I definitely would go for the night shift. My first job was at a ALF for the 1st shift and I was so overwhelmed and didn't have time to learn anything. When I accepted another position in a SNF working nights, the stress level went way down and there was plenty of time for me to learn and pick the brains of the seasoned nurses. I say go for the night shift :-)

I also passed with 85 questions my first time.

Congrats!!!

Obama/Biden!!!!!

Have you tried doing the Pearson Vue trick? I don't think I could manage waiting 4 long weeks to find out if I passed or not. No way, I would die. Why not do the pvt so that you can just know now and get it over with? No need going thru unnecessary stress. You're in my prayers. God Bless!

I wasn't asking the definition because I know what the dictionary says. I was asking you why because it just came across as if it was a bad thing that there were students who always got A's.

I'm just curious as to why you call the people who got A's overachievers?

Congratulations!!! Job well done and keep up the good work. Forget the haters!!! You're always going to have haters wherever you go, especially when you're successful at what you're doing. Ignore them because what good does it do to acknowledge them? Nothing, zero, zilch, nada! Do you and let them continue hating on you ;-)

That's your opinion. The OP posted here to get Everybody's opinion, not just one person's. No need to be so harsh simply because everybody doesn't think or feel the way you do. Lighten up...

Please disregard. I didn't mean to reply to you.

For goodness sake, do it the way your preceptor says. Your clinical instructors are not the ones signing off on your orientation. Your preceptor is in charge not your clinical instructors. When you were in school, you learned according to how your clinical instructors taught you. BUT you are no longer in school so why would you go against the person that could make a difference between staying employed after your orientation or back to looking in the classifieds?! Do it his/her way and then develop your own way once you're done and have your own patients. Just my two cents. Good luck to you...

Why do you need to say anything at all? It's nobody's business!!!! I'm sorry I just can't get into explaining to people things that they don't need to know. Just keep going along like you've been. Best of luck to you and God Bless!

You've got to be kidding me?!!!! ROTF LMBO!!!

Thank you for replying. Sucky part is that I don't live in Texas :-( but I appreciate the info. Yes, I'm a lpn. I guess I'll be doing the bridge with excelsior college. Thanks again and all the best with you completing the bridge program :-)

1busymaniam, do you mind me asking what online program you're doing? I'm looking into a bridge program now. Thank you!
