1. ASN programs that take transfer credits from other nursing schools?

   ErikaMarie posted a topic in Online Learning

   I failed med surg 1, had to re-take, passed, then failed my final exam of med-surg 3 which made me fail the class the day before graduation. Since this was my 2nd strike, I was kicked out of the program. I was offered a loophole. Take the LPN program...

2. What states allow you to challenge the NCLEX-PN?

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

   Thanks y'all. I think I'm just gonna do the last semester of LPN. Not how I wanted to do this but it seems to be the quickest route to getting licensed.

3. What states allow you to challenge the NCLEX-PN?

   ErikaMarie posted a topic in LPN/LVN Students

   I am a student nurse & I've passed everything but my last class of the RN program (critical care). Because I failed this class by 2.5 points on my exam, I am unable to graduate & am being asked to take the LPN course & then re-enroll into...

4. Failed out of last 7.5 week of class before graduation

   ErikaMarie replied to ErikaMarie's topic in ADN/BSN

   I'm so upset! They said to transfer to the LPN program IN THE SAME SCHOOL, for an entire year & then we could start the LPN to RN program & would have to retake everything after Fundamentals!! That means even though I passed Med surg 1 & ...

5. Failed out of last 7.5 week of class before graduation

   ErikaMarie replied to ErikaMarie's topic in ADN/BSN

   I don't think I can challenge in the state of Maryland but I am a dual resident of WV (since I own a home there.) I'm having trouble finding information about it. Since it's Saturday, the offices aren't open & the websites are a little confusing....

   ErikaMarie posted a topic in ADN/BSN

   I just got my final test grade for Critical Care & I bombed it. I don't know how, but it's done. I cried, hyperventilated, & puked everywhere the several minutes following being sent my score 3 hours ago & have been crying on & off si...

   Should I just bring you the coffee pot?

8. Clinical Instructor and Student Nurse Relationship (have you encountered?)

   ErikaMarie replied to Lee_Uy's topic in General Students

   My clinical instructor is not liked by many people because she's infection control & people are constantly being caught doing stuff they shouldn't be doing. Personally, I love her. I went in with a light attitude & poked fun at her a little &...

9. NEED INFO: ADN school not accredited yet, ADN-BSN schools that will accept still?

   ErikaMarie replied to WhitneyLemke's topic in General Students

   I'm not sure this will help but there is a local school here that is not accredited but is turning over lots of dental assistant graduates. A friend of mine advise me that she applied for her certification after spending upwards of 15-20k for school ...

    ErikaMarie replied to ShineyNickelRN's topic in General Students

    ErikaMarie replied to Kms210's topic in General Students

13. BSN without RN

    ErikaMarie replied to jcarver1112's topic in General Students

    I'm not talking about Math 101, etc. Of course those can be done online. Anatomy & Physiology requires dissection. Microbiology requires cultures done in a lab. However, I'm referring to the nursing program itself. I looked & looked for onli...

14. The rolling backpack debate

    ErikaMarie replied to winterlights08's topic in General Students

    I totally might get a rolling suitcase! lol This load is ridiculous! I had to lug that stuff up a steep hill both ways & 1/4 mile away. Who decided to put a campus around a steep hill? lol

15. Do you make friends with others in your nursing program?

    ErikaMarie replied to EP10's topic in General Students

    I don't think you need to relate to someone to be their friend... Especially when you should be able to relate to their nursing school frustrations & excitements. I try to make friends whenever I can. You don't have to be best friends, & you ...
