  1. Why are Nurses so mean to each other?

    tothepointeLVN replied to Dixon, future NP's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

  2. Are these sneakers acceptable for nursing school?

    tothepointeLVN replied to 369XYZ's topic in General Students

    I wore white danksos and my school didn't accept clogs either. When they say clogs they mean open back like crocs. Personally I think too much time was wasted on the perfect shoes. I think as long as...

    tothepointeLVN replied to TheCommuter's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    A lot of the LPN jobs available are the hit the ground running and dare I say it lower skill level so less training is needed or at all so employers are less hesitant to hire more of us. Even as a new...

  6. Number of clinical hours

    tothepointeLVN replied to traumanurse2b?'s topic in General Students

    We did 1200 hours for my LVN program over 12 months. 24 hours a week either 3 8's or 2 12's. That's in addition to theory

  7. Corona Regional Medical Center

    tothepointeLVN replied to NurseVN's topic in California Nursing

    It's a interesting concept. Find out who is trainable as a RN without actually spending the money to train them first. Corona's a nice area. I've been hoping to eventually move out to

  8. A&P "coloring book"??

    tothepointeLVN replied to butterflykisses23's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I found the physiology one more useful that the anatomy one but they are inexpensive and a good way to relax and study at the same time so win win. Good

  10. ISU LVN to BSN program California

    tothepointeLVN replied to LadyinScrubs's topic in Indiana State University

    Um is this a joke? Are you honestly just now hearing about this. I don't think it's doing to affect the number of jobs in a position upward manner. There's lots of discussion about this issue if you...

    tothepointeLVN replied to TheCommuter's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

  13. Why don't people take LPNs seriously?

    tothepointeLVN replied to Hellostudentnurssee's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Ahh the old cherry picking the quotes. The reality is your still a student and don't really know what your talking about half the time. You've never been a nurse of any kind and your high on the...

  14. Why don't people take LPNs seriously?

    tothepointeLVN replied to Hellostudentnurssee's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    You haven't provided any studies just alluded to them. BTW most of them we've probably read before. Most have a big bias and tend to compare BSN to ADN nurses or BSN nurses to UAP rather than RN to...

  15. Why don't people take LPNs seriously?

    tothepointeLVN replied to Hellostudentnurssee's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    tothepointeLVN replied to TheCommuter's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Just ignore him he's just another typical newish poster that comes on AN and only posts vinegar and never offers anything positive to the site. Having opinions is one thing having ONLY opinions is...

    tothepointeLVN replied to Hellostudentnurssee's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Y'know I have a problem with posters like you who only post negative rhetoric so if I reply to you what can I expect back? More negative? No thanks. I've gotten your message. You think your superior...
