  1. Anyone went to MID-MANHATTAN for their LPN

    Lovely_RN replied to kadiamriverside's topic in New York Nursing

    My mom went to mid-Manhattan almost 20 years ago and one of the LPNs at my clinical site graduated from there about 10 years ago. I took the test for the entrance exam, it's called the C-net, in 2004...

  2. When did you graduate? When did you get you ATT......

    Lovely_RN replied to CareBayer's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Grades came in on the 17th and pinning was on the 20th. I sent my papers to BON and paid the NCLEX fee on the 17th. The school said they sent out their paperwork on the 19th. I'm still waiting and...

  3. How long did nursing school take for you?

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

    11 months for LPN w/ RN pre-reqs. I'm hoping to do the RN through EC and finish within a

  4. Am I CRAZY to stay in school?

    Lovely_RN replied to chnc1024's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It's wonderful that you don't have to worry about money anymore. Now you can pursue you eduction to the highest level if you want to and not have to worry about work/ school

  5. LTC or Clinic for a new grad?

    Lovely_RN replied to Lovely_RN's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Thanks for the feedback, I'm still not sure about what I want but I guess time will tell me what to do. I have held off on sending in my resume with my friend because I want to see what happens at...

  6. Mandatory CNA!!!!

    Lovely_RN replied to henryswife's topic in General Nursing

    I agree Witchy. We also had plenty of former CNAs who just wouldn't let it go! I think in some cases a blank slate is better to work with then trying to erase years of conditioning. Some of the CNAs...

  7. Mandatory CNA!!!!

    Lovely_RN replied to henryswife's topic in General Nursing

    I agree, it took me a week of LPN school to learn what it took 8 weeks to learn in CNA

  8. No prior nursing exp.... Excelsior

    Lovely_RN replied to BethT's topic in Online Distance Learning

    EC is for LPNs, EMTs, RT, PAs, and Docs. If your qualifications do not meet any of these criteria then you are not eligible for the program. CNAs are not eligible for ECs RN

  9. I want to cry- it is my dream to become a nurse, but I don't understand the classes:(

    Lovely_RN replied to tiffany311's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Tiffany, I don't think anyone is trying to be mean to you. What people are trying to explain is that this is only the beginning! Part of nursing school is being able to figure things out and...

  10. Pinning ceremony today, sad

    Lovely_RN replied to faithful1's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I understand completely, mine was last night. I guess it's normal to feel this

  11. 1st Year Nursing school books

    Lovely_RN replied to Nirrah's topic in General Nursing

    I would look on craigslist or amazon and buy them used. Unless it's a workbook it doesn't need to be new. College bookstores are the biggest rip-off around, they charge you an arm and a leg and when...

  12. I experience physical symptoms when I think about my job!

    Lovely_RN replied to TheCommuter's topic in General Nursing

    Ah-ha now i get it. I can't blame you for wanting to take your vacation since you have probably been waiting all year for it. It seems like you are going to have to stick it out then. Just count...

  13. How is this fair?????????

    Lovely_RN replied to jg11785's topic in General Nursing

    This was also made a requirement in my program after the fact. At first the ATI was introduced as a way to study and then all of a sudden we were obligated to pass the test to graduate! Nope it wasn't...

  14. Outsourcing nursing home patients.

    Lovely_RN replied to Jo Dirt's topic in General Nursing

    I wouldn't want to put my parents in a foreign nursing home. Who is going to regulate these facilities and what recourse will the families have in cases of neglect or abuse? The distance is also a...

  15. Should I take NC1? (I forgot what the new name is)

    Lovely_RN replied to agldragonRN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I'm a new LPN grad and I recommend that you focus on graduating from school and passing NCLEX first. They hit us with a killer "weed 'em out" final at the end. If I had been focusing on studying for...

  16. I experience physical symptoms when I think about my job!

    Lovely_RN replied to TheCommuter's topic in General Nursing

    Are you under contract? Are you going to get a bonus for staying until February? If not then there is no reason to stay any longer. I draw the line at being made physically ill on any job. Been...

  17. Anyone NOT taking NCLEX prep course?

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

    I'm not taking a prep course...too expensive! I'm going to keep doing my Saunders and I have access to the ATI tests so that will have to be

  18. St. Joseph's, Syracuse, NY---my CPNE test site---

    Lovely_RN replied to dessyrell's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Congrats on getting a date! I haven't even started EC yet and I am already nervous about the CPNE. Please keep us informed as to how you are preparing and of course give us the scoop once it's all...

  19. Should I report her?

    Lovely_RN replied to agldragonRN's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Pull her aside and show her your bruise then tell her that you don't want her to be expelled six weeks before graduation so you are going to do her a favor and not report her. Strongly advise her that...

  20. Scared Of Poop!!!!!!!!! Help!!!!!!!

    Lovely_RN replied to nursingstudent424's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I'm not full of it...that's just the way I feel. I've been a CNA and I have two children so I have wiped plenty of poopy bottoms in my time. I think it's a only a big deal if you make it out to be...

  21. A "dating female students in your class" post

    Lovely_RN replied to Jedi of Zen's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I'm a woman but I just had to respond to this. I'm an older (32) married woman and I had a young guy in my study group (22). He was one of three males in our class, the other two were taken, and he...

  22. Hey RN students aren't you red hot mad at this!!

    Lovely_RN replied to gt4everpn's topic in New York Nursing

    Thanks Pagandeva, also why is no one addressing the reasons why the BON has changed their rules? From what I am understanding the change was made because of issues with patient safety. If you have...

  23. Hey RN students aren't you red hot mad at this!!

    Lovely_RN replied to gt4everpn's topic in New York Nursing

    I know that the RN students do not like it but it's a regulation that benefits LPNs. The job market will not be flooded with temporary part-time workers who are going to move on within 6 months....

  24. The word GLOCK

    Lovely_RN replied to 123student's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Why don't you PM one of the mods or the forum Admin and ask them why you can't use the name? Also as a private forum the Admin has set the TOS and if you don't like it you can always exercise your...

  25. Scared Of Poop!!!!!!!!! Help!!!!!!!

    Lovely_RN replied to nursingstudent424's topic in First Year After Licensure

    If you can change a baby diaper and not get sick you can change an adult diaper no problem! Truly there is no difference they are both poop and they are both stinky. It's a mind thing because we...
