How has it been? Did you decide the ICU? I am too a new graduate going into the ICU. I was however an LPN for a few years. I am still considered a new nurse and like you I am going to the ICU. I know a lot of people who said not to go because it's too much for new grads so I am curious to see how it's been going for you. It's been like 2 months. Are you loving it? How exciting. I'm going to a MICU at a level one trauma hospital although most trauma will go to the SICU. I'm extremely excited but also nervous. Share your experience please!

I would like the worksheet also if anybody has it.

I would call the SICU and talk to the manager that interview you and explain to her exactly what you explained to us. Tell her your goals, your school choices, and that you were offered a position in the MICU that you didn't want to turn down unless you are able to come to the SICU. She/He will understand. If they wanted to offer you the position they will be thrilled. Trust me. Communication is always key, plus it looks professional on your character. Make sure you also explain your goals to the MICU manager as well that way when you decline her offer she understands why and will respect you for following your dreams and being honest.

I'm a new grad in Michigan and starting pay is 27.50 hospital base. It's really based on your area and cost of living.

I'm getting ready to start my Lpn to RN program and my school allows me to test out of a pharmacology class by passing the NLN pharm test. I don't know anything about this test and I can't seem to find a book to practice please any help? I have like 3 weeks to study. Can anyone give me any insight of what I need to study!!!

I can't find anything about it on this forum? I'm an LPN-RN student and was hoping to find some other stories about it. Thank you for your input I'll try you tube for some videos. Thanks.

I am just wondering if anyone has used this website? I have read so many different things good things of course but I'm still scared. It's very expensive. His name is Mike and he is like an online teacher for nursing students. He supposedly helps all students increase their grades by breaking down the "important" things on all different types of topics. I mean I you tube some of his videos and they are good but to buy the complete package for $14.95 x 24 months for a grand total of $360 is ALOT! Just wondering if anyone out there has used him for their nursing student needs?

?????. It's so exciting!

I feel your pain. I am in an extremely difficult Patho class now. Everyday I want to pull my hair out. It's so discouraging because I feel like I get the information but the way my teacher test is very difficult and it is not NCLEX style which I am use to. I am literally just passing the class and I study everyday all day. But I am determined to make it out of this class. So I say to you don't give up! I know its hard but you can teach yourself. Idk what book you use but try getting patho made incredible easy or the nclex book and study questions in there also if the book has evolve utilize it. There are many resources out here. Don't give up you have come so far!

Congrats! ????

Thank you

You will get it... Keep us posted! Praying for good news for you. It was an awesome feeling when I read the words CONGRATULATIONS!

Thank you!

I have record my letter and I have been accepted to SC4 Lpn to RN bridge program. Anyone else out there been accepted and ready to start in January?

I'm so excited! I have been an LPN for about 2.5 years now so I know how crazy school can get but for some reason I'm so nervous and anxious to start. I'm taking a DA class a Patho class and a Advance assessment class now, so I'm getting a taste of what look forward to. IT HAS BEEN A TOUGH SEMESTER!
