    what gpa is good?

    ShannonRN2010 replied to savexpigoo's topic in General Students

    That is a good GPA. I think anything above a 3.0 in nursing school is pretty good though! I think the only time GPA is going to matter is if you apply to grad school, then most like to see a GPA of...

    ShannonRN2010 replied to Curious88's topic in General Nursing

    You know, I get the feeling that it's not that you don't WANT to wipe butt, but that you think you're too good to do it. THAT attitude will get you no where fast in this field. No...no one likes to...

    Older Nursing students

    ShannonRN2010 replied to MarieD's topic in General Students

    I am 33. I became an LPN when I was 25. I think that age has worked to my favor, I am more focused and find that being older with 2 kids really makes me work harder for this. My best friend went to...

    ShannonRN2010 replied to Short-Stuff 23's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I just took a position as a nursing supervisor. I worked LTC for years as an LPN. I enjoy LTC cause I may have had 30 pt. but I loved joking with and talking to my pt. during my med passes. I pretty...

    I was reported by the social worker.........

    ShannonRN2010 replied to Vonique's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    This will be an unpopular opinion, but assuming that you have been in LTC nursing, you know why NOT to leave a pt. alone to take meds...I had a pt. choke to death on me once and that has never left...

    Pertussis Titer instead of vaccination?

    ShannonRN2010 replied to GleeGum's topic in General Nursing

    Due to a horrible family/person history of vaccination reactions, I am opting out until it's mandatory. I have had titers drawn for everything. Thankfully, I still carry my immunity. Most cases I have...

    Any advice on how to approach all of the assigned reading?

    ShannonRN2010 replied to MunkeyLuv's topic in General Students

    I didn't bother with anything before lecture, because usually I was studying for a test. I would use the powerpoints, go over the stuff in the book that I really didn't understand, hit the NCLEX book...
