  1. HELP!! My husband is killing my study schedule...

    DizzyLizzyNurse replied to ginmarada's topic in General Students

  2. HELP!! My husband is killing my study schedule...

    DizzyLizzyNurse replied to ginmarada's topic in General Students

    Yeah my ex and I were going to school at the same time at first. He flunked out of his English class (so basic that it didn't count for college credit). Then he had the gall to tell me that nursing...

    DizzyLizzyNurse replied to ginmarada's topic in General Students

    DizzyLizzyNurse replied to nlt284's topic in Online Distance Learning

    DizzyLizzyNurse replied to JBMmom's topic in General Students

    DizzyLizzyNurse replied to Back2Nursing09's topic in Nursing Career

  11. Hopeless New Grad

    DizzyLizzyNurse replied to Rojo2030's topic in General Nursing

  13. Did I Make the Right Decision (kinda long, sorry)

    DizzyLizzyNurse replied to WeirdNurseKelly's topic in Geriatric, LTC

  15. How much do you get paid?

    DizzyLizzyNurse replied to EILEEN456's topic in Ob/Gyn

    This is making me a little sad. I've been an LPN for 6 years and I make $19 at my LTC. I hope I start out at more than some of what people have been posting. I have one semester left in school for...

    DizzyLizzyNurse replied to WeirdNurseKelly's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Hang on....are you the supervisor for a building of 60 pts or are you the team leader, passing meds and doing txs for 60 pts? I work midnights as a charge nurse and am in charge of 43 pts, which can...

  19. What other careers did you consider?

    DizzyLizzyNurse replied to IHeartPeds87's topic in General Nursing

    I went to school to be an elementary school teacher. I, uh, didn't go to class much and dropped out. Then I got a job as a CNA because I could make more money doing that than anything else without a...

  20. Feeling worn out all the time

    DizzyLizzyNurse replied to hs2005's topic in General Nursing

    I also work midnights. I find that keeping a regular sleep schedule (I sleep when everyone else is at work, work when everyone else is asleep), using ear plugs and a sleep mask go a long way in not...

  21. What is a typical day like for an LPN?

    DizzyLizzyNurse replied to PaddyCake's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

  24. What can a Grad LPN (no license) do?

    DizzyLizzyNurse replied to nylpn2b's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I live in NY and worked as a GNP until I took my boards. I wasn't allowed to deal with narcs but other than that I could do everything. I got a raise once I was licensed. Only 1 girl that I worked...

    DizzyLizzyNurse replied to PaddyCake's topic in LPN, LVN Corner
