  1. LVN/LPN schools

    Ms Kylee replied to dancer1978's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    My program didn't require prereqs, and they don't have a waiting list. All you have to do is have a HS diploma and take the NET test. I'm not sure where you are, but my program is in

  2. How Many Times Did You Apply to Nursing School

    Ms Kylee replied to wannabenursi's topic in General Nursing

    Applied 3 times, twice to BSN, once to LPN. Accepted to all on first try. HS grades were good, college just average. First time I applied to BSN, I couldn't attend. Started LPN, carried a 4.0...

  3. Careful with those Crocs

    Ms Kylee replied to EmmaG's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I LOVE my Crocs! I can't wear tennies at work anymore beause after 8 hours, I have such sore feet, I can hardly move. Even insoles didn't help.... I just hope they don't get banned at my hospital or...

  4. Problems with CNAs and Jeopardizing Nursing License

    Ms Kylee replied to medsurgrnco's topic in General Nursing

    In PA, you only have to be licensed as a CNA for Long Term Care. For Acute Care, you don't need a license. I feel really awful about all of you nurses that have bad aides that don't report...

  5. Should I rock the boat??

    Ms Kylee replied to anggelRN's topic in General Nursing

    No, don't rock the boat. Take it from someone who did.. and paid the price. Stay under the radar, keep your mouth shut, and above all, PLAY THE GAME because you will not

  6. I'm New And Have A Question.

    Ms Kylee replied to greggysmama's topic in General Nursing

    Almost 30 years ago when I was in high school, I was told not to pursue LPN because they were being phased out. Almost 30 years later, LPNs are still around. My school's part time class started at...

  7. You can help me when you have time

    Ms Kylee replied to jessiern's topic in General Nursing

    When the nurses ask me for help and I'm doing vitals, I drop my vitals to help. Obviously, they need help or they wouldn't ask. It takes all of 5 minutes (if that) if two are cleaning, changing the...

  8. 3rd semester- Feeling overwhelmed at clinical

    Ms Kylee replied to mimi13's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Oh my gosh.. I was just going to post this same thread... last week was awful and I got my butt chewed out. Last night was the wound practicum, and I totally forgot how to put on my sterile gloves...

  9. Commonplace to starve someone to death?

    Ms Kylee replied to HM7380's topic in General Nursing

    I always talk to my dying patients while providing care too. I figure since the hearing is the last sense to go, the least I can do is tell them what I'm doing ("I'm going to give you a bath now, I'm...

    Ms Kylee replied to MedicalLPN's topic in General Nursing

    Lord.. .this is me every day... I so cannot wait till the end of May... My unit is slowly falling apart. The nurses are transferring at an alarming rate, all of us aides have had it and are looking...

    Ms Kylee replied to DreamyEyes's topic in General Nursing

    I would type something up just to cover my bum. If it's in writing, they can't deny you didn't give

  17. Quit or get fired?

    Ms Kylee replied to GGCC's topic in General Nursing

    I had this when I first started as an aide on my floor. Two nurses just made my life on the floor a living Hell on earth. One got fired, and the other one is still around. The sad part is she is...

  18. Unit Secretary tells me she regularly snoops electronically

    Ms Kylee replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    She'll get caught... and I have the feeling she won't learn anything from the outcome either. In my hospital, you can't even read your own chart, and charts are randomly

  19. Nurse abuses own child

    Ms Kylee replied to Marvie's topic in General Nursing

    Aren't all reports of child abuse confidential? And if so. how did this information get

  20. Skip urgent care, Come to our ER!

    Ms Kylee replied to New2ER's topic in General Nursing

    Bright idea! Maybe if insurance companies stopped paying for all but Emergency (as in life threatening) ER visits, people would stop using it as their Primary Care facility. (Yeah, like that will...

    Ms Kylee replied to racing-mom4's topic in General Nursing

    Grandmother was an RN (she didn't want to be a nurse, but my GGM told her she had to be one). Mom was a Peds CNA before she got married. 2 Great Aunts on my Dad's side were RN's. Me... the...

  25. What Should I do?

    Ms Kylee replied to Bugaloo's topic in General Nursing

    Soooo true.... If I could work closer to home, I would do it in a heartbeat. The only problem is, the local hospital only hires RNs, and no LPNs. I'd go with the local hospital. You'll save money...
