    Ella26 replied to klwinkleman's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Does your office/clinic allow walk-ins to see the nurse?

    Ella26 replied to BlueLightRN's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    It is usually stuff they could have called to ask, but most are there for allergy shots so while there they want to speak to the nurse. The ones that just walk in, it could be anything from breathing...

    For Those Who Took The Nclex PN

    Ella26 replied to pookyp's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I took NCLEX-PN in June 2009. If I can remember correctly, it had fundamental content, as well as meds, and disease processes. I felt it hit me hard on the Endocrine system. So for my NCLEX-RN last...

    Ella26 replied to hamolady's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Ill be honest, I did fail my CNA skills test the first time. I was so focused on knowing all the hard skills, that I completely messed up on HAND WASHING! Go figure! The worst part of it was that the...

    Who is responsible to find shift coverage?

    Ella26 replied to rn865's topic in General Nursing

    Your experience as a lpn turned RN

    Ella26 replied to DrkCocoMurse215's topic in LPN to RN

    I have no regrets moving from LPN to RN(ADN). In my current role, I pretty much do the same job as I did when I was an LPN. But I was promoted to Nursing Supervisor and got a raise. I would say my RN...

    Is having an ADN really a terrible choice?

    Ella26 replied to Guest757854's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN
