  5. Why did I think this was going to be easier?

    LiteCandles posted a topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I am so overwhelmed. I feel like I am a week behind on my school work (I'm not, just feeling like I have so much to do and not enough time). I am in an accelerated program, 12 month program. I have...

  6. Why did I think this was going to be easier?

    LiteCandles replied to LiteCandles's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I know it just feels like I'm over my head. I have no intention on quitting. Just with level 1 coming to an end there are so many tests/exams and clinical competency coming up... Just

  7. Extremely Overweight Nurses

  9. Is it really a violation of H.I.P.P.A. law to share your concerns with the doctor?

    LiteCandles replied to Alnitak7's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    I don't see how discussing the patient with his doctor is a HIPAA violation... I think your supervisor is mad you called the doctor and not listen to him and deal with

    LiteCandles replied to joannalpn's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

  12. Confused..

    LiteCandles replied to SueBlue's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Sounds like you're not officially in the nursing program (I could be wrong). So when you're done with your prereqs you'll have to apply to the program or you'll be on a wait list, depending on how...

  14. Fired!

    LiteCandles replied to LandD_RN_chica's topic in General Nursing

    Where I live it is not legal to ask an employer when they do a verification if they were let go or quit. They can ask if the person can be re-hired. They also cannot tell anyone why they were fired....

  15. Lateral Violence

    LiteCandles replied to Sensibility's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I dealt with this for a year at my last job (not a nursing job) with multiple people. Anywhere from sexual harassment to people spreading rumors and calling me names to other people. When I reported...

  16. What is the process for getting into your school's LVN program?

    LiteCandles replied to smartypants22's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    My program wasn't too hard. 1) fill out application, get your high school and any college transcripts and have to have a 2.0 or higher 2) pay 40$ to take the HESI test and score a 75% on the math,...

    LiteCandles replied to LP2R_NjouRNney's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Scholarships and grants!! 2000 is a lot better then what I have to pay (33,000) so if you have to take out a loan it won't be the end of the

  18. Nursing school is no joke!

    LiteCandles replied to Lpn__'s topic in LPN, LVN Students

    It is pretty overwhelming. I actually had this talk with a few classmates and an instructor today that we are on week 8/9 and we have 3 papers due in the next 5 - 6 weeks, we have 2 tests in the next...

  19. First day of class!!

    LiteCandles replied to Lpn__'s topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Yup very fast paced. Our classes range. Some classes being a few weeks (2-5 weeks) and some being 15 weeks (fundamentals) super crazy and a lot to take in at one time. Good luck

  20. Get LPN through Tech School vs Community College?

    LiteCandles replied to GoFar's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I am going to a tech school and still plan on getting my RN eventually, the reason I am going is because they have the best NCLEX pass rate compared to any other school in my area. I think this is...

  23. Whats wrong with working in a nursing home?

    LiteCandles replied to jasminewilliams's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I like nursing homes (well I've only worked at one... So I should say I liked the only one I worked at a lot) as a CNA. I don't see me having any issues being happy there as a LPN. I think it really...

  24. If you have been accepted into a LPN program...

    LiteCandles replied to HeatherMax's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I didn't take the TEAS V, I took the HESI, so I don't know if it will help, but mine over all was like 60% and I got in. However they only looked at 4 or 5 sections and of those I scored 88% and...

    LiteCandles replied to chrisrn24's topic in General Nursing
