1. What grade is "passing" in your nursing school??

   NrsintheFam replied to blessed2bfree's topic in General Students

   Man, sometimes I wish it was a 75 in my school. Ours is an 80, they don't round up on tests. But if you have a .5 (or above) they will round up to the next number on your final grade in the class.

2. How long is your LPN Program??

   NrsintheFam replied to purplefetish's topic in LPN/LVN Students

   My program is 14 months long, and I hope to graduate in December. It's a fast track program and our class times depend on the actual class. Like right now I'm doing Pharm which requires 30 hours and fundamentals II which requires 60 theory and 30 hou...

3. First week of school

   NrsintheFam replied to LovelyGraduatedNurse's topic in LPN/LVN Students

   I'm not good at studying at all, actually I hate it. It was a real struggle for me at first, but I've finally got the hang of how to study effectively and what I should focuse on when it comes to testing. When I got to fundamentals the NCLEX style qu...

8. Need inspiration.... FRUSTRATED and loosing hope

   NrsintheFam replied to avenellpn82's topic in LPN/LVN Students

   I just started, so I'm not as far as you. But my A&P class was pretty much a self taught class. All the teacher did was read from slides, when asked a question 8 times out of 10 she didn't know the answer. Was always in a rush to get the class en...

9. New Fall 09 students- want to hang with me for the next year?

   NrsintheFam replied to NuNurse<3's topic in LPN/LVN Students

   So it's only been a week for me and it was a long one. My A&P teacher moves so fast I don't think anyone in my class can keep up w/ her. I'm going to have to get a digital recorder. We've had one quiz so far (A&P) and I got an 80% anything be...

    NrsintheFam replied to KayDubb's topic in LPN/LVN Students

    I start on Mon so I can't really relate. But I'll tell your not the first and certainly won't be the last. At least you've learned what you did wrong and can go back in there and kick booty...lol. I'm sure it's hard, but try not to beat yourself up o...

12. Update on how everyone is doing in their program

    NrsintheFam replied to Christine2009's topic in LPN/LVN Students

    I had orientation this past Thursday which seemed long, drawn out and unprepared. There are a lot of students (which I'm a bit bumbed about), seems like there's over 25 (and there's not supposed to be), I'm gonna take an actual head count on Mon. The...

13. MCI Virginia Beach!!!!

    NrsintheFam replied to mom78's topic in Virginia

    I believe you take them right before the program starts, cause you have to past them before you enter the program. Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, the classes are free unless you fail them then you have to pay a $200 fee.

14. Anyone taking the TEAS recently?

    NrsintheFam replied to MSMIAMI's topic in Florida

    Don't worry yourself, the science isn't a biggie. I've stated this on here before, but I took the test not even knowing I was taking a test and new nothing about the TEAS and scored an 85, and I haven't taken a science class since HS (10yrs ago). Mos...
