  1. What does an LPN do in a physician's office?

    BlackBettyRN,OCN replied to Lmomma's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    I work as an LPN in an urgent care clinic, so my experience may be slightly different from a "traditional" doctor's office. I put the patients into the room, get a brief history of what they are here...

  2. Tips for Pharmacology

    BlackBettyRN,OCN replied to Mommy_RN1211's topic in General Students

    My program is the same way. We don't have a Pharmacology class, but we have to take ATI tests. We have to score a Level 2 or 3 on the ATIs to stay in the program, including the ATI Pharmacology test....

  3. Nursing school is not a back up plan!

    BlackBettyRN,OCN replied to happyinmyheart's topic in General Students

    We all have our own reasons for attending nursing school. If I told you that nursing was my dream job, I'd be lying. I'm not saying I don't love nursing now, but when I began college, becoming a nurse...

  4. Can I still work as an LPN after I become an RN?

    BlackBettyRN,OCN posted a topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I am currently working as an LPN at a SNF PRN while I'm finishing up my BSN. I am under a contract to work at a certain hospital upon graduating and becoming an RN. My question is, can I still keep my...

  5. NP programs that do not require RN Experience/LOR's?

    BlackBettyRN,OCN replied to prettyboyswag's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    What kind of NP program are you looking for and where are you located? The one I am applying to doesn't require RN experience for admission, but you have to have at least 2000 hours of experience...

  6. Help me understand....

    BlackBettyRN,OCN replied to Anna Flaxis's topic in Emergency

    Yet she brought her child to the

  7. I will keep using MCQ for passing my exams regardless school policy. I just need to

    BlackBettyRN,OCN replied to ismelp5's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yep, if that is the case, then you could absolutely be kicked out of school for using this site. It's not worth the risk, and will not help you in passing the NCLEX. Good luck to

  8. I will keep using MCQ for passing my exams regardless school policy. I just need to

    BlackBettyRN,OCN replied to ismelp5's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Usually if it is an instructor test bank, you have to pay for it. The linked you included does not look like a test bank. I don't see how your school could kick you out for studying NCLEX-style...

    BlackBettyRN,OCN replied to ismelp5's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Your post is kind of confusing. I can't tell if you are using a test bank to study for tests or if you are just using NCLEX-style questions. As I have never heard of a school not allowing students to...

  10. Still Waiting...Patiently

    BlackBettyRN,OCN replied to trepeace's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Email your state board of nursing. I know when I was waiting for my ATT, for some reason when I registered with PearsonVue, it didn't automatically alert the state board of nursing that I had done so....

  11. Career Issues

    BlackBettyRN,OCN replied to cmaysonet's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Ok I'm confused. Why are you majoring in liberal arts if your goal is to become a nurse? Are you planning on completing your prerequisite classes at the community college and then transferring to a...

  12. Failed 1st Semester of Nursing Program

    BlackBettyRN,OCN replied to Ty2016's topic in General Students

    I agree with the PP. If this is your last chance at nursing school, you don't want to mess it up by biting off more than you can chew. Can you postpone the remaining classes for your other major until...

  13. Need Advice on Senior Preceptorship Selection

    BlackBettyRN,OCN posted a topic in General Students

    Hi everyone, First off, forgive me, for I made a thread similar to this one several months ago. However, my circumstances have changed, and I am in need of some advice. I am about to start my senior...

    Thanks for your response! That makes me feel 100%

  15. HR's mistake hurt my paycheck

    BlackBettyRN,OCN replied to 33-weeker's topic in General Nursing

    Right? That was my first thought after reading this. Did none of her patients have meds scheduled for those six hours? How did she access the Pyxis (irrelevant if her facility doesn't use

  16. Need Advice on Senior Preceptorship Selection

    BlackBettyRN,OCN replied to BlackBettyRN,OCN's topic in General Students

    Thanks for your response. Yes, I'm sure this issue is much simpler than I am making it out to be. I agree with your idea of doing my preceptorship on the oncology floor and hopefully getting a job on...

  17. Need Advice on Senior Preceptorship Selection

    BlackBettyRN,OCN replied to BlackBettyRN,OCN's topic in General Students

    Thanks so much for your response! Yes, I don't like my chances of getting a job on the psych floor right away as a new grad. I was kind of leaning towards what you were saying, but I really just...

  18. Failed the RN program still want to be an Rn . Help !

    BlackBettyRN,OCN replied to student0810's topic in General Students

    Maybe something awful did happen to the OP. I don't know. None of us know because she's only ever posted one post on this site. She never gave us any explanation of her circumstances or why she failed...

  19. Failed the RN program still want to be an Rn . Help !

    BlackBettyRN,OCN replied to student0810's topic in General Students

    Telling someone they will do great is only encouraging if you know they will do great. The OP has already failed two classes, so telling her she will do great in another program is nothing but false...

  20. Failed the RN program still want to be an Rn . Help !

    BlackBettyRN,OCN replied to student0810's topic in General Students

    GrnTea is a very well known member on this forum, and she has many years of experience in nursing. While her response to the OP may seem harsh, your telling the OP that she will do great, when you...

  21. Didn't pass the NCLEX RN due to anxiety

    BlackBettyRN,OCN replied to LSoMagical's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    If you were at the point of near panic (heart pounding, urgent need to leave the testing center), you may have some kind of test anxiety. Did you ever experience these kind of feelings when you took...

    BlackBettyRN,OCN replied to kaseykeller's topic in General Students

    Are you seeing a therapist or taking any kind of medication for your anxiety? Everyone struggles with learning the practical skills of nursing at first. Usually it just takes time and practice....

  23. Sit for LPN after 2 semesters of BSN?

    BlackBettyRN,OCN replied to bburden319's topic in General Students

    My state allows it. I just passed the LPN boards this summer. Just ask your program director if it is an option; the only thing we had to do differently than regular LPN candidates was take a quick...
