LVN here, but have already made mistakes and feel awful , I wish I could shake this 'beating myself up' but it always lasts a few days. My main error was an insulin error believe it or not, though what happened was the pts sugar was so high it didnt ...

Just curious if any of your schools offered this? It is super pricey .. anywhere from $800-1400 and Im wondering if I really need this or not. This is for my LVN. what are all of your thoughts on this? I dont want to end up wasting all of that money....

sorry, I dont come onto this site very much .. slow to respond. The boards doesnt have a pass rate because we are the first batch to grad. since Concord campus is new. From what I know so far .. we have a HIGH percentage who passes boards compared to...

Any of you in CA awaiting your LVN NCLEX results? Maybe we can pass the time quicker w stories and our NCLEX experience? I also heard that we have to pay another $120 once we get our letter in the mail stating if we passed, $120 for the actual licens...

go with the old saying 'never depend on anyone else but yourself' and watch your back ... only you are the most responsible for your actions, so pay the extra few bucks a year to have your own insurance. Mine I think was only something like 38 bucks ...

I know how you feel .. Ive made a huge mistake at my job, I felt HORRIBLE for days and days ...but know that it will pass in time and bottom line is you learned from it. Im a perfectionist, so for me to even make a mistake made me feel even worse, bu...

Hope this doesnt sound weird, but can you tell me exactly the day to day of your job as a scrub nurse? right now Im LVN in SNF, my long term goal is cosmetic/plastic and the other day I was looking at jobs and seen they were hiring a RN for OR and sa...

wow thats odd. did you try craigslist.org? Try there... I seen jobs there some encourage new grads. what about your clinical sites where you did your clinical rounds? Thats where Im working now .. literally passed boards, drove up on a monday to get ...

Start for me SNF $25/hr. And even though I have been in health care 5 yr. Im "new" So this is new grad. rate.. but this is also where i did my clinical rounds through school and they were calling me to offer me the job and of course I accepted.. when...

No worries! Everyone feels some sort of anxiety.. I passed with 86? weird number and drove to Sac to get temp license and have been working now almost a week ... Have faith, try to pass the time with positive things.. like a walk, picnic, bike ride o...

Hi all! How is evryone doing? Hows NCLEX coming along? Anyway last night was my first night on the floor by myself, though my class mate aloso applied there we had the cart together, and man oh man what a mess! Im already feeling like I wanna cry. Th...

Yes I agree sometimes when they do poop-yay! when they dont then get prepared to maybe do a fecal impaction and put in a suppository ... and also another thing that is sometimes hard is when they have a colostomy, but just learn to not breath in w ou...

My advice is really, the studying is the most difficult, just stay disciplined... !! Set whaTEVEamount you need.. 3 weeks, 4 weeks, etc. and literally act like you are your own DRILL SARGENT! All of us have it in us!!!! It is the worst part and once ...

you cannot memorize drugs!!! you have to take about 5 a day and go over them consistently.. first you need to know what the drug is USED for. and hit the most life threatening s/e. First go in a category like cardio. try doing beta blockers, ACE, etc...

Nursing salaries are all different. there is no set rate, really.. only ballparks. If I were you I would check out salary.com or Im sure there is a thread specifically geared towards your question.

Even family has judged me! Having very little excitement for my LVN and when I mention RN they sound much happier. Im at my wits end.. because I have done it all on my own .. no husband, no family.. being a single mom. my husband passed away in 97 an...
