Hi everyone! Just wanted to say I just got a job a week ago for an in house Hospice unit. I am excited but nervous at the same time. I am in orientation. From my understanding I have to do orientation for 6 weeks, which is good. I am glad of the...

I've heard this. I was a LPN first then RN. I still don't feel any smarter at all. Actually I feel cheated cause there were skills that I didn't get to do in nursing school at clinicals. I feel like the ones that RN's that are different for LPN's...

Okay I feel the same. I got my LPN in 2006 started right away in med surge but had to move due to union strike. I got a job in a nursing home and worked there for about 4 years. Hated it at first and then liked it then hated it again and it got wor...

Hi. I was just wondering if there were any KY health department nurses on the forum? I put my app in last week for a RN entry level position. What are some things I need to know for the job interview?

I don't think so but you do need to be a RN where I live but some places accept LPN's. I've been wondering what I need to know for the interview?

I heard that too. A lot of people who wind up working for the health departments they usually stay a long time for years and I heard that you can retire early. Do you know anything about this? I was told that you can buy into your retirement and r...

I too have many many questions. I put my application out at my local health department. I want a RN job there. I don't know what they will ask me in the interview so that is one of my questions for you and how can I prepare myself? What are some...

Well so far no job yet. I don't know if it is caused by me listing my previous LPN experience or last employer or if it is because of my physical limitations. I'm about to lose hope it's benn almost a month. Should I leave my previous employer in...

Well I don't want to call them in fear of jeopardizing my chances. I think they may be interviewing the ones that applied. I don't know.

Is it too soon for an employer to call me? I keep hoping they will but I'm not really counting on it. Maybe I'm not the one for the job

Would I get proper training if I get a job like that??? The last job I had they only gave me less than a week and that's it I was on the floor on my own

I saw a job posting for MDS. What is required? I don't have my bachelors yet.

Well, I took my exam this morning, and I had 75 questions and more than half of it was SATA questions!!!! I just tried the Pearson Vue trick and it gave me the good popup message "Our records indicate that you have recently scheduled this exam, plea...

You and I are in exact same boat. My exam is tomorrow and I studied the same as you and I've studied more and cried and prayed. My exam is in early am tomorrow Wednesday 27th. I am nervous but everyone is cheering me on. So far everyone in my wh...

So far from what I'm gathering is that everyone is using at least three or more sources to study and some have passed and others not.

Hello everyone, I finally passed RN school. I am currently studying for my NCLEX. I am hoping to take my test in about a month or a little later. I have been getting mixed reviews about people who have taken the recent exam and I know not everyone...

Best advice anyone has ever given in my opinion. I know those who studied most of the sources and passed and I know those who have failed and still searching for more to study. It is a hard exam and each person will get a different exam every time....

Me too. I need all the help I can get. I took ATI, the Hurst Review, and now the NSCB program or something like that. I have the Saunders book. So I am looking for more.

HI everyone, it's been a very long time since I have been on this forum. I am sooooo happy that I found this thread, but I am sooooooooooooo upset too. I took the ATI fundamentals 2nd exam today and I still failed it. I did better than last time,...

I have a question regarding family members taking photos. A family member wants to take pictures of wounds on a resident. I was told that it would be a violation of HIPAA. Is this true or not?

Anyone ever fail an exam from Excelsior? I am in the LPN to RN program. I am already an LPN. I took my first exam on health and safety and failed by only a few points. What do I do? Do I need to repeat the test or will they accept the grade and ...

Oh I have another thing to ad to my previous post, my cousin and I used to play school when we were little and she would also play doctor. She decided that she would be the nurse and so she would act like she was giving me shots and one day she hurt...
