I like Redding Medical. Fast shipping. www.reddingmedical.com

I like the Grey's Anatomy scrubs. But to address the see-thru problem, I wear beige under garments. Although some nurses like their garments to be seen.

Best Wishes to all who are getting ready to take boards. I took mine for the first time 7/2/09. My husband drove me to Morgantown, WV to the Pearson center. We got there about an 1.5 hr early so I went in to make sure I was at the right place. The lady told me I could take my test early. So I did. After about question 58 my mind started to wonder so I decided to take a break. I came back and after each question I answered I looked at the number thinking to myself when is it going to end. I answered question 92 and my screen went blank. I wanted to keep going because I didn't feel I had done well. I immediatly became nauseated, my heart sunk. I knew I had blown it. I had to go to the BR. My stomach began to do flip flops and back flips. I had to vomit. After about 10 min in the BR, I came back and did the exit survey. The nice ladies walked me out and told me good luck. The ride home was horrible. We had to stop many time because I was so sick. I kept thinking, what was I going to tell my friends and work? My husband told me not to worry- its just a test- I can re-take it if I need to. Don't worry:angryfire..... 3.5 years of my life depended on this test.... I won't worry. When we got home I looked up some of the questions I wasn't sure about. Sure enough, I didn't answer them right. More reason to fail. I looked on the SB site expecting to see a big FAIL beside my name. OMG!!!!!!!!!!! I have an active license. My status has been changed from temp to permanent. My heart began to do the jig. I wanted to scream but nothing came out. Of course my husband is at work and I can't tell him that I don't have to worry!!! Wow, I passed. Seems like it is happening to someone else and I am watching it. Think positive. Go into the BR before your test, look into the mirror and tell yourself "I am going to pass this test. I am!!! " Good luck everyone, you will pass this test.

thanks for the website. i didn't know that existed. i am looking for info on rple hopefully they will have some.

Hi, My name is Teresa. I am 29 yo. I have been an LPN x12yrs. I currently work at the Veteran's Affairs Medical Center in my area. I love the vets :redbeathe. I am enrolled in Mountain State University in the LPN-BSN program. They give you credit for being an LPN. This was the only program around that did this. I went 1 noc a week for the firts 1.5 yrs and now I go 2 nocs a week. One for class and the other for clinical. My experience at this particular university has not been good. I am a very organized, on time, matter of fact kind of person. They are the total opposite. But I am most happy to say I have 300 days left. I will stay at the VA b/c I have so many years in now. And the VA is good to work for. I love what I do and the people I take care of. Good luck to all of the nurses getting ready to take boards and good luck to all the nurses in school.

Hello to all the great nurses : I am in a LPN-BSN program. I have 300 days left I am in a legal issues & trends class now. I have to write two 10 page papers on one legal and one ethical issue but the two have to be related. My idea is a person is brought into the ER with suicide attempt and has AD's with DNR. What do you do? I think he is a DNR and do nothing but other nurse's and MD's I have talked to want to treat him b/c of suicide. This actually happened where I work. They treated the man but unfortunately he did not live. I appreciate all input.

Please send a copy of the NANDA diagnosis. I am enrolled in a LPN-BSN program and need these for class. I can not find them online anywhere. I have checked NANDA's site. Thank you:balloons:
