I was taking care of a patient who had liquid diarrhea. I was not able to get to my med pass because of this. The patient's family was complaining about everything. I was getting no feedback from my instructor until she decided to make me go home....

I did go back to clinicals the next day. The pt taped a note written in big writing stating that the pt would not be taking any more nursing students. My classmates didn't understand why she made me go home either, but they were glad to see me. ...

The original pt I was assigned to wasn't in his room so the instructor assigned me another pt late in the morning. This put me behind and threw me off. I guess I felt overwhelmed by the fact that as soon as I changed the pt he would have liquid diar...

I am a LPN student at Ivy Tech in Sellersburg. What were you wanting to know exactly? Unfortunately, I am not on much because of lack of time.

Welcome Crazyframes! I have found that I am losing weight faster now because I feel I am accountable moreso than doing it without everyone here. Lost 1 pound this week. Down 15 pounds total so far. I will probably gain it back this weekend since ...

Okay now I get to go buy all the neat supplies.... I got into the LPN program at Ivy Tech in Sellersburg. Didn't make the cut for the RN, but I figure I can apply to transition into the RN program when the time comes. Yay!! :cheers: :clpty: I haven...

Congrats on the 4 year wedding anniversary!! I will be throwing all rules out the window this upcoming weekend... my husband and I actually have a whole weekend without any kids and that is a miracle. So we will probably be eating out and just hav...

Wishn, Hang in there! I'm praying for us all to get in.... although I don't know if I'm going to get in at this point. 2 As and 2 Bs for my prereqs, with an 85 on the TEAS test... I may not get in. I did apply for the LPN and the RN program thoug...

My parents couldn't afford to send me to school. Look at it from their perspective, maybe your parents can't afford it or they never went to college so they don't see the value in it. I got loans to get through school the first time around, but be...

I have worked with people like this also, just in a different field. Personally I would be doing a lot of documentation to CYA. However, I would also be looking for another job. This person has been there longer. The administrators have probably ...

I would have gotten fired because I couldn't have sat there. I probably would have screamed out and grabbed the doctor... all of which may get me a jail sentence for battery. I do wish I hadn't read this threat though.

Fuucan, That's a loaded question for me today. My husband and I got in this horrible fight yesterday (mother's day of all days)... it happens every year because he hates his mother so he takes it out on me. I'm getting very tired of it. On the up...

Hang in there Tracylvn! It can be very frustrating with all the stress, work, kids (if you have them), husband (if you have 1)... life in general. Just remember its like school is 1 class at a time and you get there. Well, 1 lb at a time and you ...

Piglet, I have a JD and I have been temping as a secretary because I couldn't find a job.... I am taking a 2-week CNA course in June in order to get into a hospital setting. A lot of the hospitals have their own websites with job postings on them. Y...

Congrats to all who got in!!! Yay!!! I'm so happy for you. I just got on the scale and lost 5 pounds this week! Looks like I wasn't following the points like I should have been before. I kept on gaining and losing the same 2 pounds, which was ver...

Its legal. If it the initials were initially wrong and they are simply correcting with the correct initials, then it is legal. I shouldn't be giving legal advice.... but I am a licensed attorney in Kentucky and I do believe that its legal to do that...

:hpygrp: Congratulations on getting in!!! Yes, I am trying to get into Ivy Tech. I will have to take additional pre-reqs if I apply elsewhere I believe so I am hoping I get in. Louisville is beautiful. However, if I could move right now away f...

Are there any temp agencies in your area? You could always go agency until you are able to find what you are looking for and it would probably get you additional experience in different areas.

Good Luck! I hope you get in. I have applied for Fall and I am finishing up my A&P II class. It is kicking my butt. I have a final on Wednesday over the endocrine system, urinary system, body-fluid ratios and reproductive system. I will be ha...

I'm not a nurse yet. However, I can certainly tell you my experience regarding work environments. I worked as a legal assistant for years before I went to law school and became a lawyer. I now cannot find a job as a lawyer. I believe it is in par...

I am taking a 2 week course here where I live in June. I will go full time Monday through Friday for 2 weeks. The clinicals are on Fridays. You might want to check with your local Board of Nursing. They may have some recommendations on programs t...

I didn't lose anything past the 1 pound I lost by Thursday. I'm hoping to get into a bathing suit sometime this summer and wearing white on the bottom half is a goal as well. I haven't been able to wear white pants in years.

I haven't lost this week so far. I've stayed right at the same weight. Its very frustrating when this happens. I had a bad week last week so its probably just caught up with me. 2 more weeks and I will be done with ANP 102. I'm nervous about my ...

I lost 1 lb. this past week. I didn't count points this past week and I need to work on that better, but I did get the exercise in. I'm sorry to hear about the husband leaving for the less fluffy girlfriend. You can feel free to PM me. I've been t...
