1. Need help with direction for dx

   JackieHouse replied to JackieHouse's topic in General Nursing

   I am not specifically looking for a dx, I realize I can’t go online and get that, I’m looking for anything, anything at all to help with finding some sliver of anything we haven’t tried or looked at or didn’t see. A hint of who to see next. What have...

2. Need help with direction for dx

   JackieHouse posted a topic in General Nursing

   I have searched for years to try and help, but it is getting so bad now I have nowhere else to turn. I hope someone can push me in the right direction. This involves my spouse and I do have his permission to post. Case follows: 41y/o male presenting...

3. Discourteous Fellow Student

   JackieHouse posted a topic in General Students

   I'm looking for advice-good, bad, and ugly. I started a PN program last year and we've been in clinicals since Feb. I befriended another student the first few days of the school year and although we're still what I would consider friends, we're not ...

6. Happy Dance-LPN Program

   JackieHouse replied to JackieHouse's topic in LPN/LVN Students

   So we're seniors now! It's been a few weeks more and we're all starting to feel the burnout, even myself-who was amped up fully at the first part of this school year. We can't do much more than the CNA's can (sometimes not even that much), and the re...

   JackieHouse replied to JackieHouse's topic in LPN/LVN Students

   Thought I'd post an update though it has been a few months. We have been through a few more segments and are now in the LPN section of the program (the previous sections were basic hc worker). We gained a few students, lost a few more. We're on sprin...

   Yay! Congrats! It's definitely been a challenge but it will be worth it! Good luck to you too!! We lost another student this week. I really have no idea what went on, but after some snide remarks to the professor in the classroom, she gathered her b...

9. Happy Dance-LPN Program

   JackieHouse replied to JackieHouse's topic in LPN/LVN Students

   It's terrifying, tbh. You HAVE to stay on your game, class is from 7:30-2:10 (will go to 2:25 in Jan 17), and we spend about 3-4 hours after class lets out working on reading the chapters, doing objectives and workbooks, and going over rationales to ...

    I did! I got into all three, Chipola's letter was received about a week after I heard back from Haney. Gulf Coast called me for an alternate position, but I had already accepted at Haney and politely declined.

    It was absolutely brutal. Orientation is Nov 10th, class start is Nov 14th. I'm going down this morning to register for classes.

12. Happy Dance-LPN Program

    JackieHouse replied to JackieHouse's topic in LPN/LVN Students

    Yes! I've been told to be prepared. This one is a 46 week course, 5 days/week. It moves very fast, after 3 months we start clinicals x3 days/wk. I read the letter describing what we are supposed to do before starting and on the first day and I'm fini...

    JackieHouse posted a topic in LPN/LVN Students

    I enjoy reading everyone's topics and debates and thought I'd add my little two cents in. I applied to TWO RN colleges and an LPN college and was accepted to all three! I will be starting as an LPN first (financial reasons, LPN school will essentiall...

14. Feeling blackballed out of RN program

    JackieHouse replied to JackieHouse's topic in Pre-Nursing

    All of your advice is spot on. I'm tough, just frustrated. Fortunately I'm hardheaded and persistent enough that I'm not going to quit, just look for more silver linings. I will wait till October for the next round of selections, in the meantime I am...

15. Feeling blackballed out of RN program

    JackieHouse posted a topic in Pre-Nursing

    This is a bit of a story, and I'll try to keep names out of it. I decided to go back to nursing school after setting down my pride and realizing I was not going to make it in engineering....around last summer. I have a degree in Legal Studies (A.S...
