1. GPA for Butler Community College

   ksrnstudent replied to mifligirl's topic in Kansas

   The GPA isn't the only thing BCC looks at. They also look at the entrance test scores as well. I know that the LPN's who came into my class had pretty high GPAs (3.6 and above from what I heard). I would say give the nursing department a call and ask...

8. anybody in the KC area taking the NET?!

   ksrnstudent replied to hisrib's topic in Missouri

   Yes, it is very much like 8th grade math. I'm not joking! No word problems at all. You will see math problems where you need to add decimals together such as 123.45 + 6.789. You will need to know percentages such as 25 is what % of 145, etc. The only...

   ksrnstudent replied to hisrib's topic in Missouri

   I took the NET test a couple of years ago. The math is really easy. It is decimals, fractions, percentages, addition, and very basic algebra. I bought a book at my college's bookstore to help me prepare. Don't get hung up on the algebra. There are on...

    ksrnstudent replied to ksrnstudent's topic in General Nursing

    I just got back from talking to the director. She is a very sweet woman! She gave me a hug and told me that everything was fine. She read the incident report and talked to the RN on duty that night. She has recommended that I stay on orientation for ...

14. Ethical question...what would you do?

    ksrnstudent replied to ksrnstudent's topic in General Nursing

    You are a little thick! She has done it MORE THAN ONCE! My error was a mistake; the other LPN did it intentionally. You don't simply make an error by putting your hand into a patient's drawer, taking out a medication, and popping it into you mouth an...
