    LPNtoRNin2016OH replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I have been PRN since August, was brought on by choice as an PRN employee. The facility rules are minimum 2 shifts a month, nothing else. I never understood the point of being PRN if your mandated to...

    A&P 1 final

    LPNtoRNin2016OH replied to tbird88's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I was sick over the cumulative part -- each lecture test had 3-4 chapters - each chapter had a study guide with 60+ questions, all fair game for exams and finals. It was scary, I left the final...

    Favorite ways to study for A&P and biology

    LPNtoRNin2016OH replied to amber0627's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I only write information for comprehensive finals. I just did this for my A+P 2 comprehensive final and scored an 88% on the final and a 91% overall in the class. I made a one page (back and front)...

    Grade confusion. Help pls.

    LPNtoRNin2016OH replied to guest935762's topic in General Students

    oh wow, would like to know how this turns out. The fairest thing would be is to let you re-take the test. Why is he just now telling you he lost it? Why did he give you an

    IS THERE A DEMAND FOR LPN'S AND RN's

    LPNtoRNin2016OH replied to wwdahn's topic in General Nursing

    Aint that the truth. I interview in HHC a few weeks ago, no experience, just wanted to see the deal. It was mostly pediatric vent patients. The training, per hour pay for training, and per hour for...

    IS THERE A DEMAND FOR LPN'S AND RN's

    LPNtoRNin2016OH replied to wwdahn's topic in General Nursing

    Depends on area --- Mine needs LPNs in LTC pretty bad right now (have actually seen a freaking sign on bonus), other than that, job market is normal. Experienced RNs are seeing sign on bonuses in...

    Advice wanted, as an older RN student, what thing should I NOT do?

    LPNtoRNin2016OH replied to hamsterwheel's topic in LPN to RN

    While I do not feel the need, ever, to mother other students ( I have three kids and a husband, don't need another!) I do have to refrain from giving other students unsolicited advice like "Well you...

    **venting**

    LPNtoRNin2016OH replied to bdbrdb's topic in Private Duty

    With 3 children I totally understand not wanting your kids in daycare. But I don't understands being with a man who yells women like their dogs. I would: get a job w/ steady paycheck (LTC/SNF,...

    Failed anatomy and low GPA

    Also agree with useless pre req advisors, mine has given me a million wrong answers, I directly email the nursing department

    Failed anatomy and low GPA

    LPNtoRNin2016OH replied to cashpiper's topic in General Students

    This was great advice. I graduated high school with a 2.6. Now hold a 4.0 in my bridge program. Did I gain IQ points? No, I finally accepted to ace classes I had to put the time in, more than other...

    LPNtoRNin2016OH replied to tbird88's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took my A&P 2 final last week, so glad its over!! It was a comprehensive final too, yuck. I love A&P but my professor was awful. All I have done is study 24/7 since August. I got an A-...

    How long is an acceptable amount of time for ne LPNs to orient?

    LPNtoRNin2016OH replied to I.can.do.this.18's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    That would be my first red flag honestly. I have worked in many nursing homes - the only that was ever decent is the one I am in now where I was offered as many training days as I needed to feel...

    Being Ignored

    LPNtoRNin2016OH replied to clarinets's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I don't care how busy you are or how persistent someone is - ignoring someone is downright immature. Instead, it would be beneficial for the nurse to speak with the CNA if they were needing too much...

    Better to be an LPN than not a nurse at all?

    LPNtoRNin2016OH replied to livimo's topic in General Students

    Overall, I have had a great career as an LPN and am now back in school for my RN. My bridge program is at a well respected university - at a satellite campus. When I graduate with my associates, it's...

    LVN new grad needs advice please!

    LPNtoRNin2016OH replied to mariamarro321's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Well it definitely sounds as though they have some not so great practices and it wasn't a good fit for you. And that's ok, as I said before, it happened to me. I would personally leave it off your...

    Is Your Workplace Healthy... really...

    LPNtoRNin2016OH replied to SarahEAW's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Bottom line is that your employer could care less about your health, they just want you to stop costing them money -- they certainly won't spend more money make sure employees have access to a fitness...

    LPNtoRNin2016OH replied to SarahEAW's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I understand what your saying and would personally like the same but just be careful what you wish for. My job started instituting health screenings, reduced rates for non smoking/regular BMI, great...

    LPNtoRNin2016OH replied to jackshepard's topic in General Nursing

    So I might have just failed my first nursing class

    LPNtoRNin2016OH replied to alie46's topic in General Students

    Honey you didn't just rob a bank or commit murder, you failed a test. I say this as a mother, if my child failed a semester of nursing school and felt as terrible as you do, I would do nothing to make...

    Statistics class

    LPNtoRNin2016OH replied to mago8388's topic in General Students

    I cannot imagine taking stats online and I got an A. It isn't hard - it's just involved and having a professor to walk you through it (it builds each chapter, you miss one thing, you miss it all)...

    LPNtoRNin2016OH replied to Live..&..Learn's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Isn't it something that how well you do in nursing comes down to how well your liked and not how well you work?! Maybe it is because I am a nurse, but the one time I did have somewhat of an emergency...

    MD to RN?

    LPNtoRNin2016OH replied to jackshepard's topic in General Nursing

    I have only known one person who has done this. She was from Russia, where she was an MD, and for whatever reason her education/experience only equaled an LPN in the states. She had a really hard time...
