    bookworm78910 replied to sydneyxmoon's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I've been in the same situation. I was hired in long-term care with no experience on evening shift; very hectic. Drinking from a firehose is a good analogy. My strategy was very similar to others in...

  2. Funniest thing you've ever seen happen to a doctor

    bookworm78910 replied to Guttercat's topic in Nursing Humor

    I was able to read all the stories and only chuckle once. I have had doctors belittle me for doing my job. Somehow, reading these stories of misfortune on their part don't make me feel any better, or...

  3. LPNs and LPN students, be PROUD!

    bookworm78910 replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Hey SD31, I used Nursing Made Easy's NCLEX-PN study guide to study for the NCLEX, as well as a few questions from Kaplan. I liked the rationales for each answer in Nursing Made Easy better. I studied...

    bookworm78910 replied to Brian's topic in General Students

    Nursing school felt remarkably like that, for 2 years straight..I only studied for the NCLEX for about a month, but drank my share of coffee while doing

    bookworm78910 replied to Canadian eh?'s topic in Men in Nursing

    The ability to help people and work with caring people were two of the biggest things that attracted me to nursing. I like working with people and enjoy helping them to live healthier and more...

    Good for you, Passion=Nursing! There is nothing wrong with being honest with yourself and acknowledging that you need to take your time and baby-step your way to your goal! In fact, it makes your...

    bookworm78910 replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    As a canine lover, I am frequently an LPN next to a dog..in fact, I woke up this morning adjacent to one. I get your point, though. There is a perception problem for nurses in general and LPNs in...

  9. The case of the missing pens: A rant and an idea

    bookworm78910 replied to Florence NightinFAIL's topic in General Nursing

    I found a phenomena for me. If I buy a pen, I will almost always lose it, but if I get a free pen, it is mine until it dies or someone else swipes it. I love free retractable pens (I never met a lid...

  10. people seem uninformed....

    bookworm78910 replied to meghan91's topic in General Nursing

  12. Are you insulted????

    bookworm78910 replied to CNABESS's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think you said anything wrong. There is nothing wrong with being happy with where you are in life. If the stress level and hours work well with your life, and you enjoy what you do, that's...
