   mandymarie7791 posted a topic in Ohio

   Hi everyone :) I just passed my NCLEX last month, and I am so stressed over the fact that I cannot find a job! I was under the impression that nurses were in such high demand! It seems that everyone wants at least a year, if not 2-3 years experience....

3. I think I just need some encouragement

   mandymarie7791 replied to mandymarie7791's topic in Student Assist

   Thank you all for the encouragement!! I really needed it. I think I ended up letting stress get the best of me which sometimes it's hard to just take a moment, breath in, and exhale!!!!

   Two weeks ago the class average of our endocrine exam was 75% (I got a 76%) I worked so hard for that test. My problem now is Monday's respiratory test. I don't have the energy to take anything in because of how hard I worked for my last test and all...

   Hi, I'm Mandy, a second semester LPN student I totally know how you feel. For our first 5 weeks, we have one instructor. For the rest of the semester we have a different instructor who comes in. She taught RN's forever. She is teaching us LPN stude...

6. Study help!

   mandymarie7791 replied to vivano1's topic in Student Assist

   What always helps me study for anything is note cards. ALSO, I break everything down and separate it. Because if you try to learn everything in whole it's alot harder, than taking one thing, breaking it down (on a chart, or in a notebook). Make sure ...

8. How do you study?

   mandymarie7791 posted a topic in LPN/LVN Students

   I'm an Lpn student who will be graduating in July. I was just curious about everyone's study type. I myself, still don't have one! Do you read your textbooks, or do you find it more helpful to read the NCLEX books? Sometimes there are so many chapter...

13. You have to know everything

    mandymarie7791 replied to mandymarie7791's topic in General Students

    I totally understand the fact that we should know everything. I just think it's sad that we are forced to know it in such a short amount of time which sometimes leaves you no choice but to memorize as much as you can. Don't get me wrong, I want to ge...

14. You have to know everything

    mandymarie7791 posted a topic in General Students

    Does anyone else have this frustration? When we ask our instructor for "clues" as to what will be on the test, she says, "you have to know everything". I mean, cmon now!! How can you expect us to know EVERYTHING from 3 chapters, and then figure out w...
