  1. Recent LPN Grads - How long did it take to find a job?

    Raviepoo posted a topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    I'm in school now with an anticipated graduation date in August. I was just wondering, should I start looking for a job before I finish school? Do you get a better offer if you wait until you pass...

  2. Wow They Are Really Serious - smokers not hired

    Raviepoo replied to LemonIndiscretion's topic in General Nursing

    I am only able to say this because I am anonymous on here. I know that this is not a popular opinion. If the respiratory component of your nursing training didn't motivate you to at least try to quit...

  3. Is there a lot of bullying in nursing?

    Raviepoo replied to sakiohma's topic in General Students

    I have seen loads of bullying in nursing school. It's the nature of humans in a schoolyard. They build themselves up by picking on anyone who seems odd or weak. It's done out of insecurity. The...

  4. Ethical Dilemma

    Raviepoo posted a topic in Home Health

    I am working in homecare through an agency. My primary client is switching to another agency. Her family wants me to apply to work for the new agency because they like my work and they want to keep...

  5. almost got written up at clinical

    Raviepoo replied to on eagles wings's topic in General Students

    Yes to everything that has already been said, however..... I suspect your instructor needs to get some of her prescriptions refilled. Her approach was really unprofessional. There was no reason for...

  6. Will my medical background help me to survive the nursing program?

    Raviepoo replied to mrsbreebree's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Nursing school will be hell for you. Your instructors will chew you up and spit you out if you're not careful. At my program the instructors love to tear down anyone who is smart and competent....

  7. Will I get kicked out for this?

    Raviepoo replied to missa-almost-RN's topic in General Students

    It could haunt you if the nurse decides to be a d&^$ about it and complain to your school. I don't know if all schools are like this but the one I attended reserved the right to expel a student...

  8. $24/hr

    Raviepoo replied to winter_green's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    You have to be able to compare the cost of living in the target location to the cost of living in your current location to know whether that is a good pay rate. RNs in NYC make much more than that,...

  9. Advice needed! Pre-nursing student@ hacc

    Raviepoo replied to Newnurseb14's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Are you going to maintain a 4.0 in ALL of your pre-reqs and complete all of your pre-reqs at HACC? That is the only way that you will have a hope of being accepted into clinicals. Most people who...

  10. 2 LPN Schools in Pa.

    Raviepoo replied to lostinthecountry's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Don't click on the link. This poster is just trying to drive traffic to a blog to get hits. There is no information worth reading at the site. It's all just generic stuff that you probably already...

  11. Kicked out for not locking bed.

    Raviepoo replied to Julie19's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    There are other schools. She should apply somewhere else. This incident will make her a better nurse in the long run. I'm pretty sure she won't make the same mistake

  12. Im Pagan and a Hospice Nurse....

    Raviepoo replied to SaylahStarr's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    I'm not a hospice nurse (yet) but as a nursing student and CNA raised in a Jewish family I do a lot of nodding and smiling. It no longer bothers me if it involves patients or families. If it's...

  13. Easiest/quickest LPN program to get into USA?? Vent maybe

    Raviepoo replied to Coloradogrl's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    47K or 70K?!? That is insane. Where I live it takes a month to become a CNA. The LPN program I'm in takes 12 months and costs 12,000$. You could move here and your tuition and living expenses...

  14. PLEASE HELP i cant get into nursing school

    Raviepoo replied to Palexander3512's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Are you willing to look outside the Philly area? I am currently in an LPN program in Lancaster County. I think your TEAS scores would be good enough for admission. Area hospitals are not hiring...

  15. Passed the CNA test today

    Raviepoo posted a topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    2011 was a really horrible year for me. I needed some good news. So this is it. I passed the test and I can start applying for jobs that require certification. Yay! It's big relief. I was pretty...

  16. Medication shortages?

    Raviepoo replied to Tarabara's topic in General Nursing

    As a consumer, I have been unable to fill a family member's (OK he's a dog, but he's still a member of my family) prescription for generic cyclosporine at our regular pharmacy since November. This...

  17. Degree of Difficulty taking LPN through distance ed.

    Raviepoo replied to haley_t22's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Just a question- how do you do your

  18. Not testing well so far

    Raviepoo replied to CaliNursingStudent's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    You have to learn a lot of new terminology in science classes. If you don't learn the vocabulary, you're sunk. One of the things that helps me is to keep a list of every new word I read in each...

  19. RIDICULOUS RULES!

    Raviepoo replied to Mrs.Priss's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    There is more than one nursing school. There is more than one road leading to your destination. Pursue the academic fresh start and DON'T GIVE UP. You may have to take an alternate route to your...

  20. instructor says nursing is not for me..

    Raviepoo replied to Orlette's topic in General Students

    What school do you go to? Remind me to stay away from it. It sounds like your coordinator is on a power trip and gets her jollies by having an impact (good or otherwise) on other people's lives....

  21. To the nurses: clinical instructor who called me out

    Raviepoo replied to starrys's topic in General Students

    Calling you out in front of your peers is disrespectful, inhumane and unprofessional. How do instructors get away with that behavior? Don't let her get to you. She is a monster. Just put in your...

  22. Excelsior A&P anyone?

    Raviepoo posted a topic in LPN to RN

    I'm a very part time LPN student for now, going back full time in May. In the next few months I'm going to work through some of the prerequisites for the bridge program at Excelsior. I already have...

  23. Work Experience

    Raviepoo replied to rnforcrna's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Have you considered the intangibles? Yes, Hopkins is a first rate hospital, but it is in a pretty run down area of Baltimore. You probably wouldn't feel safe living anywhere near there. Baltimore...

  24. ati practice teas v compared to actual test

    Raviepoo replied to erica1223's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    I did much better on the actual test than the practice test. That's true for every ATI test I have taken so

  25. School's NCLEX pass rates, PLEASE help!

    Raviepoo replied to danielleshea2011's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The nursing school that I left (I'm now at a school that I like much better) has an NCLEX passing rate of 100% most of the time. It's not because it's a good school. It's because it is very hard to...
