   NurseGrape3000 replied to HeatherMax's topic in General Students

   Hey all. My fiance is at Ft Campbell, and I will be waiting til we PCS next year before starting my Rn-BSN program. I am figuring it will be about 2 years and am definitely planning on doing it all in one spot! I am finishing Excelsior's ADN program ...

2. How long did you study for the CPNE?

   NurseGrape3000 replied to natnat122's topic in Excelsior

   I am hoping to have a CPNE date by the end of the year, which will give me about 4 months to study. Depending on my work schedule, I will be able to put in 2-8 hours per day. That is a big difference, but I commute to work 12 hr nights.. so those day...

3. Can i be a mother/baby nurse if I have never had kids?

   NurseGrape3000 replied to studentnurse9806's topic in Ob/Gyn

   I would think that like TheCommuter says having kids would only enhance your practice, but you are well-trained for the job. :) If you are deeply drawn to the field, your practice will also be enhanced... go for it!

   NurseGrape3000 replied to MilliePieRN's topic in General Students

   Oh funny, I am starting pre-reqs this fall at Nashville State; we are also homeschoolers (3 and 6 yo boys); and me going back to school was also a dream turned necessity - my husband will have to work/live out of town unless I can finish school and g...

9. The Journey of Death

   NurseGrape3000 replied to cav5's topic in Spirituality

   I too, am very comfortable with death, and don't find many others who feel the same way. Thank-you. I've never been much exposed to/considered hospice nursing..going to look into it. :)

    NurseGrape3000 replied to Mrsearly2009's topic in Geriatric

    Congrats on the new job! My first day as an LPN in LTC... biggest help: note pad, resident list/report sheet, drug book, list of phone numbers. The biggest problem I ran into, was leaving enough time to chart at the end of shift. Making notes and kee...

    Love those! The guy who does the Podmedic also does other podcasts too - they're all great, free, and on iTunes. :)

13. LPNs? What do they do? Where can they work? Difference between LPN vs RN?

    NurseGrape3000 replied to TheCommuter's topic in LPN/LVN

    Ditto! We had plenty of floor time and opportunity in our 2-year RPN program as well. I was not nervous over using my skills. SKILLZ! lol

14. A&P -fall

    NurseGrape3000 replied to travl_well's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I agree with the above folks too. It's a lot of info, but the concepts are not difficult. Just a lot to memorize. So, I would start memorizing! I tutored the course to LPN students and I found the following helped: start basic. Look at major systems...

15. College Algebra

    NurseGrape3000 replied to Mama_Cashew's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I'm going to do it in a full semester as well (this fall). I haven't done math in a while and I thought doing it alone over the summer would help, but the shorter timeframe makes me nervous... good luck! :)
