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

  3. Well.......................................?

    *Scrubs* posted a topic in LPN, LVN Students

    How is it going for you new nursing students? I am curious about how you all are doing. Is it what you thought it would be? Harder? Easier? What is your typical day like? Inquiring minds want...

  4. Teetering on the edge

    *Scrubs* replied to some1hotterthanu's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I know what you mean, I am sort of OCD about some things so prioritizing and time management is key. When I was a CNA I would have at least 12 people to care for and I really had to not get wrapped...

  8. NCLEX Eligibility

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

    I really doubt they would arrive on the same exact day...so don't worry. At our orientation though, they said even if we passed the program the board has the right to deny us taking the NCLEX if...

  9. Program Interview Questions

    *Scrubs* replied to Abby2229's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Well, for me that was pretty much it. We went over my scores, why I wanted to be a nurse, and thats about all. Dress nice, like a job interview and you'll be fine. Good

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

  11. Entrance exam questions???

    *Scrubs* replied to bmackd2's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I have never heard of that specific test. But the entrance test I took was not too difficult, although I did have to brush up on basic algebra---- I hate math. Thankfully my DH is a mathlete and he...

  12. Entering Healthcare field

    *Scrubs* replied to bre9's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    CNA work is hard. It takes a special person to be able to work in that position. It is a rewarding, but often thankless. And there will be plenty of fluids and vomit. Also, since you have small...

  14. Does it bother you

    *Scrubs* posted a topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    that student LPN's post here? Honestly. I notice on the general student board- posters focus mainly on RN students, who are in a college setting and not on us who are an vocational school. Perhaps...

    *Scrubs* posted a topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Did my instructor lie to me? I keep reading posts of people waiting for weeks when my instructor told me we get our results online in 24 hours. What's the

  16. Someone saying that they are a LVN when they are not!

    *Scrubs* replied to jetta1's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Is she actually caring for your patient or just flapping her gums? Perhaps she is trying to act like she is knowledgable to make the family think she knows what she is talking about. I would call...

  17. Second thoughts.......................

    *Scrubs* posted a topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Ok... so I start LPN school next month and have been completely excited and sure about becoming an nurse. Then all of a sudden the other night I had a terrible thought. What happens if during...

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

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

    Ok- I am not a nurse -yet. But- I did work at an Outpatient Rehab that worked with IPN (Intervention Project for Nurses) which closely followed nurses that were turned into the BON for substance...

  20. New nurse, first code

    *Scrubs* replied to bluegeegoo2's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    {{{{HUGS}}}} I have never actually performed CPR, so I have no experience to share with you. But.. know you tried. It sounds like you and your team did their best- and that is all you can do. You...

  21. Confused about NET exam......

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

    I was worried about the math portion as well, as I am terrible in Algebra. I brushed up on basic algebra. The test I took contained a bit of algebra but more long division, fractions, multiplication...

  23. School nurse

    *Scrubs* posted a topic in General Nursing

    Are they RN's or LPN's? What is the pay range? Is it hard to land that position? I am curious- it would seem to me that it would be difficult to come by, and possibly low-paying. Any insight is...

  24. New LPN students??

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

    This may be a silly question, as I have not attended orientation yet- Does your school have you wear your uniform right away or only when you start clinicals? How much did your uniforms cost? I...

  25. Piercings

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

    In the event they do not ask you to remove your piercings, you may want to consider it. During clinicals you may work with a patient that is not cooperative. I would hate to have something ripped...
