    I Feel Like I Failed

    PearsonVue: Personal Belongings

    pockunit replied to KiNX's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    They gave me tissues and ear plugs and I had to toss those in their garbage can. No searching, but they watched me like a hawk when I put my things in my locker. My hand was a little cold so I stuck...

    New Student Needing Encouragement :(

    pockunit replied to aviatorgirl777's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I have three kids, a spouse, a garden, a farm, and a life. It's not that bad. It can be really stressful when fifteen things are all due the same week, but it's all about time management, and you...

    Lab Values

    pockunit replied to soontobenurse2211's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I don't know if there is a list specific to the boards, but when a value is off, it should be waaay off, so as long as you know the normals, even if they're not exactly in line with what you see on...

    Seasonal flu shot clinics

    pockunit replied to NurseLil-lea's topic in General Nursing

    My contact said 8/15 for orientation materials to come out, so I'll wait until then before I call about it, I guess. I hope I can get a few shifts in just to brush up on my mad injection skillz, lol....

    Will get ADN at a comm. college hinder your chance of getting a good job!?

    pockunit replied to AmberLeigh000's topic in General Students

    The (very expensive) 4-year program here doesn't have as good a reputation as the CCs wrt floor nurses. I suppose they do for administration stuff, but that's not what I'm going to school

    De-bining Books???

    pockunit replied to mamayogibear's topic in General Students

    I did it for a couple of really big volumes and I LOVE it. I got them cheap on amazon so spending the extra bucks wasn't a big deal. They shouldn't have a problem doing it on hardbacks, ime. I had...

    Why does medicine come out of the injection site?

    pockunit replied to pink_shoes99's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    . . . because there's a hole in their skin and fluids leak out of holes? You could do a z-track if that's what the administration requirements are, and that would prevent the leakage. What are the...

    Question about first part of LPN school

    pockunit replied to sap0233's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I think it depends on whether or not you have to have a CNA background. If you don't, they're going to cover all of that first. If you do, it's assumed knowledge and they'll start

    What Is The Total Cost Of Your LVN/LPN Program?

    pockunit replied to tavia_yeung's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Mine is about $10,600, but that's if you're doing the whole thing, generals included. I have a BA already, so mine will be more like $6K or so. I can't remember if that includes books and stuff. I...

    Anyone else not able to get their license in MN due to BON temporary closure?

    pockunit replied to DolceVita's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I'm going to get a license by endorsement and I can't even dl the forms until this is all over. I have a friend who tested for MN and can't get a license, either. Not to mention that they will not...

    pockunit posted a topic in General Students

    I got my PN license in the mail yesterday. Wow. WOW. Given how much I *didn't* know on the test, I'm kind of surprised. The state seems to think it's legit, though, so

    pockunit replied to pockunit's topic in General Students

    I've got a seasonal one through Mollen, assuming I get any shifts. I'm also putting one in at a local LTC/rehab to see if I get any bites. I have been looking at the hospitals but not so much. It's...

    I passed my boards on the 2nd and still don't have a license number yet. How long did it take for your info to show up at the BON? Maybe the holiday held things

    Will the Minnesota state shutdown affect the ability to get the NCLEX results?

    pockunit replied to koku's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    FWIW, you can test, and the results will be sent to the state, but you won't get a license until they're back up and working. I've got a friend who took hers the day I took mine and she doesn't even...

    When you can't review tests

    pockunit posted a topic in General Students

    I'm taking a class that has a no-review policy on tests. So unless you get 100s on each one, you can't know what you got wrong and what you got right. The teacher says it's so we can't give answers to...
