    SouthernBelle85 posted a topic in General Students

    So this is my last semester for the LPN program and we have Med Surg clinicals but we rotate out for Peds at clinics around the area. Well today was my first rotation and I blew it so bad..I cried my...

  2. Confidence and Assertiveness? Can I order that on Amazon? A terrible day.

    SouthernBelle85 replied to SouthernBelle85's topic in General Students

    Thanks for the encouraging comments. I know there is no chemical that will make me confident. But chemically in my brain, I believe is imbalanced....anxiety is not something new for me...it's just...

    SouthernBelle85 replied to snowyeyes2's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Been searching "anxiety, shy" on this forum and this post describes me. Except, I am a student. Last semester and I rotated at a clinic this wk and my awkwardness, shyness, anxiety...I can think...

  5. How to get an A in medical terminology course? (Merced College)

    SouthernBelle85 replied to forevermn's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Ours was combined with our A&P course. We watched Dean Vaughn videos on Friday, did the workbook and then took the test on Mondays. It was super easy. I think Dean Vaughn may be on youtube...the...

  6. School dosage math help

    SouthernBelle85 replied to nurse2bbetty1989's topic in General Students

    So pumps are usually set at ml/hr Yet this med needs to be infused in 15 minutes. So there are 60 minutes in a hour. 60 divided by 15 equals 4. 50 times 4 equals 200 ml/hr Sometimes I do equations...

  7. Fell asleep during clinical.

    SouthernBelle85 replied to lolplayingnurse's topic in General Students

    I can see getting a major antidote for it but I wouldn't think they would kick you out. Hopefully they won't and hopefully that has made your paranoid enough to not do that again! Wish you the best of...

  8. Is 35 too old to start from Scratch?

    SouthernBelle85 replied to BellaGrl's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I find it hilariously funny that you think 35 is old. I'll be 32 in june. I guess I better look into Life Alert...in case I fall in my home and break a hip. Too bad I can't qualify for medicare or...

  9. Making care plan for current treatment

    SouthernBelle85 replied to LilyRN99's topic in LPN, LVN Students

  10. Is 35 too old to start from Scratch?

    SouthernBelle85 replied to BellaGrl's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    No! I started the LPN program when I was 30 and now 31...I'll graduate in May and turn 32. Work a year and then probably start my RN at 33 or 34...which I'll end up 35 or 36 before I get that. Age is...

  11. Is 35 too old to start from Scratch?

    SouthernBelle85 replied to BellaGrl's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    35 is not old. People are living well into their 80s...so technically it's not even middle age. 'at that age'? Gah....she's 35 not

  12. Should Obama care be repealed?

    SouthernBelle85 replied to luv2's topic in General Nursing

    Obamacare did help me when I was working at a daycare. I had very cheap insurance and I was able to go to wellness check ups. I hurt my back picking up babies (bad body mechanics. I know better now)...

  13. Feeling stupid

    SouthernBelle85 replied to FutureBSN17's topic in General Students

    This was posted about a year ago, so I'm sure you are better at it. I watch a lot of nurses/CNAs do blood sugars or insert IVs with no gloves....and I'm like aaaah...put the gloves on! We have to do...

    SouthernBelle85 replied to TwinkTwink92's topic in LPN, LVN Students

  15. which route should I go?

    SouthernBelle85 replied to futurenurseintx's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I know here after you get your LPN and work a year then you go on the fast track and get your RN and I think for ADN it's a year and BSN is probably two years. Unless you want to go on and get your RN...

  24. "Nurse" arrested for using stolen license

    SouthernBelle85 replied to NurseQT's topic in Nursing News

    The OP explained that she wasn't able to do the basic nursing skills. A LPN/LVN can do the basic nursing skills and more. Plus LPNs can work in some hospital
