  1. Kaplan harder than NCLEX-RN, Passed with 75Q & Low Kaplan Scores

    WunMsJayLPNtoRN posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Let me start off by saying that I don't know whether I recommend Kaplan or not for NCLEX review. I am on the fence because I took Kaplan, used all Q bank questions and Q trainers (and reviewed all...

  2. I still don't understand why a hospital would hire cna's, or techs but not lpn's

    WunMsJayLPNtoRN replied to Destiny'skid's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I didn't know that AIDS was just transmitted sexually. Learn something new everyday... Although I think those that may have contracted AIDS via blood transfusion would tend to

  3. Being labeled an MA but an LPN

    WunMsJayLPNtoRN replied to HippyDippyLPN's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe going through HR isnt the best way. Do you have a hiring manager you can speak with? Or your supervisor? HR often arent clinical, so they may not understand your concerns. They are telling you...

  4. Advice on precepting a new grad :O)

    WunMsJayLPNtoRN replied to Joy06's topic in Nurse Management

    Sounds like you have a pretty good start already! The rest, however, is going to depend on the person that you are orienting. When I was orienting with an experienced nurse, I didn't need a whole lot...

  5. Burnt out and struggling emotionally

    WunMsJayLPNtoRN replied to MomRN0913's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    And somehow, this turned political...^^^^^^ OP, you have been given some great advice. Prayer, setting boundaries, seeking counsel, or (if all else fails) finding a new field. I hope you soon find...

  6. A doctor needs to be present to draw blood?

    WunMsJayLPNtoRN replied to psu_213's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Maybe they have to run the blood as soon as they draw it & they cant do anything to treat you until an MD is there...so to avoid any delays in treatment or sending you out, they just wait for the...

  7. EMS hitch this one takes the Cake!!

    WunMsJayLPNtoRN replied to downsouthlaff's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    You were the only one there during this conversation, OP, so in no way am I trying to say that you didnt hear her the LPN correctly; BUT, maybe you interpreted incorrectly or she wasnt able to...

  8. Questions for Night Shift Nurses

    WunMsJayLPNtoRN replied to Tazhaz's topic in General Nursing

    Your English is great! Now, excuse my English if it is difficult to understand as I am working a night shift right now ( : 1. What is it like to work nightshift? It depends on the night and patient...

  9. Should I quit nursing?

    WunMsJayLPNtoRN replied to Anna-s's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I am so sorry for your experience! 3 weeks of orientation for a new grad in acute care is not sufficient, in my opinion. I was an LPN for 7 years (with hospital experience) before I became an RN, and...

  10. Facebook almost cost me my job

    WunMsJayLPNtoRN replied to ReginaPhalange's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Wow!!!! I think that is absolutely overboard that this situation even made its way to HR. If I were you, I'd really like to know who "leaked" that information. I do agree that this is a lesson...

  11. New grad pay and jobs in Richmond

    WunMsJayLPNtoRN replied to asmith1436's topic in Virginia Nursing

    My goodness! Nursing is so much different than it was when I first started as an LPN. This is DEPRESSING! Do you mind if I ask whether this is hospital? (if so what type of floor?) and this is here in...

  12. Hopeful NCLEX-PN March 2011

    WunMsJayLPNtoRN replied to 4Karrie2's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    If you take Kaplan review course, they guarantee that you pass or your money back. You cant beat that! It seems like you are having trouble with strategy and answering the questions, so in your case I...

  13. Kaplan harder than NCLEX-RN, Passed with 75Q & Low Kaplan Scores

    WunMsJayLPNtoRN replied to WunMsJayLPNtoRN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    If the message states to contact your BON, then you passed. The pop up that you got indicates that your results are on hold and they may still be reviewing them. Do you feel as though you got your...

  14. Kaplan harder than NCLEX-RN, Passed with 75Q & Low Kaplan Scores

    WunMsJayLPNtoRN replied to WunMsJayLPNtoRN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I felt the same way about wanting to read the book, although I never got around to it! Honestly it wouldnt hurt to review topics that you might be unclear about in the book, but as far as reading the...

  15. HELP! Low Kaplan Scores, Taking NCLEX March 2011. Should I Rescedule?

    WunMsJayLPNtoRN posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I have scored consistently low on Kaplan Q trainers and Q banks (between 48-70%, averaging at about 57%-60%). My Kaplan instructor advised me to complete Q trainer7 before about 3-4 days before I took...

  16. HELP! Low Kaplan Scores, Taking NCLEX March 2011. Should I Rescedule?

    WunMsJayLPNtoRN replied to WunMsJayLPNtoRN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I dont know what you mean by right away, but the standard for everyone that graduated with me was about a month of studying minimum. Kaplan itself takes 2 weeks, and doing the Q bank questions will...

  18. HELP! Low Kaplan Scores, Taking NCLEX March 2011. Should I Rescedule?

    WunMsJayLPNtoRN replied to WunMsJayLPNtoRN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I dont know what being first has to do with anything, but its true that you dont ever know when you're ready to take NCLEX. I waited 3 months after LPN school and 3 months after RN school, and let's...

  21. HELP! Low Kaplan Scores, Taking NCLEX March 2011. Should I Rescedule?

    WunMsJayLPNtoRN replied to WunMsJayLPNtoRN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    If you're pretty sure that you got the last question right, chances are you passed!! There are 3 responses to PVT...1) it lets you register (which probably means the testtaker was not successful), 2)...

  22. March 2011 Test Takers Support Group

    WunMsJayLPNtoRN replied to pinkpaperdoll's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    PVT works as long as your exam says "delivered successfully", so you can check it as soon as you finish. I did mine as soon as I got home within 30-45 minutes and got the good pop up. The only thing...

    WunMsJayLPNtoRN replied to WunMsJayLPNtoRN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I think you're right...after reviewing the article again it looks like this is referring to NCLEX PN only, not NCLEX RN. Thanks for the
