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

   LOL Thanks! Buckeye Hills Career Center in Southwest Ohio. It is a very hard program. We lost about 15 in all throughout the year. Most of which the first quarter. They have like a 99% passing rate on boards though, so I'm content with that!

6. 1st day of class

   itsbuzzy replied to okscrapper's topic in LPN/LVN Students

   Yeah. One day at a time is the best way to do it. We lost 16 out of our original 49 so far. I graduate in 12 days. It has been a rough ride. You basically say BYE to everyone and everything you love and just focus on nursing. Keep your up and focus o...

   itsbuzzy replied to butterfly78's topic in LPN/LVN Students

   Basically what our instructors have taught us is, more then likely all of the dosage calc for IV's and what not will already be set up or done by the machine. They just teach us incase something happens to where we have to figure it out. We were allo...

12. How to Pass Anatony (AP)

    itsbuzzy replied to Lorrie1964's topic in LPN/LVN Students

    The way I remembered was making up little songs and sayings. The sad part is, the cruder, shocking, and most perverted thing I could come up with stuck the best. Everyday I would get to class and everyone would ask me how to remember.

14. What do ment think of NS?

    itsbuzzy replied to Guest717002's topic in Male Students

    I agree with nightwolf. It's not really all that hard it just requires you to pay alot of attention. Your life outside of school is basically over for that 12months, or however long your program is. In the end, it is worth it, but it sucks in the mea...
