  1. ATI PROCTORED EXAM RETAKE

    FashionablyL8 replied to brooklyn4171's topic in General Students

    Not sure if you'll check back since it's been a few days, but my class had to do the ATI retake no matter what we scored. It had similar questions as far as general subject (fundies is a very broad...

  2. Waiting times for ATT in MA

    FashionablyL8 posted a topic in General Students

    Hi everyone, Congrats to recent grads! I'm anxiously waiting for my ATT. It's been 3 weeks this Friday since I applied and a classmate that applied nearly a week after me just received hers. The...

  3. If you have gotten your COVID Vaccine...

    FashionablyL8 replied to Cattz's topic in School

    I actually got more SE from my 1st dose than my 2nd (got the Pfizer), which surprised me. The first time was very manageable anyway- fatigue, sore arm, a little GI upset. But a day or so after...

  4. Looking for thoughts/opinions of experienced nurses

    FashionablyL8 replied to FashionablyL8's topic in General Nursing

    C.Love, thank you for your good luck wishes ?. Although I love many things about my job, I would really benefit from having more experienced nurses to work alongside. I also don't want to...

  5. Looking for thoughts/opinions of experienced nurses

    FashionablyL8 replied to FashionablyL8's topic in General Nursing

    Hi PREOP PACU, Thank you for your encouragement and advice ?. That's exactly what I thought, something must have been going on; people don't just not wake up for no reason, even if the BP monitor...

  6. Little Miss Know-it-all

    FashionablyL8 replied to WisconsinCheddr's topic in General Students

    Exactly! That quote would have been helpful for me in school and I think it's a great thing to keep in mind. I know I felt that need sometimes to let others know that I knew this or had experience...

  7. Looking for thoughts/opinions of experienced nurses

    FashionablyL8 replied to FashionablyL8's topic in General Nursing

    That's interesting about your pt at Wrongway, Davey (btw I love the names you come up with ?). It's good to have information about these rare syndromes because if nobody recognizes them, they don't...

  8. Looking for thoughts/opinions of experienced nurses

    FashionablyL8 replied to FashionablyL8's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you so much, Davey, I really appreciate that! In this world of fragile egos, it can be difficult to find people willing to tell it like it is, so I really value the honest advice I get here. It...

  9. Little Miss Know-it-all

    FashionablyL8 replied to WisconsinCheddr's topic in General Students

    I graduated recently and can definitely relate! I know it's unkind of me but I often found myself rolling my eyes (usually internally- I hope) at some other students. There was the posterior-kisser,...

  10. Looking for thoughts/opinions of experienced nurses

    FashionablyL8 replied to FashionablyL8's topic in General Nursing

    I agree, Davey. I think that one of the issues with not having a nurse in the facility all the time to make these judgement calls is that residents get sent to the ER when they shouldn't be and NOT...

  11. Looking for thoughts/opinions of experienced nurses

    FashionablyL8 replied to FashionablyL8's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you all for your responses! I agree the situation was rather bizarre- I actually thought as I was writing it that it seemed like a troll post. To answer a few questions, the resident is a...

  12. If you have gotten your COVID Vaccine...

    FashionablyL8 replied to Cattz's topic in School

    FixerofUhohs, congrats on your grandbaby! Grandkids are the best ?. I got my vaccination on Thursday. It didn't hurt when I got it, but later that day and the next it was pretty sore. I took...

  13. Getting off the "do not hire" list?

    FashionablyL8 replied to cmf2021's topic in General Nursing

    Cmf, it actually turned out to be a blessing that I didn't get that job. I ended up getting hired at another place working with individuals with intellectual disabilities and it turned out to be my...

  14. Getting off the "do not hire" list?

    FashionablyL8 replied to cmf2021's topic in General Nursing

    I was actually put on "The List" years ago by a home care company (not as a nurse, as a PCA). I was fired for the henious crime of being late with my time slips. My clients loved me, I was very...

  15. Psb judgement and comprehension questions for the LPN test

    FashionablyL8 replied to Doyel's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I've noticed a lot of nursing questions in general have an answer the looks good but throws in something that you need an order for, like restraints. I agree B looked better but then we are...

  16. LVN/LPN

    FashionablyL8 replied to Michele1more's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Hey it's several days since you posted but hopefully you'll read this. I think the way you're feeling is very typical of new students. I've been in healthcare for many years and I felt the same way...

  17. Mean girls in Pre-Req / Nursing School, how do you deal with them?

    FashionablyL8 replied to TheNursingdoll's topic in General Students

    Nursingdoll, thank you for your kind comment ?. Sounds like you've been through a lot as well. Bottom line is we can turn it around and succeed! When we are the experienced nurses, we can make sure to...

  18. Help! I failed nursing school.. What should I do?

    FashionablyL8 replied to Rheab35's topic in General Students

    Plenty of people fail one program and succeed in another. I had a classmate who failed out of our LPN program twice, once in the first term, then in the second term the following year. She entered...

  19. Mean girls in Pre-Req / Nursing School, how do you deal with them?

    FashionablyL8 replied to TheNursingdoll's topic in General Students

    Hey Nursingdoll, I feel what you're going through and have some advice- plus a long story ?. A very long time ago in actual school, not nursing school, I became the focus of bullies. I was...

  20. Should I quit my program?

    FashionablyL8 replied to cj_94's topic in General Nursing

    OK, so I'm replying as a fellow student. I've been working as a MAP certified direct care staff and in home care for quite some time so I've seen a few things but I'm not a nurse- graduating in...

  21. Will you take the Pfizer Covid Vaccine?

    FashionablyL8 replied to guest83140's topic in School

    Yes, I'll get the vaccine. I'm not so worried about getting COVID for myself- I know there are people who are not high risk who do very badly, but I have a great immune system and am healthy. I'm...

  22. I don't know if I should call out or not r/t snow storm

    FashionablyL8 replied to SoNan's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with the other posters- calling out in a snowstorm is just unfair to your coworkers and doesn't look good to management either. Especially if it's not snowing when you leave for work! I'm not...

  23. What TEAS score got you accepted?

    FashionablyL8 replied to misharuu's topic in General Students

    Misharuu, good luck! Let us know when you hear. I remember how stressful that was. I went back and forth between thinking that of course I got accepted, I'm a great candidate, to being sure that I...

  24. start an LPN program or wait a year to continue my ADN degree?

    FashionablyL8 replied to che527's topic in General Students

    I'm sorry that you're not graduating this year. That must be quite a disappointment to say the least. But it's great that you're looking forward. I'm almost done with my LPN and have found it to...

  25. What TEAS score got you accepted?

    FashionablyL8 replied to misharuu's topic in General Students

    I think you'll be fine with that score!! If it's the ATI TEAS, I think that 78-90 is "proficient" and I read that competitive schools are looking for scores from 80-85. I'm not an expert- I am almost...
