PinkHoyt

A little off topic but... My dad had Bacterial Men. when I was in 7th grade. Very scary! He is lucky to be alive. He came out with major vision loss (tunnel vision in one eye and then peripheral vision only in the other) and was partially paralyzed...

Mine was $15,000 which didn't include all the extras such as uniforms, ink for printer (went thru a ton of it), food, gas...way too much to be getting paid so little.

I'm waiting on my last clearance to come thru so that I can start subbing as well! Very excited, but also realize it's not going to pay the bills. So I have applied for PRN position at the county jail (completely different I know). I was thinking th...

I shoot archery. My bow is a Hoyt and has pink strings. Not too creative ?

I graduated August 2nd. I interviewed for one job a couple weeks prior and they said they wouldn't let me know until the end of September. Haven't heard from them as of yet. It's ok tho because about a week after graduation I interviewed at one of...

While interviewing I've been being told anywhere from $10 - $14/hr. Not very much.

My advice would be to start doing practice questions as early as possible that way you can familiarize yourself with they way they are worded. It's also fun to do them with classmates. Then you can discuss why certain answers are wrong or right. I...

I just interviewed for a Health Aid position in my local school district. I also live in PA. The only issue was that I just graduated and haven't taken my boards yet. I was interviewed by a panel. They knew going into the interview that I didn't ...

I have been looking into it as well. Two recruiters from the college network came and talked to our class yesterday and made it sound wonderful...so now I need to start researching myself. (=

We started with 42 and then added 5 from last years class at different times. Graduation is tomorrow and we currently have 21. Just had 2 finals today and had to leave at the end of the day with out knowing grades. They just got posted online so th...

I graduate in about 3 weeks. I just applied to one of my state's correctional facilities. That would be my first choice. One of the local hospitals that we do clinical at told my instructor that they would like to hire 2 graduate LPNs from my cla...

Using a "smart device" is a great suggestion, however in the program I attend we aren't allowed to use them on exams. Only a plain old fashion calculator is allowed. Thankfully you can pick them up pretty cheap.

We just started our IV course on Tuesday. So far we have went over what we as LPNs can and cannot do, learned about the different types of IV Therapy and calculating drip rates. I guess this coming week we are going to start practicing on the dummy...

Right now my schedule is class Tuesday and Wednesday 7:30 to 2:30 and clinical Monday Thursday and Friday. On the nights before clinical I take my daughter to my mother in laws house to spend the night so that she doesn't have to wake up early and t...

I'm pretty sure it depends on what school you want to attend. The school I'm going to only required the TEAS V. I would either call them and ask or look and see if they might have their admission process posted on their website. As for studying I ...

My orientation is Friday. Starts at 9 and I have no idea how long it lasts. I also just got a letter on Tuesday saying that I have to stay after for some sort of Math Remediation class to brush up on my math skills since I only got an 80 in Math on...

I just broke down and ended up ordering my backpack yesterday. When I went online to look at it it said there were only 2 left in stock. I figure when it gets here in a week and I don't like it I'll ship it back. I think it will work tho. It's an...

My classes start at the end of August and I only have one little girl who is 7 and starting the 2nd grade. She is so excited that we will be able to do our homework together. It's cute! She understands that I will be studying a lot, but we will st...

My school doesn't allow taking it online. Try your local hospital. Around where I live they fill up fast, but only cost $35. I take mine next Friday.

I was also wondering the same thing so I actually asked the secretary because she is more than happy to answer any questions we have about the program. Luckily she said that just a normal backpack will do just fine and that they provide a clinical b...

I went and had blood drawn about two weeks ago for the titers to be done. I came home last night to a $1,000 bill from the hospital. Hubby is none too pleased with me right now. I kinda had a feeling our insurance wouldn't pay, but I didn't think ...

Congrats!!!

Ours are a teal top with white pants and all white shoes. Anything we wear underneath have to be all white as well such as a tank or long sleeve shirt if we get chilly. We aren't allowed to wear anything over our top.
