1. Struggling: Anatomy & Physiology

   LilstrideRN replied to ibree's topic in Student Assist

   Looks like you have some great advice here! I found a great little website called purposegames.com . I was able to make games out of information I was required to memorize (Bones, muscles, veins, arteries) By the time I made the game, I didn't even n...

3. ADN online?

   LilstrideRN replied to lpnmommy86's topic in Online Learning

   I have a coworker who did the LPN to RN bridge through Excelsior, she said it was a nightmare. Although she is now an RN, so it is doable! We live in Washington State, she said there were a lot of loopholes to maneuver to register for the NCLEX and g...

5. Week 11 of orientation... Lack of confidence :(

   LilstrideRN replied to KJRNBSN29's topic in Ob/Gyn

   I hope last week ended well for you! I am in week 10 of my 12 week orientation, and I feel the same way you do. I am so worried that I am not going to be ready to be on my own the second week of Feb. Twelve weeks just doesn't seem long enough. I...

7. Am I Too Old to Start School?

   LilstrideRN replied to michelegie's topic in General Students

   I returned to school at 43 with the same plan you have. However, I didn't get accepted to the LPN program my first try (thank goodness!). I took the year (that is what it takes to get into a program where I live) and worked on the rest of my BSN re...

8. when to give up trying to pass

   LilstrideRN replied to avidhunter3's topic in LPN/LVN

   I get awful test anxiety too! I truly feel for your husband. I like the hypnotherapy idea, I wish I had thought of that!! Money doesn't grow on trees, so every program you try and ever test he takes must be financially draining... I didn't want to ...

9. How many questions did you pass the NCLEX with?

   LilstrideRN replied to shanell85's topic in NCLEX

   78 questions in an hour. I thought I failed, but I passed. I will give a shout out to UWORLD. I really felt like they prepared me the most for the NCLEX. My best friend took the State Boards many years ago when it was a 2 day affair, with 1000 que...

10. HOW do people do well in Anatomy & P?

    LilstrideRN replied to Upward_Bound's topic in General Students

    I didn't read all of the other posts so I don't know if anyone else has written this answer. When I was taking A & P I found a sweet website called purposegames.com. I was able to cut and paste pictures of bones and muscle groups and make quizze...

11. As a new nurse (ASN), age 56, is it worth it to get BSN??

    LilstrideRN replied to Hazel1959's topic in Career Support

    No real advice, but I feel your pain. I am watching my cohort get interviews and residencies and I don't even get a call. I am seriously wondering if it is because of my age (46). The people I am seeing getting jobs are no older than their mid 30'...

12. Has anyone accepted a residency while attending WGU online?

    LilstrideRN replied to LilstrideRN's topic in Western Governors

    My enrollment counselor for WGU told me I could be working as a CNA, as long as I was working in the healthcare field, using nursing skills and that many people are working in home healthcare as CNA's. Is that not true? I have already been accepted...

13. Has anyone accepted a residency while attending WGU online?

    LilstrideRN posted a topic in Western Governors

    I am considering enrolling in WGU's RN to BSN program. From what I understand, you must be working in a nursing related field for 20 or more hours per week in order to be eligible for enrollment. I am currently working 30 hours a MONTH as an Indepe...

    I am so glad I ran into your thread, I signed up just so I could reply. First of all, congratulations! Was USF your only choice, or did you apply to others? I am a new grad and just took the NCLEX last week, glad that is over! Because of my age (4...
