    Should I go for LPN?

    LPNtoRNin2016OH replied to honeyforasalteyfish's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I have been an LPN since 2008, now in a bridge program for my RN, I think becoming an LPN had been very beneficial. I will give you a little list why it has been for me: - Gaining entry to the bridge...

    LPNtoRNin2016OH replied to DierkyBrewster's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    SNF can be so miserable that way..it's just mind boggling the things management comes up with. I was an STNA in one LTC before I got my LPN and there was a policy put in place that we were only...

    LPNtoRNin2016OH replied to LPNtoRNin2016OH's topic in General Students

    That's just an awful attitude but I can see how this is happening with the 18-early 20 somethings I am in school with. They complain they get bad grades but yet they do not work for good ones . I...

    What thrills you/what terrifies you?

    LPNtoRNin2016OH replied to Philly85's topic in General Nursing

    I just left Occ Health and one of the most thrilling things was getting someone who chopped a finger/hand/toe what have you off in a machine. Of course I don't want anything to happen to anyone but...

    Weed and work.

    LPNtoRNin2016OH replied to LDAthleteNurse's topic in General Nursing

    LPNtoRNin2016OH replied to Nursing4U2's topic in General Students

    My school CONSTANTLY changes the policies without letting anyone know, what can I do? Nothing. Roll with it. They just put in place a test we have to take in order to sit for clinicals two months...

    Nervous about my chances of getting into nursing

    LPNtoRNin2016OH replied to Aking80's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I graduated high school by a hair, really, like a 2.6 or something. I hold a 4.0 and what is considered a difficult program. I am not a super smart person but I am relentless and work hard when I want...

    LPNtoRNin2016OH replied to BeatsPerMinute's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I am a sensitive person and used to be someone who borrowed "other people's worries". Seriously, I would cry when someone I have never met was on TV talking about loosing their husband, etc. I have...

    Bad job reference from my school...now what?

    LPNtoRNin2016OH replied to Dreamscometru's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Well OP, this sucks. This is why, unfortunately, we are required to play "the game" in nursing school if we want to get ahead after graduation. By getting ahead I mean sucking up to the school so they...

    Wanting to quit on LTC/Skilled nursing facility orientation.

    LPNtoRNin2016OH replied to nursefromcali's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    So fed up with my coworker

    LPNtoRNin2016OH replied to Rainy day RN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    And whoever quoted daycare as a reason she is PRN is most likely spot on. If I had my three kids :1, 4, and 6 in fulltime daycare, before/after school care, it would be well over $2k/mo and I am in...

    Once you work in acute care you can't go back to LTC?

    LPNtoRNin2016OH replied to Cola89's topic in General Nursing

    Yes that helps a lot, I can see what you mean now. My patient load was the same as your when you were in SNF (25) but the rehab patients just arent hip replacements there for OT/PT anymore! Otherwise,...
