I preferred 11-7. There is always a large amount of meds due on every shift at LTCs, at the exact same times. But nights had the least (where I worked). And with 30+ residents, it seemed to be the...
If you are going to continue working with this agency, definitely follow some of the advice that you have been given. That way at least you know you are protecting yourself. I'm currently working...
Here's my 2 cents: When I first joined the military (years ago), I came in as a medic. My first assignment was in an emergency room at an Army hospital. Part of the criteria for working there, was to...
Have you tried doing a search on here for "Indiana State online" and "Excelsior"? You might be able to gain a bit more accurate information, if you ask the people who are actually taking these...
happy holidays from miami, florida, where it's a balmy 74 degrees. how i miss the snow! :snowman: i'd even settle for cool weather, where i can actually wear a sweater.
I think that you have received some great advice so far. I definitely agree that seeking professional help is your first step. The root of your problems need to be identified, before anything can be...
maybe it's just the posts that i have been clicking on, but i didn't realize that this was a big issue. i'm a working lpn and an rn student. and i can honestly say that i've found very useful...
If you feel more geared towards going to north, don't let the drive discourage you. I live in Miami. I'm 35 miles (one way) from south campus, where I currently attend the program. And I know another...
I served 11 years in the Army, but it was as a medical specialist then LPN. So I am more familiar with the "enlisted" side. From what I remember, with the BSN you should be able to go in as an...

Yes, you have the math class first. I started the LPN/RN transition in May at south campus. Week one, we had two days of math class. Week two, we had two more days of math class. On that last day (day...

Are you asking if it's the procedure once you pass pharm and the math class? We took both (pharm and math) during our first semester, along with NUR 2020 and NUR 2000L. I'm not aware of anyone...
EmmyBee replied to alisonelizabeth's topic in Florida Nursing
that's pretty much it. so far we haven't had anyone fail a clinical. but for those who either failed the math or a lecture class, they all had to do some form of remediation class and in some cases,...
EmmyBee replied to alisonelizabeth's topic in Florida Nursing
just to clarify, the quiz is at the beginning of every new class/rotation. and if you fail the first time, you get to try again. but if you fail that second attempt, then they will withdraw you. you...

I would write down the pros and the cons for both shifts, decide whether or not I could afford it, and then see which choice would make me happier overall. Then I'd go with that one. Good
In addition to working on finishing up your GED, I think you might need to look into more career options, as well. Have you researched other jobs that involve the aspect of "helping others", like you...
:yeah:Cool! I finished GI/GU and will be done with Peds this month. When do you start Psych? I'll be starting in January, on Wednesdays at Memorial, then in March we go to OB. So they have you all...
Hi Ladies, I really think sometimes they wing it as they go. LOL I will be done with Peds this month. And we lost 8 people for the Math. Nine failed initially, then only ONE passed the re-test. It was...
I'm an LPN in an RN program (also a single parent). I have seen them many places I have worked, for either 8 or 10 hour shifts. There's nursing homes, rehab centers, specialty clinics, doctor's...
Yep. I'm on my way to Psych in Jan and OB in Mar. We already registered. You have actually given me advice on everything so far, from south campus, to instructors, to the ROPES course. LOL You...
The math exams are scary, because of the pressure of only being able to miss one. And it is SO easy to make simple mistakes. I still have about five more to take. So trust me, I worry about it all the...
Yes, Bumblebee actually graduated from South about two years ago. Lucky her! :grad: I am currently at south. I just want to stress to you, that you shouldn't be so hung up on which campus is...
Lady Buggers, I'm here in South Florida. I've been lucky so far, because I have experience as an LPN. But I'm definitely worried about what will happen, once I graduate the RN program I'm in. Have you...
Just out of curiosity, have you mentioned this to their clinical instructor? Or have you brought it to the attention of your supervisor or floor manager, so that something can be done? When I was in...
Hey Bumblebee, I'm at South right now. Yes, Dean Quinn is still there. I just gave the EXACT same advice to one of the generic students. There is no way I can comprehend reading hundreds of pages. So...
