1. GRADUATED!!

   internationalsarah replied to Lmomma's topic in LPN/LVN Students

   Congratulations! I graduate in another 7 weeks and can't wait. What happens on the other end of nursing school is a little daunting though. Somehow I don't feel fully prepared for the NCLEX or work - I need to get over my nerves!!

2. Spinoff thread-A or pass

   internationalsarah replied to Gottawanna's topic in General Students

   I have been able to sustain a 4.0 for now. I have 3 pre-reqs for my RN left, and doubt very much that I will be able to get through Math with an A. I recently started the LPN class at my CC and again, am maintaining an A. I would like to think tha...

3. 2014 LPN students

   internationalsarah replied to Zalina's topic in LPN/LVN Students

   Three weeks into the program at my local CC. The first unit is the CNA class so we have been learning the basics of care and skills. Weekly exams, a class presentation and we started NA clinicals last week. Two more weeks to go before we can mock ...

4. Today's the day!

   internationalsarah posted a topic in LPN/LVN Students

   I'm off for my first day at school! Excited beyond words and fingers crossed that in 13 months I'll be an LPN. I'm a little apprehensive that I won't be able to juggle everything, so it will be interesting to see how it all works out. Wish me luck!

5. Step up from CNA to LPN...help!

   internationalsarah replied to kalengen's topic in CNA/MA

   My local community college has an LPN program, but the first 5 weeks are essentially the nursing assistant program. If you are already a CNA you don't have to enter until after the first 5 weeks.

6. 2014 LPN students

   internationalsarah replied to Zalina's topic in LPN/LVN Students

   I'm eager to get started. The first 5 weeks are CNA training, so we will only be half a class at first (CNA's get to skip the first session). Now I just need to make sure my kids have everything they need for back to school.

8. Anyone have these feelings?!?!

   Congratulations!!

9. Anyone have these feelings?!?!

   internationalsarah replied to NurseEric81's topic in NCLEX

   I don't start school until Monday, but I can imagine that having the computer shut off at 75 questions can be a huge anticlimax. You have spent years working towards this day and then suddenly it's all over. The computer decided that you either kno...

10. Good hand lotion?

    internationalsarah replied to Quark09's topic in Uniform/Gear

    I was a nail tech in a former life and swear by Creative Nail's Cucumber Heel Therapy. Not just for feet, it works well on any dry skin, elbows, hands...

11. Dansko EU/US sizing discrepancy?

    internationalsarah replied to ceebeeRN's topic in Uniform/Gear

    I can't speak specifically for Dansko's (yet), but having lived in Europe I can tell you that I am an 8 - 8.5 and consistently wear a 39/40 in Euro sizing so the fact that you found 40's too small isn't surprising. I would go with a 42.

12. A&P accelerated ?

    internationalsarah replied to w292737's topic in Pre-Nursing

    It depends on your personal situation. If you live at home, no kids, no job and can dedicate all day to studying, then go for it. I did AP1 as a 16 week class and we had quizzes every week with an exam every 4 weeks - usually covering 2-4 chapters....

13. NCLEX-My promise if I passed! Passed at 75 questions

    internationalsarah replied to sp2011's topic in NCLEX

    Congratulations! My journey is just beginning - I start my LPN course in 12 days and on to my RN from there. Can't wait for the day when I can write 'RN' after my name!

14. Traveling with school-age kids

    internationalsarah replied to delphine22's topic in Agency

    I know that you don't want to homeschool, but what about an online curriculum for your local school district? Your children won't have to suffer being the 'new kid' all year, you won't have the burden of creating a curriculum and purchasing supplies...

    I got pulled up to the July class! So excited to be starting my journey next month.
