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 g...

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

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.

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 ...

Unofficial results say I passed!!!!!

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 c...

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 tak...

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...

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 prece...

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 tou...

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 m...

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

She was in the Nevada Senate and the Nevada Assembly. She was also a State Controller.

Chaz Higgs is probably who you're talking about. I've read the book about it called Poisoned Love. He was also suspected of murdering his wife's deceased husband while caring for him in the hospital but it has since been proven that he died from na...

Donald Harvey killed patient's in London, KY at the former Marymount Hospital and also at some other hospitals. For a long time people that lived in and around London called it Murdermount Hospital because of this.

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....

My first day of clinical is November 5th and I'm a nervous wreck but excited at the same time.

You can do it. I'm started my LPN program back in August and I'm 36. I'm also a single mother of 3. Go for it.

I'm finishing up week 6 tomorrow and so far have had 3 exams, which I passed . It's so exciting and nerve racking at the same time. Good luck to us all :)

I also got a Littmann classic ll SE but I got mine from my college bookstore. I tried mine out as soon as I got home and I can hear through it really well.

Congratulations my first day is tomorrow (today) too.

Forgive me for ranting but I'm seriously freaking out. I have been unable to locate a copy of my immunization record and my LPN classes start on Monday. My last immunizations were done at a urgent care center so I contacted them in June about gettin...

I finally got my immunization record in the mail yesterday thanks to the previous college I was planning to attend back in 2006. Now I can stop stressing over that and start stressing over my first day of class which is this Monday!! Being 36 I'm ne...
