  1. I give up on waiting and I need a new plan

    Ms Kylee replied to clamaity21's topic in General Nursing

    Does your hospital have a nursing program? Mine does, and employees are given priority and we get free tuition. Course, we have to give them another year, but what the heck... at least I know I'll...

  2. Tattoos

    Ms Kylee replied to Fancy Face's topic in General Nursing

    Place I called and was considering going for mine was very nice and helpful on the phone. I never made it to the shop to observe despite an invitation from the owner. They got shut down twice for...

  3. Is it too late for me?

    Ms Kylee replied to FinderKeeper's topic in General Nursing

    I started my program at 44... and I found out today I still qualify for the Army Nurse Corps... so seriously thinking about doing

  4. Any patients you couldn't stand et how did you deal?

    Ms Kylee replied to fultzymom's topic in General Nursing

    Dr. Laura says.. you don't have to be anything but polite... I've found it's helped in dealing with difficult people that I can't stand (Primarily my ex sister in law and B**** of her daughter). I'm...

  5. Pre-employment physical

    Ms Kylee replied to mlmRN30's topic in General Nursing

    My preemployment physical did a blood draw to see if my Hep B shots were still working and nothiing more. They also did a UA drug screen and I saw the results right after I was done. All of this was...

  6. Passed Practicum!

    Ms Kylee posted a topic in General Nursing

    I had Practicum today, and as luck would have it, I wound up having to go last. Last night, I was a basket case because we didn't learn all of the stuff we were supposed to know. I kept having...

  7. Passed Practicum!

    Ms Kylee replied to Ms Kylee's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, we were tested. I'm in an LPN program, not RN. I'll go on for my RN once I graduate, since my hospital offers tuition reimbursement for both. My only gripe about the program is that I feel...

  8. Re: Potential Employers and your not wanting them to contact previous employers

    Ms Kylee replied to Jo Dirt's topic in General Nursing

    When I was unemployed for 9 months, I thought a former employer was gtiving me a bad reference, so I called them, put on a really nasally voice and asked for a reference on myself. My old supervisor...

  9. Second-career? what was the first?

    Ms Kylee replied to goldie66's topic in General Nursing

    Journalist. Got fired by the hometown paper after 3 months because they didn't want to pay benefits (they are notorious for this). Bumped around doing a bazillion jobs that paid less money. Went...

  10. Nervous about Clincals

    Ms Kylee posted a topic in General Nursing

    My clinicals start on June 16. We have no more clinical practice before we start, and I don't really feel I'm ready for this. For example, we had 1 night of blood pressure training, which was...

  11. Nervous about Clincals

    Ms Kylee replied to Ms Kylee's topic in General Nursing

    Well, I got 100 on my CPR written test and passed the practical part yesterday, even though I got the "new" dummy who didn't have much practice time and took forever for me to inflate the lungs....

  12. Newbie! Taking the NET in a week, nervous!!

    Ms Kylee replied to Jdreamer05's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    It wasn't bad at all! I took mine last year and I actually passed the math part with a high enough score that I could have totally bombed the English (my better subject) I still would have been...

  13. Oldest pregnant patient you have seen?

    Ms Kylee replied to Heloisea3's topic in General Nursing

    Lord.. and I think I'm too old at 45.... *Can't wait for

  14. encourgement

    Ms Kylee replied to ldarav7's topic in General Nursing

    I felt like you did when I first started 14 weeks ago. I ran around the first week with my head in my hands saying "what the h*** did I get myself into?' I almost quit before I even started. It...

  15. I need some encouragement please

    Ms Kylee replied to TazziRN's topic in General Nursing

    Tazzi, Now you're starting to sound like me. I got the can at my last job (not a nursing position) because (you'll love this) I didn't "call off" on Good Friday. Never mind that I was given...

  16. Nervous about Clincals

    Ms Kylee replied to Ms Kylee's topic in General Nursing

    Update: I went to Anatomy tutoring yesterday and only 2 of my other classmates were there. Turns out I'm not the only one who's concerned about not having any more lab time between practicum next...

  17. Police officer or RN

    Ms Kylee replied to cyb's topic in General Nursing

    Don't make this decision for him, let him make it on his own. At 18, I was told I could not be a LPN because "In 10 years LPN's will be nonexistent, you must go to college." Hated every stinking...

  18. Never ending frustration in LTC.....

    Ms Kylee replied to luvmy2angels's topic in General Nursing

    That's why I don't want to work in LTC. My roomie had the same situation at the LTC place where she worked. She hated it. They'd call her in on her days and weekends off and called at all hours of...

  19. Navy Nursing Candidate Program

    Ms Kylee replied to aimzq's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sure I did do the right thing at the time because nobody knew if Dad would survive the stroke. But he did, came back very well, just a little hemiparesis and a loss of the long term memory, but...

  20. I was let go !

    Ms Kylee replied to gt4everpn's topic in General Nursing

    God, that place sounds like the PT place that decided that a transcriptionist didn't need any orientation. They just plunked me down in front of the dictaphone and said "type". I took the job as a...

  21. Interview went really well!!!

    Ms Kylee replied to TazziRN's topic in General Nursing

    Congratulations! This is wonderful that they want to hire you now! It's a great feeling to have a choice, isn't

  22. Navy Nursing Candidate Program

    Ms Kylee replied to aimzq's topic in General Nursing

    If I could erase 25 years and go back, I'd join up in a heartbeat. As it was, I got talked out of doing this because my dad was sick. I should have gone, and I'll always regret not

  23. Nervous about Clincals

    Ms Kylee replied to Ms Kylee's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks, everyone! Let me say first off that I'm in a 2 year part time LPN program because I couldn't get a BSN or a diploma school to fit with my work schedule, so I have to go the LPN route first....
