I am a new grad (LPN) about to start a new job in a gynecology office. (No OB). I have had very little gyn experience as our local facilities would not allow students while they were getting their new EMR software. so sadly we missed out on a lot of ...

It's funny, they do know. because all they would tell me is that if I miss one more I will have to make it up at the end of the year. But they won't give me my exact hours. she has said she just won't tell us. Many of us have asked over and over. I d...

I was wondering if any of you have access to your clinical hours. If you asked your instructor would they tell you exactly how many hours you have, so you can keep track and make sure you have the required amount? this year I have had alot going on w...

is it normal to get so many views but zero comments? I am starting to think I have forum leprosy. is there something I could do differently? this seems to happen to me alot on this site.

so I only have a couple months left in my LPN program. This is the part where we go out and find out own Intern/preceptorships. I currently have two options that are basically a go, I just have to choose which one i want. that's the problem lol. one...

so a quick run down. just wanted opinions. 59 yr old male patient in ESRF comes into the ER. wife signs him in and describes that he is "finishing dialysis (home hemodialysis), rapid heart rate, feeling of fist in throat and constant burping." (that...

That really was the point of my post, was to understand better. Not too much to complain, it was just bad timing for me to post since I was still emotional. but I really appreciate everyone's opinion and experience. It really does help. triage is not...

sorry for not responding back yet. been quite busy and i am actually about to head out for clinicals. First i wanna say that I really appreciate your responses. I am used to forums where people just beat each other up, are down right mean, and make y...

oh drug cards. we actually only did a few last year, but then over the summer we had 65 to do (among other many summer assignments). They are a pain, but they are helpful! We were also not allowed to copy, paste, buy preprinted, and we had to do our ...

I totally get it. Keep striving for the best. But I was warned that in nursing school....a B is pretty much the norm. An "A" can be hard to come by. Celebrate your B's and keep striving for the A's, but do not beat yourself up. wish I could be more h...

Stress overload r/t not having ten clones of self to get everything done aeb insane rage against the pumching bag.

"let's take a vote; she picturing the doctor's face, or the patient's?"

Thank you so much! I love/hate school lol. I could not be happier with the path I'm on. I just get that occasional lapse where I feel inadequate or like this is taking forever to get to my dream. I can do this!! Thanks for the encouragememt!

I went through a four week CNA course back in March 2011. during that time I was accepted into a practical nursing program in which I now only have 9 months left, YAY! anyhoo, some of the girls from my CNA class got jobs pretty quickly in hospitals, ...

thank you, that's where I was thinking about putting it. I mean it does make sense lol. I have a unique set up to my resume. it's a little less traditional. :)

I have about 9 months left of LPN school. I have been keeping my resume up to date, because you never know when the perfect opportunity shows up. Anyhoo, I just went on a medical missions trip to Zambia, and I wanted to put that as a part of my resum...

any words of encouragement? anyone else ever feel this way?

Thank you so much for this post. I feel like such a sap, but this brought me a few tears. My father is on his fourth week of hemodialysis. He is fortunate enough to be able to do it at home, and he has an amazing nurse who is full of love and compass...

Next week is our first week of clinicals. We got a small list from our instructor but I was just curious what you all have in your nursing bags?

wow, so I was totally thinking about TCN after I finished my LPN next year. Any other suggestions? I liked the idea that you can take exams and get equivalent credits (this was my understanding). I had kids when I was 19, so I didn't get a good start...

i LOVE my rolling backpack! lol. i felt like a nerd, but at least i wasn't breaking my back!

My motto lately has become, "i love it,even when i hate it!" lol. School is tough. But it is for good reason. Just think about a nurse taking care of you or a loved one. Wouldnt you feel beter knowing they worked their butt off to reach their goal an...

which school was this, if you don't mind me asking. Just so we all know to be wary. I am currently an LPN student looking to move on up. researching a bunch of schools already!
