    wifeandmomoftwo posted a topic in General Nursing

    I'm scheduled to graduate LPN school in late August. I'm starting to look at jobs. I'd like to work as a tech or an aide for a few weeks at a place that is willing to give me a position as a nurse...

  6. Ad says 1yr experience. Can a new grad apply anyway?

    wifeandmomoftwo replied to wifeandmomoftwo's topic in General Nursing

    I'm willing to work LTC but REALLY want to be a tech/aide first so I will know the patients by name by the time I pass meds :) If I could pick anything I'd like to get either clinic or dialysis work...

  7. Home health as first job?

    wifeandmomoftwo posted a topic in General Nursing

    My LPN class will be complete in the fall. I'd like to try home health after I pass boards. It would be ideal since it is done during the day (I want to go back right away for my RN). Anyway, I've...

  8. Staying put

    wifeandmomoftwo replied to blessedmomma247's topic in General Nursing

    I understand where you're coming from! I'm 29 with two kids. I'm supposed to finish my LPN in August. I want to go back for my RN. My interests are the same as yours. I struggle with weather or...

    wifeandmomoftwo replied to LookForward's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks so much for that report

  10. For all of you Nurses out there...

    wifeandmomoftwo replied to aaaa's topic in General Nursing

    I have to admit I don't know anyone who will tell you that nursing school (clinical) is easy. Standards are high (as they should be) and everything is new. Throw in nerves, instructors...

  11. Young and jaded.

    wifeandmomoftwo replied to apocatastasis's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think this is cheesy. I LOVE this. I'm no Mother Teresa either but I do love some of her

  12. For all of you Nurses out there...

    wifeandmomoftwo replied to aaaa's topic in General Nursing

    I'll be done in August and I'm feeling much the same as you. I've been so anxious in front of my instructors the whole time and now I wish they could go with me to my job! One of the things I pray...

  13. Home health as first job?

    wifeandmomoftwo replied to wifeandmomoftwo's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks everyone that's why I was asking. I've done really well in school. I'm also smart enough to know that I've got a l LONG way to go. Just trying to figure out a way to manage going back to...

  14. Starting LPN Program in August

    wifeandmomoftwo replied to bestcr's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Congrats to you! I'll finish my LPN program in August (Lord willing). My advice is to know your stuff inside and out when you sit down to take one of those tests. They are multiple choice (in most...

  15. ~Earning your LPN~

    wifeandmomoftwo replied to believeallispossible's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I certainly hope it is! I'll be done with mine in August and have spent the last nine months working hard. I plan to continue on and get my RN after passing boards and landing a job as an LPN. I...

  16. Advice needed. I don't know how to fix this.

    wifeandmomoftwo posted a topic in General Students

    I'm a half way through my LPN course. I've got the best grades in my class. I have some serious anxiety issues that are causing me problems in clinical. I have done ok until this last week. It was...

  17. Advice needed. I don't know how to fix this.

    wifeandmomoftwo replied to wifeandmomoftwo's topic in General Students

    Thanks for all the additional replies! Since this happened I had my end of the trimester evaluation with both of my instructors. This really helped. They gave me a lot of reassurance. The...

  18. How can I manage my anxiety on the floor?

    wifeandmomoftwo replied to cherubhipster's topic in General Nursing

    I have the same problem. I'm still a student like you. I handle having multiple tasks to get done at the same time pretty well with the exception of two pts needing assist to the bathroom at the...

  19. Can a pillow hurt?

    wifeandmomoftwo posted a topic in General Students

    Today in clinical I had a patient get snippy with me because after we changed her sheets we were trying to get her in a comfortable position and I laid a pillow on top of the ankle of the leg on which...

  20. Can a pillow hurt?

    wifeandmomoftwo replied to wifeandmomoftwo's topic in General Students

    Thanks for the response. Maybe it did hurt worse than I realized. It just seems like no matter how hard I try someone finds something to complain about. I have a hard time staying positive....

  21. Pharm: PLEASE HELP

    wifeandmomoftwo replied to kl1730's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    In short Google them like this "list of the most common antibiotics". Continue with all the categories and learn as many as you can. I think this would have been a big help to me had I done it...

  22. What's the most complicated thing about being a nurse?

    wifeandmomoftwo replied to Kimberlyjoy's topic in General Students

    There is nothing about being (from what I've seen) or becoming a nurse that is easy. I'm almost done with LPN school. Think about it. You must be able to define the medical terms that doctors use....

  23. Are females attracted to male nurses....or just really laugh at the males doing this?

    wifeandmomoftwo replied to mpolo's topic in General Students

    I don't think you'll have a problem at all. I'm married and in the nursing program. There are guys in there and they are quite popular if you know what i

  24. Advice needed. I don't know how to fix this.

    wifeandmomoftwo replied to wifeandmomoftwo's topic in General Students

    Thank you for your comments. Her comments about my grades DID increase my anxiety in a huge way. Partly because I already know I'm better at the academic part of nursing. So what she was saying was...

  25. Littmann Stethoscopes~Need advice

    wifeandmomoftwo replied to CrazierThanYou's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I have one. It doesn't get heavy around my neck over the coorifice of the day. I can hear ok through it. I was happy with it until I made the mistake of borrowing a classmate's stethoscope (Littmann...
