  1. Feeling Lost

    EquinoxSolstice92 posted a topic in Health, Stress Management

    I don't know where else to turn to. I may not make any sense here so please bare with me. I'm currently an LVN who's working full time at a skilled nursing facility. I work the graveyard shift. I plan...

  2. Have any of your patients ever told you that you're a good nurse?

    EquinoxSolstice92 posted a topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    It means a lot to me when the patients themselves tell me that I'm a good nurse. That means I'm doing my job well. The first time the resident in the LTC I work at told me that was when I first...

  3. Bullying in the workplace

    EquinoxSolstice92 replied to PrincessAlexiss's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I honestly don't care if my co-workers don't like me but the problem is how they act. This isn't the first time that she's ever done this. This nurse I was talking about doesn't even clean up the...

  4. Bullying in the workplace

    EquinoxSolstice92 replied to PrincessAlexiss's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    The thing is, other CNAs and nurses don't have anything nice to say about her. A lot of my co-workers don't like this third nurse I was referring to. One CNA said, "the charge nurse is mean." I...

  5. Do You Need to be an RN to enter this Field?

    EquinoxSolstice92 posted a topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    The longer question is: do you need to be an RN in order to become a dialysis nurse? Can LVNs enter this field or do you need to have a two-year or four-year degree? I was thinking of going into...

  6. suicide? Is this a trend with new nurses that can not cope?

    EquinoxSolstice92 replied to elysRN's topic in General Nursing

    The problem we have is that... bosses care more about customer satisfaction, not the employees' satisfaction at all. At least, it feels that way. Nurses feel underappreciated and that nothing they do...

  7. Bullying in the workplace

    EquinoxSolstice92 replied to PrincessAlexiss's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Most of the nurses in my workplace are usually pleasant but there are about three nurses who are disgruntled and grouchy. They've been working at the LTC for a long time and they're usually older....

  8. How did you spend your first nursing paycheck?

    EquinoxSolstice92 replied to NewGradRN114's topic in General Nursing

    I don't remember exactly where I spent my first paycheck but I remember that I was so happy when I got that first taste of earning my own money. I think I gave some of it to my mom to help with paying...

  9. Did I ACTUALLY pass the NCLEX?

    EquinoxSolstice92 posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I took the NCLEX-PN on March 21st, 2015 and I just got my test results yesterday. They send you the test results through the mai, right? So, one afternoon, my grandma was checking the mail and she...

  10. Nursing is a passion?

    EquinoxSolstice92 replied to mindofmidwifery's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    My answer is gonna be a little different: I love studying about the human body but I don't actually like nursing at all. If that makes sense. When I was a little girl, I used to read my mom's old...

  11. Do I have to be an RN to be a Medical Writer?

    EquinoxSolstice92 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I've always wanted to become a writer but I took nursing instead. I thought, "why not become a medical writer?" The problem is, I'm only an LVN. I'm going to pursue my RN but for now, I'm working at a...

  12. Do I have to be an RN to be a Medical Writer?

    EquinoxSolstice92 replied to EquinoxSolstice92's topic in General Nursing

    What I meant was that yes, I wanted to pursue an Associate's Degree in nursing. I meant I wanted to get my two-year degree. Is that enough to become a medical writer or do I need to get a four-year...

  13. Do I have to be an RN to be a Medical Writer?

    EquinoxSolstice92 replied to EquinoxSolstice92's topic in General Nursing

    Then I guess I can't be a medical writer then because I don't think I want to pursue a Bachelor's Degree in nursing although I'll pursue my RN degree. Two years isn't enough then. You need a four year...

  14. Do I have to be an RN to be a Medical Writer?

    EquinoxSolstice92 replied to EquinoxSolstice92's topic in General Nursing

    Anything will do. Writing a blog, a textbook, an

  15. Difference between CR and CPR

    EquinoxSolstice92 posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    This is my first time writing an article (a short one at that) and this is targeted for those who haven't taken the test yet. If you already know this, then don't read it. It's not the best written...

  16. Difference between CR and CPR

    EquinoxSolstice92 replied to EquinoxSolstice92's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Maybe it's the number of questions that you got right and the ones you got wrong. There must be a number of questions you need in order to pass that area.

  17. Nursing with Psoriasis?

    EquinoxSolstice92 replied to SineadRose's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Actually, I've been done with nursing school about 3 years ago. All I did was put on an ointment in my hair (which made my hair greasy) and wash it off with Neutrogena shampoo. Also, I had to limit my...

  18. Nursing with Psoriasis?

    EquinoxSolstice92 replied to SineadRose's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    First off, you're not alone. I also have psoriasis but I only have scalp psoriasis and don't get some flakes on my face. It must be hard dealing with it and you must be insecure as well. What you need...

  19. Thinking about becoming a nurse...at 40!

    EquinoxSolstice92 replied to margaretann's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I had two classmates who were both 42 years old at the time they were studying in nursing school. Both of these women were the same age as my mom. When I first applied to a nursing school in Vallejo,...

  20. Did I ACTUALLY pass the NCLEX?

    EquinoxSolstice92 replied to EquinoxSolstice92's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    That's a relief! This goes for a celebration. My family and friends are planning to celebrate my pass. Can't believe I passed it on the first try. I got a CR (Candidate Report), not the CPR (Candidate...

  21. Failed?

    EquinoxSolstice92 replied to NCLEX-RN prep's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    The amount of questions you got or the format of the questions doesn't mean anything. What matters is the number of right answers you got. I'm the opposite of you. You said that you didn't get any...

  22. Pearson Vue Trick 2015 Latest

    EquinoxSolstice92 replied to NurseCalif's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I hope that's the case. I got the good pop ups twice and it didn't accept my mom's credit card. Really? I didn't try the PVT after I took my test on March 21st. I think I tried using the trick after...

  23. Just finished the test

    EquinoxSolstice92 replied to EquinoxSolstice92's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I took my test in Oakland, California so it might take a while. In all honesty, I don't want to know whether I passed or failed. I'm a little burned out right

  24. Just finished the test

    EquinoxSolstice92 posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Has anyone had their test stop at 90? I thought that the LVN test should've stopped at 85. When I answered 5 more questions, I was thinking that I might reach 100 but I didn't. Is that bad? Does that...

  25. Just finished the test

    EquinoxSolstice92 replied to EquinoxSolstice92's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I also received those sequence questions. I admit, it's not the type of questions that bother me, it's the question itself. I used to be intimidated with SATA becausE I thought they're hard. Ever...
