Me too! I'm almost done with my preceptorship, overnights on weekends in the ETC of our local major teaching hospital. I've had a fabulous experience in my preceptorship, but I'll be glad to be done...

Congrats!

Definitely tell the people in your life to lay off you about failing. If it builds itself up as this huge, insurmountable wall to climb, of course it's going to be a roadblock for you. Get yourself...

Did you pick a date yet? I'd say definitely work to memorize your generic drug suffixes (-pril, -lol, things like that). Even if you don't immediately recognize a drug, if you can remember what class...

I bet you did just fine! I wish LPNs here in Iowa made as much as you guys in NJ, then I wouldn't have to keep my office job while I'm in school. I'd love to get experience in the field.

I wish I had known about PVT! Oh well, I passed and feel great about it! I also got stopped at 85 questions.

I'm currently a year into the ADN program at Kirkwood Community College, and while there have been some frustrating aspects of my time here, I'm really happy with the knowledge that I've gained so...

At this point, I really think that Mt. Mercy is the front-runner. My best friend attended MMU and got a BS in Biology, and it was a really nice change from UI. I'm hoping I can qualify for some...

I've been in contact with the admissions counselors at Iowa Wesleyan, and they seem extremely friendly and helpful! The IWC website doesn't have much information on the RN-BSN program, unfortunately.

Hi! Anyone have any strong opinions about RN-BSN programs in the Iowa City and surrounding areas? I'm pretty sure I won't be going to the University of Iowa (and I'm not too broken up about that),...

The TEAS test is the same everywhere, isn't it? It's a standardized test nationwide, administered by ATI. You can purchase the study guide from ATI for $50, or your college may have it available for...
