1. Fat Lpn Student

   Jessshue replied to MerrieCNA's topic in LPN/LVN Students

   Sometimes people suck! Just keep reminding yourself that she is just a bump in your road to success and don't let her, or any of the other students, knock you off your path. Even though I know it feels like everyone may be looking down on you, just...

2. Has anyone heard of LPN TEAS Entry Exam

   Jessshue replied to Erika_Kane's topic in LPN/LVN Students

   I took the TEAS and I bought the manual for $20 on ebay. It was a really nice brush up course for me (since I had been out of school for a while). The test is VERY similiar to the ACT in my opinion, with more emphasis on the sciences. I mostly jus...

3. Iowa Western Community College vs. Metro Community College

   Jessshue replied to CNAcollegestudent's topic in Nebraska

   I know of a couple people who are going through Iowa Western and like it. In my opinion, we all take the same boards, so as long as you can pass, the school doesn't matter. I think the reason Metro has such a high pass rate is because they basicall...

4. how many non-traditional students are here?

   Jessshue replied to LolaBunnie's topic in LPN/LVN Students

   DarkRainyDays, I completely agree. The thing that actually finally gave me that final push to go into nursing was having my son (my 2nd child). The nurses were amazing, and even through the contractions all I wanted to do was talk to them about the...

   No problem-if you have any other questions, just ask!! :)

6. how many non-traditional students are here?

   Jessshue replied to LolaBunnie's topic in LPN/LVN Students

   I am also a non-traditional student taking the same path as you are (I just started the LPN program about 1.5 mos. ago, been doing prereqs for the last 6 mos). I'm 28, married, with a 1.5 and a 3 year old. No, you aren't too old. Think about it th...

7. Iowa Western Community College vs. Metro Community College

   Jessshue replied to CNAcollegestudent's topic in Nebraska

   I know about small towns, I'm from one of 2000 people, so going deep into Omaha is way out of my "safe zone"! I took my CNA through Metro. I did it on the weekend-it took 5 weekends, both Sat and Sun from 8-5. That way I was able to continue worki...

   YESI05, where are you taking A&PII online? Is it through IWCC? Thanks!

9. Iowa Western Community College vs. Metro Community College

   Jessshue replied to CNAcollegestudent's topic in Nebraska

   The chances of getting in without A&P are very poor-those 4 extra points weigh very heavy for getting in to the program. Metro doesn't waitlist anymore. I got my acceptance letter the last week of December, so I woas only accepted 4 mos. ago. S...

10. Iowa Western Community College vs. Metro Community College

    Jessshue replied to CNAcollegestudent's topic in Nebraska

    A & P I & II is not a core requirement to get in. It gives you 2 extra points per class toward your total points to get in. I scored really high on the TEAS test and had straight a's, so I got in without needing the 4 extra points. They ac...

11. Iowa Western Community College vs. Metro Community College

    Jessshue replied to CNAcollegestudent's topic in Nebraska

    I'm a current student in the LPN program at Metro. I got in without having A & P I or II. I managed to take A&P I the quarter before the LPN program, and thank God because it is intense in the program!!! I was going to try to take Human Re...

12. Help I'm taking A&P1 during the Summer!!!

    Jessshue replied to ccjus123's topic in Student Assist

    I bought Barron's Anatomy Flash cards at Barnes and Noble. They were really good for helping me learn the skeletal system and the muscles (they also have all the other body systems, but we don't go over those until A & P II). I'm also a big not...

13. Help please!! TEAS TEST.

    Jessshue replied to indiangirl22's topic in LPN-RN

    I bought the TEAS book on e-bay for $20 and it was worth every penny. It was a great review for me, because I have been out of school for 8 years, so I was a little rusty. With the help from the book, I was able to get one of the highest scores to ...

14. Know of a good Nursing Care Plan book and stethoscope?

    Jessshue posted a topic in LPN/LVN Students

    Hi all- I'm new to this site and I was wondering if you could help me out a bit. I purchased the Nursing Care Plan book my school suggested to us, but I don't think I like it. The info is very spread out and kind of hard to piece together. Do any ...

15. Completely Unhappy With The School I Chose

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

    I feel your pain!!! I swear my fellow students and I just had this discussion the other day. It is sooo frustrating; I come prepared to class, shouldn't they? Oh yeah, and if I have to hear the words, "look that up on your own because that is testa...
