  1. RN's attitute toward the LPN

    labvampire replied to shoegirl28's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I totally agree with your statement. Some LPN's are already on the defense without giving them a chance. I felt the same way in clinicals, gosh we were treated like crap. Forgive and forget, I am a...

  2. RN's attitute toward the LPN

    labvampire replied to shoegirl28's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I work in the ER at my hospital. The RN's are fighting to get another full time LPN. It's only me right now and I get the utmost respect from all my co workers, including all the doctors. I know the...

  3. Hesi Exit Exam

    labvampire replied to yippit's topic in HESI Entrance, Exit Exam

    The Hesi is a predictor test. Is it required to pass it for your school? It's a long, difficult test and your brain starts to go half way through. Don't freak out about the Hesi. Take it, review...

  4. Any Lpn's that would never become a RN?

    labvampire replied to kgard7777's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Everyone's experience was different. But you almost sound resentful you were in charge of those LPN's students in clinicals. If anything, being an LPN first would have made you a little more...

  5. Any Lpn's that would never become a RN?

    labvampire replied to kgard7777's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    You do not have to like the statement, but it speaks the truth. We were treated as lower class citizens, an after thought. Not only by the RN students, the faculty. They had one clinical day, we...

  6. Any Lpn's that would never become a RN?

    labvampire replied to kgard7777's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I used to think that I have to achieve my RN. I am not so sure now. I work in the Emergency Room at my hospital, one of the very few that allow us. I am my RN's right arm. I do everything but push...

  7. Grrrr....comments made by a care-aid...

    labvampire replied to OgopogoLPN's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    The CNA's used to be called LPN's a long time ago, I had to correct my own mother on me actually being a nurse. However, in my pediatric clinicals last summer, I had a CNA that young enough to be my...

  8. Hesi Exit Exam

    labvampire replied to yippit's topic in HESI Entrance, Exit Exam

    Good Luck!! The Hesi was more difficult than the state exam, at least for Illinois. I don't know if they differ from state to state. However on the first Hesi I got a 630, second Hesi I got 25 pts...

  9. Does Blood Make You Sick?

    labvampire replied to Miss Kitty00's topic in Oklahoma Nursing

    Mucous makes me vomit. I don't mind urine, vomit, feces, just mucous. Blood, dismembered body parts, no prob. Go

  10. Some nurses make you sick!!!

    labvampire replied to gt4everpn's topic in General Nursing

    I myself am 40 and have been practicing for 4 months. I work in an ER and also a Nursing home. The nursing home trained me for two days and then cut me loose with a wing of four halls to take care...

  11. What do you think about people calling you "honey"?

    labvampire replied to Hellllllo Nurse's topic in General Nursing

    i have that habit of honey and sweetie and in nursing school we were taught not to do that. i work in the er and when someone comes in who is in pain, sick, or injured, it's natural for a woman's...

  12. Calling yourself a "nurse"

    labvampire replied to Jamie2887's topic in General Nursing

    Kylee 45, you will make it!!! I did and just got pinned last Friday!! It's hell, alot of work, study and sacrifice. But if you love it like I did, you will do well. I'm 39 with two kids and a...

  13. Calling yourself a "nurse"

    labvampire replied to Jamie2887's topic in General Nursing

    I just graduated myself as a Practical Nurse. Until I do get to take the state testing, I always put license pending, but I am working and training side by side with an RN. I have only scratched the...

  14. Do nurses only "eat their young" in certain departments?

    labvampire replied to HeartsOpenWide's topic in General Nursing

    I am a student nurse also....I have been the appetizer, main course and dessert. I found out that if you are confident about yourself and don't back down, they will change their attitudes quickly....

  15. Share your 1st week of LPN school experience

    labvampire replied to maddiesmommy's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Hi, I am half way through the LPN Program at ICC in Illinois. The first month didn't phase me, I have been waiting for this and worked in health care for 8 yrs and I was so ready it's not funny....
