  6. RN student nurse, taking NCLEX-PN???

    earthflower replied to crazin01's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I don't see why you couldn't become an LPN. I suggest you call your state nursing board and ask them, I'm sure they have dealt with situations like this before. Good

    earthflower replied to Couture_Honey's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I am a new graduate in KY and I just got offered a hospital position for $13. It's 3rd shift too, so the pay doesn't seem at all great. But I have no experience, so I'm guessing this is normal? I...

    earthflower replied to lpndana's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Hey there girl! Congratulations on graduating! I'm a new LPN myself and was wondering if I would ever get a job too. I don't have any nursing experience besides clinicals but I do have experience...

  10. Phasing out LPN's.

    earthflower replied to BJ, LPN's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I live in Kentucky, and I'm actually noticing a trend of phasing "in" LPNs in hospitals. I just graduated and interviewed with a major hospital today, and not only do they have around 12 new openings...

    earthflower replied to indiananurse's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know what kind of experiences Indiananurse had, but I do not recommend them either. I just graduated from the LPN program and there were a grand total of 3, yes 3, of us in the graduating...

  12. Problems with Rn's in clinicals

    earthflower replied to bonnieL123's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, that's true. I can really see both sides of this issue. This can also be very, very frustrating to students as well. I finished up my last clinical rotation at a hospital a couple of months...

  13. Problems with Rn's in clinicals

    earthflower replied to bonnieL123's topic in General Nursing

    OMG that is completely outrageous! She will get a rude awakening when she gets out of school and treats co-workers like that. I wonder where that leaves me... I'm graduating with my LPN and plan...

    earthflower replied to trish820's topic in General Nursing

    I couldn't find an RN program in my city that didn't have a super long waiting list, so I'm attending a school that does the LPN-RN bridge. I'm really happy with my choice because I'll be able to...
