1. LPN is attainable w/out Experience?

   pinxbinx replied to Tree2144's topic in LPN/LVN Students

   I have no experience and I'm doing better than some that have more experience and/or schooling in some classes. When it comes to clinicals next quarter, I can tell you if the same holds true. In Intro to Health though, we are doing medical skills a...

2. should I cut my hair?

   pinxbinx replied to picurn10's topic in LPN/LVN Students

   We have to have short hair or pulled up hair. Short hair is faster to fix, but requires more work in my experience. That is of course if you actually blow dry it and fix it up. I'm growing mine out and I figured out that if I comb it up in a clip ...

   Thanks. My head is going to explode. I had a book to read in one class tonight, plus 3 assignments. I have to learn some formulas for drug calculation practically overnight. I have 3 chapters to read tonight in A&P, plus multiple message board...

   I start class today. I took one quarter off. The quarter before I was in the surgical tech program but still had a few classes to take and several quarters before they started the next program. So, I took one class that quarter, medical terminolog...

5. Is it enough?

   pinxbinx replied to ladynurse1's topic in LPN/LVN Students

   Oh, yeah, then the scores are high enough for your school, but you are right, that doesn't mean you are in. You have to complete the application and then the slots are filled up however you college does it. At ours, it goes by test scores (NET and ...

6. Is it enough?

   pinxbinx replied to ladynurse1's topic in LPN/LVN Students

   dark_light is right. The school should tell you what scores are acceptable for the program. Mine tells you immediately after taking it if you scored high enough. After that, you go straight to admissions and get your application packet or get plac...

   They do a special capping ceremony midway through. It is a very big thing supposedly. I'm not excited actually, lol.

9. lpn intrance exam?

   pinxbinx replied to helpinghands07's topic in LPN/LVN Students

   After seeing other responses, I felt that I should add that I took the last part of the NET, I believe. They called it an aptitude test.

10. lpn intrance exam?

    pinxbinx replied to helpinghands07's topic in LPN/LVN Students

    i'm just curious on your opinion on that. i feel like i aced my interview since i got smiles from the ladies interviewing me and they told me that was a good response and that was my answer to that question. i told them in a failing economy, i want...

11. lpn intrance exam?

    pinxbinx replied to helpinghands07's topic in LPN/LVN Students

    The one we had to take asked which response was best in each situation. It said that you may not agree with any answers, but still pick the best one. It was really easy. I didn't have to take the math or anything because you can exempt that part a...

12. Hello i need some homework help.

    pinxbinx replied to lopet19's topic in LPN/LVN Students

    1. Why did you choose to be a nurse? With the way the economy is, I needed a career that I know there is a future in. I also wanted a career that I could further my education in. 2.What school did you attend and why? I'm attending a technical colleg...

    pinxbinx replied to Brookenicole84's topic in LPN/LVN Students

    My advice would be to try studying a different way. I'm not sure what approach you are using now.

14. Had A Bad Interview, Scared I Might Not Get In the Program

    pinxbinx replied to Steph26's topic in LPN/LVN Students

    We had to have a lot of stuff done for the application that was really expensive and if not, we didn't get to interview or get accepted. I don't think that part was rude or obnoxious. If they cannot count on you to get your paperwork in on time, wh...

15. What was your interview like?

    pinxbinx replied to cancergirl24's topic in LPN/LVN Students

    To get into the program? I was told to sit at the front of the classroom and I had two of the nursing instructors interview me. I usually stumble through interviews, but I really wanted this and did just find. I was asked why I chose nursing and am...
