  1. Thinking of Transitioning to Psych

    I started in psych. I left and went to med-surg. And now I'm back in psych!
  2. Dating a former patient

    In my case, a BF is the cause of it.
  3. Early Morning Nurses (and Nursing Students)

    Wow ok I may seem boring, but I am a morning person! It is still hard to get up early. But I usually pack my lunch the night before and have all of my things ready as well. When my alarm goes off at 0430, with my eyes half open, I just get up and stu...
  4. Lpn vs Rn

    I'm an LPN/LVN and I do work in a hospital, that does hire LPN's.
  5. I am a new LVN. I have a question about a word

    Just curious... Did you ever find out what that word was?
  6. Help please!!! Need help to pass NCLEX-PN

    I would certainly get the most recent edition of NCLEX review material. Saunders is good. I also used the NCSBN Learning Extension for review. NCSBN Learning Extension . NCLEX preparation . Continuing Education for Nurses . Nursing Faculty Education
  7. Put in your info and voila! Board of Vocational Nursing and Psychiatric Technicians
  8. What do you eat before work?

    I usually have eggs and wheat toast for breakfast, but some days, I'm just not feeling breakfast. When that happens, I have a protein shake. I always have coffee and I always bring quick healthy snacks and try to eat every 3-4 hours.
  9. 2 weeks notice!!

    Yaaaay!! Congratulations!!! :D
  10. HESI EXIT for LPNs

    Grats on passing HESI! When I took the NCLEX, I studied Saunders, NCSBN Review, and a little ATI.
  11. what did I do wrong?

    Call back. Never too late. Just tell her that you're returning her call. Let her know you returned her call earlier, but she was busy, and ask if she received your message.
  12. TEAS V Strategy

    Grats for passing!! :)
  13. Need Help! (on deciding)

    If EA is your first choice, then wait the 30 days to retake it. If I'm reading it right, the only difference between the 2 schools sounds like it's 4K. To me, 1.5 hours one way is a long trip, but if you're motivated enough to do it consistently thro...
  14. Prereq's help!

    Science pre-reqs online exist, but are hard to come by. When you do find them, they are very expensive, mostly because of the lab components. Personally, I would recommend physically taking those classes in the classroom. But I also understand someti...
  15. Anyone fail NCLEX-PN with minimum # questions?

    GRATS!
  16. For me, it was worth it. Once I got my license, I began taking my pre-reqs, at the same time I was working and gaining valuable experience. I am starting an Advanced Standing RN program this summer and haven't missed a beat (graduate Spring 2014). Af...
  17. How many LPN graduates work in a hospital?

    I'm not in Canada , was hired as an LPN, and work in a Hospital. I will be starting an RN program this summer, but was not hired with that expectation.
  18. I took NCLEX this morning. Here is my experience.

    You passed! Congratulations!!
  19. Scrubs website with free shipping?

    Free shipping over 29.99 Buy Scrubs, Medical Uniforms, Nursing Uniforms at Discount Price
  20. Straight A's in Science prereqs?

    I was lucky enough to make straight A's. I wanted to stay ahead of the game, so I studied alot, pretty much daily, to make sure that I had a solid understanding of the material, so there were no surprises on test day. You definitely don't want to fal...
  21. LVN Certificate vs. LVN Licence?

    If they are on this list, then you will be able to sit for the NCLEX. And yes, if you plan on pursuing your BSN, you will need the pre-reqs that TheCommuter mentioned. BVNPT - California Approved Schools
  22. TOo old?

    40 is not too old! Go for it!
  23. Just let me be...

    Well personally, I could care less what anyone thinks. That doesn't mean I'm not a caring person, only that I am focused on myself, and not everyone else. Since it's my life to live, I play by my own rules and tend not to get caught up in the who-thi...
  24. Quick Rant.... (sorry in advance)

    Couldn't have been better said. Thank you!
  25. Wearing scrubs at the gym??

    "I'd blow you off if you confronted me, too... how politely would depend on our relative physiques."
