1. I'm going to nursing school-That's nice, DO YOUR JOB

   futurenurse0115 replied to BrazoriaLVN's topic in General Nursing

   That seemed slightly unnecessary and uncalled for... I've seen nurses who don't do much of anything too!

2. Adrenaline? How to keep it in check?

   futurenurse0115 replied to MammaNurse2Be's topic in General Students

   I just started school a few months ago but in my experience with school, CNA work and having events like this happen to me, I don't think it's really possible to control adrenaline. It's a natural occuring thing which we have no control over! (Learne...

   My program is 14 months so just a little over three semesters. We have 2 classes a "term" (5 weeks) and around 4 terms a semester. Thats how all the nursing programs (LPN and RN) arrange their classes in my area.

   I finished my first term (5 weeks) of the PN program with a 4.0!! I am loving school and so happy to be there! It is a lot of work and stress but I wouldn't trade it for anything! Just had to share my happy news :redbeathe:up:

6. What if I pretend not to be an LPN to get into school?

   futurenurse0115 replied to amari's topic in LPN/LVN

   I don't think it should matter that your an LPN. At the Community College near me which is based on "points" (grades, work experience ect.) you actually get more points to help you get into the program because your an LPN. Good Luck!

7. Can a LVN draw blood without a blood withdrawal cert?

   futurenurse0115 replied to Elleveein's topic in LPN/LVN

   Where I live (SC) you usually learn to draw blood in school or the employer trains you on the job so you can do it without a certification, but you have to have a certification for IVs. So you being a previous Medical Assistant I would think you woul...

   futurenurse0115 replied to JamesJr.'s topic in General Nursing

    futurenurse0115 replied to futurenurse0115's topic in South Carolina

    I agree that it is pricey, but the Community College here and in the surrounding area all stopped their LPN programs, so this is the only one with in an 1 1/2 hours of me! And I agree with the above poster, I need my LPN asap, not in 3 or 4 years. I ...
