You inspire me. I received my LPN license in 2005. My plan is to return to school early next year. My long term goal is to be a ARNP. I have worked in mental health for the last 6 years and can't imagine working in another area. So, I concerned ...

So how did you make out?

I think you are referring to the P.E.R.T. It's similar to boards; it gives questions already answered correctly. So, in the that respect, it actually helps you to pass.

I know this thread is a bit dated...but I am considering Miami Dade's bridge program. I would like to know if clinical rotations are still on weekends. Is psych rotatation weekdays/mornings? If so, what are the times? Thanks

Whenever, I wear scrubs in public I feel like a rock star...that's how much attention I get. Most people admire the salary attached to nursing. They assume you make this astronomical amount of money an hour...really funny to me. I do agree...someti...

Hi, I am returning to school this year...and I am torn between psychology and nursing. Currently, I'm a psych nurse, LPN, for the VA hospital Miami. I am stationed on PTSD...and I find my job very rewarding. After nearly 5 years of working on my f...

Thanks...I really appreciate ALL the feed back. You guys are the best...God Bless.

Thanks so much...will do.

Any one could be the target of a bully...but you should focus on what makes you so appealing to a manipulative personality. Have you been told your are too nice? Are you extremely compliant?

Hi, I want to return to school I have heard many things about all the schools offering the RN program, but I haven't heard a lot about Keiser except that it's expensive and that there is not a long waiting list like the other schools. If you are a...

Currently, I work for PHS, but on 11-19-06 they will no longer be in charge of my facility. CMS is one of the companies that may be taking over...I would like to know if any one can give me some info on this company. Do they pay well? How do you l...

Welcome to nursing...where everything is not always done by the book...that said . I don't agree with what this person did...but I know that nurses sometimes talk way too much. You stated that there is a "bit of bad blood" between the two of you......

"In fact working opposite shifts from my DH is probably the reason we are still married after all these years, lol. Try to make the best of it and enjoy the positives until you can find another shift." by Jules ...couldn't have said it better myself...

Nursing is not easy. I became a nurse because I felt that it was a good career. And after a while I came realize that it is also my calling. It is not somthing anyone should do because of the pay scale or the fact that its very much in demand. I sa...

Psych nursing is as easy as the type of unit one is working. I work in outpatient psych so it's not as difficult as inpatient or lockdown psych care. So, it depends on the unit.

Hi, I recently saw a job opening for a LPN/RN and the job was paying very well. I didn't realize that a LPN could make that much money and work in such a rewarding area of nursing. Well anyways... I was wondering if anyone could tell me how to go a...

Hi, currently I am working on a residential floor at the VA. It is comprised of a substance abuse unit, post traumatic stress disorder unit, and psyhcosocial unit. I float between the units, and they are all on the same floor. I don't pass medicat...

Bowel evacuations...I did it once don't look forward to doing it again.

Being too anxious is not a good thing. Anxious people most often end up in bad situations that they could very well have avoided. I hope you all the best, and there are plenty of opportunities for LPNs so don't give up and God Bless!

"First of all, I'm not sure why you would be considered qualified to run a unit as a new nurse." I agree I don't think that you are qualified for such a position. Clearly, they are desperate and it's understandable that you feel overwhelmed. I hope...

The amount of experience would depend on the type of floor or facility. The floor I'm working on doesn't require a lot of experience because the patients are not confined. However, if you worked in a crisis unit like say at a state ward or prison t...

"Recently, I feel excluded from my co-workers. I am quiet person but I have nothing wrong with people & my job. I overheard them talk behind my back about everything I did, said even if I don't like corn or ham. They joked like I am strange or so...

Currently, I am working on a psych floor and the job is so easy that the only thing I have to be concerned about is the supervisors. Some of them are petty...but the job is cool. I have been blessed in that I have been able to find very good jobs t...

Are you an introvert or extrovert? Apparently, it matters in nursing...I was approached by a supervisor, a new supervisor might I add, and told that I should be more like one of my extroverted co-workers. As you can imagine I was totally offended. ...
