   shotcaller28 replied to taylynnfree's topic in LPN/LVN

   Just relocated from Northern Kentucky where I worked in an LTACH. Started 17.50, left at 18.36 after ~15 months. We are in South East Missouri now and I just started at an LTC facility for 15.30. Took 3 months to find this job.

3. 75 questions on NCLEX.. Good or Bad?

   shotcaller28 replied to sungrl01's topic in NCLEX

   There really isn't a way to tell. The NCLEX gauges how each individual person is doing. If he answered enough questions right to be minimally competent and a nurse at 75 questions it will shut off. If he gets to 75 questions and there is no way he wi...

4. WA state nursing student moving to Montana after graduation

   shotcaller28 replied to ruralnurse84's topic in Montana

   It would make more sense to apply for an MT license since that is where you are planning on working. You can write to any board and apply for licensure when you take the NCLEX it doesn't matter if you currently live there or not.

5. Lawsuit Claims Nurse Was 'Worked to Death'

   shotcaller28 replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

   I've never been an accident r/t exhaustion but I have been pulled over after working 10 days straight and the last 2 being doubles. I had to do a field sobriety test, breathalyzer, the whole 9 yards. It was scary. I was totally of my mind. I called ...

6. Former foster kids who are becoming nurses...

   shotcaller28 replied to Fawnz's topic in UK

   If you keep your mind closed to everyone that is not a foster kid then you won't get much advice. The world is bigger than that. I didn't imply believing it will happen will make it happen. I said you have to believe that you are worth it and it wil...

7. Former foster kids who are becoming nurses...

   shotcaller28 replied to Fawnz's topic in UK

   And for time management.... I brought my books everywhere. Every break I had I was in them. You have to be dedicated to yourself in order to succeed in nursing school. I allocated at least two hours a day to study. Anything more than that drove me cr...

8. Former foster kids who are becoming nurses...

   shotcaller28 replied to Fawnz's topic in UK

   I worked full time in nursing school. I had to. My alcoholic abusive father literally drank himself to death while my mom was out somewhere doing something. To this day I'm still not sure what she does. I was also the primary caregiver to my demented...

9. Ati comprehensive predictor test

   shotcaller28 replied to YesImVictorious's topic in LPN/LVN Students

   In some ways I found ATI harder than the NCLEX-PN. Probably because if we didn't pass the final review at a level 3 we didn't graduate. my prediction was 97% I passed the first time. I'm almost certain that everyone in my class that had a high pre...

    What is method #3?

12. MA student/CNA position

    shotcaller28 replied to lmsmom2's topic in CNA/MA

    There are vast differences between an LPN/ LVN and a CMA. I realize I am feeding into it by replying to that statement but I do not want the OP to make a decision either way because they think the two professions are one in the same. There is nothing...

13. NY license for a job in NJ or CT?

    shotcaller28 replied to RegenerativeNurse's topic in LPN/LVN

    The only way that would be true is if you have a compact license the reciprocates to those states.
