    shortscrubbs108 replied to sasha08046's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Wow! In MO we registered to take the NCLEX ourselves. I graduated in Dec and the next test time was the following Feb. Luckily we can get online 2 days later and learn our results! I can't imagine...

  2. Career Advice

    shortscrubbs108 replied to jalligood's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I don't regret becoming an LPN. It was a good way to go for me as I needed to start making money. And actually, I really love my job and am kind of wondering if I want to get my RN. It will take me...

  3. Which type of environment can I work in that doesn't require very much bowel care?

    shortscrubbs108 replied to studentnurse1989's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    This was a question that never got asked while I was in nursing school because one of the first things we were told is "every nurse is a poop nurse!" Well, I disagree. Honestly, if you don't want to...

  8. just want to ask..

    shortscrubbs108 replied to malicexmirage's topic in General Nursing

    I found being a CNA/PCA extremely helpful! It's not a different field (not to offend the person who said that, but that doesn't make sense) being a nurse aid, even 2 years ago, I learned so much...

  9. Can an LPN/LVN discontinue an IV?

    shortscrubbs108 replied to Miss_3Bb's topic in General Nursing

    There's already a post from my state, but yes I have discontinued IVs. It probably depends on state, but if there is a problem, it needs to be stopped. Did your lpn course include iv

    shortscrubbs108 replied to digitalgirl20's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    I work with a CMA in our clinic, she is great, she does a lot of the same tasks I do, for example calling patients with results, basic triage, injections etc...her doc calls her his "nurse" and it...

    shortscrubbs108 replied to tlackey's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    I used to work on peds in a hospital, we kept stickers in the med room, spongebob, dora, blues clues, etc...we would just ask which was their favorite and go chose a sticker and bring it to them. They...

  12. LPN in Dr. office???

    shortscrubbs108 replied to mermaidunderwater's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    dr.s office is easier as far as it is more laid back, great hours, one-on-one patient time. dont assume its all a piece of case, there are frustrations, but typically easier to keep up with...

  13. Career Advice?

    shortscrubbs108 replied to CocoChanel's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    It may be different as I am an LPN, but my first job was in a clinic (which I've now been at for over a year) they offered a new grad program and I took it because I knew that I didn't want to work in...

  17. Very interested in clinic nursing (N.E. Ohio Area) Advice?!

    shortscrubbs108 replied to sunshine711's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    Hi, I am an LPN in Mo. I love my clinic job! Even as an lpn, the pay difference is significant but its worth it to me. I work in pulm, we have 7 docs who each have their own nurse or MA, its up to the...

  18. NCLEX PN

    shortscrubbs108 replied to katrenia04's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Good luck. When I took mine a year ago, it seemed like I had tons of select all that apply questions, which I hate too! I think I had 87-90 questions, don't remember exactly, but it seemed too soon to...

  19. Maybe I should rethink career choice :(

    shortscrubbs108 replied to jodajean's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I agree with the above posts, don't be too quick to give up nursing all together. There are so many areas in nursing. I myself love my office job, I use my knowledge and nursing judgment triaging...

  20. what experience is needed for a LPN?

    shortscrubbs108 replied to msJoJo's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    This was my experience, I worked as a cna while going to lpn school, then stayed there after getting my license which started me out about $1.00/hr more than I would have. But I am still at the bottom...

    shortscrubbs108 replied to shortscrubbs108's topic in LPN to RN

    Thank you everyone for the replies and advice. I talked with my supervisor (who I also adore btw) and she said that even if there wasn't an Rn opening in the clinic, I could still keep my current...

  23. cna or lpn

    shortscrubbs108 replied to shortcake17's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    While in lpn school, my CNA experience helped immensely during fundamentals, which was when I was still extremely nervous anyway! I would never call cna class a waste of time. You may need a way to...

  24. New Grad LPN NO training!!!!!!

    shortscrubbs108 replied to Cass1531's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I don't know what the job market is like in your area, but I would not stay in a place where I was uncomfortable. My opinion is to stick it out while searching for a different job. As a new grad I was...

  25. Afraid as a new nurse

    shortscrubbs108 replied to LPN_thts_M3's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Just breathe, I have been nursing about a year. I worked as a cna first and remember thinking how much stuff the nurses seemed to have. I was also shy and quiet at my job. For me it took a couple of...
