  1. How do you not feel terrible after making mistakes during clinicals?

    LittleCandles replied to MaryFutureRN's topic in General Students

    Wow your instructor is childish I never heard of any instructor doing that. I've made those silly kind of mistakes as a nurse (as a matter of fact, I got back a fall report today *for the second time...

  2. How to pay for school?

    LittleCandles replied to nickimarie93's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    This is probably the worst advice I ever gave and I'm even debating posting it but I don't know what else you can do. Do you work? Can you do a payday loan? Ugh those suck but... It will get you what...

  3. Carrington, Everest, and Brookline

    LittleCandles replied to surgical1's topic in General Students

    Everest is shut down by the DOE. I actually attended there in MI. If the Phoenix one is still open I would avoid it at all costs. They had shady business

  4. States that actually have a nursing shortage?

    LittleCandles replied to QuietRiot's topic in General Nursing

    A need for nurses in West Michigan | WOODTV.com I guess my numbers are off, 3.5 % down but 55% are 55 years or older. They have a link to a survey

  5. States that actually have a nursing shortage?

    LittleCandles replied to QuietRiot's topic in General Nursing

    I don't really know if they talked to them or if they are saying they are over the retirement age. However I do know we do have a nursing shortage and the number of new nurses have gone down a lot...

  6. States that actually have a nursing shortage?

    LittleCandles replied to QuietRiot's topic in General Nursing

    There was an article here (Michigan) that we are at a nursing shortage and our amount of nurses went down (I want to say like 13% and 35% of nurses are about to

  7. LPN for 15years with no complaints\ reporting on my license.

    LittleCandles replied to sboston20's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Why so many excuses? This wasn't an accident. You didn't have "a little line of cocaine" mixed in your coffee and set up. You did this. "A little line" of cocaine is nothing to brush off. I'm sorry...

  8. 2015 Current LPN Pay

    LittleCandles replied to ipraz4him's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    18.21 an hour, with a 1 shift premium for being 3rd shift, 4 dollars more an hour if I pick up a weekday shift (4.5 hours or more), 6 dollars more an hour if I pick up a weekend shift (4.5 hours or...

  9. Medical Emergency and Abandonment

    LittleCandles posted a topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    A coworker and I had discussed this last night and we couldn't find an answer to save our lives. I work somewhere where we work alone during a shift. There is only 6 or 7 nurses employed. I'm...

  10. Pregnancy and 3rd shifts

    LittleCandles posted a topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    How bad of an idea is this? I just found out I'm pregnant and I am about to start a 3rd shift job... I am super excited about this job and don't know what will happen of how it's going to work 3rd...

  11. Pregnancy and 3rd shifts

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

    Thanks everyone, I'll do some research during my downtime tonight while working 3rd shift... Lol. It probably wouldn't be a good idea for me to quit a job I just got, especially with an amazing...

  12. The most annoying student

    LittleCandles replied to Fruit Sucker's topic in General Students

    I had this exact student in my class. It was actually worse and more drama because of rumors she spread about me and trying to get other people kicked out of the program. But why am I telling you...

  13. Please help I am starting to lose hope in becoming a nurse

    LittleCandles replied to wantstobeRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You honestly can say you did and cannot find a single nursing full time position. You're also a RN? Where do you live because you should leave that state. In MI, as a LPN, I make pretty good money,...

  14. Help, wanting to leave job within 6 month of hire

    LittleCandles replied to MMJ,BSN's topic in Nursing Career

    Lol I'm about to quit a job I've worked at for a WEEK! For a couple reasons, a chick I hated, HATED, works there. I also was offered full time employment making 3.21 more an hour somewhere else....

  15. Rejected..No Facebook?!!

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

    What?? You didn't get a job because you don't have a Facebook? That was definately a job you probably didn't want anyway. How ridiculous. I'm so sorry. Just keep looking! Hopefully something comes

  16. Online Schooling

    LittleCandles replied to JakeyBro's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I think it depends where you're from, the hospitals here won't take anyone with a BSN from either of those

  17. 3rd shift nursing as a new nurse with no experience

    LittleCandles posted a topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Bad idea? I am a new LPN, I just passed my NCLEX and got my license on Wednesday! I had an interview at a LTC facility and was told they only have 1st shift part time and 3rd shift full time. I...

  18. Do I really want to do this?

    LittleCandles replied to JessyHsn's topic in General Students

    I think if you love it during clinical then that should be a good indicator that you love nursing. Nursing school is intense and super stressful. We all have our moments of doubt while in school....

  19. LVN licensure concerns

    LittleCandles replied to Adamant's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    My understanding is if was expunged it is like it never happened. So you should be fine to get licensed. A lot of schools won't accept you into their program if you can't sit for your NCLEX

  20. MEN, dont come into nursing

    LittleCandles replied to DUDERNGUY's topic in Men in Nursing

    Dang. I'm glad I live in Michigan. We have a ton of nursing jobs. Shoot I work for an agency and I get a ton of hours because there are so many open jobs for nurses. Good thing I'm not moving to where...

  21. what part of 'I hereby resign my postition' did they not understand?

    LittleCandles replied to bb007rn's topic in Private Duty

    I work agency but I'm a LPN. I am also not doing home health. I get between 20-36 a week depending. I honestly don't think I like it. I just realized their competition clause is ridiculous. I didn't...

  22. what part of 'I hereby resign my postition' did they not understand?

    LittleCandles replied to bb007rn's topic in Private Duty

    I'm kind of more concerned they didn't have any hours for you for 9 months rather then them not understanding what resign

  23. Open interviews for 1+ yrs. experience. Should I just go??

    LittleCandles replied to Graduatenurse14's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I say go. What's the worse that can happen? Be told sorry we want someone with more experience? Wouldn't

  24. lpn float nurse dilemma/confusion

    LittleCandles replied to lpnchachee's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Wow!! That is not cool in the least. Yeah it think it is time to high tail it out of there. Can you apply at nursing homes? They seem to pay well for LPNs. And I also would avoid any job paying you so...

  25. Just took nclex-pn

    LittleCandles replied to 1031cmp's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs
