  1. Thanks. It wasn't easy, but I think I had it a lot easier than those who have kids and a husband at home. I would like to find the person who believes that a mother/father, who doesn't work outside the home, doesn't work. What a load of poop! And...
  2. I am an older single mom with kids who are grown and on their own. Working, even part time while you are in nursing school, is a challenge. Many people are lucky enough to be able to quit thier jobs and just be a student (as if that is not enough t...
  3. Things Patients Have Taught Me NOT To Do

    Please be aware that yelling at me will get you no where. My most recent answer to a woman who came to the ER with a splinter less than 1/4 inch long in her finger for two days with minor swelling and redness who yelled at me three times in 20 minut...
  4. Took the NCLEX today

    Mine stopped at the minimum when I took my LPN boards and I figured I failed and I passed. I just recently took my RN boards and had to answer over 140 before the computer shut off. Again I figured I failed, but I passed. Between the two, I think ...
  5. I Passed

    You are awesome, not just for passing, but for your tenacity! Congratulations. Be proud of yourself and know that there are others who are proud of you as well.

  8. zero support for new nurse

    I don't know what kind of facility you work in, but our orientation at the hospital I work at is any where from 16 weeks to 6 months (longer if you need it). Don't think you have to put what you have worked long and hard for on the line because some...
  9. I Did It!

    Thanks. Having kids wasn't this hard.
  10. I Did It!

    Thank you soooo much. I was beginning to wonder if I would ever get done.
  11. when did u graduate? take boards?

    I graduated in Dec '07 as well. We were given the option of taking the Kaplan review, which I did, but I tested Jan, 28th and passed. Unfortunately, I had to wait 2 days for the results to post so I could know that I passed. I am surprised that yo...
  12. I Did It!

    Oh my God! It took two days of tears, depression, and fear:idea: before my results were finally posted on line with the AZBN. And when it finally posted, I wasn't anywhere near a computer. Thank God for friends who called to congratulate. That m...
  13. LPN Duties in AZ

    I tested out of my RN program after the first two blocks so that I would be able to work as an LPN for the last two blocks. I worked in the ER at one of the hospitals here in Tucson. Predominately, I was allowed to operate and function in one of tw...
  14. I didn't go through an LPN program but did test out after the second block of the RN program so that I could work as an LPN during the last two blocks. I think it is a great idea and wonder why more people don't go that route. You get more of an op...
  15. Just took the HESI NCLEX-RN class and....

    I just passed my NCLEX, (an evil test I might add) and the only part that we were required to do for our classes through MCC was the HESI tests at the end of blocks 2 & 4. I also attended the Kaplan review. From the sounds of it, the Kaplan mus...
