    What do I do now that I've graduate LVN school?

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

    I let my license lapse & it just got renewed. Do not *ever* let your license lapse! I will never make that mistake

    HELP!!!

    The only person who can give you the answer is the school

    Part-time nurse in the beginning?

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

    I would definitely work full time after graduating. You have so much to learn & get acclimated to that part time or PRN just won't give you the experience. Not to mention some employers might not...

    Nursing in crisis

    OrganizedChaos replied to historylady's topic in General Nursing

    When I graduated as an LVN I was offered jobs in the hospital, LTC & PDN. I'm sure it's not the same any more especially as more & more hospitals want to get rid of LVNs. Also the pay was much...

    Two weeks notice

    OrganizedChaos replied to superarn86's topic in General Nursing

    Glad you're going to go. I know it's hard having a child & wanting to celebrate the holidays all together but it just isn't going to happen. Since your baby is still young you can always celebrate...

    Nursing in 2017?

    OrganizedChaos replied to ImSoConfused.'s topic in General Nursing

    If you're not even in a nursing program yet, how do you know you will enjoy psych, ICU or the ER? You have no nursing experience in those areas. It's great to have an idea of where you would like to...

    "Fixin' to die"

    OrganizedChaos replied to ktwlpn's topic in Nursing News

    What does your ethnicity have to do with anything? You can be white, black, brown, pink, green or yellow & be prejudiced. There is literally *no* correlation between the two. You are digging your...

    "Fixin' to die"

    OrganizedChaos replied to ktwlpn's topic in Nursing News

    This is not one battle I would've picked. It's not that big of a deal in the grand scheme of things. The nurse saved that child's life & you're upset over 1 phrase she used?

    "Fixin' to die"

    OrganizedChaos replied to ktwlpn's topic in Nursing News

    If you're going to tear people apart, at least have proper grammar, punctuation & syntax. I believe it looks tacky & unintelligent to be posting about how one nurse spoke to a news outlet but...

    Pediatric Treatment Centers

    OrganizedChaos replied to Pink Magnolia's topic in Psychiatric

    Basically what I did was medicate the children, do admits/discharges, complete new orders or changes, & for emergencies. I didn't lead groups because they had LCDCs & therapists there. They...

    Did You Work While Pregnant?

    OrganizedChaos posted a topic in Health, Stress Management

    Did you work when you were pregnant? If you don't/didn't did your significant other make you feel bad about it? I'm pregnant with our second son & can't work. I have epilepsy, bipolar &...

    To tell or not to tell?

    OrganizedChaos replied to freckles23's topic in General Nursing

    Good point. Just wondering if at any point it was feasible to give it to her. I have also learned that, sometimes, no matter what you tell families they just want their loved one to come first...

    To tell or not to tell?

    OrganizedChaos replied to freckles23's topic in General Nursing

    Was anything done about the confusion? I know you can only redirect so many times but wouldn't it have been best for her & everyone if she was put on some meds to calm her down? Obviously if it...

    I have to have heart surgery...now what???

    OrganizedChaos replied to itsalexk's topic in General Nursing

    But how long will she be out for? It's not a simple surgery & recovery will take awhile. Most places are short staffed to begin with. Then you add on people taking vacations or not going to work...

    New Grad..Kind of

    OrganizedChaos replied to lodeemill's topic in General Nursing

    I would definitely apply to any & every job that you think you qualify for, even out of the hospital. Not just that but you probably don't qualify for a new grad residency program since you...

    Either find a way to get the money or find a different career. I know someone who got in trouble with the board & the actions that were taken against her LVN license also were taken against her RN...

    New Grad travel nurses

    OrganizedChaos replied to Soldon's topic in General Nursing

    That sounds like a terrible idea on so many levels. Why do so many new grads want to travel? Get your experience & then travel. You will be happy you

    Question from a friend about completing program

    OrganizedChaos replied to WeatherB's topic in General Nursing

    If he only has 2 semesters left, why doesn't he reapply/try to get into his old program & then take out a loan? But honestly what he is saying makes zero sense. How would transferring to a...

    This sounds like my husband & his parents. My husband is 32 & his parents are 70, his mother had cancer & does everything for her husband. He's not as sickly, yet, but it will be coming....

    OrganizedChaos replied to zurus's topic in General Students

    Ok from what I understood you will graduate in May 2017 but you want to take the NCLEX in February 2017? If you have not finished your degree requirements you cannot take the NCLEX until then. But...
