  1. New student to attend lpn school!

    R0xyg4l replied to Ericad85's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I attended part time nursing school and worked part time as well. Luckily, at my workplace I was able to study and complete homework periodically. Though it seems like somehow it would be easier going...

  2. EC humanities requirement

    R0xyg4l replied to Hooked on ER's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I have the REA Humanities book and will be testing out of it in about two months or so. I have no clue what it's talking about but I figured I would learn for a fast 6 credits. At first after I had...

  3. Where do I start with EC?

    R0xyg4l posted a topic in Online Distance Learning

    I'm an LPN wanting to get my RN. I went to a school today in CT and was told the earliest I would be done with my RN there would be the end of the Summer of 2010. Plus I would have to rearrange my...

  4. Where do I start with EC?

    R0xyg4l replied to R0xyg4l's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Thank you, I contacted admissions so I will get that process going. I guess I need a detailed path of exactly what I need to do. They should provide that

  5. Conn Nurses Meet N Greet

    R0xyg4l replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    Hello! My name is Kristina and I'm an LPN. I graduated from Lincoln Tech in New Britain last year. Since then my life has been fabulous! I still want more, so I'm going back to Goodwin this Fall and...

  6. Where do I go from here with EC?

    R0xyg4l posted a topic in Online Distance Learning

    Ok, I finished my LPN license. Passed my NLCEX without too much trouble (though I swore I failed after it stopped at 85). I work in oncology/hematology and enjoy being a LPN but look forward to moving...

  7. Lpn

    R0xyg4l replied to BethT's topic in Online Distance Learning

    It's hard when you have to work as well. I found a part time evening nursing program that worked out really well for me and my family. I went to school three days a week in the evenings 5-10 pm. I...

  8. New to oncology! !

    R0xyg4l replied to David Offenbaker's topic in Oncology

    Good point Psalm! Be sure to have all of your chemo bags double checked and if you give chemo through IVs be extra cautious. If you do growth factor injections go incredibly slow, they can hurt

  9. New to oncology! !

    R0xyg4l replied to David Offenbaker's topic in Oncology

    I wish you the best of luck. When I first got my position in onc/hem I was told the patients were so great to work with and I guess I had a typical misconception that cancer is terminal and it must be...

  10. Help With Blood Draws

    R0xyg4l replied to EyesForward's topic in Oncology

    I'm a new nurse and certainly not a pro at drawing blood. I actually am probably more successful at starting IVs than drawing blood (I don't get it either!). A few things I've learned is that you're...

  11. Help With Blood Draws

    R0xyg4l replied to EyesForward's topic in Oncology

    Occasionally this happens to me. I'm not completely sure the etiology. Sometimes it is that the vein is blown and I've hit a dead end. But sometimes if I pull the needle out a little it will start...

  12. White scrub pants that you can't see through!

    R0xyg4l posted a topic in General Nursing

    Anyone know where I can get some that have flare leg? I seen that Jasco Uniforms has some with boot cut. I need some for nursing graduation... thank you in

  13. ASN vs. BSN & NCLEX-RN

    R0xyg4l posted a topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I have possibly a dumb question, but I'm going to ask anyways. :) I'm trying to decide between taking an LPN to ASN or BSN course. My husband and I are dicussing the pros and cons of ISU or EC. One...

  14. American Sr Communities... Brownsburg/Zionsville Meadows

    R0xyg4l posted a topic in Indiana Nursing

    I was just wondering if anyone worked there? I'm really interested in Brownsburg Meadows since I know it's a new community. I will be moving to Zionsville in December, but I would rather work at a...

  15. how much Indiana nurses make

    R0xyg4l replied to nurseluv9's topic in Indiana Nursing

    Is CMS a staffing agency? I just wonder if the work is full time and permanent, also about benefits... I will be moving to central Indy soon and I know the Plainfield, IN prison is hiring.

  16. Nursing Salary

    R0xyg4l replied to chrissyduke's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    I think a lot of agency require a certain time length before employment of experience. At least a lot of the ones I've contacted for LPNs. Maybe because RNs are in greater need they would be more...

  17. Advice about getting LPN in CT, PLEASE!!

    R0xyg4l replied to Lilorfnannie's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    Just to give you a heads up on how they did the entry for state tech schools (at least the way they did it in 2005)... you earned a certain amount of points on entrance exam and a certain amount of...

  18. UTI post cath. need opinions

    R0xyg4l replied to bisson's topic in General Nursing

    Some how maybe it would interfere with the immune system to allow bacteria to enter in or also possibly the bacteria is present but not yet there to a detectable symptomatic level. My two cents.

  19. New England Tech in Shelton

    R0xyg4l replied to misspriss077's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    I just wanted to lend my opinion on NETi or Lincoln Tech. I live all the way in Norwich and travel to New Britain area three days a week for evening classes (four days if you start anytime soon)......

  20. LPN's in CT Hospital

    R0xyg4l replied to mandykal's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    Rockville General in Rockville/Vernon, L&M in New London hires LPNs (can't remember if they will hire new LPNs), and there was another one someone recently mentioned in class that I will try to...

  21. Advice about getting LPN in CT, PLEASE!!

    R0xyg4l replied to Lilorfnannie's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    http://www.cttech.org/ is the link in case you wanted more info!

  22. Advice about getting LPN in CT, PLEASE!!

    R0xyg4l replied to Lilorfnannie's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    If you're going for your LPN I would highly suggest one of the states technical schools. A girl I knew that went to Norwich Tech said they started out with 42 students and ended up with 41 graduating....

  23. NCLEX pass rates for your school?

    R0xyg4l replied to Robin61970's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Lincoln Tech in CT is 100% passing rate. I think that could be because the program started out with 55+ students and we now have 15 remaining from our original

  24. Anyone attending Indiana State Univ...

    R0xyg4l replied to wefdm21's topic in LPN to RN

    I'm considering either EC or ISU. I will be living in Indiana upon the time of completion of the program and think it may look better as a known state college than EC. I really don't think I want to...

  25. I'm thinking about OB/GYN nursing...

    R0xyg4l posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    I've always wanted to be an OB/GYN nurse and possibly one day even become a CNM. However, I seem to struggle with maternity. I'm thinking maybe it's not my cup of tea even though I absolutely loved my...
