   I want to thank you for this post. As a current LVN student who just started 2nd semester out of 3...and whose husband who has just (about 2 hours ago) dropped the bombshell that he feels the need to "be selfish" and no longer is in love with me and ...

5. NCLEX PN Review Help!! I keep failing

   ejm99 replied to pass2011's topic in NCLEX

   I'm in LVN school now but I would think it would be really difficult to pass the NCLEX 5 yrs after you finished class. I had a difficult time just remembering everything we learned before the 4 wk holiday break! There is no way I would trust myself t...

6. I messed up really bad need help

   ejm99 replied to ReDefinedMix's topic in NCLEX

   I don't want to beat you up...I know you feel bad enough BUT.... If you REALLY want to be a nurse then you need to pull it together. The fact your appt slipped your mind ( ????) totally baffles me. You are not magically going to pass...you need to st...

7. Help paying for the lvn program

   ejm99 replied to ariana ruiz-ortega's topic in LPN/LVN Students

   I agree that you should finish your CNA before applying. Honestly you need to be studying for your enterence exam WAYYYYYYYY before applying because that's a major factor in whether you'll be accepted. You can apply for Fin Aid I think. Go talk to t...

8. Having 2nd thoughts I think....

   ejm99 replied to pyt86's topic in LPN/LVN Students

   You don't have to LOVE clinicals. Many of us don't. Not every rotation will appeal to you and some will be heartbreaking (we are about to work at a LTC children's 'home' so I'm gearing myself emotionally)....but as hard as it will be I know that this...

    ejm99 replied to HorologyGirl's topic in LPN/LVN Students

    Trust me...do not become "THAT Girl". Not only will the instructor be annoyed by you...so will your classmates. I'm going to point something out to you, please don't be offended that isn't my intention but do think about what I'm going to say.... ...

11. Venting, and Thinking that this is getting a little ridiculous.

    ejm99 replied to alwayschanging's topic in LPN/LVN Students

    Dude! That is WAY crazy! I agree w/ the others...my self preservation instinct would probably be kicking in about now and I'd very much want to ask WHY such a comment is considered to be offensive? I don't think it was at all. Not even a little bit ...

12. Hesi Exit Exam-RN exit exam

    ejm99 replied to MaresRN2B's topic in New Nurse

    In my LVN program we are required to take the Hesi Exit exam as well. We were told it's an excellent predictor of how we will do on the NCLEX but my instructor said that most people who have taken both tell her that the Hesi is actually harder than t...

13. I'm really depress, mad and confused..

    ejm99 replied to Datu's topic in General Students

    I think there is still a demand for Nurses...RN's in particular. It's harder to get in a hospital as a LVN here in Houston...but you can go to a stepdown hospital or specialty hospital...first..then in a bigger hospital. But I think the problem is th...

    ejm99 replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Students

    2nd semester LVN student...will finish in August. I was prepared....to a point. The first semester really flew by. I feel bad because I feel like I do neglect my kids and husband but at the same time...my kids aren't little anymore and this really is...
