  1. Getting into Nursing Just to Get a JOB!!

    Lovely_RN replied to allison_lpn's topic in General Nursing

    I actually bust out laughing when I read this. Thanks for the lecture...that's also another great thing about America opinions are like a certain part of the anatomy everyone has one and yours...

  2. Getting into Nursing Just to Get a JOB!!

    Lovely_RN replied to allison_lpn's topic in General Nursing

    Hey let's not insult the fine workers of McDonald's O.K? Yeah I believe the person who wrote that is serious and I sooo understand where they are coming from. Please, most of my residents think I'm...

  3. Getting into Nursing Just to Get a JOB!!

    Lovely_RN replied to allison_lpn's topic in General Nursing

    I don't care about why someone gets into nursing it's none of my business. As long as they can do the job with competence and compassion then their reasons really don't matter. The only thing that...

  4. Are NCLEX passing rates misleading??

    Lovely_RN replied to gt4everpn's topic in General Students

    This is a dirty little secret about nursing school that most people don't discover until they are in the program. When I did my LPN course we started with 30 and graduated 18. 17 passed on first try...

  5. Saunders Study Calendar

    Lovely_RN posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I am finally ready to begin studying for NCELX. I have the Saunder's 4th edition (blue cover) and I just finished the 75 question assessment. I got an overall score of 76% with 57 out of 75 question...

  6. Got fire because manager said I need some critical thinking

    Lovely_RN replied to HNursing's topic in General Nursing

    I feel really bad for you but I can kind of see things from your employers point of view. I can tell from reading your post that English is not your first language. Maybe you can take some classes to...

  7. How often can I say no?

    Lovely_RN replied to DAMomma's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I requested that I not be offered any OT and they stopped calling. This won't work if you want it in the future but I've decided that if I want OT that I will sign up for outside agency. I know I can...

  8. why are there still LPN courses?

    Lovely_RN replied to johnsboo's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Exactly, people who haven't spent a minute in your shoes basically disregard and disrespect your title and then when you respond in a negative fashion they say it's because your jaded and

  9. Anyone else feeling frustrated with their job?

    Lovely_RN replied to RN1982's topic in General Nursing

    I am horribly frustrated with my current job and I'm stuck because I'm pregnant. So no job searching for me until I after I have this baby. I will likely only be working at this place for another 8-10...

  10. How young is too young to teach LPN students?

    Lovely_RN replied to dblpn's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I think that recent experience in the clinical field is a plus. It's better than being taught by someone who hasn't worked as a bedside nurse in 25+ years and is clueless about what is going on in the...

  11. Montefiore in the Bronx

    Lovely_RN replied to EnergizerNurse's topic in New York Nursing

    I got a callback for a clinic job at Montefiore when I was a new grad but I decided not to take it because the hours would have kept me from going back for my RN. I never did get any response for any...

  12. why are there still LPN courses?

    Lovely_RN replied to johnsboo's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    This is the topic that never dies. :icon_roll Trust me if there was no need for LPNs then there wouldn't be any

  13. Why does sleep deprivation have to be a part of my LPN training?

    Lovely_RN replied to username44's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    That is a really excessive amount of homework. We didn't have to do the half of that for our LPN or RN

  14. Why does sleep deprivation have to be a part of my LPN training?

    Lovely_RN replied to username44's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I pondered the same exact things when I was in nursing school. It seemed to me that torture was big part of the curriculum and no it's not like that once you graduate. I don't know why many nursing...

  15. Does anyone have a non-nursing specific Bachelors degree?

    Lovely_RN replied to eirnwilli's topic in General Nursing

    I have a B.A in communications and I just finished an ADN program. There are quite a few schools in my area that will allow you to go ADN to MSN if you have a non-nursing bachelors degree so I don't...

  16. BSN RN & Certifications not allowed on my badge: I am outraged!

    Lovely_RN replied to Simba2241's topic in General Nursing

    I have a B.A in a non-nursing area...worked really hard for it too. Wrote tons of lengthy papers, took plenty of math and science classes, and where did it ever really get me? There are plenty of...

  17. Does your state require you to have your CNA to get your LPN

    Lovely_RN replied to nicholeaylett's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    My state (NY) doesn't require the CNA to get into an LPN program. Since I was once a CNA, am currently an LPN, and having just graduated from an RN program I think I can give my opinion on this...

  18. Can you be a LPN after 1 year of nursing school?

    Lovely_RN replied to SingDanceRunLife's topic in New York Nursing

    As of June 2007 this is no longer an option for NY RN students. These are the reasons why.

  19. why do you care if a student misses class?

    Lovely_RN replied to picurn10's topic in General Students

    I missed as many days as I could get away with. The only thing I never missed was clinical because my school would drop you for missing more than two and you had to pay to make up if you had less than...

  20. I got needlestuck :P

    Lovely_RN replied to simvee's topic in General Nursing

    I think odds are in your favor. I wish you the best of

  21. RN to??? Suggestions on where to go from here

    Lovely_RN replied to RN6768's topic in General Nursing

    Do you have to go anywhere from here right now? Why the big rush to further you education? If you're employed, happy with your job/salary then why stress yourself out with more school when you don't...

  22. Last weeks of Nursing School!!!!!!!!!!!

    Lovely_RN replied to motivated2nurse's topic in General Students

    Congrats to you!!! My last exam in on Tuesday April 14th!!! Pinning isn't until May but who cares about that when I only have two more days to go! Best of luck to all the Spring '09 grads

  23. Don't want to be a nurse anymore

    Lovely_RN replied to belindalou's topic in First Year After Licensure

    You really need to stop working so much OT. I know your job will pull the guilt trip on you and cry about how short staffed they are but you are not obligated to work so much. Nursing is hard,...

  24. Abandonment

    Lovely_RN replied to kamani811's topic in General Nursing

    I think the key is documentation. If you don't put into writing that you are refusing the assignment then you can't prove what you did or didn't do regarding taking report and accepting an assignment....

  25. Abandonment

    Lovely_RN replied to kamani811's topic in General Nursing

    I'm going according to what is says in my states nurse practice act. That is why I questioned how could she prove that she didn't take report? Also, how can she prove that she did give the facility a...
