  1. LPN versus CMA

    PeepnBiscuitsRN replied to PeepnBiscuitsRN's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Wow...geez. I go away for like 2 years and come back and this thread is still, um, hoppin. I sure didn't mean for it go get so nasty. When I posted it I was sure I wanted to work in a clinic and...

  2. Century College LPN-RN (posted this somewhere else but meant to be here)

    PeepnBiscuitsRN posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hi all. I'm going to be starting the LPN-RN program at Century College in MN this May. I'm REALLY stoked. There's so much I want to do when I get my RN- so many places I want to go with it, including...

  3. LPN's in Clinics in Ontario

    PeepnBiscuitsRN posted a topic in International Nursing

    Hey all. I'm an LPN of 1 year aprox. from Minnesota. My husband and I were entertaining the idea of moving to Canada, probably somewhere in Ontario, and somewhere urban, like Toronto. I currently...

  4. No jobs for LPN graduates anymore?

    PeepnBiscuitsRN replied to Bala Shark's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I just started my job at a clinic as an LPN. It didn't take long for me to find it, but I guess that depends on the state in which you live. I'm in MN...we have this "wonderful" thing called the...

  5. Anyone know anything about "Med Personnel"?

    PeepnBiscuitsRN posted a topic in General Nursing

    I was going through the Carreer Builder thing in the PP and I saw this advertisement for "Med Personnel" and they don't really say what they're all about- they just say stuff like "Clinic LPN's to...

  6. Alright, just so I have it straight

    PeepnBiscuitsRN posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I took the NCLEX PN today...shut off at 85, and I got a lot of prioritzing questions (IE: Who would the Nurse see first...) this is a good sign? Because I sure felt like I was taking shots in the dark...

  7. Ha HA!

    PeepnBiscuitsRN posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I'm ELATED! I passed the NCLEX!!! Pearson didn't have my results, and so I thought I'd just check the MN board, and it said "Passed Exam" So I take that to mean I...PASSED!!! This is so VERY ironic,...

  8. WOW I did it :)

    PeepnBiscuitsRN replied to danigirl58's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

  9. Graduation and NCLEX-PN Time line

    PeepnBiscuitsRN posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    How long after graduation does it take to be able to take the NCLEX? What I'm trying to ask here is- if I graduate on 15 May, can I take the NCLEX some time soon thereafter (like end of May or

  10. How long after graduation can I take boards?

    PeepnBiscuitsRN posted a topic in General Nursing

    I actually did post this under the NCLEX forum but they said it varied by where you're at. Soooo that said, I graduate in May, from an LPN program and I wanted to know how long I'm looking at before I...

  11. :( Sad - LPN (little pretend nurse comment)

    PeepnBiscuitsRN replied to Amyjosonata's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Oh poopy on him! He probably would have said something just as snide if you said you were going to be a RN too. I told my otolaryngoloist when I was 18 I was all set to go to nursing school for my RN...

  12. Where to work as an LPN while going for RN?

    PeepnBiscuitsRN posted a topic in LPN to RN

    I was just wondering where is a good place to work as an LPN while I go to school for my RN? I see many of the RN classes are in the day, so I assume something in the evening? I don't know if I could...

  13. Former St. Paul Tech folks part 2

    PeepnBiscuitsRN posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hey all- well, Monday starts the big day: CLINICAL 1. We have to take a doseage test (which I'm pretty nervous about because I'm still scratching my head about how I got a B in doseage) and then we...

  14. Former St. Paul Tech folks part 2

    PeepnBiscuitsRN replied to PeepnBiscuitsRN's topic in General Nursing

    At SPTC they don't give you a choice whether or not you go to day clinical or night clinical. I was a night clinical person, so that had me on from 2-10pm. It was monday through thursday. If you go...

  15. This whole nursing care plan deal

    PeepnBiscuitsRN posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    my instructor is very vague. She seems to not like any care plan I write up, and gives the same remarks everytime she hands them back "it's not measureable, it's not patient focused, the...

  16. What were your clinicals like?

    PeepnBiscuitsRN replied to FarainFlorida's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Did you per chance go to St. Paul Technical

  17. What were your clinicals like?

    PeepnBiscuitsRN replied to FarainFlorida's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    We had to go Mon-Thurs if we were in a night Clinical and Mon-Fri if in a day clinical. You get no choice in where you go, what time you go etc. They do not care- it is a horrible school and I'm sorry...

  18. Anyone else had this experience... is the BSN program better

    PeepnBiscuitsRN replied to Dawdett's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Heh...do you go to my school? I swear those words have come out of my instructors mouth on more than a few occasions in some form or another...berating us and demeaning us. My school is just bad...the...

  19. LPN's in Labour and Delivery?

    PeepnBiscuitsRN posted a topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    PeepnBiscuitsRN replied to katmiaow's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks! I need one! I'm p-ing and moaning about getting a B in Med Surg...and I got a B because I missed ONE question on the final. ONE more right and I would have gotten an A. But really I shouldn't...

  22. New BSN program...( Globe College )

    PeepnBiscuitsRN replied to katmiaow's topic in General Nursing

    They're just starting out this January, and I suppose that's why they're "working" on accreditation. I too was surprised on hearing this...it's kind of a neat little secret if it really lives up to...

  23. Resumes and the like

    PeepnBiscuitsRN posted a topic in General Nursing

    So I'll be graduating from St. Paul Tech in May (knock on wood) and I really would like to work in a clinic...especially urgent care since I may or may not be going back for my BSN right away. I was...

  24. What were your clinicals like?

    PeepnBiscuitsRN replied to FarainFlorida's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I'm in MN. Not all LPN programs in MN are like this but this one sucks. For clinical one we're going to be at a nursing home for 2 weeks, for clinical 2 we'll be at another nursing home for 2 weeks,...

  25. What were your clinicals like?

    PeepnBiscuitsRN replied to FarainFlorida's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Well that sounds nice, it looks like we're doing 2 weeks of a nursing home for first clinical, a nursing home for second clinical, and then a day care for peeds. I hate my
