  1. Your first nursing job

    Nienna Celebrindal replied to Redmaile's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Here is my opinion on nursing school. Nursing school doesn't teach you how to be a nurse. It teaches you how to not drown your first year when you LEARN to be a nurse. I think you are being too hard...

  2. Searching for a LVN to BSN program. Any recommedations?

    Nienna Celebrindal replied to dannyi2yu's topic in LPN to RN

    No there

  3. LVN/LPN am I too smart?

    Nienna Celebrindal replied to DreadiLocs's topic in LPN to RN

    No its not bad, if you are happy where you are at stay there. I heard all those same comments, drove me up a wall. I have to admit I became an RN because I a) wanted to be paid the same amount of...

  4. Officially passed my first semester! Need advice on next semester.

    Nienna Celebrindal replied to bear94's topic in General Students

    Oh and look up nursing concept maps, our school had one for us to fill out and I found it really helpful to sift through all the information to find the places to focus on for care

  5. Officially passed my first semester! Need advice on next semester.

    Nienna Celebrindal replied to bear94's topic in General Students

    I highly recommend youtube, you have to search through for the good videos but sometimes just seeing the same info presented in a different way is what helps it click. Also oddly pinterest, tons of...

  6. Finishing program but very hurt and disappointed

    Nienna Celebrindal replied to mrsnurse2014's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I think the "favorite at clinicals" award is just ridiculous. But I do support other awards that have meaning (Valedictorian, etc) and I agree with the others that of course not everyone is going to...

  7. Temple college LVN

    Nienna Celebrindal replied to AngPartridge3's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I don't know that saying you are "looking forward to a different BETTER class" is quite the way to go. Your previous class may not have been great but putting them down to your new cohort is not...

  9. Sizing

    Nienna Celebrindal replied to MewChiiLi's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I've worked with lots of tiny nurses, you'll be

  10. Masters Degree

    Nienna Celebrindal replied to doubled27's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have to agree. Not to be down on your dreams, they are great! Don't let them go completely but your focus needs to be 150% on getting into nursing school because California is BRUTAL! You need...

  11. Baby RN's running ICU?!!

    Nienna Celebrindal replied to kmarieCCRN's topic in Critical Care

  12. RNs in the ICU?

    Nienna Celebrindal replied to Nkn86's topic in Critical Care

    Yeah this is a great debate and both sides get quite heated. IMO not really. As far as men it seems to depend on where you work. Most places I have worked have had very few to no men. But working at...

  13. I HATE bedside nursing

    Nienna Celebrindal replied to Sabr's topic in Medical-Surgical

    Start looking for something you will enjoy and when they ask why you are leaving your current job say something like, "I saw this position, its something I am very interested in doing." That's the...

  14. Mantra?... Whats yours??...

    Nienna Celebrindal replied to PrayingToPass's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    “Well, we all make mistakes, dear, so just put it behind you. We should regret our mistakes and learn from them, but never carry them forward into the future with us.” ― L.M. Montgomery, Anne...

  15. Sharing faith at work

    Nienna Celebrindal replied to Nienna Celebrindal's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    Thank you for being one of the few people to actually answer my question, I had kind of given up on this thread since people took it in a million different directions. I like that, it feels very...

  16. RN vs. PN exam

    Nienna Celebrindal replied to TheAverageMan's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I completely agree. I don't know where these rumors that LVNs are so much dumber that RN students can just waltz in an pass the test because its so easy but it literally makes me see

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

    Nienna Celebrindal replied to Summers3's topic in General Students

    Its absolutely possible as long as your job will work around your classes. Its not easy but its doable. Time management and prioritization are

  18. Perfume at work?

    Nienna Celebrindal replied to fawnmarie's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I honestly think its a terrible idea. When I had my last baby I had a nurse who wore perfume and ugh it made me nauseated. Trying to enjoy your new baby while recovering and fighting nausea from...

  19. Best Shoes?

    Nienna Celebrindal replied to Katelyn38841's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Sanita and dansko are popular, personally I happiest in my Brooks running

  20. new grad LPN needing advice pls!

    Nienna Celebrindal replied to seaviolet's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I would not go with excelsior or Indiana State. Excelsiors credits don't transfer. The CA BRN decided to strip Indiana State of its ability to teach student living here (big red flag in my opinion). I...

  21. Communication Problems at Clinical

    Nienna Celebrindal replied to MeganStar's topic in General Students

    If the person you need to talk to is not discussing school or patient case, just say, "Excuse me for interrupting but I need to discuss x,y,z with you." Don't be afraid, just say it professionally....

  22. I just cried in my car :'(

    Nienna Celebrindal replied to Twinkle007's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I have taken both the PN and RN and I cried like a baby for the rest of the day both times convinced 100% I failed. I even cried during my RN test. I passed both on the first attempt. Big hugs, take a...

  23. How to I address this with my boss

    Nienna Celebrindal posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    I need help, I'll try to keep this short and sweet. I'm a new grad RN, I accepted a position to work as CNA until January when I would be put into the hospitals new grad program and transitioned to an...

  24. I am wondering if I can do it

    Nienna Celebrindal replied to dory123's topic in LPN to RN

    Having been an LVN for 12 year and an Corpsman in the Navy for 4 years I say with some conviction that you just need to power through school. Because nothing is really going to prepare you for school,...

  25. How do LPN to RN prerequisites work?

    Nienna Celebrindal replied to jocelynpotano's topic in LPN to RN

    You would think it would but it depends on the school in my experience. You have to call tehm and find out. As far as the pre-reqs I was pretty slow to get my BSN after my LVN and I saw very little...
