I feel a sense of dread about work lately. I know that it is always about the same. I have tried moving to a different facility, but that only helps for a little while. I'm so frustrated, I have a...
The people are fun! I am continually surprised by the things they say. I have been on all shifts now, and day shift is what works best for me. I would like to work in the hospital, but it seems such a...
I am working on an essay for an LPN program application. I know I am taking a risk by posting it here, it might really suck, you guys might say: "How is this relevant to why you want to be a nurse?"...

Thank you for your input. I totally understand #1. I will look at the creativity angle. #3 Seems difficult. I will give it some espresso-charged thought. I am not sure I understand how to do the...
Thank you so much! I did think that maybe the horror story about my grandfather might be a bit much. I did want to emphasize caring for unpleasant people though. I will re-read the essay, and try to...
I certainly wish you the best and hope that you pass. We all make mistakes in such a nerve-wrecking situation. My personal example: It had been more than a year between the CNA class and the time I...
I began my journey to nursing school in September 2009. I have been taking pre-reqs and worrying about grades, money, housing and lots of other things since then. I have a couple of different nursing...
Thanks hodgieRN. I take full responsibility for my performance on the HESI. I studied very hard for the math portion, because it is my worst subject. I did not study at all for the Biology portion,...
