  8. 1st semester vs 2nd semsester of LPN school

    I think the second is harder. The first was tough because it was all our basics-so a lot of memorization. But the second half is our "meat and potatoes" Yup, my vote is the second half is harder but...

  11. Wearing scrubs in public...

    Maybe the high guys in the tower want us spreading germs...it's good for business.... I do think, however, that only those directly involved with patient care should wear scrubs. The hospital I just...
  12. Nursing shortages/careers

    It frustrates me also. I wish the media would educate the public about what nurses are really up against and the effect of the entire healthcare industry on patient care. I think they would be...
  13. Job when finished with school...

    I don't know if we ever get a real job fair, so to speak, but I know that our clinical sites always have their eye out and will extend offers. I would love to have a job lined up before school...

    I agree! Go to someone else! I was constantly ignored and brushed off when I was having very, very odd things going on with my pregnancy. I told them time and time again that I knew something...

  22. Other Great Careers in Healthcare

    Nobody seems to get involved in anything that has do with something other than themselves. I felt so bad for the patient. What a great last impression as you leave! These are all great ideas! I...
  23. Other Great Careers in Healthcare

  24. I understand all of you! I am 25 and get ID'd for LOTTERY TICKETS!!! People always say, "Wow-I thought you were 17." It drives me nuts! I am small and don't wear make-up, which I am sure...
