I am also starting a correctional position as well. My start date is the end of sept. We can keep eath other posted on the progress. I am a little nervous and excited at the same time. I wish you the best of luck on your new journey.

I just recently got hired there for a branch in CT. I am going through the physical process now and have not yet started orientation. I am just curious to know why was that your response to the post. Just so I can know if i should keep my guard up go...

Today was my first day of biology, and it wasnt what i expected it to be. I knew it wasnt gonna be easy, but i didnt think it was gonna be this challenging:bugeyes:. It was very interesting though!! I always liked science in high school. I am aiming ...

I recently started a new job, and the only advice I am being given during my training is "dont trust the other nurses", "every one is for self" and that "there is no support from the fellow nurses" (LPN and RN's). I understand (but dont agree with) s...

The are also some doctors out there that believe we are irrelevant, wait to you come across those.. I just shake my head and continue to maintain my professionalism.. :redpinkhe

At one point I was feeling like I needed to take anything since I could not find a job as a nurse. I was beginning to feel like I spent $$$$ and wasted time becoming a nurse only to be still working as a direct care worker for almost a year after nur...

Hi babyface, here in the US we no longer use that term mental retardation. A more appropriate term was constructed we now use "Developmental Disabilities". The term "mental retardation" in my state was found to be offensive to the individuals we serv...

I was a residential staff who was med cert before becoming a nurse. My agency is in the works of putting their MAR's on Therap. I will let you know any info when that change occurs. Im curious to know how would that work with new orders that have to ...

As a fellow nurse I am sorry you had to encounter that experience. I find it appalling the they hired you as a new grad and only gave you 2 days orientation. I dont care how small a facilty is that not enough time to feel comfortable. I started as a ...

Live in CT. Base pay $23.52 I work 2nd shift with a shift differential of $3.60 and $30.81 on weekends...

:heartbeat I just wanna extend some encouragment for new LPN grads with in the last year or so. I recently graduated in April of 2010 got licensed in May 2010 and found it very hard and discouraging to find a job part-time nor full-time. Majority of ...

I graduated in April 2010 took my NCLEX-LPN in May 2010. I recieved my first LPN position in July 2010 but it was only a Per diem shift. This month I finally landed a part time position. It took awhile but with determination and diligence it finally ...

Awsome, I would love to have been there in person to experience that in person.

A Betty Boop one, goes with my personality...

No I havent found a fulltime job yet, but I start a part time position next week which is exciting for me...

If I am not mistaken LPN's in the state of CT have to work under a RN or other higher medical professional. I would definitly inquire about this at CT BON just to be on the safe side.

I also graduated in April 2010 and just recently (finally found a part time) job. Every place I applied to never responded back, and those that did only had positions for per-diem. If you are willing to travel to Waterbury a place called Cheshire hou...

I am currently waiting for my ATT number so I can schedule my test date for my NCLEX-PN, but I heard that Pearsonvue has a 2 month waiting list in CT right now, cause they are so booked. Does anyone know if its true, and is there anyone waiting to ta...

No, Im only licensed in CT, but I was able to take the test in MA. Pearsonvue said I can take the test anywhere cause they are all connected, but your only licensed in the state that you apply for.

I tested in CT, I was able to go on the CT state board of nursing website and my license went from pending to active. They posted it really quick. A few of classmates their status was also updated really quickly on the state board website in 24 hours...

Thank you so much. I wanted to let you know I passed my nclex-pn:yeah:

Everyone who is waiting on their results dont give up hope keep your faith and continue to pray. Draw nearer to the LORD and he will draw nearer to you. GOOD LUCK all my soon to be NURSES..:redbeathe

I found out on 05/21/2010 one day after my test that I undeed PASSED my nclex-pn. So needless to say I am a true PVT believer. I am a LPN:dancgrp:

I took my nclex-pn today and then I tried the PVT and I got the good pop-up so hopefully with GOD's good grace I passed. I will keep you guys posted if the trick worked for me or not... I should have my results by tomorrow hopefully
