  1. What sacrifices will you make? / How hungry are you?

    scrubwearer replied to NCmcMan's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Your story sounds so similar. I'm having to pay for my nursing on my own now. I went to school and got a BS in Management and realized it wasn't what I wanted to do. I got into a nursing program...

  2. I Hate LT: How I Want to Fix It

    scrubwearer replied to libran1984's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    That pretty much sums up my experience in LTC/Rehab. There were times it took me from 6p to midnight to do my med pass depending on my pts. I usually had at minimum 17 and that was if I was on the...

    scrubwearer replied to petluvr's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I haven't lost a job but a friend of mine did and he had no trouble finding a new job. I can't imagine there's a nurse out there that hasn't made a med

  5. I feel like a FAILURE, what do I do now?

    scrubwearer replied to petluvr's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I think that's too much detail. I'd put discharged and if they ask say I made a medication error and here's what I learned from it...It admits accountability for the error but that you're willing to...

    scrubwearer replied to MamaAguas's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    I'm using Khan Academy to study for the math. Seems like I've forgotten a lot of math since the last time I was in school. They have videos and practice problems to do on the

    Dansko just came out with a tennis shoe looking shoe and while they aren't exactly the most awesome looking shoe their shoes are always comfortable and they do have an all white leather

  8. Canceled orientation...does it mean I really didn't get the job?

    scrubwearer replied to NursingBro's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I had a similar situation happen to me like that. It turns out state was in the building and they didn't want orientee's running around while they were in the middle of their survey. I'd call and...

  10. 2nd shift vs. 3rd shift

    scrubwearer replied to kennybania's topic in Psychiatric

    I have a horrible time sleeping in the day so second shift is great for me. I can sleep in and sleep at night. I did third shift at an MR facility and pretty much spent my day sleeping or trying to...

  11. What do you love most about your floor/specialty?

  13. State Hospital

    scrubwearer replied to wish_me_luck's topic in Psychiatric

    I work at a state psych facility and most of our patients don't have anything med/surg related. We might do some bandaging to wounds from whatever brought them in but that's about the extent of it....

    scrubwearer replied to LauraLiz's topic in General Nursing

    I work in psych and I absolutely love it. I loved it in clinicals and am now working at the facility I did clinicals at. There's never a dull moment and each patient is different. To me it's fun and...

    scrubwearer replied to jsadler827's topic in LPN to RN

    I went to Galen for my lpn and am going for my rn now. I'm not going to Galen mostly for the cost but also because I couldn't get a schedule that would work for me. I know people who have done it...

  16. Considering just taking boards and be a LPN...does that make me a failure?

    scrubwearer replied to FaithGurl93's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I was asked this question just the other day. I have several reasons I haven't done my RN yet. Money which includes my student loans and the fact that I have to work and most RN programs around here...

    scrubwearer replied to charisma01's topic in LPN, LVN Corner
