  1. Baffled.

    SilenceintheLibrary posted a topic in General Nursing

    So fair warning, this is probably going to be completely unproductive and may provoke the RN vs LPN debate. I'm really not trying to start anything, I'm just honestly at a loss about this situation....

  3. Baffled.

    SilenceintheLibrary replied to SilenceintheLibrary's topic in General Nursing

    You're right, it's not really an lpn vs rn thing, but I figured some sensitive Sally would try to make it out to be one so I wanted to nip it in the bud at the beginning. Usually when I give a...

  7. Excelsior on the GI Bill

    SilenceintheLibrary posted a topic in Excelsior College

    Can anyone tell me if the GI Bill covers everything for Excelsior? Like all the tests and the enrollment fee? I've managed to save up enough for the application fee, but the enrollment fee is too much...

    SilenceintheLibrary replied to mz23's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I went through LPN school with a 2 year old, so I feel your pain. As a few others have said, I coslept with my son and often studied while he sat next to me watching cartoons. I also took him to the...

  10. You want us to do what?!?

    SilenceintheLibrary posted a topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    So I work as an LPN in an outpatient clinic. I am fairly new, only been there a few weeks. At a staff meeting, our manager announced that for Christmas the entire staff was invited to go to a party at...

  11. You want us to do what?!?

    SilenceintheLibrary replied to SilenceintheLibrary's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Yeah, the $11.66 sucks. I was pretty shocked by it when I moved down here to Oklahoma from Pennsylvania, but it seems to be the going rate around here. I'm stuck here for now as my husband is...

  14. How much do you make? Feeling under paid :(

    SilenceintheLibrary replied to Disneygirl23's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Sadly, yes, I am serious. I've joked to my husband that I might switch to flipping burgers if they ever do end up with that $15/hr. What really gets me is that I just moved here from PA, where I...

    SilenceintheLibrary replied to Disneygirl23's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I really need to move. I live in Oklahoma and I am making $11.66 as a new LPN. Not nearly enough to get by on so I am looking for a second job.

  16. I regret forever not going to medical school

    SilenceintheLibrary replied to nurse2dr's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Age doesn't matter when it comes to doing what you want in life, your determination and motivation is what matters. We had a woman in our LPN class who was 58, just starting her nursing career. And I...

  18. Applying for a job at McDonalds...first test scores were given today

    SilenceintheLibrary replied to loveoverpride's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    That's one thing about nursing school, sometimes there is more than one right answer. You can know what you're supposed to do, and still get the answer wrong because there was a more right answer or a...

  22. Does your SO understand job stress?

    SilenceintheLibrary replied to Tobygo2's topic in General Nursing

    Not only does my SO not understand how hard nurses work, he has the most ASININE opinions about nursing. For instance, he believes there should be no hospice. He doesn't believe in "wasting" all that...
