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 on going to school to become an RN but... I don't...

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 started working PM. At that time, I used to work NOC shi...

To be honest, I want to leave nursing until I realized that I want to leave LTC Nursing. Sorry but geriatrics just isn't my thing. The good thing about nursing is that there are other fields to explore and you don't have to be stuck in one you don't ...

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 medcart right after her shift which is sometimes un...

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 didn't really have an opinion on her because I only wor...

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 dialysis and I have a former co-worker who's currently ...

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 will ever be good enough so some quit. To the nurs...

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. Don't have anything against older nurses. In fact, th...

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 the bills. The rest? I spent that money on food.

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 gave me an envelope that's from the boards. I open...

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 textbooks and read about anatomy and physiology. I lik...

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 long term care facility in order to gain some exp...

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 degree.

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 degree in order to be a medical writer.

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

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 article but please bear with me. CPR doesn't stand...

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. https://www.ncsbn.org/Sample_CPR_PN.pdf

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 intake of shrimp since I can't eat too much of it...

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 to do is to go to a doctor (preferrably a dermato...

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, the staff thought that my grandma's the one applyi...

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 Performance Report) because if I did, then they w...

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 SATA but unfortunately for me, I got like more than 1...

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 March ended and when I registered, they didn't acc...

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 now.

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 determine whether I pass or fail. Anyways, I just...
