  1. Medical Missions Trips?

    blueberrybon replied to newflgrad's topic in General Nursing

    I'm a brand new LPN and am going on a medical mission trip to the Dominican Republic THIS FRIDAY! I'm very excited. It is a very short trip, just 8 days all together. The group I'm going with is...

  2. Anyone know of any NON-DENOMINATIONAL organizations?

    blueberrybon replied to michelle*rn*'s topic in General Nursing

    Somos Amigos Medical Missions is a non-religous group. Though the original members belonged to a jesuit college. They go on VERY short trips to the Dominican Republic (8 day trips) twice a year...

  3. Why are Newbies Such Whiners?

    blueberrybon replied to Ruby Vee's topic in General Nursing

    first of all, i think this statement hits the nail on the head. the stress of being a newbie or even a student, combined with the over-taxed nurse having to successfully deal with job and teaching at...

  4. Got someone mad at me

    blueberrybon replied to TazziRN's topic in General Nursing

    My goodness! This conversation has gone full circle! What I love about it is that everyone has opinions, and can voice them accordingly. I'm so glad to see that life is the same everywhere! Yep,...

  5. Vent: I absolutely HATE stupidity! Not ignorance.....STUPIDITY!!

    blueberrybon replied to TazziRN's topic in General Nursing

    A previous poster already mentioned this to some extent, but consumer reports recently did a test on car seats. The results were horrible. For those who want to know if their car seats are safe or...

  8. Mississippi LPN's (Questions?)

    blueberrybon replied to QueenMum's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I'm sorry, I'm in Washington State so I don't have any information at all, except to say that at least 80 - 90 percent of my LPN class worked as CNAs while in the LPN program. So whatever the Hinds...

    blueberrybon replied to EthnicBeauty's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Everyone has opinions... Hey commuter... I love your posts... I think you're very knowledgeable and helpful... But that's just my opinion. As far as cost, I don't even know what mine was exactly. I...

  10. As LPN's age

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

    I'm going into the field as a second career. I know better than to expect myself to be able to work anywhere where I will be using my back. I'm going for dr. office type stuff. To the rest of you...

  11. What is your job?

    blueberrybon replied to mgalloLPN's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I hope to be able to say: "I work in a doctors office from 8-5 monday through friday". My interview is TODAY! I haven't interviewed in 17 years! Maybe I'll be letting you all know my job description...

  13. Clinicals?

    blueberrybon replied to pyseymo's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Pam: No worries! You'll be fine. Clinicals are time spent in various health care facilities where you put your newly learned skills to use. I don't know if all schools are pretty much alike, but as...

  14. NCLEX was not easy

    blueberrybon replied to flwannaB's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    It sure seems like most of us passed at 85 questions. The only weird thing about that is that sometimes, like in my case, there were absolutely no dosage calculations problems or even measurement...

  15. I got into LPN program-what to expect first weeks??

    blueberrybon replied to bethinct's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Our first quarter we covered basic structure and function of the human body, basic skills lab, and clinicals in a local nursing home. Our very first class covered study tips which I poo-pooed but now...

  16. First Interview!!

    blueberrybon replied to RCM190's topic in General Nursing

    blueberrybon replied to solidergirl's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I guess blonds are factored into that 85% pass rate! I passed! I sure wish I could find out how many I got right. The test stopped at the minimum 85 questions. Now I need to find a

    blueberrybon posted a topic in General Nursing

    Anyone want to put in their two cents worth on the pro's and con's of medical marijuana? Have you ever been in the position to "help" with administration? Do you think it helps? What do you think of...

  21. medical marijuana

    blueberrybon replied to blueberrybon's topic in General Nursing

    I feel so rejected! Is this a subject that noone wants to touch with a ten foot pole? Do I need to dare you to respond? Okay, I double dog dare

    blueberrybon replied to breakin_moon's topic in General Nursing

  23. Please tell me the anxiety gets better!

    blueberrybon replied to CSNS's topic in General Nursing

    Well, I would have to label myself as the queen of "scared stiff". I am an LPN student who is about to graduate (December 10th!). If I was able to get past being axious, you will too. I'm sure you...
