  2. Am I overreacting?

    Pegasus65 replied to annaRNC's topic in General Nursing

    I just wish I had more nurses like you during MY clinicals. Many of the nurses I encountered were extremely rude and acted like they hated students being around, much less trying to teach them...

  3. ATI exams???

    Pegasus65 replied to shelbee1084's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Hi Shelbee, The school I attended had ATI exams. If you passed the mental health I doubt seriously you will have any problem with your upcoming OB and fundamental exam. We lost a lot of students from...

  4. Cant keep a watch working!

    Pegasus65 replied to CNA2day's topic in General Nursing

    Watches won't run on me. I can keep one in my pocket and it seems to be okay, but if it is on my wrist within a couple of hours it begins losing time and if I don't take it off it quits running for...

  5. How many hours a night do you spend studying?

    Pegasus65 replied to s81chubbs's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I studied for a couple of hours each night... Long cram sessions never worked for me. I couldn't retain the information that way. Have a great

  6. It's tax time again

    Pegasus65 replied to sasha2lady's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I have used Turbotax, Tax Act, and Taxslayer and found all three programs to be great. I have prepared our taxes for years even when my husband was self employed. A tax prep place charges a small...

  7. Should I stay or should I go?

    Pegasus65 replied to Lamie's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I definitely understand the desire to further clinical skills, but not sure I would want to give up a job that you so obviously like! Have a great

    Pegasus65 posted a topic in LPN, LVN Corner

  9. need your opinion

    Pegasus65 replied to birdietiel's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Hi Birdie, First off... don't let anyone make you feel guilty about working part-time. That is YOUR choice NOT theirs and it is no one's business but your own what days you work. If folks want to work...

  10. Really struggling with first job in nursing home

    Pegasus65 replied to Pegasus65's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    We had a resident have to be sent out on this past Saturday. The LPN I was training with had me continue to do the medications while she did the paperwork. I did get to see some of it though. I will...

  11. Really struggling with first job in nursing home

    Pegasus65 replied to Pegasus65's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Kitkat, I was wondering how your new job was going? So far this new position seems to be much better. While of course it is still much to take in, at least the meds are where they are supposed to be...

  12. Nursing for staffing company W2 or 1099

    Pegasus65 replied to duke1010's topic in General Nursing

    With a 1099 you are totally responsible for all your own taxes. Basically you are self-employed. Be careful with these, as you can wind up owing a ton of money at the end of the year because of...

    Pegasus65 replied to Pegasus65's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Wow Kit, Guess someone is looking out for us because I ALSO received an offer today that I believe I am going to take. I go in Thursday to fill out their paperwork and then will begin orientation....

  15. Really struggling with first job in nursing home

    Pegasus65 replied to Pegasus65's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Hey again kit, One of my friends is still working at the place I quit too. BUT from what she has told me it is totally different than the hall I was on. For one thing she doesn't have to go on an...

  16. Really struggling with first job in nursing home

    Pegasus65 replied to Pegasus65's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Hi Kit, I can understand 100% how you feel. Since I let that job go I have even wondered if I am going to be able to work in LTC because if ALL places are like the one I was in, I refuse to do it. In...

  19. Set-back with the LPN BON AGAIN

    Pegasus65 replied to DogWmn's topic in Georgia Nursing

    DogWmn, I can truly understand your ire. I live in GA and went through the same problems with the BON here a few months ago over a DUI that happened 26 years ago when I was 18. Out of all the...

  20. Really struggling with first job in nursing home

    Pegasus65 replied to Pegasus65's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I really hated that my first job experience turned out this way, but I am not sorry I let it go. It was more than just challenging it was a terrible environment. The longer I was there, the more I...

  21. Really struggling with first job in nursing home

    Pegasus65 replied to Pegasus65's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Well unfortunately I decided to give my PRN job up today. I really hated to do it, but it simply was not the place for me. Even though I hate feeling like a quitter I know in my heart I gave it the...

  22. Questions about working PRN

    Pegasus65 posted a topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Hi everyone, I was hoping some of the more "seasoned" LPNs could give me some info on some of my questions before I set up an orientation with what I am hoping may be a very good job prospect. This is...

  23. Saunders Comprehensive NCLEX Cd Rom-READ PLEASE

    Pegasus65 replied to sophie<3's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I definitely did use the CD, as it had a lot of different tests on it. The book is quite helpful also, but would recommend you get the CD too. Good luck on your

  24. Questions about working PRN

    Pegasus65 replied to Pegasus65's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I am well aware that the nursing field is 24/7 and I fully intend to work the days I am scheduled unless it is absolutely impossible. I just don't plan on having my life taken over again (as it was...

  25. Really struggling with first job in nursing home

    Pegasus65 replied to Pegasus65's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Hey Cali, I am definitely not signing anything else that I didn't do. If they aren't happy with that I will hit the road then and not wait. I wanted to give this job a fair shake and not be a quitter,...
