Hi, I am newly hired by hospice through a staffing agency and I did receive orientation from a hospice office, but I know that I need some more help! Can anyone tell me what is the correct way to document for them? I was told that Medicaid is very...

Thank you! It does help. My problem is I'm not shadowing anyone and I'm brand new to Hopsice. I worked in pediatrics before so this is a whole new ball game. I was just told that the documentation is very strict and that you have to be careful of wha...

I am floating on a cloud!! I took the NCLEX-PN yesterday and I passed!!! I can't believe it! I was SURE that I had failed. The test ended at 205 questions. I am so excited to begin my career!!! Melissa

in response to the red underlined statement, i just took the nclex yesterday and it has both the brand & generic name.

Congratulations to you!!!! Yea!! :bowingpur

DON'T GIVE UP!! If you really want it and have your mind set to it, what could stand in the way?? :) Check with your local college and see if they have a refresher course you could take (and maybe use student loans) and I would suggest the Saunders ...

Awsome!!! Congrats to you too.

I know what you mean! I just passed the nclex-pn and I don't know how many times I've had to teach people about what a LPN really is and what we do. So many people think we are just (and this is the exact word i've heard) "glorified CNA's". CRAZY!! ...

Yes, I guess it did work! I didn't know that the pop-up I got meant it worked, so I edited my original post. I checked on the pearsonvue site yesterday before finding out that I passed and it really stressed me out more. BUT, I think EVERYTHING was s...

I took my nclex yesterday and found out today that I passed. So I went to the pearsonvue site and tried to re-register. I got the message saying "that a test had already been scheduled, and could not be rescheduled at this time". Hopefully, that mea...

I am taking mine on the 23rd & I am more than ready to get it over with, even though I don't feel that I'm ready. GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE!!! Melissa

Congrats!! Did you take the PN or RN??

Good Luck and let us know how you do. I will be taking mine in a few months. I graduate on the 28th of this month! Congrats to you!

Good Luck!

Hi, I began a LPN program in Feb at a private college. I went to a community college for 3 years before being accepted into this LPN program and I was really excited about it at first, but I am wondering if the things that are going at this school ar...

HI, I am 27 yrs old & I began the LPN program in Feb. 08 at a private college. It is a 12 month program, so (hopefully) I will be a 2009 graduate! I have to say that going from a regular community college to a private one has really been challeng...

Hi, I will be starting clinicals on June 2nd and I was wondering what pocket dictionary I should buy?? I am also going to get a pocket guide for clinicals, and a pocket drug book. This seems like a lot to be carrying around to me. Anyone have any sug...

Hi, I just finished the intermediate & advanced skills in our foundations books, we had 4 hours of lab time scheduled everyday when we were reading the foundations book. BUT, the only thing we were shown in the lab was blood glucose and silly lit...

Wow you are lucky to get all that from your school! We are not provided with anything!! But I will check into to mosby's pocket one.I just bought a pocket drug guide & a pocket lpn clinical note guide. Thanks for your response & I'm totally j...

The only thing that helps me is to keep my mind focused on the end goal: my license! There is soo much stress & drama, but as long as you stay away from all of that & study, you will do fine. :wink2: I am 4 months into my program and start cl...
