  1. Failed out of BSN Program, What Now?

    Raviepoo replied to JB131's topic in General Students

    The best thing he can do is ask around and see if he can find a school to work with him. If he wants to become an LPN there are schools (at least in PA where I live) that might be willing to work...

  2. How do I explain to my snobby family why nurses are important and worthy of respect?

    Raviepoo replied to Miss Infermiera2b's topic in General Nursing

  3. I got accepted but....

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

    $25,000 sounds very expensive for an LPN school. Mine was less than half that amount. Is it a two year program? If it was me I would look for a less expensive

  5. Failed out of last 7.5 week of class before graduation

    Raviepoo replied to ErikaMarie's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I failed out of LPN school. Now I'm an RN. When I was first told I could not come back to the program my first thought was, "That's it. It's over. I can't be a nurse." It took a little more than...

  6. Fulltime student-is it possible to work as CNA or al all?!

    Raviepoo replied to Summers3's topic in General Students

    You CAN do it, but if you find that your grades are suffering, you might want to look at cutting back hours. I worked prn for my final two semesters and I'm really glad that I did. It's wonderful to...

  8. So I just failed out of Nursing School, is there hope after?

    Raviepoo replied to Marvarapper's topic in General Students

    THIS /|\ !!!!!! Some of the nurses I respect the most are the ones who got knocked down, some of them more than once, and got right back up again. There are other programs that will consider you. If...

  9. LVN grad hired for cardiac stepdown unit....

    Raviepoo replied to nena2hsd's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I don't work in that unit, but I want to share some stuff I learned during my first year as an LPN. Assume nothing. If you're not 100% sure about something, ask. Communicate with your team members....

    Raviepoo replied to karlsbad's topic in General Students

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

  13. Should I Keep Looking for Another Job?

    Raviepoo replied to just1guy93's topic in Nursing Career

    Yes, of course you should keep looking for another job. There are places that will hire you as a newly licensed LVN with no experience. Turn over every rock until you find

  14. new job package

    Raviepoo replied to nomadicnurse's topic in First Year After Licensure

    This is really simple. Figure out how much extra money you would earn each month by going without benefits. Then see if you can buy a health insurance policy for that amount of money. If you can't,...

  15. Achieve Test Prep questions

    Raviepoo replied to nurseonoriode's topic in General Students

    What she said, below. You can do Excelsior on your own. It will be cheaper that way. Or go to a brick and mortar school. "Passing" ATP's classes really gets you nothing. You then have to go pass...

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

  18. ANA urges increased workforce funding; 1.1 Million new nurses needed

    Raviepoo replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Wow. Where I live we have the opposite situation. LTC pays better then the hospitals. I had no idea that wasn't the case universally. That is eye opening for

  19. Formatting programs for papers?

    Raviepoo replied to BirkieGirl's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    PERLA has never let me down. The only time I had an instructor ding me for APA formatting was the time I got cocky and didn't bother with PERLA. It's well worth the

  20. Perfume at work?

    Raviepoo replied to fawnmarie's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Some patients have allergies. Others simply cannot tolerate specific types of scent or any scent at all. Save the spritz for date night. When you're working you should have no

  23. HACC or Pa College of Health Sciences RN program

    Raviepoo replied to mommyrntobe92's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    The HACC Lancaster campus gives a maximum of 10 points for the comp predictor score, so no, it's not as big a deal there as it is at PA

  24. Hospital vs LTC tough Decision

    Raviepoo replied to peachescna's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    If you're planning to go on and become an RN in the future, definitely take the hospital job. You will learn so much more in that setting. Nursing home residents tend to be fairly stable. If they...
