    L8RRN replied to raindrop's topic in General Nursing

    Your fellow students are familiar with her personality and not in the situation and they are telling you to let it go...I would listen to them. IF you just really want to talk to her, make an...

    L8RRN replied to Delta_Notch's topic in General Students

    L8RRN replied to sc0rp!0n's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

  5. Frustrated

    L8RRN replied to newLPN2009's topic in General Nursing

    I have heard stories about it being hard to find employment in NYC. Good luck! If the hospital that uses PCAs also hires LPNs, it may be your way in the door. You know, make contacts, impress them,...

  8. will you pass if your last nclex question is incorrect?

    L8RRN replied to hopefullme's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Everyone gets random questions that don't count towards your results but are given so they can evaluate them for future tests. Perhaps your last one was one of those and didn't even count. Try to...

  9. FINALLY....A JOB!!!!

    L8RRN replied to MauraRN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Congrats! It feels great, huh? I started my first RN job yesterday (orientation is sooo boring but I can't complain). At least you can get experience and move to full time when available. Good...

  10. My Preceptor Hates Me (need advice)

    L8RRN replied to 09NewGrad's topic in General Nursing

    Sorry your preceptor is less than helpful. Remember that you are moving on to someone else and it is time to start fresh and make a new first impression. I would give it more time before you decide...

    L8RRN replied to ougreene's topic in First Year After Licensure

    L8RRN posted a topic in General Nursing

    L8RRN replied to L8RRN's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you so much for the input! I am excited but nervous and know it will take time to develop a system. Folding the paper to make the sections sounds good and making a margin for pending sounds...

    L8RRN replied to OzarksMama's topic in Online Distance Learning

  24. Whats the best online school ?not sure i trust them

    L8RRN replied to kendel's topic in Online Distance Learning

    You don't cancel the FAFSA. If you decide to go to a different school, you just go back in later and change the school. Just because you may have sent it to Kaplan, doesn't mean you HAVE to go...
