  3. Well so long Students!!

    To be honest, I mostly did nclex questions using Sanders 4th edition cd. I would focus on the content that I was going over in my current class and I would make sure to read the rationales one every question right or wrong so I could make sure I knew...
  4. Well so long Students!!

    Mainergal2000 I don't know how your school is set up but for me the toughest classes where peds and ob since they were just soo short ( about 4 weeks each) best advise I can give is to make sure you read ahead of time and don't fall behind.
  5. Well so long Students!!

  8. NYC mildred elley students?

    I'm about a quarter of the way through my second term and I think overall the school is easier than I expected. Being an EMT first, the hardest thing I have had to do was retrain my brain I think about things. My best advise would be study hard but t...

  12. Starting class Monday!

    Good luck, you sound like you have a good head on your shoulders, you can do this. Just make sure to stay ahead of your reading, lectures tend to give a lot of information and if you forgot to preread you may find yourself feeling a bit overwhelmed.
  13. Wrapping up first term

    Thanks for the input guys, this is all very valuable information :)
  14. Advice for new LPN student

    I'd recommend you invest in an NCLEX-PN book, especially one with a cd. NCLEX questions are hard and the more exposure you get to them the better off you'll be. As far as a stethoscope, while in school I use the same $30 stethoscope that I use in the...
