  1. Waiting on ATT letter...

    eldragon replied to Aedana's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I graduated 12/13 and still no ATT letter. I sent my instructor an email today, thinking perhaps that my application fell into the garbage or something, but haven't heard anything. So much for the...

  2. Come in here if you are taking the boards this week!! Feb 11-15

    eldragon replied to ava'smomRN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    That is, of course, up to you. You did complete a program, however, and I'll bet you have alot of knowledge from that. You have 30 days from

  3. Waiting to take NCLEX

    eldragon replied to reeser's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    TinaColada! Congratulations! Oh, to be sitting where you are right now!

  4. Come in here if you are taking the boards this week!! Feb 11-15

    eldragon replied to ava'smomRN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I graduated in December and haven't received my ATT yet. I had hoped to test in January, but it's unlikely. I've been studying everyday for the NCLEX. I use the Rinehart review and also attended...

  5. Waiting to take NCLEX

    eldragon replied to reeser's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Tina - relax! You probably passed, and there is nothing you can do now anyway. I personally do not think 20 choose all that apply questions is reasonable, but who is asking me to decide? Again,...

  6. Waiting to take NCLEX

    eldragon replied to reeser's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    tinacolada305 - please let us know the minute you find out how you did. 20 select all that apply? Really? How many pharm questions? I do really well with Saunders, so it figures the questions are...

  7. Waiting to take NCLEX

    eldragon replied to reeser's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I'm in the same boat as many of you, I just graduated in December from an LPN program and I am waiting for the letter that says I can test with NCLEX. Meanwhile, I'm trying to study for it and...

  8. How is it like to be an RN in Vegas?

    eldragon replied to dhel28's topic in Nevada Nursing

    I lived in Vegas for 12 years, but was not a nurse then. We moved to Mississippi, and have lived here for about 8 years, and I hate it. We just returned from a Vegas trip last week. I saw some of...

  9. Did anyone hate nursing school?

    eldragon replied to FNPhopeful's topic in First Year After Licensure

    The instructor I am referring to was teaching for the first time. And she had no skills. Everyone complained. In writing. It was useless. They shipped her to another campus, and after one block...

  10. Did anyone hate nursing school?

    eldragon replied to FNPhopeful's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I understand completely. I am 44 years old and just graduated from a nursing program. My instructors were 45 and 42 years old. The younger one, especially, was a nightmare. She made it a personal...

  11. Stand up if you're not in it for the money!

    eldragon posted a topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    At 43, I'm a nursing student. Why am I doing this? It's because I have volunteered at a nursing home for two years, not including all the years as a child I visited a nursing home across the street...

  13. HESI Exam

    eldragon replied to SNKristen's topic in General Students

    I just took the Hesi today, too. I made an even 800, and I was upset about it. I feel fairly confident in my studying for the NCLEX, and this really threw me for a loop. (Our teacher has told us...

  14. Stand up if you're not in it for the money!

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

    I just read this old thread that I started last January. That student I was talking about? She failed after the second block, but she's still working as a CNA. I'm going to graduate with my LPN next...

  15. Know it all classmates

    eldragon replied to FNPhopeful's topic in General Students

    I had that problem the first clinical day, also, as I had never worked in the healthcare field at all. I was paired with a fellow student who worked as a CNA and when we went to change an incontinent...

  16. A doctor asking you to give him a cup of coffee!!

    eldragon replied to Shantas's topic in General Nursing

    I'd just bring him a cup of coffee and let it go. There are probably several factors that add to his behavior, including the fact that he's a doctor and think nurses are beneath him, and perhaps he's...

  17. Sleep Deprivation & Clinical

    eldragon replied to wannabesedated's topic in General Students

    Good thinking about the leftovers. I've never had to eat at this particular place, but I'm sure there is a refrigerator and microwave there. I bought some of those tuna/crackers kits, and will bring...

  18. Sleep Deprivation & Clinical

    eldragon replied to wannabesedated's topic in General Students

    Our clinicals are 12-hours. That doesn't include travel time, of course. Tomorrow I start my preceptorship (only four to do, and a few tests and I'm out!) and I am fairly nervous. I'll be working 7...

  19. My first job

    eldragon replied to jean333's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I'm in my last week of an LPN program, will graduate in two weeks and take my NCLEX in January, hopefully. We had a venipuncture check-off in lab and one clinical day in an outpatient lab at a...

  20. My first job

    eldragon replied to jean333's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Congratulations on your first job! I'm wondering, how come you weren't taught how to do venipuncture in

  21. LPN school and all the drama that comes with it!!(vent)

    eldragon replied to flower2007's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Oh, I'm so jealous of you. My instructor has said we all have to attend graduation, or I'd miss it, too. When I entered an LPN program, I had high hopes for making friends. I had moved to a new...

    eldragon replied to flower2007's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Hang in there and study. Don't worry, their little gossip group will break up soon, as they start to fail - one by one. Trust me on that

  23. On the verge of Failing

    eldragon replied to PurrRN's topic in General Students

    First, have you checked local shelters? Posted flyers with a picture? Placed an ad in the local papers? I lost my German Shepherd two years ago. We got her as a pup and had her 7 years. One day she...

  24. New Grad LPN pay!

    eldragon replied to nursemidestiny's topic in General Nursing

    A nurse recruiter from the Biloxi, MS., VA hospital came to our campus yesterday to talk to us about LPN jobs at the VA. (Long term care, clinics and telemetry, mostly). The starting pay for LPN's is...

  25. Did anyone hate nursing school?

    eldragon replied to FNPhopeful's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I think this thread is hilarious! I, too, hate nursing school! It's almost over, thank God! And those of you who think nursing school was wonderful, must be in a different
