  1. Hands on learner needs help with study habits

    sharon4248 replied to quirkystudent's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I understand. I had the same problem..never had to study before, so I didn't know how! I tried multiple methods, but what worked for me was making flashcards. Not just definition flashcards, but...

    sharon4248 replied to green505's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I say go for it! When I got my acceptance phone call telling me I was in, I hesitated and got scared. I was afraid of failure, to the point where I wanted to put it off for another semester. But...

  11. Annoyed! Where is the love?!

    sharon4248 replied to angieedoll's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Its funny, cause the only place I hear the negative stuff about the LPN's is on this forum! I work at a hospital, and they still hire LPN's. I look at it this way...if LPN's were being "phased out",...

  12. Start in August and scared to death

    sharon4248 replied to granolatrees's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I start Monday, and I am scared too! Terrified actually. I am also taking out student loans to help with the bills while I am in school, that allows me to cut my hours at work. Is that an option...

  15. is there a weekend only cna job???

    sharon4248 replied to Dcmom's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I asked that question at a LTC facility one time, and they acted like they were thrilled that someone would want to only work weekends. Apparently they rotate the weekends, and if someone wants to,...

  16. PCT or MA? I'm new to the Allied Health Field, help!

    sharon4248 replied to RosietheRiveter's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I know at my hospital all of these jobs are different. We have EKG techs, phlebotomists, and PCT's. I guess you would need to decide which one you want because they don't overlap. At least not at...

  17. I want to be an lpn..

    sharon4248 replied to Lb321's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I think it depends on your situation and what is best for you. For example, I currently work as a pct at a hospital here. In order to do my RN, it would take three more years for me of school,...

  18. Texas BON for bipolar disorder

    sharon4248 replied to bella_'s topic in Nurse Disabilities

    I guess I don't really know why they HAVE to know that, its personal. On the other hand, are you afraid you might be unsafe for the patients? If not, I don't see why they need to know. I could be...

  19. Should I quit nursing school?

    sharon4248 replied to JessC0927's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    You're so close to finishing! But on the other hand, if you truly know that this is not what you want to do, then I wouldn't waste any more $$ on it. If you still want to work in the healthcare...

  20. LPN Student Question

    sharon4248 replied to Masiel's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I think it depends on where you are. I work at a hospital right now as a PCT in Middle Ga, there were just a bunch of LPN positions opened up all over the hospital. I asked my nurse manager about...

  21. Just accepted into LPN school! Advise :)

    sharon4248 replied to kimk80's topic in LPN, LVN Students

  22. Question for PCTs who started out as CNA in LTC facility?

    sharon4248 replied to TrinaCNA's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    I got a job at the hospital straight out of school, but I was fortunate to go to a school where we did clinicals at LTC and the hospital. My employer told me that phlebotomy is helpful, but not a...

  23. PRN tech help!!!!

    sharon4248 replied to AM326's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    I have many friends that work PRN, and they rarely have a problem getting their hours. This is because at our hospital, if you are PRN, you can pick up shifts on any floor. Is it like that where you...

  24. Those who work at a hospital- med surge floor specifically

    sharon4248 replied to havehope's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I work in Peds at our hospital, but frequently pick up shifts on other floors. Normally you have around 10-12 patients. The major differences that I have found between LTC and the hospital is that...
