1. Calculator not permitted?!

   Finallyy replied to Finallyy's topic in General Students

   Your sarcasm is appreciated. I was given a prognosis and I obviously beat it or I wouldn't be sitting here today. If I ever make it far enough to become a nurse, I'll actually have some compassion too.

2. Calculator not permitted?!

   Finallyy replied to Finallyy's topic in General Students

   I think it would take more time to do it on paper than with a calculator. But I'm not disagreeing, a calculator won't always be around. I am just hoping no one expects me to do this crap in my head. As far as math help, currently I'm enrolled in a co...

   Lachrymologist - you can relate to me because most people out there are like you and I. I went to the doctor's office the other day, and talked a lot with the LPN. She told me she is terrible at math, this was as she was taking my weight and reading ...

4. Calculator not permitted?!

   Finallyy replied to Finallyy's topic in General Students

   Well everyone... I'll be honest here. I can't divide to save my life. I've had tutors in high school and whatnot, I just cannot divide. I also could never simplify fractions. I would get taught how to do it,and once I was done being taught, I would ...

5. Calculator not permitted?!

   Finallyy replied to Finallyy's topic in General Students

   Well I usually make littly tiny errors with division and whatnot without a calculator. Now that I know I can't use one........ What type of math is involved in the dosage calculations that would possibly require the aide of a calculator? I mean....is...

6. Calculator not permitted?!

   The school I'm going to doesn't allow its students to use calculators for dosage calculations. This scares me. are dosage calculations possible, and comprehensible without calculators?

   In Hospitals? Specialty clinics? How far away did you have to drive? If it was in hospitals - what department?

10. Does LPN school effectively prepare you for the NCLEX-Pn?

    Finallyy posted a topic in General Nursing

    Ok gang, I just came back from a bookstore and was reading some prepatory books for the NCLEX-PN and I read some of the sample questions and guessed every single one of them WRONG. Granted, I haven't even started LPN school yet - but hopefully you do...

    Hi everyone - I'm still here.... Thank you all for the comments, I need all the help I can get.... I'm still going through with it. I have heard so many great things about it that all these bad things I'm hearing aren't making any sense to me. I'm co...

    Finallyy replied to Finallyy's topic in General Nursing

    From what I have been hearing, LPN school is almost like bootcamp. Is this true? Is it the bookwork that's so hard, or the clinical? My friend said both. I almost felt as if she were jealous that I was considering such a profession. She insisted it w...

    Finallyy replied to Finallyy's topic in General Nursing

    I agree. She made me feel terrible. She also told me that most of the math will be fractions - fractions are my weakest area of math. I'm just so insecure now. Any advice from anyone is really appreciated....

    I'm on my way to beginning LPN school at my local vo-tech. I was excited about it and confident in myself because I grew up with a terminal illness that familiarized me with the medical field. I'm great at terminology, familar with procedures, know w...
