LVN student of graduating class of 2011! I plan to pursue an RN-MSN degree in hopes to be working in neonatal-maternal nursing. A wonderful woman, teacher, and nurse once said, "These aren't hamburger patties. They're lives!"

  5. nasal then oral suctioning

    Hello! Yes, we were taught to first suction the nasal passage and then the oral. It's true that when a patient is having difficulty, it pretty much doesn't matter. Just get them breathing! Anyways, I did find it kind of strange that you would do the ...
  6. Has anyone here gotten into nursing school with a 'B' in Anatomy?

  10. Taking A & P I again...any advice?

    Hello! I'm one that had to repeat A&P I twice due to unsatisfactory grades in both lecture and lab. The trick that worked best for me? I had to review notes twice a day, everyday. I realize that more class time means more notes to study, but as ...
  11. I'm going to college for nursing. Should i get my CNA?
