2. Completely Unhappy With The School I Chose

   Star33 replied to Star33's topic in LPN/LVN Students

   Thank you everyone for feeling my pain. BUT I am so disappointed to know that this is the norm. This is not a good thing. I understand we have to be responsible and read before class and study the material over, but we should not have to self teach k...

5. Completely Unhappy With The School I Chose

   Star33 replied to Star33's topic in LPN/LVN Students

   That is exactly why I am venting. If it seems a lot of people have the same complaints, I will know it's not just the school I chose. But I am very unhappy and cannot wait to move on from here. 12 months to go...

6. Completely Unhappy With The School I Chose

   Star33 posted a topic in LPN/LVN Students

   What can I do? I am completely unhappy with the school I am attending for the LPN program. They are very disorganized, unprepared for lectures, don't prepare us well for clinical, change to course outline a week before a test! Expect us to self teach...

   Star33 replied to juicylucy's topic in New Jersey

   I am also paying 17 something. I am sure by now it is closer to 20K. I am not sure when a new module begins. Did you talk to anyone in admissions? They will certainly help you out. You have to take an entrance exam too...

8. How do you handle all 'other' responsibilites while in nursing school??

   Star33 replied to midnight*sky's topic in LPN/LVN Students

   I too have 1 year old twins plus a 3 year old toddler. I go to school at night though so, when my husband takes over with the kids, it's usually just dinner and then bed time. Anyway, the most important thing is that you have help and a great support...

   What else is near by? I am tired of the same old BK and McyD's... Do you attend during the day? Celi, my name is not Star, just my user name :) If I could figure out how to send you a private message I would tell you. I like to remain somewhat anonym...

10. Care Planning Question

    Star33 replied to Star33's topic in LPN/LVN Students

    Thank you for your response. So, to be clear is this wrong: Risk for injury r/t seizure disorder? This is my first one and I am trying to 'get it down.' I have picked a few nursing diagnoses to work with, but I feel like they are dead ends. Like what...

11. Myclassmate is SO irritating!! Ugh!

    Star33 replied to midnight*sky's topic in LPN/LVN Students

    Yes, and to think you can't get away from them!! AHHH! We are stuck with each other till the end. Everyone wants to know everyone's grades in my class too. I hate it, I get good grades too, but that doesn't mean I want to share it with you! Some peo...

    Star33 replied to juicylucy's topic in New Jersey

    If I could start over, I would just go do the 2 year RN program. I chose the evening course and it's a year and a half. Plus, with the pregnancy I will have to take time off and I will fall behind. So, hind sight is 20/20 right? Anyway, I like the sc...

13. Care Planning Question

    Star33 posted a topic in LPN/LVN Students

    I have a question about care planning... the 'related to' part of the diagnosis statement, can it relate to a medical diagnosis the Dr. made even if I do not observe any symptoms? I have to write and actual and a risk for. I'm thinking I can use it i...

    Star33 replied to juicylucy's topic in New Jersey

    As a current student, I heard you had to work as an LPN for a year before they will accept you into the RN bridge program. Also, when you come out you will only have an associates degree. Personally, for me, when I am finished at Eastwick I am going ...

15. Just Started School & Pregnant

    Star33 posted a topic in Student Assist

    I just started an LPN program last week and found out (unexpectedly) that I am pregnant with my 4th child! I know I can make it through the program because I WANT to. My question is do I have to notify the school? Or is it not really that important? ...
