No, I don't ever. I'd rather see upfront what kind of person/nurse they are than see a facade. Also, nurses specialize and other nurses forget this. They seem to think you know everything about their area. I'm like, hi, our jobs are very differen...

Many of the LVN's at my job are very experienced. I have been working as a CNA and will soon be an RN. This is going to cause some uncomfortable situations. For instance, I am use to running errands and doing tasks for them. Also, I usually get pushe...

I was taught in school LVN/LPN's were not allowed to assess. I keep hearing LVN's at work trying to make the case that they can. What are the limits to the tasks the LVN can be delegated?

What snacks do you eat while studying that help you stay focused. Thanks

I am looking for a good PDA myself. You can but drugs in there for quick look up when pulling meds. Also, it might help for scheduling your time or keeping notes, and people's phone numbers. As far as clinicals we were assigned our hospital. You ...

I am a bitter old man and I still found people to hang out with and work together to get through school. You will be fine. Even though nursing school is hard try to enjoy it. You will miss certain things about it after you graduate.

I owe 30,000 for my biology degree which I didn't finish and about 50,000 for my nursing degree.

Yes, that was the program. It was so sad. I know those people don't want to live that way. It must be an addiction or medical problem of some sort. It is hard not to judge, because we are conditioned as a society to think negatively about overwe...

I just bought that one a couple of days ago. I can't wait to wear it to work. I was able to fit everything in there. Does your stethoscope fit in there well?

Sorry to hear that. I recently passed the NCLEX. I have to say what helped me most was what I was taught in nursing school. I really can't say Kaplin helped me a great deal. The best thing about Kaplin is the question trainer can tell you what ar...

Most of nursing school is sitting on your butt hitting the books. Also, take out food becomes a regular food item since students have limited time to prepare a meal. The food at the school cafeteria isn't much better. We did have a gym and about ever...

Thanks that was all really good advice.

I am glad that is over. The worst part is the wait. I am so glad I didn't have wait 6 weeks like they use to.

Thanks, that is bad. One thing we have to worry about now though, is anyone can go on the BON website before you do and find out if you passed or failed. Either way the wait was driving me crazy.

I need one where can I find them. The stethoscope and scissors are pulling my pants down when I am walking. That's why. :trout:

I use to buy sixbucks and then one day I realized, why am I paying this much for coffee. I was looking for 5 hour energy but could only find a knock off called 6 hour power. It worked pretty good.

Wow, I thought if you passed the HESI you'd surely pass the NCLEX.

That's a good plan. It was a pain in the butt because most feel they failed after they take it and then you have to keep telling everyone... I don't know my results yet. lol then 5 mins later... No, I still don't know. Then, you know everyone is...

All I know is a girl I went to school with passed out once while doing I think a blood draw. She graduated and is now an RN. There are jobs where you don't necessarily have to work around blood.

Guess who is an RN now? Me. Go take that test. You can do it.

I could not sleep at all the night b4 the NCLEX.

thanks so much. now, if i could stop peeing and get some sleep.

Studying for my NCLEX and I a so drained. Emotionally and mentally. I wish I felt better about everything. Seems like I should be happy I am most likely about to start my career, but I'm just tired. :zzzzz

Sorry to hear that. Glad you passed and are back on track.

Thanks so much. My test isn't until 1230pm. Still I would like to go to sleep yet I am wide awake peeing every 5 mins. I am nervous. I did get quite a bit of sleep earlier though so I should be ok... I hope. I keep wanted to scrouge for any last...
