1. Being Asked to Give References for Someone You Don't Respect

   Brittanyk039 replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

   This happened to me before. I reluctantly agreed as I'm not one for confrontation. When they called to ask about the candidate, they did not ask for my opinion or anything like that. It was strictly like "did they work here from this time frame to th...

2. Im really confused???

   Brittanyk039 replied to sotochristine's topic in LPN/LVN

   I totally agree. I'm guessing maybe you are in Ohio? It's the same for me. Getting your LPN is not a bad thing! You can get a lot of experience while working and you CAN go back to school. There are many online LPN to RN programs out there.

3. More to being a LPN than LTC?....

   Brittanyk039 replied to CantWait2Nurse's topic in LPN/LVN

   Doing LTC when you first graduate as an LPN is a rite of passage. I don't want to be an OB nurse but I still had to take the class type thing. Where I'm from you can barely get an interview for any place if you don't have any experience so unless you...

6. Should I take a caregiver job?

   Brittanyk039 replied to jlwerley's topic in General Nursing

   You should def do it! I am currently a caregiver for MR/DD residents at a facility and I LOVE it. I think it can really help you determine if this is something that you really enjoy. We have nursing students come in all the time to help with our resi...

7. HELP! Bombed the HESI Entrance Test

   Brittanyk039 replied to alphadog0228's topic in HESI

   Do I need to know all of my conversions for the test? I am taking the entrance exam Friday March 5th. I didn't know if they would give me charts to do conversions like ounces and milliliters or do I need to have all of that memorized? I do have the e...
