This was me a few weeks ago. I was on my own for the first time tonight. I had five weeks of or. They would give me more if I wasn't confident. It takes time to learn patients. I had cheat sheets(who gets crused/hole/tube) and other things. I'm respo...
I started my first job as a LPN and I am beyond overwhelmed with the workload. My feet are killing me. I honestly questioned myself the first few weeks if I made the right decision. I know I did and this is part of my duties. I felt nursing school ne...
Yes it's LTC on what they consider the hardest hall in the facility. Which they never usually hire new nurses for. I'm slow at my morning med pass it is ridiculous.

Do what you can. I worked pt, went to school at night and have a 4 year old I made it through I also know several other women in my class who worked Ft and supported their entire family while In school I say it's all in your determination
I haven't studied at all for it. None of my classmates have either and so far everyone that has taken it have been cut off between 75-100 questions. I answered a few ati questions since graduation but that's all.
Read everything. Make your own notes from reading or lectures, record lectures. Utilize YouTube, quizlet and this site!! You will do great!! Good luck!!
Congrats to both of you!! As far as math if you have a good teacher she or he will be able to explain it in a way that makes sense to you!! It's worth it! I just graduated and took NCLEX this past Monday!!

I know several people who have held down jobs and children. It's all in your determination. I worked 20/hrs a week. And studied my life away. I did not have a Social life at all.
Kind of dragged my rear about paying everything plus the money wasn't there. I mailed in my identification sheet to NCBON today they should have it by noon tomorrow. I am Being fingerprinted(livescan) tomorrow How long did you guys wait for your ATT...
Look into programs in your area to help with daycare or even the schools you are thinking of applying to. I went back to school when my little one was 9 months. I moved back to my parents but he went to daycare(I had assistance from our local DSS) al...
