I'm relatively new to HH as an RN, but I love it. I feel like I get paid ok money per visit, and if I add the time that I spend doing charting to the time that I spend with the patient, it still...

Our charting is all electronic, but it still takes forever to get it all done. We have IPads that we're supposed to use at each visit for charting, but aside from charting the vitals, forget it. I...

I started my RN pre-reqs right after finishing LVN school. The LVN school I attended didn't require any pre-reqs as they were all "built into" the program. I did very well in LVN school and worked as...
I live in SoCal and have worked for Maxim for the past year and a half. I know that each office is different, and I have no experience with any except the one I work for. My experience has been...
It's very possible that you could successfully complete this semester, especially if your instructors are willing to work with you. My experience is that every pregnancy and delivery is different....
It will be interesting to see what all of us have to say a week or two after our programs start. This might sound odd, but it's a little calming to know that I'm not the only one feeling the way I...

I've been at my current LVN job for about a year and a half. They are very supportive of me as I continue my education to become an RN. I asked them recently if there would be a place for me with...
I start on August 16th, and I'm nervous and excited. I'm more nervous since last week when I met someone in my CPR class who is a former nursing student at the school I'll be attending. She asked to...
I finished my pre-reqs in May, applied for the programin early June, took the TEAS the following week, and was notified in late June that I was accepted for the term beginning in August. I applied...
Since the time is going to pass anyway, I think it's a good idea to get your pre-reqs out of the way while working and gaining experience as an LVN. I did just that, finishing my pre-reqs in May. I...

When you work in LTC as an LVN (at least, in my experience), there is an RN on duty also. You can always go to the RN for help, or to ask questions. My first job was in LTC, and while I didn't like...
I think it's great that you know what you want to do at such a young age. I agree with the previous poster that you should get the general education classes out of the way (a good idea no matter what...
Thank you for starting this thread, ZiggysGal. I've been worrying over the idea of being part of a study group, too. I do much better on my own, but my school strongly recommends that we each be...
I'm an LVN who, if all continues according to plan, will become an RN shortly after my 56th birthday. I'm thinking that, God willing, I should be able to work until age 70 or
I was unable to obtain a conventional loan, so the school offered me their loan, which had to be paid back in full prior to graduation and eligibility for the NCLEX. I attended the LA campus, on...
