Had anyone heard of or have any experience with nightingale college. My employer if giving me a free ride for my RN to this school but I have never heard of them. Any help would be awesome. Thanks all

Your going to keep seeing LPN's being pushed to the nursing homes from Acute care settings. Even now I currently working in a LTC facility and 8 years ago when I started LPN's were everywhere on the floor, even holding charge positions. Now the way the reimbursement is going the charge positions are now being filled with RN's to get the RN staffing up for the 5 star ratings. My suggestion go straight for your RN! Good luck with whatever you decide.

Thanks those are some good ideas that I am going to look into. It has taken many year to get into the position that I have and I miss the direct care with the residents. I bothers me that they do the same activities over and over again so these ideas will help to create some new activities thanks alot

Looking for valentines day activities that people have done with residents on V- day, my activities director uses the same thing over and over so im looking for some new ideas

Nursing is not something that you can expect to know what you are doing within 2 days or 2 weeks. When i fist started in long term care after i finished school i was oriented to the position for 6 weeks. And in that 6 weeks i learned about the position that i was assuming and alot about assessments, paper work and all the other things that go along with it. I can tell you that after 4 years there are things that i still dont know and things that i am still learning. Dont expect to know everything in a few days or in a few weeks. Nursing is one of those beautiful careers in which everyday is a learning expreience. Good luck and enjoy your career.

I'm 19 and i am an LPN and for some reason all the residents think i am a nurses aid! haha

I passed my nclex with 205 questions so im sure you did fine!!

Sounds like she passed to me!! i Know how she feels i also look the LPN boards about a month ago

I have a few nursing study nclex books but none of them seem to be hitting the subject and i failed my first nclex and i feel like nothing i looked at in any of those books helped me out at all. So i was wondering what worked for you if you could let me know. Thanks

I am also talking my nclex for the second time next month and i am very nervous too i hope everyone the best i know how i felt going into it the first time!!! goodluck

I took my test today in pennsylvania and my computer shut off at 88 questions. I looked on this website today and heard about the trick, and tried it and it's letting me go the whole way to the payment and i was wondering if it might be too early to work because i only took it at 8am this morn. Somebody please help i am a nervous wreak and i need some advice before i explode!

I just took my Pn nclex today and i had 54 SATA questions!!! i'm freaking out too!!! GOODLUCK

I took my LPN boards today and when i got done with the 88th question the computer shut off, i here that alot of them shut off at 85 but never 88, and i am really worried, does anybody have a similar experience and pass or fail let me know please!! Thanks
