  1. Fancy copy of my nursing license

    SweettartRN posted a topic in General Nursing

    Does anyone know the company that produces this that I can order from? I am looking for the company that will print a professional/office appropriate copy of your nursing license and frame it for you....

  2. Broke my foot at work- now I can't even bathe by myself and I am miserable!

    SweettartRN posted a topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I am about to lose my mind!!! Last Monday I fell at work and broke my fifth metatarsal bone. It was a worker's comp. claim and I have been in to see two of my employers doctor's and have had a nurse...

  3. Truly sick today and being harassed by employer

    SweettartRN posted a topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I was not feeling well this morning and after working a 3rd last night I called at 2 to let my Agency know I wouldn't be able to pick up the 12A shift today and that I would be going to the doctor's...

  4. FREAKING out... my first fall and an investigation is on.

    SweettartRN posted a topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Last Sunday I had my first fall. Our facility PA was with me during my initial assessment and checking the resident out. She was found on the floor by her bed. She had no c/o pain, and VS were stable...

    SweettartRN replied to SweettartRN's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Thanks everyone. I feel better after having slept on it for a night. I also realized that much worse things have happened than this before, not to me necessarily, but to other nurses. We can't prevent...

    I would do a chargeback on my credit card, and explain that there was no help, and they never sent the order. What a

  7. Took NCLEX-PN at 9:30 today

    SweettartRN posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I am surprised. The computer (as I predicted) shut off at 85 questions. No surprises. No calculations. A few SATA, and a lot of prioritizing. I was expecting the staff to be brisk and rude, but...

  8. Took NCLEX-PN at 9:30 today

    SweettartRN replied to SweettartRN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I used both Qbank from Kaplan and Saunders. I just did questions, and only really went over things like lab values and such which was good for me, because a lot of my questions were what would you do...

  10. Took NCLEX-PN at 9:30 today

    SweettartRN replied to SweettartRN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Thanks all. I just wanted to add: I think it is absolutely RIDICULOUS that they can't spit out that yes you passed or no you failed immediately. All of this psychological waiting is nonsense. That...

  11. I HATE my first job as a nurse...

    SweettartRN posted a topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    This is NOT what I signed up for! When I originally took the position, my first as a nurse, I was made charge nurse of an Alzheimer's/Dementia unit. I was told that "change needed to happen" and that...

    SweettartRN replied to SweettartRN's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Just wanted to say THANKS again everyone. This last week was an absolute nightmare, but I did land another job at a skilled nursing facility with a month long orientation and training program.... and...

  13. I HATE my first job as a nurse...

    SweettartRN replied to SweettartRN's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Thanks everyone. You've helped to confirm my gut feeling about this. I will stick it out, but search like a demon in the meantime for something better and more

  14. I HATE my first job as a nurse...

    SweettartRN replied to SweettartRN's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I have my background in Management, to start. Several years worth. They felt that, along with my newly acquired skills would somehow magically transform everything. No offense taken. I feel exactly...

  15. why?

    SweettartRN replied to LiliyaRN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    You're all right; it is her decision to do with it as she pleases. However, the method of her choosing has personally been a turn off to me, and therefore, I am not interested in it, I was simply...

  16. why?

    SweettartRN replied to LiliyaRN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I was kind of wondering this myself. It seems that it would be more beneficial to have "The Plan" posted here so that everyone can benefit rather than through PM's and other

    SweettartRN replied to SweettartRN's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Thanks everyone! I start Tuesday and I am REALLY nervous. I am still not entirely sure of what a day to day expectation of the job is. The place that I will be working for is so laid back that they...

    So after I take my boards (LPN) next month I plan to enroll immediately in Excelsior. I already have my associates in Business Management. How long will the program take from there? What can I expect?...

    SweettartRN posted a topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Starting next week I will start sending my resume out, as I will be eligible for the NCLEX as of December 19th. However, a lot of the places around where I live won't hire Graduate Practical...
