Thank you for that. It sounds like heaven to me! LOL After working 12-13 hour shifts on the Med/Surg floor and being thrown anywhere from 8-9 pts and you cringe when you see the call light go off and you are made to carry a phone at all times so even...

I used Saunders Comprehensive study and did the cd that came with it, over and over again. I also used Exam Cram Force Cd and both helped me alot! Things I forgot about was in that one and things my teacher never went over also! Good Luck!

WOW! Good for you on going back! And with all those problems too, I am sorry to hear you have so many medical conditions that seem to be hurdles for you, but it looks like you are determined and in my book that is all you need to get over those hurdl...

I was just curious being a new grad and all, to where most of the LPN's found the best rate of pay? Was it at an LTC because it seems like they are the one's that have the highest rate of pay. Believe me that is not the only thing I would be looking...

Hi, I just graduated in July and started working at a hospital as a CNA until I took my boards and passed. I passed my boards and have been orientating as a new nurse on the Med/Surg floor and so far I don' t like it at all. The staff I work with is ...

Thanks everyone! The problem is this is a small town and the closest Peds' hospital position is an hour away in the big city. I am thinking that the hospital thing is not for me because of the hours. I see my nurse career going further than what I am...

Ok guys, I don't know. I am doing the Suanders Review CD and everytime I take an exam or review of 100 total questions EVERY single time without fail I get 59-60 of them right. So I am thinking I am way not ready for this exam? Did anyone do this rev...

Thank you for your response. Although I have not spoken to the agencies directly I do see post from them a couple of them that are looking for LPN's so I know they are hireing them. For what I don't know.

HI there! I don' t believe any age is "to Old" to learn anything! I believe you can do whatever you want to do. I will tell you that I was once an MA in a Pediatrics office for 8 yrs and a few short stays in podiatry, general surgeon's office, infect...

I just took mine on 9-26 and I am in Fla. The questions I got were mostly priority questions, but I had to know the diseases to make the decision. I can tell you what I did to study and it seemed to help me pass. I did Saunders Review CD and ALWAYS S...

Mine shut off at 85 and I was sick literally almost vomitting on the way home. I knew the moment it shut off I did horrible! I called my entire family on the way home and told them I failed. Well I didn't! And I was shocked! I can tell you that the O...
