    What days is your office closed?

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

    Ella26 replied to >--stethoscope--o's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Ella26 replied to MrsLPN2's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I am sorry to hear that you are going through this. It sounds like the facility should be finding out why the RN does not follow up with an assessment when you have reported a decline in status to...

    Ethical dilemma

    Ella26 replied to amiwrong's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    You did the right thing. That is too bad that the other teachers do not realize how inappropriate the teachers behavior is. That makes me wonder what else she has done before or what they have done,...

    Do you find Kaplan Tree useful?

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

    I did not like the decision tree, it was too confusing and it only applies to a handful of questions. And they did not teach us the tree until the last few months of school. And honestly when I did...

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

    I work at a clinic in MN and I make $20/hour with a ADN/RN. It does sound a bit low. But at least just go to the interview and see if they give you an offer and if they do can it be negotiated?...

    Are you married sweetie?"

    Ella26 replied to Nurse-84's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    That's exactly what I say, "No I don't have kids, maybe in the future", to get them off my back. I don't want kids and cant have them (surgery-by my choice). Its too complicated to try to explain to...

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