    LPN to RN woes

    Ella26 replied to Lynker's topic in General Nursing

    I went back right away. Like others have stated, if it is your goal to be an RN, it best to do it ASAP. That way everything is fresh and your pre-reqs don’t expire (sciences). The longer you wait...

    Ella26 replied to usethehaldol's topic in General Nursing

    My nursing instructor told us this as well "We should work hard in school so we don't end up stuck working at a nursing home" This quote is appalling! I can’t believe your nursing instructor said...

    Am I too stupid to be a nurse?

    Ella26 replied to iconicqueen's topic in General Nursing

    OP, I agree with everyone of the above posters, especially the one about the name change... that just reinforces the negative perception you have of yourself! Think more positively! It can do you...
