    luvschoolnursing replied to AlwaysTired's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    20 years ago. took the test the "Old way" with paper and pencil. didn't study and did better than my friend who studied night and day-she hated me for it. (that was back when you got an actual score)...

    getting sick of it.

    luvschoolnursing replied to Buckyxj's topic in Men in Nursing

    Because Nursing and medicine are two entirely different careers, THAT'S WHY. You chose nursing, not because it was a "lesser" career, because it was your

    should I wait until 6 mo. eval. to change jobs?

    luvschoolnursing replied to beachgirl01's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I don't think it would look bad, but I always think you need at least 6 mos. to know if you really hate a job or are just having trouble to adjusting to something new. Either way, good

    Pregnant New Grad needs advice

    luvschoolnursing replied to newmomRN's topic in General Nursing

    Could you get a little orientation in before the babe and then go back afterwards casual pool 1-2 days/week? That way yuo'd make a little money and keep your foot in the door. Would that be enough...

    HELP!! Which math is best?

    luvschoolnursing replied to curlysue82's topic in Texas Nursing

    The BSN program I took required statistics. No need for other math. So many people failed statistics, the year after, they made college algebra a pre-req, so you might as well take it and get it over...

    Floor nursing while pregnant

    luvschoolnursing replied to medsurgnights's topic in General Nursing

    I worked till due date with the 1st but was miserable. Worked to 7 mos. with the 2nd. Of course, I was still miserable-hated pregnancy- but at least I was miserable at

    My school Sucks!

    luvschoolnursing replied to MedicGA's topic in General Nursing

    thanks RNsRWe and Angel75. "back in the day" (I graaduated in 1986) there was no such test that I'm aware of. Sounds like a pain. To the OP-just be glad you passed the 1st time and do't have the...

    Need your opinion

    luvschoolnursing replied to Keepstanding's topic in School

    Praiser, Glad to hear that I'm not the only one. One thing I try to remember (and not always successfully) is that no matter how irritated I get with the teacher side of my job, I do make a difference...

    Best to start at elementary,middle or high school?

    luvschoolnursing replied to texas121's topic in School

    Go with the age group you like best. Believe me, you will have a LOT to learn about them regardless. As far as fakers, the little ones can be very manipulative, in some ways more than high schoolers....

    luvschoolnursing replied to Keepstanding's topic in School

    One problem I have had is if I don not send kids home (elementary) the teacher calls from the classroom and has them sent home-why bother to ask my opinion in the 1st

    Is this career right for me? Sharing some thoughts!

    luvschoolnursing replied to EnduringFaith's topic in General Nursing

    I kinda like the J&J commerials. I hung a couple of their posters in my health office. I hated nursing after what seemed like a million years of med-surg, but after I found my own niche, I love my...

    Any School Nurses?

    luvschoolnursing replied to Tooka's topic in General Nursing

    One of my favorite "fakers" was the 4th grader came in c/o "a really bad bloody nose" He had colored his nose and the tissue with red marker. How he even got the teacher to let him out of class with...

    nurses are vastly underpaid and vastly unappreciated!

    She sees her truth through a much different lens than I do. Not to mention that she chooses to attack anyone that does not share her

    Any School Nurses?

    luvschoolnursing replied to Tooka's topic in General Nursing

    Once you do it for awhile, you know who the frequent fliers are. Often they are the kids that just need a break from class and come down and talk to you. If I have a real chronic complainer that...

    Worse Situation

    All schools have a written disaster plan in place. Of course, the school nurse would only be one part of the plan. Local EMS and authorities work closely with the schools writing the plan. When the...

    Have you ever seen an RN work 4-hour shifts?

    luvschoolnursing replied to mikethern's topic in Operating Room

    When I worked casual pool when my kids were little, I worked 6-11:30PM because that's what worked for my family. Not OR, though, med-surg. If your hospital is short staffed, they will let you work all...

    Career switching advice

    luvschoolnursing replied to Spartan05's topic in General Nursing

    I worked med-surg and all the various units you go to with prn while my kids were little because of the flexibility of the shifts. I now work in school nursing. Regular shifts, summers off, less money...

    Career switching advice

    luvschoolnursing replied to Spartan05's topic in General Nursing

    No, you never really know, but one thing in nursing is you have so many opportunities to work in different areas using the same degree. After getting into nsg. you will hopefully find your niche. Good...

    LVN-RN or LVN-BSN

    luvschoolnursing replied to Pretty in Ink's topic in General Nursing

    My opinion is if you have the time and money, continue on for your BSN when you finish your LVN. You'll already be a nurse with your LVN and if you choose to work, getting valuable experience. I got...
