  1. is the lpn program less hard/stressful than the ADN program?

    LESS? Most people I've spoken to about the difference say that it is harder, because ADN programs go much slower and have less clinical time, generally
  2. LPN classes - venting and etc...

    Wow, this is a tough one. I would advise against switching schools. Instead, focus on finding ways to make studying easier on yourself. No matter where you go to school, the own ness of your education is on you. Pharm can be difficult, but there are ...
  3. Why am i not motivated this weekend

    I am positive that your scores will go up once you find your groove. Find a way to make studying fun and interesting to you. For me, I found that silly nursing songs make my brain come alive and remember more. YouTube is now my best friend, especiall...
  4. Need some advice on working vs. not working.

    My advice would be to not work at least until you are through Fundamentals. By that time, you'll have a greater grasp on your studying style and will know how much you can handle. Most states will allow you to sit for the CNA exam after Fundamentals,...

  7. So stressed..

  9. Too much emphasis on "caring"

    Thank you
  10. just a vent!

    While I do see here you are comming from, it really would behoove you to not let these other students get to you. Ths is your education. You are paying good money to educate yourself. If others in your class are wasting this opportunity, it is on the...
  11. School starts Tuesday!

    9 tests in 9 days? Wow. I started my program on the fourth. We have about 3 chapters to read each night and then we have lecture the next day about them. Each day is making me love nursing school more and more. Is hen everything starts clicking toget...
  12. Question why the pt is on hypoglycemic medication even though their blood sugar level is trending high, for starters...secondly this thread should be moved to the assistance forum because this sounds an awful lot like your homework
  13. I thought it would be fun to do this each week as sort of a reflective mental break. I just finished my first week. There was a ton of information to go over, but a couple of things stood out for me. What interesting or unusual things did you learn t...
  14. Finally...School starts in the morning!

    Same here! I woke up at 4:45 even though class doesn't start until 8. I'm can't wait
  15. Advice to New Nursing Students

    That is a great way to look at it
