  1. Community college has a 7% graduation rate...

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

    There's also another reason. Some programs are less hesitant about flunking students out for all kinds of

  2. Olive View UCLA and LAC+USC interview LVN 1

    tothepointeLVN replied to CharlyB20's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Can't give you specifics about the actual application process since I worked for the LAC-USC system as a registry worker but be ready to start quickly once the livescan is done. I had barely gotten...

  3. New Grad wanting to work in Pediatrics

    tothepointeLVN replied to aozimmerman's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I think they'll be a peds opportunity for you later down the road. Sometimes we have to take a less than ideal position at first and then move into something better

  4. Broken spirit....

    tothepointeLVN replied to RNsuperstar's topic in General Nursing

    No matter what career path your on your going to have moments where your spirit gets dented. Write on the wrong chart, make a pattern for production thats 3/32" off. No matter how perfect you are...

  5. Nursing Shoes??

    tothepointeLVN replied to KLBatchelor's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    It takes awhile to break Danskos in so buy them early if you go that route. If not the New Balance model 9 something that comes in all white, black and brown is what a lot of postal workers

  7. What a coincidence. . .every single student nurse who shadows me. . .

    tothepointeLVN replied to thesundowner's topic in General Nursing

    That is to be expected since NP and PA programs are similar and if your dedicated enough to get through the program your probably dedicated enough to get the job done right no matter what. NP is a...

    tothepointeLVN replied to thesundowner's topic in General Nursing

    All I can say is just remember is that we are not always perceived the way we think we are. I'm 100% percent sure your not perceiving me the way I intend I'm definitely not perceiving you the way you...

  10. What a coincidence. . .every single student nurse who shadows me. . .

    tothepointeLVN replied to thesundowner's topic in General Nursing

    Says it all right there. What people are missing in the OP point is they are confusing having goals for being rude. Making plans for the future = fine. Yabbering on about those plans while someone its...

  11. Im curious and want to see absolute honesty

    tothepointeLVN replied to miabia's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I didn't want to be a nurse until I actually became one now I can't think of being anything else. Sometimes I literally forget that they pay me. Like

  13. Not even a word of English

    tothepointeLVN replied to MomRN0913's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    It's especially upsetting to me as I'm a 7th generation NZer and 1st generation American so I literally had nothing to do with

  15. Not even a word of English

    tothepointeLVN replied to MomRN0913's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I remember taking a compulsory cultural sensitivity class my first year at uni (NZ) which ended up being a bashing fest for any non white student to blame the white students for every single bad thing...

    tothepointeLVN replied to thesundowner's topic in General Nursing

    Honestly even though Nurse is in the title CRNA school should probably be more intergrated. Back home med school is like that you enter from highschool and the whole program is 7

    tothepointeLVN replied to thesundowner's topic in General Nursing

    You do seem a little feisty on this issue. No one is saying xyz isn't real nursing what they are saying if you are going to school for nursing you should probably actually want to BE a nurse of some...

    tothepointeLVN replied to thesundowner's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah this is my issue. While I DO have plans to move into advance practice eventually it's just that a plan. May not happen. Mean while I enjoy being a nurse and that's what I trained for. Upward...

    tothepointeLVN replied to thesundowner's topic in General Nursing

    Our assistant DON in NS was a die hard med/surg nurse and she wasn't shy about stating it and got everyone fired about about M/S. She had a good point though; they'll always need med/surg nurses since...

    tothepointeLVN replied to thesundowner's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think we need a padlock. One thing that irked me during training was in my final rotation each student got 4 days in the ER which was a treat since LVNs generally don't get to be in the ER in...

    tothepointeLVN replied to thesundowner's topic in General Nursing

    The OP cares mainly becaused they are so focused on the tomorrow they forget to focus on the now. Not all people who aspire to be a CRNA will become one. If you only got into nursing soley to persue a...

  24. Study Groups: Help or Nuisance?

    tothepointeLVN replied to MrsCuoco's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Try if you can to get a study group that's well matched in abilities so you'll all benefit on focusing whatever you want to focus

  25. Are LPN's being phased out?

    tothepointeLVN replied to JSlovex2's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Yup and a desperate RN who needs some experience to grow into her role is more exploitable than a more experienced practical nurse. The line "well your a RN I thought you could handle XYZ" can be used...
