I have been reading from this site for over an hour AND IT'S AMAZING. thanks Esme for putting it out there

If I told you that all of your dreams could come true in 10 years, would you tell me you couldn't wait that long...

LOL, this is the really hard stuff...

I don't think the right message here is "only study a little and pray a lot"... Wouldn't want that nurse..

Yup they still do

Have they already accepted you in the program and seen the tattoos? They do get pretty strict about hair (always had to be up and back), make up (minimal and neutral), and nailpolish ( none or clear unchipped). But I think you should continue to co...

First off, this is your journey and this school is only supposed to supply a path, so if you feel ready then you probably are. Be confident, be excited, and use what you already know as a CNA to propel you. I was always very scared of instructors t...

Anyone care to share their stories in a PM?

INCREDIBLY!!!...Sheesh.. some people

Meet my mentor ladies and gentlemen!!!!!

I have always heard that when you are ready to do something great for yourself, something terrible will always try to stop you. In your case, you may be that terrible thing. As moonchild86 says, nobody likes writing care plans and everybody would l...

You are psyching yourself out, don't commit to a date until you're ready then go for it. Good Luck!

Can't comment on the pay but as far as getting your feet wet and getting into the swing of things, go for it (it you have the time.) I got my CNA license to give me some experience and to put on nursing application and it worked. I learned a lot in...

ChrissySnowRN, are you at an LTC or a LTAC?... huge difference.

I'm stealing it too, shoulda got a patent!!!

I just hope my preceptor is as excited to mentor as I am to learn.

I am a super excited new grad LPN who was fortunate enough to get hired in at an LTAC hospital! I've started orientation and go with my preceptor next week and am letting my nerves get the best of me. What do I know, what should I know, what are pr...

I agree with pinkblue82, there probably is a relocation wait time. When I graduated I didn't want to work LTC so I didn't apply for any of those jobs. I didn't like med/surg either so I know how you feel but a job is a job and $ is $. Get what you...

AAAAWWWW, I'm so excited for you all! Graduated from OU cohort C in April and now have a job in an LTAC hospital! Hope all of you have the wonderful experience of working under --------------- (in my opinion everyone should). Do not forget a single...

Thank you, but I'm working LTAC so passing meds are the least of my troubles!! I do plan on keeping my positive attitude though:smug:

Wow, I posted a LTAC thread under my state of MI because I din't think to look here first. I am a new grad LPN and got hired at an LTAC. I was very excited to be able to work with more complex cases but I am getting a little anxiety over it. I am ...

Um, you are amazing!!This is helpful to everyone. So, I'm a new grad LPN from MI and NAPNES certified, this means I can do an IV push?...don't want to get terminology wrong

It's nice to hear a non judgemental nurse finally speak. What legitimally goes on between patient and doctor should not be held against the nurse as a future employee. Shame on the rest of you for being so mean.

I'm a new LPN and got hired as a private duty nurse. The amount of things that are required on a daily basis seems ridiculous. There are notebooks of things to be done, things that seem to be for PT, OT, CNA, nurse and housekeeping. The regimin that...
