My mom did the day she was discharged. It just makes me sick that there are nurses out there like that

My mom had surgery last week and was treated well up until she was in recovery. My mom is not a needy person and tolerates pain very well. She asked for pain meds for the first time, she hit the nurses button and her nurse came in just pass the door and said "what" my mom started to say "the pain is" and the nurse interrupted and said "let me guess you want pain meds" my mom said "yes please" the nurse rolled her eyes and left the room. My mom, Stepdad and I just looked at each other.20 mins went by so I went to the nurses station and what is her nurse doing, talking on her cell giggling away!!! I said "excuse me Miss" she looked at me and said "um I'm on the phone" another nurse overheard and asked me what was going on so I told her and she said I'll be right in. She came into my moms room and apologized so many times for the other nurse and took it upon herself to give my mom Tue meds and then called the Dr to let him know what happened to cover her butt. My mom looked at me and said "you'll do great in nursing school and you and the nurse who helped me will leave nurses like that in the dust" I overheard the Dr talking to the nurse who was suppose to be taking care of my mom and apparently this is not her 1st time doing this , I'd like to know why she still has a job!!

Omg I haven't laughed this hard in so long!!

Just took my entrance exam today so my waiting game has only just begun

That is exactly how I'm hoping the test is

Thanks!!

Thanks I will give them a call on Mon

Thanks!!!

I have spoke with my admissions rep and he said he doesn't know what the test is called or what it consists of

People have mentioned so many types of test and honestly its confusing me on what to actually study. The school is Lake Area Technical Institute. They said for me to purchase Kaplan Nursing Entrance Exam: Your Complete Guide To Getting InTo Nursing School.......it doesn't say what kind of test it is so I have no idea, on math , anything beyond multiplying fractions, ratios and decimals I'm in huge trouble and the science section is , in my opinion, ridiculous. There are VERY FEW sections about actual heath science, I'm stressing, I want to be a nurse not a scientist or astronaut. This is for practical nursing to get my LPN degree then move on to RN. Does anyone know which test it would be, what it would consist of and if there happens to be a practice test anywhere?
