    *Scrubs* posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    having an average in school over 90%. I am curious... I don't want to be one of those book smart people who blow the 'big' test. Do the schools really prepare you for the NCLEX or is that something...

  2. LTC Newbie...scared!

    *Scrubs* posted a topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I have no LTC experience and have recently begun training for my shift. I am by no means afraid of working hard, but what I have seen so far has me worried. Is it normal for a morning Med pass to...

  3. LTC newbie.. CNA's hate me! help!

    *Scrubs* replied to wannabenars's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Whether they NEED the help or not...do something little to help pitch in. No one likes the nurse who is too 'good' to do CNA work. If you show them respect and establish a firm but understanding type...

  4. NCLEX-PN...How long did you wait to test?

    *Scrubs* posted a topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I know it depends on the person but who has taken it and feels they wasted time or didn't give themselves enough time? I don't want to wait too long as they say the longer you wait the worse you do...

  5. Is the salary of an LPN even Worth the trouble of going to school??

    *Scrubs* replied to Tony1790's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    *Scrubs* replied to DarkOrchid's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    The sad part is, this is how life is. When you get out into the work field you are going to have this problem. There is a pecking order (so to speak) no matter where you go. It is up to you to rise...

  9. what have i gotten into?

    *Scrubs* replied to Tirheu's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    It takes special people to work in LTC, no doubt about it. What has helped me deal with the depressing parts is dedicate myself to making a small difference in the lives of the residents I meet. It...

  10. What would you do?

    *Scrubs* posted a topic in LPN, LVN Students

    *Scrubs* posted a topic in LPN, LVN Students

  12. What would you do?

    *Scrubs* replied to *Scrubs*'s topic in LPN, LVN Students

    My gut tells me to call the state and let them conduct a surprise visit! What I would like to see happen is the place to become somewhat civilized... Sadly, I cannot do anything to ruin my career, so...

    *Scrubs* replied to picurn10's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I would not like tan either- not very nurse like....BUT! You totally have the advantage against stains. I hate the fact that my [white] uniform will eventually get dingy and riddled with

  15. What would you do?

    *Scrubs* replied to *Scrubs*'s topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I guess my problem is, I am no newbie to LTC and the crap I saw was down-right barbaric. I kept my post brief, but there were many more incidents - including naked residents with doors wide...

    *Scrubs* replied to bthsp's topic in LPN, LVN Students

  20. Is it going to get harder than this

    *Scrubs* posted a topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I finally got the math part down, and am happy because it is not my strong suit. We use the formula: 15g : X :: 30mcg : 5 ml (I am making up numbers- they may not compute) I have really gotten good...

    *Scrubs* replied to HartfordSPN's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    It is time consuming but I would not consider it insanely difficult. Do you have any medical background? If so- some of it will be easy. Did you like science or biology in highschool? If so- it...
