    WILTW 1/1/17 New Onset Workflow

    OrganizedChaos replied to LadyFree28's topic in General Nursing

    I feel like I'm posting so much. I had a major gallbladder attack last night (I had been sick since Saturday). After suffering all night I called my OBGYN, saw him & he admitted me. We will see...

    WILTW 1/1/17 New Onset Workflow

    OrganizedChaos replied to LadyFree28's topic in General Nursing

    I got the results of my renal ultrasound. Nothing remarkable. Last pregnancy I had hydronephrosis. Now there is nothing wrong with my kidneys *or* bladder. I have known this whole time it was my...

    What is the difference between the NCLEX-PN and NCLEX-RN?

    OrganizedChaos replied to angel1312's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    RN to BSN is for someone who graduated from an associate's degree/diploma program & wants to get a BSN. You do not need to take the NCLEX-RN again after going through an RN to BSN program. But if...

    Sick of floor nursing, what now?

    OrganizedChaos replied to r0seRN's topic in Nursing Career

    Have you looked into corrections? I have never worked in a hospital but it was easily the funniest & more relaxed jobs I had. But you have to be the right person for it since you are working with...

    Oops I sat on the patient

    Ah, I see it now. I saw that & was like errrrr. With so many nurses/pre-nurses calling it HIPPA I was thrown off but not real

    When I found out I was pregnant I was happy to know that my last trimester would be in the winter. But what is this?!? It's 80 degrees & it's January!!! To say I sweat a lot today is an...

    Challenge exam for CNA/LPN/LVN

    OrganizedChaos replied to Lakambini's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Get a job doing something so you can save the money to retake the NCLEX. But if you are going to retake the NCLEX, take the RN-NCLEX. It doesn't make any financial sense to take the LVN-NCLEX when you...

    Recommended experience for first time travel assignment.

    OrganizedChaos replied to Samc144's topic in Travel

    I'm not an RN so I can't take assignments out of state, so take this as you will. When I was in nursing school I wanted to do travel nursing *so* bad. But then I started working as a nurse & it...

    New nursing student going into MedSurg. Any advice?

    OrganizedChaos replied to Nursingblue's topic in General Students

    It is against the TOS to put any title in your name you haven't earned. I see you are currently enrolled in an ADN program, but you have not graduated to receive the title yet. In nursing school not...

    Get my adn or lpn? Newbie here

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

    My goodness that's a lot of money for LVN or RN. Why don't you look at community colleges in your area? It will be so much cheaper. If you had your LVN & RN license you could probably get a job as...

    Nursing programme at colleges

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

    If you have already started a nursing program your nursing credits most likely will not transfer. But if it is your pre-reqs you want to transfer, you should be good. Just check the nursing program...

    Lpn to BSN or RN to BSN

    OrganizedChaos replied to Sdoll's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Why go through the hassle of applying & getting accepted into an RN program if you don't plan on finishing it? Why not save money & just go into an LVN program? It doesn't make sense to me....

    Yes, congrats again! You deserve it!! Glad I have made it through the holidays, which means I'm *that* much closer to the end of my pregnancy. It turns out my husband doesn't just have a pinched...

    OrganizedChaos replied to renardeau's topic in Health, Stress Management

    I like to be taken care of my by husband. Maybe it's because I'm a nurse & take care or other people combined with me always taking care of him & our son. But since I've been sick &...
