  7. Sitting for RN Monday

    michelle95 replied to michelle95's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Oh, I forgot to add some of what I had (for others). About 6+ pick all that apply (I HATE those). Quite a few priority, who-would-you-assess-first type dealies. A couple of emergency questions. About...

  8. Sitting for RN Monday

    michelle95 replied to michelle95's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I had 75 questions. I don't think I bombed it but it sure was tough. I don't remember any test in nursing school being that hard. We'll find out Wednesday or Thursday. Florida has a website that...

  11. Sitting for RN Monday

    michelle95 replied to michelle95's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I guess I should clarify that most of the questions I do ok on. What I am worried about is that the areas that I am not strong in, and averaging 60% right, will bog me down on

  12. How many pts do you care for each day?

    michelle95 replied to luckymichelle's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I just left a place that as an LPN, I had 20+ subacute patients. That is crazy. Other facilities that I have worked in (subacute) you never had more than 15 and most of the time 12-13. Needless to...

  13. Unsafe staffing

    michelle95 replied to dinkymouse's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I am convinced that most places don't care about nurses. They just want a "warm" body to fill a slot. I just started a new job working on a subacute. Apparently, the average load is 25 patients....

  14. Advice for new student (Psych vs. DD)

    michelle95 replied to Frosty's topic in Developmental Disabilities

    I just spent a year and a half working at a DD facility. Very rewarding. Unfortunately, there are no places like that to work where I moved to. Anyway, if most DD facilities are like mine then I...

  15. No Overtime Pay after Forty Hours

    michelle95 replied to Town & Country's topic in General Nursing

    The law is supposed to apply to salaried nurses...which anyone taking a salary knows they aren't getting overtime anyway. The only problem I see is for nurses that have to work mandatory overtime....

  16. How long does it take ???

    michelle95 replied to moliuchick's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I know in Florida it takes 2-3 days before your license number shows up. So, don't stress yet!

  17. LPN/LVN rate of pay in your area.

    michelle95 replied to Couture_Honey's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I don't know about Wisconsin but I just got some quotes from Bradenton, FL if anyone is interested. One assisted living 12-15/hr. One nsg home 16/hr for new grads. My six years got me 17/hr. Another...

  18. Anyone recently taken the NCLEX??

    michelle95 replied to luv4nursing's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Did the number of minimum questions change for NCLEX-PN? It used to be 85 not 75. 75 is the minimum for the NCLEX-RN. Just

  19. To other LPN's that went through RN school

    michelle95 posted a topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I have some issues. I just completed the ADN program (waiting to take boards) and I'm kind of confused. I knew that RN school was going to be different than LPN school because I have prior "nursing"...

  20. To other LPN's that went through RN school

    michelle95 replied to michelle95's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    This is the ONLY positive outcome of having LPNs bridge into an RN program. In my class, I had a couple of the "generic" RN students tell me how intimidated they were by us (LPNs) because we knew our...

  21. To other LPN's that went through RN school

    michelle95 replied to michelle95's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Thanks. And, you're right. I will probably feel differently when I assume the RN role. One of my biggest motivators for finishing RN school was for the different opportunities open to me. However,...

    Since we are talking of autism a lot in this forum, I wanted to ask some of you if you have heard and/or used

  23. Pfeiffer Treatment Center

    michelle95 replied to michelle95's topic in Developmental Disabilities

    http://www.hriptc.org/ I'm not sure what I think about them, but I've thought about trying them. They are a qroup that tests children (and adults) for biochemical imbalances and heavy metal...

  24. Autism, mercury and cover up???

    michelle95 replied to LydiaNN's topic in Developmental Disabilities

    Thanks for the tip on Mg, Barb. No, we have not tried chelation therapy yet. I am almost (a week) done with RN school. Everything has been on hold since Jan 2004 because of that. We will be moving...

  25. Autism, mercury and cover up???

    michelle95 replied to LydiaNN's topic in Developmental Disabilities

    I forgot to add that I don't think it is just thimerasol....but also the chemicals in our foods (fertilizers, antibiotics, hormones, additives, preservatives). They have GOT to be doing something....
