  1. Took NCLEX PN this AM...

    sharonp30 replied to CYoungLPN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Are you saying that it's just like the Kaplan entrance exam? I have to take the Kaplan soon for LPN school, so I was just wondering. Thank you.

  2. New Grad Leaving Hospital for Office Job

    sharonp30 replied to IcySageNurse's topic in Nursing Career

    I don't think that you were "mean". This poster really slapped every nurse in the face with this post. Stating that the job was demeaning, not if you are secure within your own self. I feel that the...

  3. Strike breaking agency recruiting nurses

    sharonp30 replied to lindarn's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    So years ago when Southern Bell was a separate company from AT&T, a directory assistance operator made really good money and also had great benefits. My Mom worked there, and I remember when they...

  5. Can they just bump me up?

    sharonp30 replied to FaithGurl93's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I'm in FL, we have LPNs working in hospitals here. Maybe it's a state by state

  6. Considering just taking boards and be a LPN...does that make me a failure?

    sharonp30 replied to FaithGurl93's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I have just decided to go back to school to become an LPN, and already have been told that I will want to go on to become an RN soon. I really don't know if I will or not. I think that being an LPN is...

  8. New Grad Leaving Hospital for Office Job

    sharonp30 replied to IcySageNurse's topic in Nursing Career

    Are you going to feel better when you are changing out printer cartridges? Seriously office work can be quite demeaning as well. Just something to think

  9. 12 hour shifts...dangerous?

    sharonp30 replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    As someone who is going to be entering this field, I am interested to know if the more experienced nurses feel that if the charge nurse, or nurse supervisor, etc. stepped up, would you be able to take...

  10. Be kind to nurses... we choose the size of your IV

    sharonp30 replied to Joe V's topic in Nurses Rock

    I thought it was funny, it was clearly meant to be a joke. I have an odd sense of humor

  11. The Slow Code: Justified?

    sharonp30 replied to TheCommuter's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Wow, I guess this is something that I didn't even consider when I was thinking of ethical issues that I could face. I really think that first of all, you want to follow the patients wishes, but I can...

  12. In need of practical steps to start studying for CPNE

    sharonp30 replied to nursewithskills's topic in Excelsior College

    While I have not gotten this far yet, I can tell you what I have done in the past when faced with huge amounts of paper that totally overwhelmed me. I would start by breaking everything down into...

  13. What is your current LPN salary

    sharonp30 replied to Vicky Laursen's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Wow!!! RN

  14. Why do some nurse judge?

    sharonp30 replied to relondnah SNKC's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    The thing is, even when a patient is apparently not alert or awake, we just don't know what they actually hear. If you are taking care of someone who can't care for themselves, they have to put all of...

  15. Is it worth it to become a CNA on my road to becoming a nurse?

    sharonp30 replied to sucess2012's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Wow, that's great pay for a CNA, klynn81. In north FL the average seems to be about nine to ten dollars per hour. In fact the average LPN pay in FL in a bit over nineteen dollars per hour. What state...

  16. Recovering opiate addict: In need of advice

    sharonp30 replied to GA_RN2006's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I think most people first try opiates when they have surgery or develop a severe pain issue. I doubt that anyone just goes out and says, I think I'll try me some drugs today. It's very subtle. I don't...

  17. laid off d/t injury, what do I tell prospective employers?

    sharonp30 replied to teensmom's topic in Nursing Career

    I can pipe in here. I have been an office manager for years, and have dealt with Work Comp cases. In my experience, the WC company required us to terminate the employee only if there was a substantial...

  18. where was allnurses.com when...

    sharonp30 replied to Brian's topic in Nurses Rock

    Do you feel that the nurses today are trained as well as they were when you had to hit the books and dig the info out? I'm just interested in everyone's

  19. Be careful with FACEBOOK

    sharonp30 replied to Stephieee's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Ummm, your cop in school friend is either lying to you, or he is hacking the accounts. Some schools have tried to force students to reveal their passwords, it has been ruled illegal. Whatever the...

  20. Very inappropriate!

    sharonp30 replied to Erikadawn RN's topic in General Nursing

    I think that the company that you are interviewing with called your boss for a reference because, although you didn't list her, they obviously know that she is your supervisor. I live in a small town...

  21. What should I expect to be on the Kaplan Nursing entrance exam?

    sharonp30 replied to ashley126's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I was wondering the same thing. The difference being that I only have to pass the English and Math portions of the test. I am applying to the Practical nursing program rather than the RN program. I...

  22. The most outrageous excuses from patients.

    sharonp30 replied to Brian's topic in Nurses Rock

    That is too funny.

  23. Old nurse required to get BSN

    sharonp30 replied to Bellona's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Wow that's a tough situation. There must be some way to verify that you are a nurse, can you check with the HR dept. at your job or previous jobs? Surely they confirmed that you graduated. It won't be...

  24. REALLY would like to go to school to become an LPN. Is it possible at my age? I am 37

    sharonp30 replied to motherofmany's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I am hoping I get accepted in the LPN program at my local community college. I just made the decision about a month ago, I am in the process of getting prepared. I am forty two years old. I have a...

  25. I did a dumb thing today and learned a lesson

    sharonp30 replied to DawnCaprice's topic in General Students

    :uhoh3:I wish that we could all be so honest, but in the end, you will end up paying for that honesty. It would be like telling your boss how ignorant he is, you just don't do it. Being a nurse, you...
