  1. Tests don't match lecture, notes or review

    CseMgr1 replied to I_am_Julia's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  3. Just Plain Nasty Mean. What Would You Do?

    CseMgr1 replied to nurseaboveboard's topic in General Nursing

    I did just that a few years ago, when this one particular co-worker's ongoing nasty treatment of me turned to harassment. I got my supervisor behind closed doors and threatened to not only file a...

    CseMgr1 replied to AlwaysTired's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Thirty minutes?? How times have changed. I took both the LPN and RN Boards during the time which they were known as the National Test Pool Examinations. The LPN Board took an entire day, and the RN...

  8. Graduated from a vocational school?

    CseMgr1 replied to momma2twnz's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I graduated from the Practical Nursing program at a Vocational-Technical school back in 1972. Looking back, it was probably the best education I have ever received, for I don't think I would have ever...

  9. 1950s nursing

    CseMgr1 replied to colrainrn's topic in General Nursing

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

    CseMgr1 replied to Jo Dirt's topic in General Nursing

    Just tell them that you discovered that Home Health Nursing was not for you. There's nothing wrong with telling them that, which is the truth. And it isn't for everybody. During the 19 years I worked...

  12. How did you know "your calling"?

    CseMgr1 replied to goldie66's topic in General Nursing

    CseMgr1 replied to gettingupthere's topic in General Nursing

    Oh, yeah. I was 18 years old back in 1970, when I began training to be a nurses' aide in a large teaching hospital. My salary was $1.60/hr., and I got a 5 cents an hour raise after six months. I was...

  17. A&P what to review before class starts

    CseMgr1 replied to studentIVlife's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Believe it or not, one of the best reference books I have ever used was a copy of the original "Gray's Anatomy" by Henry Gray. My ex-husband bought it for me when I began taking my prereq's. Very...

  18. Cost of LVN/LPN schooling..

    CseMgr1 replied to HeartJulz's topic in LPN, LVN Students

  19. RNs: what did you do to study for boards?

    CseMgr1 replied to hollyberry678's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Nothing. I had done well on all the NLN exams I had taken throughout school, and felt I was prepared. Besides that, I couldn't even THINK about studying anymore. I had all but neglected my family...

    CseMgr1 replied to DutchgirlRN's topic in Home Health

    This is just a shame. Like you, I used to love Home Health Nursing: the autonomy, bonding with patients and their families and earning the trust of the medical community who at one time didn't want us...

  24. Agency can't bill Medicare...it's not my fault...right?

    CseMgr1 replied to DutchgirlRN's topic in Home Health
