OK, so my cat was clipped at Petsmart & they cut her. 3 weeks later, she has ringworm. I took her to the vet & they gave me shampoo & spray for her. Having to bath her every 4 days - boy she hates me. Well, now, I have it. .:imbar ...

Today, we saw our pin. I must say, I am disappointed. Our school symbol (some sort of metal structure) is on it & it looks like a penis :imbar . Have you guys ever seen a "bomb-pop"? It is a sort of ice pop that are Red/White & Blue. It ...

Since I will be driving 50mins. to & from school starting this fall, I thought that it would be good to tape record my classes so that I can listen to them on the drive home. Ya know, to really get a handle on it. But, I just found out that my ...

Hi, This is my first post. I received my letter Monday accepting me into the LPN program at a school 40 miles away. I am sooo excited that I am telling everyone. But, when I tell them it is for LPN, they all get this look on their face, like disap...

Well, yesterday was graduation. I completed the LPN program. Very happy, but now I have to work haha. I wanted to give some advice to all those who will or just starting nursing school. 1. Don't ever give up. It may seem overwhelming, but you c...

I hope you all do well. For me, I thought I was smart until my 2nd nursing test. From then on, I was about 84-86 average - not real promising. The first couple of months, in the LPN program, we covered 5 to 7 chapters every 2 days, then had a tes...

OK everyone - I'M ON MY KNEES - I NEED HELP. It's up to me to come up with our pinning program. Our class is really messed-up & we are having 2 "pinnings" and graduation. The first pinning is on Thurs. (dental/medical assisting, surgical techs ...

Honestly, I'm not ASKING for a "cheerleading" section - just a thank you. Hello- I worked just as hard as they did AND did alittle more to make that day something they will remember for the rest of their lives. Just FYI - we had 2 (two) pinning e...

We had a class - but learned nothing. I have been told that there is VERY LITTLE on the test. Just go over your review stuff and you will be fine. But, I will take the test in a few weeks and let you know first hand. Best - Justjenn

Have you talked with your instructors - can they shed any light? Are you over-studying? I would speak with them first. If you made the Deans list in school - in nursing- I would contact someone at the Boards & ask them if they can enlighten y...

It was BEAUTIFUL. The music, the presentation, the powerpoint slide show to AEROSMITH (sp?) Dream on - & timing was spot on, the speech, the program - along with making all the copies, picking out & ordering the presents and all the music. ...

WOW, it's done!!! Today was alittle unreal for most of us. We can't wait for pinning and graduation. I am basically in charge of putting together our pinning. That is a task in itself. Well, I think I will go and watch Lord of the Rings & play...

Yes - I have 2 people that WANT to sing (go figure). Yes, everyone does get an funny award -really, it's a card with what your classmates voted you as - I am "Most Likely to be buried with her nurse's cap" and Most likely to watch Harry Potter inste...

Can someone tell me about the belt with the clasp that was/is worn with the nursing uniforms? Does it serve a purpose? Is it tradition & if so, what is the story behind it? Reason for asking, is that I always thought they were sharp looking. A...

Hi Everyone. I need your help in regards to an opinion poll for my public speaking class. It would help me out alot if you could take a minute to cast your vote. Even better, let me know your opinion. It is on whether or not there should be a na...

Hello - I am doing a public speech for school & I could use your help. My point I am trying to make is that many patients and their families cannot distinguish who are nurses/nurses aids/custodians and that I think the US should have a way, bes...

Good point - BUT what about people who can't read or that are elderly? There are many people where I live that do not have an education - many are elderly. I'd like to point out that the "uniform" can be a sort of scrub - it's not like having to we...

OK, what about UPS drivers, postal employees, waitresses and waiters, some department stores - Best Buy, Circuit City, Home Depot & Lowes & some food stores have vests they have to wear. ALL THESE PROFESSIONS ARE IMPORTANT. If you want to...

The patients seem to know who is who. Do you think it is a good idea? Is there a sense of non respect by who wears what color because it shows a difference in education and rank? Thanks again. Jenn

I want to thank ALL, EVERYONE, YOU for helping me in this project. Please, the 8 that have vote differently than the majority, can you please let me know what your views are? :) Thanks - Justjenn

That is sooooo me. I agree w/ my whole heart & soul. Funny thing with me is, if a pregnant woman is walking in one door, I will walk in another. After doing clinicals 2 times in PACU, it amazes me that the human race still goes on. :rotfl: G...

Many of you know that I am a die-hard tradionalist. I like the white uniforms & nursing caps. I volunteered to go to work w/my director of nursing in PACU this Friday & she said I needed to wear scrubs. WHAT, ME, SCRUBS? :rotfl: Well, I dr...

A - 100-90 B - 89-80 C - 79-75 Anything below 75 is failing. As far as our NCLEX rate - our school had 100% last graduating class & usually maintained a 98% 3yrs. prior to that. They really weed the students out early. Happy to say, I am growin...

as a lpn nursing student, i have been questioned many times as to "why aren't you going to be a rn?" or, i love it(sarcastic) when people see my name tag & ask me what spn means - when i tell them - practical nurse - they just say "oh, i thought...

I, as a SPN had an expierence last week that is still haunting me. We have started "team nursing" 4 pt.'s per 1. charge nurse, 1 med.nurse & 2 pt. care nurses. Ok - well, we were short 1 pt. care nurse, so I had 4 pt.'s to shower, feed, dress,...
