I'd have to say you are absolutely right about the hospital food chain in small-middle sized towns. I don't even work in nursing yet. I am in admissions and I see some of the worst eating of young co-workers that could possibly happen. And it happens...

Hi there. I haven't been to this forum in forever. I used to come here all of the time when I was in nursing school back in 2005. I was in an lpn program. I was making good grades but felt that I lacked in the clinical aspect of things. I don't have...

Thank you all for listening and for your advice. I just wanted to update and say that I have decided to go for it. I talked to the Director of Nursing today and I don't need to take the lpn pre-req's again. I just have to re-test for the admissions a...

Yes, I took a 2 year medical billing and coding program. I have an associate degree of applied science. I haven't gotten a job in the field yet so I don't know about pay for sure. I live in Ky and our wage scale here seems much lower anyway. Our teac...

I'm graduating next week with a degree in Billing and Coding. It's not a bad field to be in if you like looking things up...a lot. I think of it as almost detective work. Good luck in whatever you try.

Thank you jenni for stopping to answer my question and for lending an ear. I'm thinking that I just may give it a try :)

Thank you do much for your response and for sharing your response. I bet you are wonderful at what you do, and yes I'm sure there are clinical nurses that are thankful that there are those like you who enjoy the administrative sided of things :)

Has anyone taken the Psychological Services Bureau entrance exam for RN's? I'm in an LPN program now but am testing Monday for the RN entrance exam. You're allowed to take it twice and I've taken it once already. I did well on everything but the verb...

I am having the same problem with my son. He will be 4 in February. However he won't pee in the potty either. He refuses to even sit on the potty. I've tried everything I can think of, he seems genuinely scared of the potty. I even went out and bough...

I actually drive an hour and a half one way to attend a cc when there is a university 10 min from my house. The cc has one of the best nursing programs in this area. But I don't care what naysayers think about it, ie my extended family (especially th...

I'd say it will get better for you. I'm starting my 2nd semester of my LPN program tomorrow, and I absolutely HATED clinicals at first. Actually hate is an understatement. I almost quit the program because of it. But I hung in there and they most cer...

I'm in an LPN Program and we have had a Geriatrics class this first semester. I'm really surprised that your curriculum did not include Geriatrics classes. Good luck to you.

Ummm...that would be a big no! I don't like them. :chair: I don't like clinicals here or there. I do not like clinicals with green eggs and ham, I do not like them sam I am. :barf01:

I really need some sound advice that is not clouded as my own is. I'm an LPN student half way through the first semester. Clinicals just began last week. I'm making good grades but I also suffer from panic attacks/anxiety that have become worse in th...

Thank you to everyone who responded to this thread. I appreciate each and everyone of your words of encouragement. I didn't go to clinicals today either. But I did talk to the Director of Nursing and let her know exactly what is going on. It was emba...

I am going for the LPN right now because I want to be able to work asap. So the career ladder option is a better fit for me. I hope to begin RN prereq's immediately after getting my LPN though and then take RN courses the following year. All of this ...

It does feel weird that mid-terms are next week. They are here for me too. 8 weeks down, 8 weeks to go to complete this semster! Yay! Good luck to you! I'm personally praying for Christmas break to hurry up and get here myself. Come on december!

i'm now at the end of 5 weeks in. i still stand by my statement after week 1....which was.... it's doable and even fun (in a semi-sadistic way,) but just to clarify,my poor exhausted brain is on overload!

Good Luck!

Hey, glad you're doing good!:) Well I'm doing a bit better with the math, and yea I do just think it's anxiety cause I can do it, I just don't do well on math tests. Any other test in any other subject I'm fine. I"m making passing score, no danger ...

Hang in there. It takes a while to get adjusted to the critical thinking style of nursing which is so unlike any others tests that you have taken in the past. I'm only in my 4th week of NS but I relate cause I'm having to study a lot too. But like ...

The responsibilities of both will vary from state to state. It is wise to visit your state's Board of Nursing web site to discover the scope of practice. The LVN/LPN usually works under the supervision of an RN, physician, or dentist. However a LVN/...

yea, count me in for the walking nursing school dead!:chair: it's a matter of learning to prioritize all this reading, assignments, math and children, family etc. i'm hoping i'll find a comfortable flow for myself soon and hopefully i'll adjust so...
