    Any specialty type LVN's ?? what's yours?

    OrganizedChaos replied to Natasha A.'s topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I was just about to comment & say correctional nursing. I loved every minute of working in corrections vs. LTC, PDN or drug

    Why do some people look down on LPNs?

    OrganizedChaos replied to eatlovepray04's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I tell people I'm a nurse & they say oh an RN? Sometimes I'll tell them LVN, other times I'll just say nothing. I don't know why it

    I don't think Nursing is for me

    OrganizedChaos replied to jperalta1331's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I felt the same way you did. I worked in LTC & PDN & hated it. I worked in corrections & it finally clicked! The great thing about being a nurse is we have so many options. Go online or...

    Rejected..No Facebook?!!

    OrganizedChaos replied to cosmos2007's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I don't see a point to make a Facebook page just to please your employer. Either have one for YOU or don't. Don't make one just for your employer so they can snoop. The excuse of seeing if you are...

    Career Advice - Thanks for any help!

    OrganizedChaos replied to twoboysandadog's topic in Nursing Career

    Do you really want to be a nurse? Because from what it sounds like you don't want to. With how competitive the nursing field is, you won't be able to just have your pick of jobs. As for a school...

    lpn to rn online programs

    OrganizedChaos replied to eatlovepray04's topic in LPN to RN

    With Excelsior there is the CPNE at the end. You have to go to a clinical site & it's 2/3 days of clinical testing at the end. I highly recommend going to the ISU & Excelsior threads &...

    I don't see LVN-RN bridge listed on the Kaplan website but ISU & Excelsior both have their own threads. If you are interested go read up on both of those

    Is this the right career choice?

    OrganizedChaos replied to hclothier's topic in Nursing Career

    I know everyone speaks so highly of that school but with how many doubts you have if I were you I would become an LVN first then if you really enjoyed it bridge & become an RN. Depending on where...

    Rejected..No Facebook?!!

    OrganizedChaos replied to cosmos2007's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Yeah, there is no way I would make a Facebook profile (if I didn't have a Facebook) or add my boss as a friend just so they could stalk me while I'm not at work. That's not a job I want nor a boss I...

    Is this the right career choice?

    OrganizedChaos replied to hclothier's topic in Nursing Career

    I was much like you, I was unsure if I wanted to be a nurse & I became an LVN first. I'm glad I did because I saved money & gave me an opportunity to see if I liked being a nurse. I do &...

    OrganizedChaos replied to cosmos2007's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    That's bizarre. I've never had anyone comment about Facebook. Let alone make a comment about GETTING a Facebook to track you. I'd say you dodged a bullet. Even though you want a job any boss who wants...

    Is this the right career choice?

    OrganizedChaos replied to hclothier's topic in Nursing Career

    $90,000??? Yikes! If this is a private school, don't do it. It's not worth it. Especially if you're confused about your career already! Find a cheaper path whether it be another university or...

    In LPN Program - Denied Acceptance into ADN Program

    OrganizedChaos replied to kimmyanne02's topic in General Students

    I can imagine you are disappointed but your GPA was too low to be admitted into the program. No amount of begging or whining will get you into the program. They have their standards for a reason. What...

    Dating a former patient

    OrganizedChaos replied to thepsychtech's topic in Psychiatric

    I remember a post similar to this where a medical professional wanted to date someone they took care of in an inpatient psych facility. The general consensus was no, just like now. I don't think...

    I have a class t shirt from when I was in nursing school with a stethoscope around the neck of the shirt. The jacket looks better because on my shirt it falls in a very inappropriate place & the...

    OrganizedChaos replied to simplysw33t's topic in General Students

    Should I take these courses in the same semester?

    OrganizedChaos replied to Purple_roses's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It's doable but tough. I wouldn't do it again. When I took A&P I & micro together I thought I was in hell. My micro prof was super tough & I made it out with a

    Knitting during class: ok or not?

    OrganizedChaos replied to BusyBee91's topic in General Students

    My best friend knits & crotchets too but I know she never did it in class. I think there is a time & place for everything. Class is not the time nor the place to knit, text or be on the...

    OrganizedChaos replied to ardubose9's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you do not personally know a nurse I'm sure there are hospitals, clinics, doctors offices or LTC centers in your area you can call or stop by to interview a nurse. Even though this website is...
