I'm working in LTC/post acute rehab and making $23/hr. In Chicago, IL. Only been a nurse since June so this is my first nursing position.

Hello all nurses This is my first day on the floor as a LPN at a long term care/post acute rehab facility. I work the 3 to 11 shift and had 2 weeks training. 1 week was on 7 to 3 and the other week was 3 to 11. I feel like I don't know what to do or where to start. I know I have to make my rounds, narcotics count, then get report but after that I have not a clue. On most of my training the the nurses were very fast and just kept saying "you will learn on your own" . I need some type of guidance of where to start after ? Please help

Yes I felt like this in nursing school and just got done in April. I'm a single mom with 1 child no husband but alot of support and worked full time throughout in a full time program . It was 3 hr sleep days, depression that lasted months sometimes, alot of crying , alot of struggling and it took every strength I had in me to continue on everyday but I did it. Nursing is what I always wanted to do and I love the medical field I was a medical assistant for 7 years also. But don't quit keep going im telling you its not going to be easy or everyone would be a nurse and you can do it If it's something you have a passion to do

Hello MsColeman 78. I know this is a bit off subject but I know you are in Chicago. I wanted to know how long did it take your pass letter to come after you passed the nclex? It's been 11 days for me so far and I already have 2 interviews..please help

I just passed the nclex on the 13th and I just been applying to alot of different places online. I gave 4 interviews scheduled and I don't even have a pass letter yet. I'm in Illinois though. Try applying any and every where online. Spend at least 2 hours a day doing this

My overall percentage for kaplan was 57% and I passed the first time with the minimum questions

Take it you're ready

It's sounds like you all passed congratulations

Hi did your school do the 3 day live reveiw with ATI? Mine did and they gave us like a PN review book about 250 pages long. I took my predictor and got 98 % chance of passing then after reading that whole book got a 99% chance and I just passed the nclex Monday and the nclex was very similar to that book also

I got my results today and I PASSED

Just to let everyone know I got my results today and I PASSED!!!!!

I'm in Illinois and our BON puts our results up in 24 hours so I will see on the BON tomorrow

Thanks I think we all pass. I just hate waiting . I did the pearsonvue trick and got the good pop up but will see

I took mine today to. It was the PN though. I got the minimum questions which was 85 and I had half SATA and half multiple choice nothing else.

Yes it was
