  1. RN student - can I challenge the LVN/LPN NCLEX?

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

    sigh, i'm just telling you what is says in the scope of practice for lpn's under the guidelines for nys. you may call it junk or whatever you like but that is what is basically says in the scope of...

  2. Ok, here's another NCLEX-type question for you

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

    I say #3, ABC and then safety, in this case the patient isn't having ABC issues so safety

  3. RN student - can I challenge the LVN/LPN NCLEX?

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

    I don't think it's such a bad idea because most RN students are taught to be autonomous (within the limits of their scope of practice of course)and LPN's are taught to not be autonomous. Right now I...

  4. Something that I'm so SICK of hearing...

    Lovely_RN replied to missymarie26's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am actually enjoying nursing school...it can be challenging at times but it's not that hard. I tend to listen to my classmates and what I have noticed is that the ones who are having the most...

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

    This will no longer be true in NYS after June 1,

  6. Apologizing for being "just an LPN"

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

    I am completing the LPN portion of my nursing program right now and I can't wait to get my license. I have already been told by non-nurses who are hung up on titles that it is better to be an RN but I...

  7. There are no accredited programs in my area

    Lovely_RN replied to mommy06's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I might consider it if I didn't have any other options but before I tried to get into an unaccredited school I would want to find out a few things. Like, what is the attrition rate and the NCLEX pass...

  8. LPN/LVN rate of pay in your area.

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

    Bronx, New York LTC and some private hospitals pay $23-25/hr plus 10% evenings and nights. The most I have heard of for an agency is $30/hr. The city hospitals pay the least (HHC) $37k to

  9. I HATE my job... what to do, what to do?

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

    Give the two weeks notice but if the boss flips out again leave immediately, you don't have to put up with his scary

  10. Dealing with female nursing students

    Lovely_RN replied to krazykev's topic in Men in Nursing

    Distance is the only thing that works when you are dealing with negative people. I got really tired of dealing with the negativity of some of my classmates so these days I excuse myself and go "find"...

  11. PREGNANT! What about school now!!!!

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

    I want to wish you luck and say that it can be done. I had my second baby in August 06 and started NS in January 07. I even took a pre-req that ended 3 weeks before I gave

  12. Will the BSN help ME... or will it matter?

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

    I think that if you are under 50 you should stay in the BSN program. The BSN may not seem that useful by today's standards but things do change. I refuse to be drawn into the ADN vs. BSN debate so if...

  13. AA hair care racist?

    Lovely_RN replied to vickynurse's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    nurse2be09 the Internet is a smaller world than I suspected I am also a "napptural" for

  14. AA hair care racist?

    Lovely_RN replied to vickynurse's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I wouldn't automatically assume the woman was a racist. It's more likely that she is hypersensitive and mis-interpreted the nurse's question. Many AA women, especially older women grew up hearing...

  15. LPN schools...just a business

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

    The only thing that matters is the pass rate and you can't get any better than

  16. I have to take the TEAS and NLN-PN exam in 9 days! Help!

    Lovely_RN posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    A school in my area is starting an LPN program in the Spring and I just found about it. They only have 30 seats so it's going to be very competitive. We are required to take the TEAS and the NLN-PN...

  17. Where Should I go?

    Lovely_RN replied to xjae's topic in New York Nursing

    My cousin is graduating from Hunter in May. She was a student at BMCC and transfered because there was a mix up about her getting into the evening program but I digress. She got into clinicals at...

  18. would you be a RN for $11.00/hr?

    Lovely_RN replied to PHLEBOTOMIST_TO_RN's topic in General Nursing

    Absolutely NOT! Those are poverty wages in NYC. I live in a cheap apartment in the Bronx and my rent is $998/month. $11/hr is $1540 a month before taxes, I would be homeless if I made that kind of...

  19. HELP! I DON"T WANT TO GO THROUGH CNA first...

    Lovely_RN replied to lookingforward's topic in General Nursing

    It's not just old folks who end up incontinient. Code browns happen amongst all age groups in the hospital. You can't even rely on going straight to a Peds or NICU setting to escape adult poop, what...

  20. Husbands or S/O's at routine exam

    Lovely_RN replied to walker shaw's topic in Ob/Gyn

    As long as it is truly ok with the patient I think it's a great idea to have a SO/spouse at the head of the bed. Some men are truly ignorant of female anatomy and can use all the help they can

  21. Help I have an Instructor that doesn't teach!

    Lovely_RN posted a topic in General Students

    I have a unique problem with my Fundamentals course, our instructor doesn't teach! I know there are a lot of bad nursing instructors out there but most of the time they aren't the chair of the nursing...

  22. Help I have an Instructor that doesn't teach!

    Lovely_RN replied to Lovely_RN's topic in General Students

    Daytonite, I think you hit it right on the money. This instructor is in her 60s and has an "old school" approach to nursing. Unfortunatley, blowing off class is not an option. If I told you how many...

  23. Help I have an Instructor that doesn't teach!

    Lovely_RN replied to Lovely_RN's topic in General Students

    I have read my syllabus more than one time and it hasn't helped. I will type it out for you all to read and then you can tell me if I am missing something. Course Objectives Idenfity Knowledge...

  24. Help I have an Instructor that doesn't teach!

    Lovely_RN replied to Lovely_RN's topic in General Students

    Exactly, what will she do if we ALL fail her class? I am doing my best to pass and I am trying to learn the material on my own. It's not that the concepts are difficult to understand because they are...

  25. Husbands or S/O's at routine exam

    Lovely_RN replied to walker shaw's topic in Ob/Gyn

    My Ob/Gyn did take the time to interview me during my initial pre-natal visit. He was a great doctor and I wish I could have had another like him for my second pregnancy. Too bad that providers have...
