. I also...

  24. 1 more Dx

    Medsport replied to Medsport's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Your right, the main dx would have to be either acute pain or impaired skin integrity, since he did have an open sore. I'm not sure, but I think they took a sample or aspirated it. There was an x-ray...

    Medsport posted a topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I have a paper due for peds coming up in a couple weeks. Its supposed to be 10-15 pages and I just started it. I hate doing papers with a passion. We have a little MLA book, but it dos'nt go into...
