  1. Last Rally before Death

    Nienna Celebrindal replied to Ldgray's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with first. I have worked in hospice and this sounds like a rally. It could be the last itccould be one of several. You never really know. There will come a point though that the hospice...

  2. Afraid of loosing my job

    Nienna Celebrindal replied to Katniss88's topic in General Nursing

    If you feel like you are not a people person find a unit that lends itself more to that. You are still going to have to push yourself to be nicer and friendlier but you might find more success in the...

  3. Appropriate orientation attire

    Nienna Celebrindal replied to laurenmichelle3's topic in General Students

    Business casual. I always overdress when in doubt. Better to feel awkward because you look nice and professional than awkward because you look like you walked in from the

  4. Complete RN Program from Scratch

    Nienna Celebrindal replied to msdee's topic in General Students

  6. Scrubs addiction

    Nienna Celebrindal replied to Nursing24/7's topic in General Students

    I was like this as a new nurse, after a few years I simplified to solids because I got tired of matching lol. My current job all titles have a specific color (RNs in one color, RTs in another, CNAs...

  7. Noone replied to my question:-(:-(

    Nienna Celebrindal replied to Nikki1114's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Go to the board of nursing in Florida. Look up the names of the schools in your soon to be area, check out their pass rates, and start googling. I know there are good lpn schools down there I just...

  8. Whats in your clinical bag???

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

    I would not take a bp cuff, you need to sanitize it in between every patient. This is a huge infection control issue. If you have an isolation PT you can't use it. Use the

  9. nclex pn, will it cover med surg?

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

    According to Kaplan its only 25% of less. From talking to my cohort and my experience it seems more like 25-50%. Granted that was for the RN but I don't think they are really different. Expect some...

    Nienna Celebrindal replied to stirfried's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    Nienna Celebrindal replied to lifelearningrn's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    People looked at me with a little wide eyed horror when I said I worked in hospice and loved it. I would tell people immediately how passionate I felt because I found it caught them off guard and...

  12. Is Hospice nursing "easier"?

    Nienna Celebrindal replied to mgrenwic's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    Death can be ugly and stressful and require quite a bit of care so no definitely not. It's very emotional. but you do get to spend meaningful time with patients and families and guide people through a...

  14. Galen College of Nursing

    Nienna Celebrindal replied to sbtr50's topic in LPN to RN

    I have several friends who attended their St.Pete campus who loved it. It's tough though and they don't play on attendance. But all passed on their first

  15. Is it worth it?

    Nienna Celebrindal replied to TNurse4u's topic in LPN to RN

    You can do it! Don't give up. Find a positive mantra for yourself. It will get better. I was so nervous in my first skills lab I couldn't remember how to prep a

  16. nclex pn, will it cover med surg?

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

    It covers everything. Everything. When I took it i had a ton of OB

  17. NCLEX-RN: Anyone think it wasn't such a huge deal?

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

    Yeah I know someone who was one of the best students in our class, 99% on ati (iknow this ffor sure), great Kaplan scores and failed in 75 questions. Do not be

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

    You need to check with the BRN for that

  19. california nclex-ERs

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

    I honestly don't know. I think when I endorsed my license to Florida I had to provide a copy but that was for my lvn and like a decade ago. It took me more than a month to get my license in the mail...

  20. What is My Family Thinking?

    Nienna Celebrindal replied to flashpoint's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    And I love that you have a spine of steel and said no, good for you. You wouldn't be doing you or your cousin or anyone else taking her out camping in an unsafe situation.

  21. What is My Family Thinking?

    Nienna Celebrindal replied to flashpoint's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    What do you mean you don't work for free? I thought nurses whole purpose in life was self sacrifice?! Hope the sarcasm was super clear there, but honestly I think thats kind of how people see nurses....

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

    Nienna Celebrindal replied to Marvarapper's topic in General Students

    A problem I see you having in your line of thinking is when you said you did great in clinicals but not theory. Well that's all fine and good but that isn't going to get you to pass the NCLEX. It...

  24. Why do some people look down on LPNs?

    Nienna Celebrindal replied to eatlovepray04's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Yes in my experience most RNs appreciate LV/PNs. Any smart confident nurse wouldn't be silly enough to not appreciate knowledgeable help. So when you run into these nurses who don't like LVNs or...

  25. Tennessee/California LVN's

    Nienna Celebrindal replied to Natasha A.'s topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Honestly you should take some extra classes to bring up that GPA. Because the reality is, and I'm not trying to be mean but honest, is that is going to hurt you terribly. I see you are from the IE so...
