Border E/I-NFJ but INFJ fits better for me. Sent from my iPhone using allnurses. Angi/LPN (?RN)

I graduated from my LPN program in 1994 and just starting the ASN program (had orientation yesterday). 20 years almost exactly. ? Sent from my iPhone using allnurses. Angi/LPN (?RN)

Apparently a lot of people believe this. I know a man who accused his wife of cheating after having their second child because the baby was a girl and their first was a boy. He only had one testicle so he said he couldn't produce both boys and girls....

I was pregnant with my second child and while giving an insulin injection to a resident she got up before I finished and somehow I was stuck ?. This woman was able to sign herself out and would walk to the local stores dumpster's and dive for sweets....

She's running now but it won't be long until we are dragging her to nursing school! Sent from my iPhone using allnurses. Angi/LPN (?RN)

We told the students on the first day, just like we always do, that as a nurse you need to be prepared to work weekends and holidays and if you weren't willing you might as well leave now. She almost tripped over her own feet to get out! Sent from m...

True! I work LTC and I have take care of a few residents that get very angry and insist that we call the doctor and tell him that the resident needs a shot of rocephin for his runny nose. I have tried and tried to argue the fact that a cold doesn't r...

I absolutely agree because this is what a lot of local factory workers make. Unfortunately, it is also what nurses are paid in my area. Sad but true. I hope when I complete RN school that I can relocate. The pay is so ridiculous and there's not a lot...

I work LTC and have been an LPN 20 years. This is in KY. Base pay is $12/hr for new grads. I make only $16.35/hr. I got $0.50 for every 5 years experience which is $2. There's a $0.50/hr shift diff for 2nd shift and $1/hr night shift. We haven't had ...

I'm not deciding over 1 person. I said that after hearing from others, not only on here, that I was thinking about putting it off and that the question I really had was is it all worth it? Is the pain better after the recovery period? I have talked t...

Oh my! I was thinking about having this done myself because my bunions are horrible, especially on my right foot. After hearing about the pain after surgery and how long recovery is, (not only here but from others I've known that had it done), then I...

I was just recently reading about this issue and came across this news article. http://www.wkrn.com/story/22872890/local-boy-invents-device-to-stop-children-being-left-in-hot-cars Sent from my iPhone using allnurses. Angi/LPN (?RN)

Your situation sounds identical to mine. I have managed to make it through prereqs with a 3.3 gpa, work full time, and I start in the nursing program this fall. My husband is however doing better. That being said, he still has relapses occasionally a...

I chose nursing because my mother was a nurse and I needed something that could get me in the working world quickly as I had a small child. I fell in love with it so I guess it was fate. I was very satisfied as an LPN for 20 years but recently I bega...

I get a lot of vibes just as you OP, only they come from my dad. When I got accepted into nursing school I of course called everyone to tell them. My mom, sisters, husband, children, and friends all said congratulations and they knew I could do it! M...

In the area that I live there's criminal background checks on every job, even at a grocery store or the local dollar store. Those background checks show every charge and often if a misdemeanor shows up it's still enough to put a halt on the hiring pr...

I absolutely love my MacBook Pro! I love all of my apple gadgets! I'm an apple nut!!! Lol! User friendly plus, if it's absolutely required, you can easily change pages documents to word documents. I use an app called audionote on my macbook to record...

In my class the instructor gave us lots of links to resources so I had little time to look any others up. This class probably took more time than any others I had taken. Very hard teacher! Many dropped the class after a couple weeks, most people get ...

I work as an LPN on the floor in LTC and do part time Tx/wound care nurse also. I love doing wound care because it's less stressful than being in charge of 30 residents. When I do wound care I have 60 residents and almost all of them have a cream, oi...

I guess I'm weird as well because I love sociology too! Sent from my iPhone using allnurses. Angi/LPN (?RN)

Prereqs usually almost give you an associate in art or an associate in science degree. Some have that before entering a nursing program (I do. I have an AS). After prereqs it's up to you whether you want an ASN=2 more years or BSN=4 more years. Howev...

I have always had a terrible time with my hands, especially during the winter months. I love b&b works so while in a store one day about a year ago a lady working looked at my hands and asked if I was a nurse. When I told her I was she showed me ...

In LPN school I got to observe several things in the OR and done fine until one day I overslept, rushed to clinical site (still made it on time), but didn't eat breakfast. This morning I was to watch a tubal ligation. I stood observing the motion of ...

When I was in LPN school I drove a little over an hour one way to go to class 5 days a week. I'm now going back to the same school (community college) for my ASN and expect to also drive to the same town for my BSN. A larger university has opened a s...
