   mikayyCNA_ replied to LPNTOBE2017's topic in General Nursing

   This is such an interesting thread for me as a current PCT. I'm still in my first month of PN school so we haven't learned a whole lot about delegation. Anyway, I work on a behavioral health unit and even admission vital signs are taken by us techs. ...

   mikayyCNA_ replied to Dagmawi's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Have you considered PN school? I'm enrolled in a program currently. While it is still very competitive, it maybe be easier to get accepted for now. There's also bridge programs for LPNs to obtain their ADN or BSN.

    Today is my last day of my second week. It has been going great and I love all the things I have been learning. It has also been STRESSFUL! My instructor is such a hard *** and even though I resent her for it now I know I'll appreciate it later.
