Being offended is useless and in no way productive. I had surgical rotations in school, not that I need to explain that. If they wanted a CST, they would have posted for it, not an LPN. Useless post is useless.

I want to apply for this job. My dream is to work in OB. My only concern is item #1. I've been an a LPN in peds and LTC for 3 years. My only surgical exp is clinicals. I have full faith I'm competent. I asked a surg tech friend about the knowledge I...

Took the TEAS V. I got a 78. I thought oh, no. That's awful. I hadn't studied a lick, so it's better than I'd expected...for not knowing what to expect. When I told the admissions office I got a 78, they're jaws nearly hit the floor. Apparently, the ...

Hey folks, Just wondering if anyone had any idea what the waitlist is at DU. I'll be going for my LPN. Of the gen. ed courses, I have 13 of the 24 credits that can transfer in. Leaving me with only my A&P courses and Health 101 to take. I'll eith...

I completed DU-Midland LPN program this summer. During the middle of our year, they changed some of the planning and "synced" their coursework with the Warren campus. It put a delay on getting grades back, and it also meant that the tests were writte...

After taking the NCLEX, how long did it take the MI BON to post your license numbers?

Thank you! I test Wednesday and it appears I have a job waiting :)

I heard someone say once that for the first year of anyone's nursing career, they should come home and review/research the diseases they treated at work that day. Your texts are a great reference to refer to even after graduation.

You should look into your Fundamentals or Med Surg book, as CHF s/s should have been covered at some point along your LPN education.. Edit: A&P isn't going to teach you s/s of disease processes.

Gratz!

Know the hormones, where they come from, and when. Always the hormones.

I can't believe I overlooked that. Wow, thank you. What other questions should I be asking?

Hi folks, God willing I will graduate and become licensed this fall as an LPN. I LOVE my school, but it's expensive. I'm looking at getting my RN at a community college and then do a BSN completion program before pursuing my DNP. Anyway. What are s...

I am only halfway through my first semester, and I left clinical in tears, called my advisor, and now have an appointment with the department head/one of my instructors on Monday, because I am 27 years old and being BULLIED in COLLEGE. Not only that...

First of all, it is what it is. I've worked in social services with children for 10 years. And while I agree it's often a frivolously used term, bullying is bullying and I am not here to discuss semantics. Secondly, I did not leave clinical site ear...

How do you do that? Really. I do not know how to assertively address this passive-aggressive b.s. tactfully. I honestly somehow missed that lesson.

I am IN LOVE with the bright hair color trend. And I'm dying to (no pun intended) to try it out. I start clinicals next month, so I will wait to see and follow their protocols. I am wondering, however, what the policies are where you work regarding a...

School issued scrubs. Black pants (which we could buy elsewhere, but the school sells 'em very cheap @ $15/pair). Black scrub tops with red piping. School logo patch we have to adhere appropriately to the arm of our scrub shirt. And our lab coat if w...

I start nursing school in 16 days. Due to Medicaid changes, my caseload at work got cut...and I'm now working a different job...for $8/hour... nearly half what I was making. Boyfriend lost his job today (we live together, finances are combined). We w...

I start LPN clinicals in September at Davenport University in Michigan. Mondays NURS Fundamentals Lecture Pharmacology Tuesdays Fundamentals Clinical placements Wednesdays A+P II A+P II Lab I will also be working. I hear about people in school from ...

I feel like you all are spending so much more time in class/clinicals than I have scheduled. Unless I'm seriously missing something, I believe my lecture/lab/clinical time is pretty short and isolated in comparison. The program is approved by the MI ...

For LPN?

There's no other community college within feasible driving distance a few days a week? Maybe check out some other schools policies. Maybe this is more of a school policy than anything else as a way to filter such a high number of applicants.

Anytime I tell someone I'm going for the LPN, their instant reaction is: WHY?!?!::snaggletooth:: THERE BE NO JOBS!!!-(!!! I've honestly lost my patience to deal with this. Because I want to. That's why. I half-snapped on a classmate last week becau...

I'm mostly talking about t-shirts, but if you have underwear recommendations I'm listening LOL I'm scrub-clueless... Anyway, I'm someone who's ALWAYS hot. I wear a 3x (and shopping for plus-size scrubs is meh), and I'm pretty much always sweating to ...
