   runsondunkin replied to Dragonfly1919's topic in LPN/LVN Students

   Buy it...I don't know about you but mine has so many useful things in it that I am sure I will reference down the road. Just today when studying I saw a spanish/english translation guide in mine to help you learn basic phrases to assist a patient wh...

2. To Buy or Rent.. That is the question!

   runsondunkin replied to star2010's topic in LPN/LVN Students

   I like owning my books because when we go over the text in class, I hi-light specific point the professor makes. I find when they stress a point in the book, it is typically on the exam.

   runsondunkin replied to Gottafro8's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I get bored quickly with constant reading...so I try and switch it up a bit. I used Khan Academy for A&P and brushing up on my math skills so I could kick pharm math's butt! They use videos but they are not boring, they are set up just as if the ...

7. Letter of recommendation

   runsondunkin replied to d00d00butter's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I suggest when they write the letter, before signing it have several copies print and have them sign a few. I made back up's of my LOR's just in case I didn't get into the program I applied to. Even if you don't use them all, it's very nice to read t...
