  1. NCLEX Blues

    GN1974 replied to pugsweluv's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Hi! I had 75 questions and it took me two hours to complete. I tried to focus. I am from Florida and have been an LPN for about ten years. I took it on Tuesday the 31st of May and the results...

  2. staying neutral in nursing ground zero

    GN1974 posted a topic in General Nursing

    Anyone else feel like everytime they are at work they are constantly politely changing the subject or avoiding the back stabbing, sarcasm, and pumped up egos? I am a new grad and find the way team...

  3. Nclex Exam 6 times

    GN1974 replied to kjolly15's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Not everyone seems to test well like you. I am not at all surprised it took 6 tries. Some great and wonderful nurses are just not good test takers. Kaplan, from what i hear, is good at helping...

  4. Need Advice On The Excelsior Program

    GN1974 replied to closatssl1's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Yes, Chip is right, the program is about $5,000. This includes all testing fees and clinical fees. You can get the books from half for a fraction of the price. You really only need some basic books...

  5. Need Advice On The Excelsior Program

    GN1974 replied to closatssl1's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I 100% agree with you on the non LPN students being admitted into the program. They did some damage. I define incompetent by several facors--safety. critical thinking, time management, making...

  6. Need Advice On The Excelsior Program

    GN1974 replied to closatssl1's topic in Online Distance Learning

    It really just boils down to common sense....there will always be good and bad nurses no matter where they graduated from. I work with 2 other Excelsior grads and they are way better nurses than most...

  7. I passed I passed I passed!!!

    GN1974 posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I really thought I failed the NCLEX. I had 75 questions and the last few I missed were level 1 type questions. I had several (like 10+) select more than one answer. I was so sure I had failed. It...

  8. It's over I am now an RN!!!

    GN1974 posted a topic in Online Distance Learning

    I passed the NCLEX!!! I just had to share. It was an extremely hard test. I had 75 questions and many of the new style questions. Thank you Lord and thanks for the support of the board. Karen RN...

  9. Nclex-rn Study Books

    GN1974 replied to nurse051's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I just passed the NCLEX and think saunders is great. I had a bunch of review books but found Saunders the best with good questions. The Mosby's online CAT style assessment tests are the closest to...

  10. LPN's giving Rhogam

    GN1974 replied to peds2002's topic in General Nursing

    I had a MA give it to me at my ob/gyn office during my last pregnancy. I see no reason why an LPN can't administer it. It is a blood product but does not require the checks and verification of...

  11. I Passed with 76 Questions!!

    GN1974 replied to careerdejour's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

  12. NCLEX Blues

    GN1974 replied to pugsweluv's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

  14. Orlando

    GN1974 replied to taltos's topic in Florida Nursing

    Yes, I really like the job so far. There is a lot of support for new grads and my preceptor has been really good. Have you started yet? Let me know how it goes. My advise is be prepared for that...

  15. Need Advice On The Excelsior Program

    GN1974 replied to closatssl1's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I think a large part of the stigma with Excelsior grads has come to light fairly recently. Californias decision made several other boards look into the program. Kansas stopped taking Excelsior grads...

  16. Need Advice On The Excelsior Program

    GN1974 replied to closatssl1's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I must agree with Chris on going to a traditional school versus Excelsior. Even if you make it through the program , people do tend to question the degree. I am fortunate to have been able to get a...

  17. Board of Nursing's take on Excelsior or U of Phoenix?

    GN1974 replied to so_jaded's topic in Florida Nursing

    Florida does only take LPN's who are currently on their registry. I just finished Excelsiors program and am taking boards soon. I had no problems getting my authorization to test here. I called...

  18. excelsior college-how do the clinicals work?

    GN1974 replied to sunshine23's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    The clinical part is given over a weekend once you have completed the nursing concepts exams (it is a performance exam that gives credit of pass or fail upon completion..no teaching involved) and are...

  19. this is off base when it comes to LPN's

    GN1974 posted a topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    http://www.amda.com/caring/october2004/lpns.htm I know I have my share of debates when it comes to scopes of practice but this article is really off base! I guess after reading this article I agree...

  20. 1)Feeling picked on, 2) How much is too much? A vent of a nurse/mom loosing her mind.

    GN1974 replied to estrogen's topic in General Nursing

    That really does stink! I really feel for you. Hang in there...we all have had days like that! I agree with blue eyes take a hot bath and do something nice for yourself. No one can be the super...

  21. LPN in ICU?

    GN1974 replied to nurseyNJNYC's topic in MICU, SICU

    No LPN's here in the ICU at my hospital. I just got hired as a GN and will have to complete an ECG course, ACLS, and the critical care course to maintain employment on the PCU/ICU floor. There are...

  22. LPN's in infectious disease

    GN1974 replied to Mistify's topic in Infectious Disease

    Wow, Hazel I am sure that you have plenty of experience! I agree I think LPN's are suited to work in infectious disease. I am sure you have seen plenty of changes in the profession over time...

  23. Comment about LPNs made by clinical instructor

    GN1974 replied to FutureIsBlue's topic in General Nursing

    You will find people in all professions who may not be deserving of their titles. Just because I have seen an RN act unprofessionally certainly does not mean that the RN profession is over rated. I...
