  1. LTC med nurses-Are you obeying all of the rules?

    Anne36 replied to Blackcat99's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I know we were taught to do that in clinical but we were taught a lot of things in clinical that are not time effective. If we have 20-30 clients to pass meds on how would you be able to check the exp...

    Anne36 posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    Okay, Im freaking out a little because every person I talked to that has been in my class has told me that they have gotten almost no orientation at all. I just interviewed at a place that promised me...

  3. Dear God, Help me

    Anne36 replied to artsmom's topic in Geriatric, LTC

  5. What should I bring with me on my first day in LTC?

    Anne36 replied to Mrsearly2009's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I forgot to add, we were also told to leave our cell phones in the car, they are not allowed on us or even in our lockers. Im not attached to my phone by any means, but how common is this because I...

  9. Help!! Can't find an Lpn job in MI

    Anne36 replied to shannonjoelle's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I just got my License and am looking for work right now too. Everyone I have talked to about job searching says it is best to walk in and hand in your resume. This is what I did at 2 places last week...

  10. Drug cards

    Anne36 replied to Jazziepants's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    You should get some girls together and work in a group, make copies and share the info. When I was in clinical we would trade drug cards sometimes as we rotated

  11. Why is is there not a NCLEX PN Section?

    Anne36 replied to proudauntie415's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I noticed that too when I was studying for my exam. I just went through the forum until I found posts about LPN. What Silverdragon said is true, I did use the NCLEX RN material to study as well. Much...

  13. Encouragement Needed...Taking Nclex Pn Sept

  14. "Disability". Not going to make it in LPN school?

    Anne36 replied to LPN_2_B_9311's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Im not sure if this would be a problem but the only way I can see a disability as leaving you unqualified is if you cannot do your clinical rotations. I do know a student who was barred from clinical...

  15. This IS nursing school!

    Anne36 replied to I♥Scrubs's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    10 months is a very fast program. A&P was a pre-req for our program which was 16 months long. When I was in school I did my fair share of venting about the amount of school work, but I made it...

  16. How scary does this sound to you? Or am I the only one -

    Anne36 replied to njgrl622's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I agree, it does sound dangerous. Is this going to be your first job? How many patients did you get up to in clinical? The most I ever had was 4 and that only happened twice. I told the DON that...

  17. How scary does this sound to you? Or am I the only one -

    Anne36 replied to njgrl622's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Hi, Im brand new (LPN) and looking for my first job. I have an offer pending now, just waiting for a phone call. That does sound questionable. Why is extended care so short staffed? In my area, all of...

    Anne36 replied to Vicky Laursen's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

  21. Disgusted - wipes for bathing

    Anne36 replied to beeker's topic in General Nursing

    To the Orignal poster, I couldnt agree more. I will even go further and have said that bed baths with a basin are not even enough to keep a patient clean enough to smell fresh long term. There is no...

  22. Why are nursing instructors so intimidating?

    Anne36 replied to beeenieweeenie, RN's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Reflecting back on my clinical experience I was fortunate. Most of my instructors were wonderful. I had a couple that were intimidating, but overall they were focused on teaching and wanted us to get...

  23. what do i say

    Anne36 replied to rvd4now's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    How long have you been in your nursing program? Im sorry but your wife is very disrespectful toward you. I have not seen many RNs with such a negative view of LPNs. I do get a lot of "go back for your...
