1. No test reviews in my program... Anyone else ?

   luixbeauty replied to Angela0120's topic in LPN/LVN Students

   Not always, if we request it then the instructor will go over the tests...more so in first semester tho. Also our instructor adjusts tests/quizzes because there are many variations in our books.

2. How Many students have dropped out of your LVN program?

   luixbeauty replied to Iiamlilly's topic in LPN/LVN Students

   I think it depends on the school as well. The drop rate if any is very low at my college and most classes have 100% pass rate when taking the nclex the first time around.

3. How long do you go to clinicals?

   luixbeauty replied to lorarami's topic in LPN/LVN Students

   My program is a year long (3 semesters) The first semester we have clinical's for 6 weeks, I'm not sure about the other two semesters.

4. I'm a lot less scared of clinicals now...

   luixbeauty replied to MrsCuoco's topic in LPN/LVN Students

   Ugh that's too bad. I had a great job at a hospital then relocated to a rural area for the nursing program and the only work I could find as a CNA was in a nursing home (which i was fine with) anyway I heard horror stories about management trying to ...

5. I'm a lot less scared of clinicals now...

   luixbeauty replied to MrsCuoco's topic in LPN/LVN Students

   I can't wait for clinical's. I have been a CNA for years and worked on an acute care unit in a hospital. Clinical's should be somewhat easy for me, thank goodness because I'll be busting my tail with everything else. I don't know if you have ever bee...

6. Just started LPN program Wednesday!

   luixbeauty replied to iamkimberly's topic in LPN/LVN Students

   Awesome! I start lvn schooling on Monday. I'm nervous.....There will be a lot thrown at us very quickly. I am not the greatest with math that makes me the most nervous of all.. I don't have a problem with conversions but I am not good at fractions. S...

10. Panicking

    luixbeauty posted a topic in LPN/LVN Students

    I start the lvn program next Monday. My instructor emailed the class giving us the first 2 weeks reading assignments...I opened my math book for the class and started going over the basics, started panicking because the first chapter is full of fract...

11. Any web sites to purchase instead of rent e-textbooks?

    luixbeauty replied to LCinTraining's topic in General Students

    I got all my books (beside the huge bundle) from Amazon and Ebay. For example my college bookstore wanted $30 for an lpn clinical pocket guide....I got it brand new on Ebay for $8..The college bookstores are ridiculous!

12. Do LPNs work in LTAC?

    luixbeauty replied to BrandonLPN's topic in LTAC

    Hello, I worked at Northern California Rehabilitation Hospital. I worked on the LTAC floor. Yes they do hire LVN's. Here in Ca an LVN is a nurse. You have your own patients usually 4-6 like the RN's. You are responsible for everything there is no RN ...

13. shoes for clinicals?

    luixbeauty replied to jaycee15's topic in LPN/LVN Students

    Danskos! They are leather. Spendy but I worked 12 hour shifts as a CNA and they saved my feet. I'm willing to pay to not be sore.

14. Question ;)

    luixbeauty replied to Amylovesnursing's topic in LPN/LVN Students

    I don't even want to think about the RN. It will be a miracle getting threw the lvn... good grades don't come easily to me so I will have to study like I've never studied. But then again, anatomy was the most intense class I've taken so far, I didn't...

15. Backpack on wheels..Is this really necessary?

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

    I have 15 books ..... I figured I'll just take a backpack with the days books and leave the rest in my car since the parking lot is in very close proximity with the building.
