Yes Suzanne, I agree with you, thank you for the advice....I am for learning, and I love school, the only thing is that I speak 5 foreign languages and is kind of dificult to put limits among them ...in my brain I mean.....It is nice to know foreign languages , but it looks that sometimes is good just to know one, and that one to be perfect....especially when is about English...this language is very beautiful....this makes me want to know it completely...i wish.... Thank you guys again, for your support!

Thank you very much, I will call the board and ask... :) you guys are a big help....God bless you all!

Well, the only think I can say is THANK YOU! Your words mean so much to me! God bless you all....I will try to find something so i can work as an LPN, if not, I will have to go back to school, and try to learn how to do all these paper work, and other things i feel weak in doing it. I just like to do things correctly, and when i live my work to be satisfied that i did a good job. You all, are so nice..... In the place I worked all I heard, was about our license... I heard so many times about how easy is to loose the license...but nobody told me exactly why and how we can loose it....so I was afraid not to do any mistakes...and having that in my mind I was so tensioned....Is it there a book I can read about rules in nursing? Or laws in nursing? How long can we have in orientation? Is there a rule? Or depends on the facility? I am sorry if I am asking silly things, but it looks like you guys are closest to me than anybody else right now...THANK YOU again!!!!!!!!!! I :) appreciate your time! PS: I can't believe you guys wrote me these nice messages....very encouraging! See sometimes, "When God closes a dor he opens another one for us, but we are so obsessed about the one closed, and we do not have eyes to see the other one opened"

I finished my nursing school in Europe, I moved here to be with my dear husband. He is gone to Iraq now...I have nobody to talk with and ask advices, so I will really appreciate your opinion and help. I passed NCLEX here in US, and I enjoyed studying for it.....the think is that my first job as an LPN was in a Care Center...it was not a long term care because patients were changing so often...so I really do not know the difference, any way I have a problem......when I had to call doctors about labs , or other reasons, I had problems understanding their orders....one time , I had a lady doctor on the phone and I asked her to repeat the order for me, she was whispering to somebody ..." Oh, my God!!!" I felt very bad, very bad.....another time, I had to call two doctors for two different patients, I was running on the hallway back and forth, and the phone rang, so busy and crazy how it was that day, I jumped to answer the phone, and I do not know what was in my had, but I gave information's to the doctor on the phone from a wrong chart.....of course, I called back and excused myself...but I felt so bad.....I did not do any medications errors, my treatments were done correctly, but the papers and talking on the phone is just not for me....I was afraid I will do a mistake, so after three months ( approximately) I decided to quit....this was like a part time job for me, because I do have another job, but there I am not a nurse..... I need your opinion...I am so afraid of being a nurse, things are different from the way I studied them, and I am afraid that I will loose my license if I do a mistake. Now, is this just because I did not study in US? Or is just simply me, I am not good enough? I really care about everything I am doing, and if I feel I am not doing something good, I feel really bad....and I do not know what other jobs I can get, as a LPN. So, my big question for you is, where I can I get a job, hospitals do not need me (LPN), LTC, nursing homes...looks I am not good for this...doctor offices , do they want LPNs? The newspaper doesn't have other jobs than nursing home...I am very disappointed...... You, people are great, and I am sure everybody is doing a good work....I do not know about me..... I thought I am a strong person, but I am just sad.... Please, excuse my grammatically mistakes, thank you!!!!!!!! Any input would be appreciated, thank you!
