Wow, that's a good idea. I didn't even realize you could buy something like that, but I def think I would benefit from it, b/c math doesn't come easily to me. Thanks!!

I start school Sept 6. I can't wait. I have two text books so far, but they're not mine. I borrowed from someone who was in the class last year. The woman at orientation said that they might or might not be the same books as I will be using for my c...

I agree about the light at the end of the tunnel. Everything happened so fast. I hear so many horror stories about being on waiting lists, etc. I procrastinated in taking my entrance exam for the purpose of trying to find after school care for my chi...

lol, boy do I know that feeling (lifting the girls a little bit higher). Well, congrats on the weight lost and keeping it off. I think the hardest part for me is though I'm an intelligent person and KNOW it won't come off over night, I get upset that...

Thanks so much. I didn't think about skipping around. LOL. I'm doing really well with the fundamentals. I'm re-learning some stuff I learned when I was certified almost 8 years ago and learning lots of new stuff and terminology too. I'll break out an...

Hi Joann, well, I am taking mine at Questar lll which is a part of Boces, I believe. I'm taking their LPN program. I'm in Troy, however. I plan at some point in the future to further my education and go for my RN, but I'd really like to get the exper...

If it's not too late, I think I'll start too. Ok, so I'm more than 3 months late on this one (wouldn't be the first time). Anyway, a co-worker and I decided we were going to diet together and be each other's support and oh, I don't know, we have fami...

Hi. JoannD, just wondering what school you'll be attending. I also start school in Upstate NY on 9/6, maybe classmates? Anyway I wanted to thank the person for the original post...I have my orientation tomorrow (ok, it's after midnight, so today) and...

Thank you both so very much. I'm so excited I can hardly stand myself. And my poor co-workers, that's all they hear about now, lol. One of my girls is even calling me "nurse". lol.

That last post was really good advice. The problem here is, I work as a CNA and my nurse really takes me under her wing and tries to let me watch and/or help and tries to teach me things sometimes. A co-worker who was enrolled in the same school just...

One more thing I didn't think of until just recently, do you know anyone who already went through nursing school? I asked a co-worker of mine who was enrolled just this year if I could borrow one of his text books. It'll give me a little bit of a jum...

Congrats to you!! That's great. I'm floating on the same cloud you are! I received my acceptance letter in the mail today. I knew I was going, but now I have it on paper!!:balloons:

Golden Scroll, where are you from? I'm from NY. Right now, I work in a County owned LTC facility and we're union so all LPN's make the same amount. Starting I will make only approximately $17 which is what my Sister-in-Law (working in the same facili...
