4. fall precautions with alzheimer's

   cowboysgirl2007 replied to vadee's topic in General Nursing

   I agree, stairs are a bad idea! :down::down: Is this in a home you are talking about? Maybe it's time to readjust the living arrangement so the stairs are taken out of the equation. If the house isn't suitable, maybe it's time to move to another ...

5. What do you have to wear to school?

   cowboysgirl2007 replied to KIMYNURSE2B's topic in LPN/LVN Students

   We can wear regular steet clothes to theory, and yes, I wear sweatpants. We have to sit in a hard uncomfortable chair for 9 hours, I'm going to do whatever it takes to be comfortable, and sweatpants do that! Most of the people in my class wear comf...

6. Drug Cards

   cowboysgirl2007 replied to livinlife1257's topic in LPN/LVN Students

   What information do you have to have on them? Are you guys starting out simple or do they have to be pretty detailed? We are lucky in that we get to use Mosby's Drug Cards. We just go through them, find the drug we need, and pull that card out. T...

7. Gggggrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!

   cowboysgirl2007 replied to rnmomtobe2010's topic in LPN/LVN Students

   Wow...we have the exact same thoughts! I was just talking to my closest friend, and fellow nsg student, about this subject. I am so stressed...and I feel like I study ALL ALL ALL ALL ALL ALL ALL the time and my grades still aren't up to my standard...

   We just had our first clinical day, and all I have to say is..... WOW. :wtosts: Actually, that's not all I have to say, but it sums up how I feel! I thought we had a heavy workload before today, but now it's even worse. I'm now trying to figure ou...

9. Harder Than I Thought

   cowboysgirl2007 replied to missjennmb's topic in LPN/LVN Students

   Your grading scale is what our grading scale was this summer, I thought it would stay the same for this semester but when I looked in our Handbook that's what it said. I guess I should question my instructors on Monday...I'm glad you gave your input...

10. Harder Than I Thought

    cowboysgirl2007 replied to missjennmb's topic in LPN/LVN Students

    The grading scale is soooo much harder. There's a thread somewhere on here that talks about it, and a lot of nursing schools are the same way. Ours go as follows: 91-100% A 83-90% B :wink2: 76-82% C :) 67-75% D 0-66% F However, our s...

11. Should I prepare or just wait????

    cowboysgirl2007 replied to SA Girl's topic in LPN/LVN Students

    I was just like you! I was so anxious to get started that I couldn't hardly stand it. I would also suggest reading, but not stressing about too many details as there will be time for that during the program. One thing I have learned is when I have ...

12. Harder Than I Thought

    cowboysgirl2007 replied to missjennmb's topic in LPN/LVN Students

    It's good to know I'm not the only one feeling like this. I am normally a strait "A" student and study my butt off. I got a 90 on my first exam, which is a "B" in Nsg school, and a "80" on the second exam, which is a "C" in the Nsg world. The last...

14. Is there anyone in LPN School

    cowboysgirl2007 replied to mr passionate1's topic in LPN/LVN Students

    I don't know if this will help, but here's how I study. I read the chapter I need, highlighting the important facts and topics. Then, I write those highlighted portions in a notebook. Next, I wait a day and go back to reread the notebook, highligh...

15. What are the item(s) you need most for nursing school?

    cowboysgirl2007 replied to rn2be2006's topic in General Students

    I have the RNotes too and they are wonderful! It's like a condensed version of all those books we have to lug around. It has everything you need, almost, to work in a nice little notebook. Especially nice for new nurses, or nursing students like m...
