    Is My Pay Really That Bad???

    LPNtoRNin2016OH replied to Nurse_Lightning's topic in Travel

    That's crazy. I am in a LPN in Ohio and made more than you at my first job in long term care. $23/hour is about what I make PRN in LTC

    I need some help with statistics

    LPNtoRNin2016OH replied to amberm5's topic in Western Governors University

    I second Kahn academy, a tutor, and possibly looking into getting a better textbook. Prior to statistics, I had a difficult time passing algebra 1 in high school, granted that was 9-10 years prior,...

    I can't stop thinking about quitting nursing school.

    LPNtoRNin2016OH replied to efsrous's topic in General Students

    I had to comment on your reply because even just during my pre-reqs I have noticed this mentality from professors/nursing staff. I am like you and welcome criticism, I have been an LPN for 5+ years...

    I can't stop thinking about quitting nursing school.

    LPNtoRNin2016OH replied to efsrous's topic in General Students

    Even if you end up NOT like direct patient care after you graduate and get your first job, that doesn't mean you have to leave nursing, it just means you need to look at other avenues. I understand...

    LPNtoRNin2016OH replied to danedsel's topic in General Students

    i stuck myself with a used Tdap needle last year when I was 15 weeks pregnant. I was seriously terrified until I went to employee health and learned how rare it actually is to transmit anything from a...

    Abandonment if I don't pick up over time shifts??

    LPNtoRNin2016OH replied to hollyspiller0253's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Her scenario happens all the time in the LTC I PRN at and I know quite a few other nurses who experience the same in other facilities. It's actually not uncommon in LTC. So much employee overturn...

    LPNtoRNin2016OH replied to heemotha78's topic in General Students

    I am 28 and look 16, I get your not old enough to be a nurse all the time from patients and families. I take it in stride, smile, and wow them with my nursing abilities :) no one cares about what they...

    Does the school you choose even really matter anymore?

    LPNtoRNin2016OH replied to LPNtoRNin2016OH's topic in General Students

    If you are in southern Ohio we are going to the same school lol sounds just like mine! It makes sense that new grads would have a better chance, hopefully that will stay true, because it's my dream...

    Does the school you choose even really matter anymore?

    LPNtoRNin2016OH posted a topic in General Students

    As far whether you went to an accredited college, for profit school, tech school, etc? Does it even matter anymore now that the nursing market is opening back up again (At least in my area it is)? I...

    LPNtoRNin2016OH replied to Nurse_CrystalRN's topic in Nursing Career

    I am an LPN, currently in my bridge program, but have worked and am currently working in LTC/Skilled. Besides age, I will tell there is not much difference between the patients I have on my skilled...

    Getting a C in Anatomy :(

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

    i say this in a nice way but you just have to suck it up. I have a 4.0 with three kids and I work, you can do it. I gave birth to my third child last year during the semester and had severe PPD but I...

    Finally figured out how I study best

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

    Once you figure out how you study, it's seriously an eye opener!! Now I know why I did terrible in high school lol. I am 18 months from graduating but I have learned I am the opposite of you, lecture...

    i need advice, new lpn student

    LPNtoRNin2016OH replied to dreamer0x's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Don't talk yourself out of this, you will psych yourself out. Granted, I do think it will be slightly more challenging for you if you haven't been in any healthcare setting but that should really only...

    Is A&P 2 more difficult than A&P 1?

    LPNtoRNin2016OH replied to Shawn91111's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am in A+P II right now, currently have an 88%, and for A+P 1 I ended with an A. It think it depends on your teacher. My A+P2 teacher is REALLY heavy on the physiology end which doesn't come easily...

    "JUST" an Lpn

    LPNtoRNin2016OH replied to Newnurse19882010's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    You will get this many, many times in your career as an LPN unfortunately. I get this in LTC and we literally do the exact same role as the RNs now that we can do PICC lines in our state. Literally,...

    Brand new lvn- memory care facility

    LPNtoRNin2016OH replied to 619nurse's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Not saying you can't handle it but being a brand new nurse and doing all the caregiving and nurse duties for the time being will be very difficult. Think about it, there will be no caregivers who know...

    LPNtoRNin2016OH replied to oatmeal's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    If administration isn't behind you, your screwed. Every facility I have been at, the policy clearly states that while we are to supervise the CNAs on our hall, we are not to dole out write ups or...

    LPNtoRNin2016OH replied to avidhunter3's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    If Xanax has proven to not help, I would start looking towards holistic options and therapy as described above. He needs to figure out why he is so stressing so hard when he sits down to that...
