    tiroka03 replied to hiyall's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    tiroka03 replied to tiroka03's topic in General Nursing

  5. Minnesota Roll Call

    tiroka03 replied to tiroka03's topic in General Nursing

    At first I was intimiated by the A & P class. But, as it went on, the class wasn't as hard as I had anticpated. The one area I struggled in was the edocrine system. I really liked their medical...

    tiroka03 posted a topic in LPN, LVN Students

  7. Getting Intimidated

    tiroka03 replied to maddiesmommy's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

  8. As LPN's age

    tiroka03 replied to twilite's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    tiroka03 replied to starbin's topic in General Nursing

  13. What Is the Problem With These Nurses?

    tiroka03 replied to Sheri257's topic in General Nursing

    I also would put some blame on the college. I know that some students feel they know more than the nurses with whom they will be mentoring. Students are being applauded for their achievements, and...

  18. Ever Been Fired?

    tiroka03 replied to lpnurse2004's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    A while back in the facility where I work, a pt kept throwing up. No one, including the doctor could figure it out. Most really thought it was an emotional type thing, after all she was very nervous...

    tiroka03 replied to tiroka03's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

  24. Is this the right decision?

    tiroka03 replied to cancalbloop's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I agree, any experience is better than none. If you are an aide, you already have had a lot of helpful experience in pt cares. If you have the money, or can just pass the LPN test, you will get a...
