I don't have any advice for you as I'm not a nurse YET, but I just wanted to tell you I am so sorry you are stuck in such a bad situation! I hope it gets better for you and some wise words of wisdom come soon!

Stop using the excuse that you are a bad test taker when you get low grades on your tests, you have no common sense or compassion either. Those two together mean you have nothing going for you in this field. "No the finger condom is not used to get a...

I have a Littman Master classic and a Classic II S.E. Both AWESOME!!! I actually have working in a scrub supply store for the past three years while in nursing school. We have two ultrascopes in our store, both have been there for the whole three yea...

Good Luck!!!! I'm a huge believer in "Everything happens for a reason." Not doing well in the ICU interview just meant that there was something much better lined up for you! Sometimes we just have to wait a little to see that!

I'm so sorry to hear that *Hugs* My husband was looking into lasik and is most likely not a candidate either because he has a very high RX too. He keeps putting off the consultation because he keeps having the feeling they will tell him the same th...

Yes I have seen it, it's a great movie (not under the circumstances of why it was made) but it was done very well. We had to watch it in Ethics class and do some projects on it. I remember the spinal tap seen but I don't remember it bothering me ??? ...

Congrats! I too regret the decision to start...Iive been smoke free for 3 years after smoking for 11!

LMAO!!! If that was the case you could call me the "poop whisperer"

You definately hit the nail on the head. I am a student nurse about to graduate. Before I even started nursing school I was sure I would be destined for pediatrics. Because the babies and kids are soooo cute! That is until I did a clinical rotation o...

I am comtemplating going to Excelsior College. I think this forum is great and have been reading everyone's experiences. I was just wondering how long it took people to get through the LPN to RN transition. I thought about going the traditional route...

Yes, the whole meeting with the two guys who came to the "very small" conference from TCN - and when I say small, there were only 4 people there. It just made me uncomfortable and they just about wouldn't let me leave until I set up an appointment to...

Definately NOT going through college network!!

Thanks everyone for your replies, I am also very thankful for this forum. I went to a meeting with The College Network and they told me the only way to do the LPN-RN transition was through them and that it would be much more easier that way because t...

That is wonderful news, your family will continue to be in my prayers.

On my Maternity clinical rotation I had a teen mom as my pt. When I entered her room in the morning she was standing over the bassinet with a worried look on her face. She said she thought something was wrong with the baby, of course I panicked and d...

I too am in LPN school. Looking to start a transition program soon after as well. From what I have heard also it that LPN's are pretty useless except in LTC facilities. It makes me nervous. At our local hospitals most LPN's just go around and do vita...

Congratulations!!!!!!

I'm a student nurse, about to graduate. I quit 3 years ago after smoking for almost 11. I feel so much better now, able to breath, taste food etc. After being in clinicals around so many "smoking" related illnesses I wonder why cigarettes are still l...

Good Luck!

Can't wait to hear how it went since I'm considering EC. Good Luck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OK, So I am about to graduate with my LPN. I plan on going on to my RN. Right now I feel very unprepared and I have many nurses I have shadowed tell me that I know nothing and I need to wait until I start working until I actually learn anything about...

I just recently "joined" this nursing forum. I think it is the best place for advice etc. that I have found regarding nursing. Since I have joined I have read so many "HORROR" stories from students starting their first job, first year etc. Even thoug...

HAHAHA Wow!!! I don't think any answer could beat yours because it's the truth (and the best). Thanks for making me feel a little better haha. *hugs*

No kidding about avoiding the drama!!!! If you read any of my previos posts...oh my.!!! I have been on the dean's list the whole time I have been in school. My school for some reason enforces that GPA is not evertyhing, etc. So a bunch of people who ...

I bought a pocket size book for clinicals, and it is loaded with more than just labs, not sure if you were looking for strictly labs, but it is called "RNotes".
