    NCLEX July 15th, So Nervous!!!

    I♥Scrubs replied to UCAFblue's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    July 26th is my day and I am so scared already! I graduated with a 95 overall average and on the mock NCLEX I had a 93% chance of passing and that was without studying but I am still so

    Really hating school right now...

    I♥Scrubs replied to pnkgirl25's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I agree with the above poster that most LPN grads will end up in LTC first to gain experience but that is not the route everybody goes. I had clinical in some clinics and they had grads who graduated...

    Shoes!

    I♥Scrubs replied to granolatrees's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I had ordered a pair from scrubzone and I hated them. My feet always hurt so bad by the end of the day. A lot of the nurses we worked with wear Dansko's and love

    Where do you want to work as an LPN?

    I♥Scrubs replied to Lpn__'s topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I thought I would love the OR before I started second semester rotations, but I actually didn't fall in love with it while I was there. I have found that I love the clinics. I like everything about...

    First Test

    I♥Scrubs replied to hunnybunches's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Once you get to the end, it's amazing to look back and see how much you have learned! I started last September, and I finish on June 27th! You can do it, just keep on top of everything!

    First Test

    I♥Scrubs replied to hunnybunches's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Great job. But don't think nursing school is just a walk in the park. It starts out easy because you don't know a lot yet. The more you know, the more they expect of you. Keep it up and stay on top of...

    Experience?

    I♥Scrubs posted a topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Hello all! I graduate from nursing school in less than three weeks and I plan on sending in my application for the boards right after graduation. My question is, I look up LPN jobs in my area from...

    Experience?

    I♥Scrubs replied to I♥Scrubs's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I live in upstate NY and I know some of the hospitals are "phasing out" but some are still hiring. And I see quite a few jobs for clinics and Doctor offices. My husband is also still in school for...

    How far is your school, and how do u fit in work?

    I♥Scrubs replied to chacha82's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I live abut 5 minutes away from the actual school. For almost all of my clinical sites I was about 40 minutes-1 hour away. The first 20 weeks I worked every other weekend and during the week so...

    What made you choose LPN/LVN?

    I♥Scrubs replied to Wannabeeinscrubs's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Finances and I wanted to make sure that before I went into nursing I would like it. I also want to work in a clinic or Doctors office. And someday I would like to have a family so I'd like somewhat...

    Those hard clinical days....

    I♥Scrubs replied to I♥Scrubs's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    It's not like I didn't try to stand up for myself. One time I went in I asked to see his IV site and he became disgruntled. He told me to go ahead, and when I checked it he became even more rude. I...

    Do your classmates really care?

    I♥Scrubs replied to do-over at 40's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    In my class it depends. I know quite a few who blow off school and skip classes and go out a lot but I also know of quite a few who really do study hard. I'd say it's about half and half in my

    How long are your clinicals?

    I♥Scrubs replied to TipToeLPN's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    0640-1440 is our clinical time. I agree it is too much time. Most often I ask the nurses or PCA's if there is anything they need help with. Even one of my instructors said we have too many clinical...

    Losing respect for nursing students

    I♥Scrubs replied to kjnsweets's topic in General Nursing

    I really think it all depends. Some of my fellow students are terrible (they sit and not because of exhaustion or looking things up, they talk about the nurses and the instructors and other students,...

    Losing respect for nursing students

    I♥Scrubs replied to kjnsweets's topic in General Nursing

    I am a PN student and I have to say I see it from both sides. I have seen some of my classmates be very disrespectful in front of patients and to staff, but I have also seen some nurses who were just...

    Whats wrong with working in a nursing home?

    I♥Scrubs replied to jasminewilliams's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    LTC is just not for some people. Here in NY a lot of LPNs do LTC but also the clinics and doctor offices. I go to clinical sites for school and they have past grads from my program which is nice to...

    Hours of study

    I♥Scrubs replied to futurebclpn's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    It really depends on the person and the subject. I usually don't have to study much (maybe an hour or two) and I am on high honor roll and 3rd in my class out of 40. However I have friends who stay up...
