11-7 for now and there's a possibility that I may get to pick up 7-7 at a later date.

I'm a new LPN who is starting nights in a LTC facility on Monday. What can I expect to do on nights? I previously worked from 3-11 and stayed busy most of the time so I'm hoping I'll be busy on nights too. I understand there's not as many meds to give on nights. Also any advice on what I should carry in my nursing bag? Advice is appreciated. Thanks.

I'm in Southeastern Kentucky, about 45 miles south of Lexington. I got my first LPN job working in long term care a week and a half after passing my NCLEX back in February. It was my first interview also.

Unofficial results say I passed!!!!!

I took my NCLEX-PN this moring at 8am. Exam stopped at 80 something questions ( not sure of the exact number). Tried the Pearson Vue trick and got a popup saying "Our records indicate that you have recently scheduled this exam. Please contact your board member for further assistance. Another registration cannot be made at this time". Is this the good popup? Thanks.

I graduated on December 9th and I'm still waiting on my school to release my transcript to the Kentucky board of nursing and looks like I'm going to be waiting longer cause school was closed all last week and all this week. This wait is driving me crazy!!

Hello everyone. I graduated from my LPN program on December 9th. I live in Kentucky. I have completed my application to the board or nursing for a nursing license, I have completed both background checks required, registered to take nclex, and taken and passed the Kentucky jurisprudence exam to get my provisional license. I'm waiting on the school to complete their part of the paperwork for the bon. The wait is driving me up the wall. About how long did you have to wait after graduation to take the nclex-pn? Thanks.

Passed my ATI comprehensive on Monday, it gave me a 95% chance of passing NCLEX on first try. Good luck to everyone.

My instructor says the ATI questions now are Nclex questions from the previous years Nclex. I've also been told that ATI is almost identical to the Nclex. I actually have a ATI comprehensive final in December at which point an ATI representative is going to meet with the class to discuss a review for the Nclex. I think you have a good chance at passing the Nclex with predictor scores like that. Good luck

At my school we aren't allowed to do our preceptorship where we work. We have went to several different places during our clinicals and we were told that if we liked a certain clinical place that we should ask someone there if we could do our preceptorship there; if not we can call around or walk in and ask to speak to someone about doing our preceptorship. If you have somewhere in mind I would call and ask or maybe go in and talk to some of the nurses who work there and get their input. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

Thanks everyone for the help. Instructors are just not in tune with each other or something . I was practicing wound care today in the lab and when I set up my supplies like one instructor showed me the nursing program coordinator said that I set my stuff up wrong, I should have told her that's the way I was told to do it but was too afraid to say anything

What is the correct way to measure a wound without touching it? I have wound care check offs coming up and two different instructors telling the class two different things. One instructor uses a large swab to measure depth of wound and actually touches the bottom of the wound, other instructor says it's OK to use swab but not to touch any part of the wound with the swab. Whole class is confused. Someone please help.

One of my instructors is married to one of his former nursing students

I went out and got white thermal pants and white t shirt to wear under mine. Teacher suggested white leggings but I couldn't find any of those. I just don't like the idea of anyone being able to see my undergarments.

Hi everyone. My first clinical day is scheduled for tomorrow and it's going to be a lab sim. What exactly is a lab sim? My instructor didn't explain anything, she just gave the class a copy of our clinical schedule so it's left some of us confused. Thanks.
