2. The aftermath of complaining about mistreatment

   HeiseC replied to eelise11's topic in LPN/LVN Students

   honestly, keep your ducks all in a row. if you are targeted and kicked out, at least you can say that what ever it may be, isn't true. Life happens. we can't push pause for a year or less and press play when we want to. Stand your ground and believe ...

3. How do you study?

   HeiseC posted a topic in LPN/LVN Students

   I'm curious how other's study. I never really had a plan of action, so i'm really being tested with my skills. I study by making a neat outline from my book, my pulse pen, and the powerpoints in instructor uses. I highlight my book using two colors. ...

   my instructor gave us the first two weeks, so we knew what to expect. try to stay ahead as much as possible. I though i had highlighted a chapter and to my suprise, it was highlighter free! my heart sank, but no more! (I'm taking a study break to eat...

   HeiseC replied to DelleBrock's topic in New York

   I don't know how it is in your neck of the woods but in mine, CNA exam is what is called "challenge the state". If you know the material's, the skills and can pass the test, then you will get your certification. That was what I heard, but I don't kn...

7. The Last Minute Shuffle!

   HeiseC replied to HeiseC's topic in LPN/LVN Students

   I agree. I actually worked some things out, so that it won't hurt me so bad. I agree with your statement about we bleed a little for our dreams. I've lost more than just blood during this whole year. I'm a ADN student drop out, who didn't realize tha...

8. The Last Minute Shuffle!

   HeiseC posted a topic in LPN/LVN Students

   Has anyone felt like me? I'm paying for my schooling out of pocket, and I still have to find uniforms in my size, complete my physical, and wait for my kit, name tag and previously ordered uniforms to come in. This is my shuffle. Friday morning, I w...

9. How should I study during nursing school??

   HeiseC replied to STU4ADN's topic in General Students

   For me, I record my teacher (with her permission of course) and I review my notes and books. I can slow down her lectures so that my brain can process the information. You may want to find out what kind of learner you are, I'm visaul and auditory lea...

10. Are all nursing schools really competitive to get into?

    HeiseC replied to kelkel587's topic in General Students

    With my school, I thought I'd never get in. I had a low GPA, and some of my grades were above a C+, but still made me feel unsatisfactory. (I had mainly B's rarely A's in the pre-req's). When I got the letter from the department, I knew that the pack...

12. Being prepared for the RN program

    HeiseC replied to slangley's topic in General Students

    I agree about getting your CNA. I wish I went for mine since I could have graduated high school with my CNA. I didn't grab that opportunity because my parents thought it would be better for me to get my education first. I'm thinking about getting my ...

    Oh gee. I could see how, if it isn't converted right. My problem would be the conversion. I keep wanting to put 1/1000 but I have to know what goes with what so that it cancels. I would guess the baby is 13.2 pounds. At first I looked at it and said...

14. Just for fun

    HeiseC replied to HeiseC's topic in General Students

    I didn't mean to take it personally. I dropped all my freinds because they all were laughing behind my back. Said I'll never become a nurse. One of them said she was going to do the 'fast track' but said that 3 years ago. I get a lot of negativity an...

    @ Pneumothorax: I'm just wondering how to get to the answer. Everyone thinks differently, and I'm just curious to see the different thought patterns. @GrnTea: Its no joke. I feel a little off put because you think its a joke. I got this paper in my s...
