    KLG2004 posted a topic in Texas Nursing

    I am finishing my LVN/RN bridge program next week and I am really struggling with my move from here. I have been practicing for 10 years with 6 months in tele/med/surg and 9 1/2 years in pediatric...

    KLG2004 replied to KLG2004's topic in Texas Nursing

    Commuter, Yes, I did apply at Cook's and was passed over. I am in no way suggesting that I am a rock star, I've got A LOT to learn and will continue to learn throughout my career, but I have been a...

  4. Last Day of Clinical!

    KLG2004 replied to Mrsladysoul83's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Althought it was 10 years ago, I remember how much we all needed that break. We took our Neuro exam the last day before the holiday and the average was like 70. We were all already on break in our...

  5. What is your schedule like?

    KLG2004 replied to becalee26's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    KLG2004 replied to LLL01's topic in General Students

    Our entire class feels, or has felt, exactly the way you do. The testing average was in the 70s this semester and many were very worried about passing. I think we're all in good shape. I need a 21 on...

  7. What happened to my brain?

    KLG2004 replied to karlymarie's topic in LPN to RN

    We all have our moments. Being a great nurse is more than making an A on a test. I'm not a great test taker and I find that I read too much into questions when they are easy. I sometimes look at my...

  8. how long did you wait to go from LPN to RN?

    KLG2004 replied to Mrsladysoul83's topic in LPN to RN

    I waited 6 years to go back. As soon as I felt comfortable with him staying home alone for more than just a couple of hours, I started. Most LPN/RN progrmas require 1 year work as a LPN, at least the...

    KLG2004 replied to pepper35's topic in Texas Nursing

    I am finishing the program in less than two weeks and can safely say that I will not miss the uniforms. As not.done.yet said, they are thick which is both a blessing and a curse. I only had to do half...

  16. Collin College Fall 2011

    KLG2004 replied to nursesme's topic in Texas Nursing

    I got in on the 20th for the PSB @ 1300. Evidently, there were people in the line at 0600-0630. In my conversations with the department, I have been told that 15-16 are pretty much a shoe-in. I would...

    A tube of charcoal became clogged but before I realized it, it spewed charcoal all over me and another nurse that was in the room with me. That was no fun to clean up and I felt like a total stooge....

    KLG2004 replied to nursesme's topic in Texas Nursing

    I had a massive hysterical episode after I learned that I mistakenly put my scheduled PSB on my planner for 12/20 instead of 12/15. I missed it! Now I have to go on a waiting list. Totally my fault....
