   margiesan replied to rastanursern's topic in New York

   On one of the threads here regarding Helene Fuld, I've read that some exceptions have been made regarding LPN working experience (some is better than none) - why don't you just schedule an appointment with a councelor there and see if you can be admi...

2. Best Way to Apply for Jobs?

   margiesan replied to 1lollipop's topic in New York

   There's no strategy. Just apply apply apply. There's lots of jobs posted online, grab the local papers and the ones with just ads on them, google all the types of facilities (nursing homes, assisted living, etc) you'd like to work in around your area...

   margiesan replied to sayoppi's topic in New York

   The uniform store Minnielynn was talking about is B&R Uniforms and they moved. It's now on 2nd Ave between 24th and 25th st. I think they're the only scrub shop in the city, if you can believe it. New York city and ONE scrub shop!

   margiesan replied to margiesan's topic in New Nurse

   Also, Like you said, VIVABONITA, I give out the meds/tx. I actually have a med aid to help me. Can you talk more about your experiences as a new nurse in LTC? I've never been in a supervisor position before, so I'm just a little nervous about that. A...

5. Just graduated and now Charge with 60 pts!

   margiesan replied to margiesan's topic in New Nurse

   Oh no, I'm not supervising the other nurses! lol I guess I'm only "charge nurse" in my unit. My preceptor repeatedly said to me that I should never hesitate to call for help or assistance from the other nurses. I guess I'm the "warm body" that they n...

6. Just graduated and now Charge with 60 pts!

   margiesan posted a topic in New Nurse

   I'm a recent grad and got my LVN license a month ago and I finally got a job at this nursing home. I'm training to be the charge nurse in a unit with 60 pts(!). That's seems like a bit much to me, but that's ok - I'm up for a challenge. At least my c...

   margiesan replied to scorpionese25's topic in NCLEX

   How are you studying? Test taking anxieties? I found that reviewing test taking skills really helped and remember the fundamentals (like ABCs, Mazlow's Heirarchy of Needs, etc). Take 2-3 review books and read up on the test taking strategies (they're...

   Thank You so much determined1! That's really helpful. I would have considered Excelsior but there seems to be some problems if you want to work in California. I'm going to NY now, but I'm going to CA someday.

   Determined and Rosienurse, thank you for posting. I have some questions. What is the passing grade? Do you have to be on or above the passing grade throughout the semester or do they evaluate your grade at the end of the semester? For example, if you...

10. Wondering why you can't get hired or promoted? Resume + Interview hints!

    margiesan replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Job Hunt

    If you have a degree in another industry can you put that on your title? For example, I have a Bachelor of Arts (in film studies) and I just received my LVN license, can I put My Name, LVN., BA. on my resume?

12. Hospitals that reimburse tuition

    margiesan replied to Jennyfur1234's topic in New York

    I just posted a topic about this and then I see this topic! I just graduated LVN school and will take my boards soon. I'm in Dallas, TX right now but I plan to move to Manhattan within the year. I'm basically in the same boat as Willeford because I w...

    Heh, that's funny. I'm pretty good at the "yes, m'am" reply and have put it to good use with my lvn instructors. It's so funny how hard it is for some students to make the connection that constantly challenging the almighty instructor is only gonna p...
