  1. How was your life like after graduating from nursing school?

    Thank you and congrats to you too! Getting your BSN is amazing! I'll raise my glass to you, fellow 25y/o

  2. How was your life like after graduating from nursing school?

    Hellostudentnurssee replied to Hellostudentnurssee's topic in First Year After Licensure

    :Thank you! That's so sweet of you! I would love to follow the path you did - from LPN to RN to BSN. That would be an amazing set of goals to achieve and congrats to you for that. It's great seeing...

  3. When is a good time to take the PN NCLEX?

    Hellostudentnurssee posted a topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Test taking is my weakness. We've always taken Kaplan after every quarter. I've only "passed" one (and actually did really well) but the rest were a few points of "passing". We took the comprehensive...

  4. Nurses eat their young - now I understand why.

    Hellostudentnurssee replied to RN_Marie's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    My mom has been an ICU nurse for over 30 years. She's smart, caring but can be critical of the job because she's so passionate about it. I'm glad she doesn't eat the new grads but I get to hear (and...

  5. Does it make me a bad nurse if I'm not book smart?

    Hellostudentnurssee replied to Hellostudentnurssee's topic in General Nursing

    Thank everyone. I'm just a newbie so I'm hoping (if I get hired, please God) I can increase my knowledge through work. Hopefully the material will "click" along with application; thus boosting my...

  6. Does it make me a bad nurse if I'm not book smart?

    Hellostudentnurssee replied to Hellostudentnurssee's topic in General Nursing

    Oh yes! I have my handy dandy "reviews and rationales" books that break it down for me! I was always the girl in class who brought her extra resource books. Security reasons and to better my learning....

    Hellostudentnurssee replied to Hellostudentnurssee's topic in General Nursing

  8. Why am I feeling depressed about graduating?

    Hellostudentnurssee posted a topic in LPN, LVN Students

    At the end of the month, I'll officially be done with my LPN program and will be pinned. I can't help but feel like I've been running away from it, mentally and emotionally. Everyone's been asking me...

  9. PAST MY LPN-NCLEX

    Hellostudentnurssee replied to campbeartrack's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Congrats! Just curious, how long after graduation did you take your test? I'm going to to graduate at the end of the month and am deciding when to take

  10. Can you become a public speaker in nursing?

    Hellostudentnurssee posted a topic in General Nursing

    I've always LOVED doing public speaking and presentations. I was wondering if there are certain requirements that allow you to become a public speaker? What are the requirements to do this? Do you...

  11. I failed my midterm and feel horrible...

    Hellostudentnurssee posted a topic in General Students

    This is my last quarter and you would think having low scores and failing tests are somewhat of the norm but I feel horrible. It was a 40 question test and I don't know what to do anymore. I'm...

  12. How can I cram and study for the LPN NCLEX? :(

    Hellostudentnurssee posted a topic in General Students

    I've been in a part time/hybrid (in class and online) LPN program and it's my last quarter. Our school is associated with Kaplan and after every quarter, we take our mini kaplan tests. Anyhoo, I'm...

  13. Nursing teachers being biased?

    Hellostudentnurssee posted a topic in General Students

    Last week, we had delay in schedule due to crazy weather/safety concerns on the road. Because of this, classes were canceled. I emailed my teachers about questions I had with our upcoming midterm -...

  14. Is LPN school easier than RN?

    Hellostudentnurssee replied to DebbieLynne's topic in General Students

    Anytime you're in ANY nursing school - LPN, RN, BSN, it is HARD work. There is not one that is harder or easier than the other. Most LPN programs have an RN program attached. I'm pretty sure the...

  15. How can I impress the director of our nursing program?

    Hellostudentnurssee posted a topic in General Students

    I just made an appointment with the director of our program. I am an LPN student. I'm very THANKFUL for the opportunity to be in the program, as we all know how crazy competitive nursing school is....

  16. What is something interesting about "diabetes 2" I could share?

    Hellostudentnurssee posted a topic in General Students

    I have a group presentation about "diabetes type II" - what's something interesting (other than what we already know), I can share? Presentations are MY thing :) All the other nursing teachers will be...

  18. What would be a priority d/x w. untreatable cancer?

    Hellostudentnurssee posted a topic in General Students

    NOTE: Not a real life patient - just a "patient" from a scenario. Pt has "multiple myeloma" which is not treatable. I know this pt can possibly go into renal failure so I was thinking my first...

  19. Cried during lab evaluation.... now feeling horrible...

    Hellostudentnurssee replied to birdinflight's topic in General Students

    I am sending you a hug right now! The same thing happened to me a few weeks ago with my clinical instructor b*tch from hell. I'm definitely a grounded, strong person (may be sweet on the outside but I...

  20. Associate Degree program a thing of the past...

    Hellostudentnurssee replied to ashburns4ever's topic in General Students

    Yeah, my clinical instructor told us this the other day. She said in the US, by 2020, all hospitals will require a BSN, which sucks for me because I was lucky enough to get into an LPN program. I come...

  21. I'm grateful for you crusty old bats

    Hellostudentnurssee replied to SuesquatchRN's topic in General Nursing

    I admire the crusty old bats - my mom is a "crusty old bat" and I admire her for it. My nursing instructor is a crusty old bat and expects me to become one overnight. I'm still a newbie and I haven't...

  22. How to survive clinical instructor from hell?

    Hellostudentnurssee posted a topic in General Students

    There was talk of this difficult clinical instructor from months ago - she (allegedly) was verbally abusive with her students. She failed one student because her english wasn't "Americanized English"....

  23. How can you prioritize d/x with a pt with many complications?

    Hellostudentnurssee posted a topic in General Students

    NOTE: this is not a real life patient. I'm having trouble picking and prioritizing d/x for this patient: he has a history of cancer; was in surgery of lymph nodes, had a complication during surgery...

  24. How can you prioritize d/x with a pt with many complications?

    Hellostudentnurssee replied to Hellostudentnurssee's topic in General Students

    YES! I definitely agree with you. I talked more about it with other instructors and seems to be that "skin breakdown" and "impaired mobility" would be great. Mobility is important for safety and since...

  25. How to survive clinical instructor from hell?

    Hellostudentnurssee replied to Hellostudentnurssee's topic in General Students

    WOW! Sounds like we had the same instructor! I know it's all "acting" and just gotta do what they say but I'm starting to worry about my well being. I'm normally someone who's easygoing, confident, in...
