    For your first year, I would go for experience as well. The salaries in Florida are painfully low. I came from New York to Florida and cannot believe the difference in salaries. and don't let...
  2. unrealistic family of dying resident

    I think a lot of the problem stems from the son being a cardiologist himself. They have this resolve that people cannot die. He is used to being in control of other lives, so he feels the need to...
  3. Does anyone like LTC?

    I started in LTC a LONG time ago (10 years, in fact) as a CNA in the grossest facility on the planet. One of the LPN's there told me I was "too smart" to be a CNA, and that I should think about...

  11. I graduated Dec./05, have not taken NCLEX-PN

    Emilie, Darling girl. I, too, lost a son. I know that it emcompasses every single thought you have every single day. My loss was in 1995. I went to nursing school in 1998, graduated in 99. I still...
  12. Posters that are not nurses

    Just another point of view here: I graduated the PN program back in 1999. I just took my NCLEX last week. An ugly divorce back in 99 prevented me from taking my boards. Before long, 8 years had...

  15. Why "failed" is the wrong word.

    You guys are terrific. Just never stop dreaming. Never get so discouraged that you give up your dreams, your goals and your desires. This includes ANY aspect of your lives...not just nursing. I...

    I found out I passed on Thursday of last week. Tremendous feeling, isn't it? Mind you, I graduated nursing school back in 1999!!! I was going through a real bitter divorce and the boards had to get...
  17. LPN schools in Florida

    I went to the community college in my city. It was much cheaper than a private school and I was able to do my prereq's for the bridge program while I was there. Plus, I got my associates in science...
  18. What di I do, getting frustrated

    As a paralegal for a number of years before becoming a nurse, let me give you some unsolicited advice. You need to leave that job. If someone from JCAHO or OSHA or some other government service...
  19. LPN'S are NURSES TOO

    I think there is a tremendous ripple effect. NP's acting as though they are far above an RN, RN's chastising LPN's, LPN's looking down on Medical Assistants, MA's feeling superior to CNA's. And it...
  20. Why "failed" is the wrong word.

    Jayann - I am glad to hear it. don't let anything deter you or stop you from what you want the most in life. We only go around once. We have to make the best of the time we are given on this earth....
  21. Why "failed" is the wrong word.

    I hope so too. There are too many people walking around here or reading the boards all discouraged and hurt. I can't bear that...because everyone deserves to have their dream come true. I hate the...

  25. Pretty Sure i failed today :(

    I felt really good after taking the exam...pretty confident I passed. I think I wrote that in another thread somewhere. I just felt like it was a little TOO easy...and maybe it was because I was...
