   stasis_DC5 replied to SamanthaHope85's topic in California

   this is exactly the reason why i gave up on graphic design/animation and got into nursing but now i'm also having the same problem finding a job. just like graphic design/animation, there isn't a single place that will hire an lvn without experience....

   stasis_DC5 replied to AnalegnaRN's topic in NCLEX

   i just took mine over an hour ago. i must say that it started out easy but then it got challenging. the only thing that worries me though is that i got stopped right after a question that i most likely got wrong. now, i'm wondering if that was a bad ...

7. Should a nursing instructor tell a student they are not nursing material.

   stasis_DC5 replied to motivated2nurse's topic in General Students

   yes, it is wrong. as someone previously mention, take it to one of the higher ups. the nursing instructor has no right to say such a thing nor does he/she have the right to pass judgment like that. so, take it to the higher ups and have them handle h...

8. I tried so hard.

   stasis_DC5 replied to whiteoleander5's topic in General Students

   relax. this happens to me too. it's just like how a classmate of mine gets a higher grade than me when he and i both know that i know more than he does. sometimes it's just that particular test or a particular question/questions. from the looks of it...

   stasis_DC5 replied to countrymommy's topic in LPN/LVN Students

   i agree with this. this site will help. with regards to your mom, just keep doing what you're doing. sometimes it just takes some time to retain new information. especially if it's a good amount of info.

11. Are newgrad nurses underpaid?

    stasis_DC5 replied to ZanatuBelmont's topic in LPN/LVN Students

    i think the pay scales are fine the way they are except that hospitals need to pay lpn/lvn's more like how nursing homes do. that and i think that cna's need to be paid a little more than what they're getting right now 'cause i've seen all the things...

    stasis_DC5 replied to tnlpn8's topic in LPN/LVN Students

    if you got the books that they gave you already, then maybe you should you look at the syllabus and read ahead. otherwise, if you ain't got nothin' then i really don't think you need to read anything. seriously, i didn't know anything about health ca...

13. Medical Surgical Nursing

    stasis_DC5 replied to believeallispossible's topic in LPN/LVN Students

    when you read, don't read as if you're just reading the words. you gotta read and understand what you're reading. so, just read and re-read until you understand i guess.

15. Concorde vs. American Career College

    stasis_DC5 replied to joliemolie's topic in LPN/LVN Students

    -_- that's me...it sucks! finally we have a hospital to go to but we just finished maternal nursing, and we had no place to experience any of that for clinicals 'cause the hospital did not have a maternal unit. i also agree with you on that first bol...
