Help! I can't hear it!
This! I remember once in clinicals, on a brand-spankin-new baby I had to use the nurse's pediatric stethoscope to listen to a pulse. I was freaking out inside because I couldn't hear ANYTHING! Turns out, I had them in my ears the wrong way as Ali has stated. I haven't' done that mistake again!

living situation while in nursing school
If I had the chance to live at home at 21, not work, and focus on nursing school I'd snatch up the opportunity in a second! Working to support yourself(full time) all while going through school(full time) will be a huge burden. You are still young, and you will still be young when you finish school. Stay at home and focus on school, you are so lucky to have that opportunity!

Most off the wall complaint
I've had a student come in several times this year to get his ears checked because he is convinced that a spider-beetle hybrid crawled in while he was sleeping.

Working for Dept. of Veteran Affairs as an LPN/LVN
Hello! I will answer this is best I can, and will answer it assuming you are talking about State employment and not Federal, since the two are often confused. 1. Yes! They hire new grads. 2. Call back time depends if there is an open position, what the end of the filing date is (last date to turn in an application,) and how many applicants. Scores from the skills assessment test (mandatory assessment to be completed before applying) are considered too, the higher the better. (depends on how much experience you have, being a new grad you will not have much experience, meaning a lower score.) 3. In my experience those classes won't make a huge difference, your skills assessment score will matter more. 4. Since you posted this on the 18th I'm assuming you have already made that drive. Hope this helps! Dept. of Veterans Affairs was the best organization I've ever worked for, good luck to you!
