OMG! I think thats **** back there.

"Praise the Lord I passed the NCLEX, I am now a nurse"

them on the floor.

Before asking "should I be a nurse" maybe they should tackle nursing school first, spend several thousand dollars for their education, deal with PITA instructors, late night study sessions, clinical experience...... then pass the NCLEX-PN or RN. After all this they should be able to answer their own question. Ohh wait I forgot, they didn't pass boards in the first place!

While reading this I was thinking about the term Holistic Nursing. In our jobs we are susposed to provide care for not just the patient but the family as well. I see this as customer service like. If your caring for the family as a whole then you are providing customer service:)

Your post is what the word around Monroe is. We used to have a very good hospital and in some respects it still is, but the better portion do go to other hospitals and their nursing center doesn't have any better of a reputation. As far as the work enviroment better to talk to those who work there. I am an LPN and reside in Monroe, Mi. Nina

Took the NCLEX-PN on Thursday. By Saturday (48hrs after) quick results were available. Pearson vue trick indicated prior to this that I had passed. (Got the pop-up) Quick results confirmed that I indeed passed and am now a LPN. Nina :ancong!:

Went and took the work keys test today. That was a little shocking to say the least. How did you do with that test when you entered the program? I know I was not the only one who struggled a little with it. Hope tomorrow is a better day. Nina

Curious101, Thanks for your reply. Can you tell us anything about the financial aid process. I understand that we have to wait 30 days into class to apply for loans. But can you give us any more details? Nina

Hey Curious101, I too am entering the January program at TSPN. Nice to meet you. Have been watching the thread thanks for all the information. Melissa and I have already met and have been communicating via Allnurses. The last 6 mo's I have been trying to find someone who is attending the program. Lo and behold one week out and finally we found you. Again any information you can provide is very helpful. Thanks in advance. Nina

Very good point brought to light. Only thing is I am surprised that no one else has commented on post. My husband is a smoker also even though I make him go outside most of the time. Other than that all I have to say is: WHAT IS THIS WORLD COMING TO??????????:angryfire Nina

I think all should take a look at ChuckE's profile. New to Allnurses, (Oct 2009) and from the looks of it does not appear to be in the nursing field, and with only 21 post. Hum....... Nina

Had the IM on October 20th. Injection site sore to touch and slightly swollen approximately 18 hours after the shot. Slight sore throat for a couple of days. Nina

This actually happened last night. I do not want to hear this line again in the near future. Aide #1 "Hey can I have an assist in here. I need everything fresh from the waist down including socks! Aide #2 Goes to get the items, returns to the shower area, and then ask "What happened?????" Duh, should be pretty obvious! LOL Nina

OMG! LOL That is classic! Nina
