  1. Overcoming obstacles

    LVN2RNMom replied to Dtermnd2Bgreat's topic in General Students

    While in LVN school I lost my house due to the worst break up I've ever had. I thought he was it for me (NOT), I lost my house to a short sale & wasn't a mom anymore (his kid). I then got laid off...

  2. Failed a Nurse Battery Exam

    LVN2RNMom replied to Keseratops's topic in General Nursing

    I've had to take a battery test for every major employer that I have applied to & I chalk it up to being a nurse. What I mean is as a nurse, things are constantly changing so we must always stay...

  3. Random question: Would you wear a $300 watch to work

    LVN2RNMom replied to TXRN44's topic in General Nursing

    I wear a watch that suits me. It cost about $40, is made out of rubber so it's easy to keep clean, has both military time & standard time. I work in an surgery setting, so jewelry is not very...

  5. New Graduate LVN Seeking Employment

    LVN2RNMom replied to viprow's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    If you know it's too soon then why ask what you are doing wrong? What you are doing wrong is comparing yourself to others. Who knows if your classmates cousin's wife works at the place you applied? Or...

  6. LVN then work as CNA or caregiver?

    LVN2RNMom replied to westcoastguy's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Being a nurse isn't easy & finding a job is even harder, then living in CA is even worse. Maybe your family has no clue? You need to tell them. Trust me when I say that only you will be able to...

  7. What is the Problem?

    LVN2RNMom replied to rkumiwcc's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I've had some ruthless CNA's and I've had some excellent one's. No matter what you do or where you work, you will find good & bad. I've never been a CNA but I was an MA thus I'm not new to this. I...

  8. Does LPN is really dying ? All places only hiring RNs ?

    LVN2RNMom replied to nataliewalsh's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

  9. need some advice, is it me?

    LVN2RNMom replied to oatmeal's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I had to go back & read again....you legally can not give a medication that is intended & directed to give at 2 different times, cause of time constraint you give once a day. That's changing...

  10. need some advice, is it me?

    LVN2RNMom replied to oatmeal's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    That is absolutely wrong for others to pound on a bathroom door, when you are using it. It sounds to me like the place isn't a safe environment. Keep looking elsewhere applying & watch the meds...

  11. Thought I would have a job by now. Getting depressed

    LVN2RNMom replied to SWRNUSA's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Nursing jobs are HARD to come by for ALL nurses. You've graduated just 2 months ago & I want to ask, didn't you research your options before graduating or before deciding on being a nurse? If so,...

    LVN2RNMom replied to Jdv13's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    At my LVN school we had to pass an Elsevier competency exam & score at least an 850 prior to graduation. Out of approximately 40 students, more than half failed at the 1st attempt. They allowed...

    LVN2RNMom replied to RainMom's topic in General Nursing

    LVN2RNMom replied to tbehlow's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

  15. New LPN looking for a job in the WPB, FL area

    LVN2RNMom replied to kcfirst2's topic in Florida Nursing

    Be very careful if you are going to work as a CNA. You are now a licensed nurse & you will be obligated to stand by your license. Open your search outside of your area code & possibly out of...

  16. Living with the decision I made

    LVN2RNMom replied to Williss2's topic in General Nursing

    LVN2RNMom replied to Vicky Laursen's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    LVN2RNMom replied to __patiently_waiting's topic in General Nursing

  20. Was your education worth it?

    LVN2RNMom replied to __patiently_waiting's topic in General Nursing

    That was my opinion. You have to look at the big picture & stop looking focusing on each obstacle. I know I will be able to pay back my student loan, once I do get my RN but my point was....I'm...

  21. Was your education worth it?

    LVN2RNMom replied to __patiently_waiting's topic in General Nursing

    LVN2RNMom replied to Kendruh's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Working in a Dr's office is very stressful. Maybe if you worked part-time or worked for a Dr's office that wasn't busy, then it wouldn't be too bad. I work in a hospital & absolutely love it....
