1. ECPI-Raleigh LPN June 2011

   racefan88 replied to annettern2b's topic in North Carolina

   OK, everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but please get your facts straight. ECPI-Raleigh has one of the best first time NCLEX pass rates of any school in the area. I know this because A: it's easy to check and B: I graduated from ECPI and bre...

2. **Graduation June 2011 :)...Advice for NCLEX PLEASE

   racefan88 replied to Ericad85's topic in LPN/LVN Students

   I just passed my NCLEX on 3/31 For me, it was a critical thinking exam. Knowing lab values, PRIORITY (can't stress that enough) and disease processes helped a lot. There aren't any obvious answers, you have to think. If you have a study book Lik...

5. Therapeutic Diet in the DeWit textbook

   racefan88 replied to vindy's topic in LPN/LVN Students

   LOL! I remember that book started to fall apart in NUR114! We had to use duct tape to hold them together. Not just one or two but the entire class! I was glad to be finished with it. I still have it (duct tape and all) for reference :)

6. Therapeutic Diet in the DeWit textbook

   racefan88 replied to vindy's topic in LPN/LVN Students

   I remember it being in the back of the book.

7. 4th day of school, and the instructor hates me...

   racefan88 replied to HorologyGirl's topic in LPN/LVN Students

   Yet another excellent reason to read the text for yourself and NOT rely on lectures :)

8. Any students currently/previously attended ECPI??

   racefan88 replied to ronda919's topic in LPN/LVN Students

   Hello. I attend ECPI at the Raleigh campus and graduate next month. I'm curious about your Freshman O because we didn't have open book tests or quizes for that class. Be careful about thinking any class is going to be easy. I'm an "A" student but...

9. Tempers, bullies, and self created chaos!!

   racefan88 replied to squirly's topic in LPN/LVN Students

   I feel for ya Squirly! I have been suffering through the same types of things in my program. I graduate in February and it can't come soon enough! I'm tired of the drama, the complaining when they have to actually do some work, and having someone com...

10. I have LOST the will to study....

    racefan88 replied to Dizzy Lizzy 1980's topic in LPN/LVN Students

    I know just how you feel! Every couple of terms I have the same problem. I get so tired of studying all the time for all the tests, that I have to really push myself to study. I graduate in February and it can't come soon enough! We have tests on M...

11. A worn out topic

    racefan88 replied to artistnurse's topic in General Nursing

    This is a good question. I'll be graduating soon and would love to hear more replies on this subject. I'll be watching this post

12. Does anyone else find this offensive?

    racefan88 replied to megan3485's topic in General Nursing

    I went to MA school before going to LPN school. Telling you about my programs (MA and LPN) is pointless because each MA and LPN program and what they include (phlebotomy, labs, etc) are different. So, comparing them is also pointless. If you work in ...

13. ECPI Raleigh April 2010 LPN??

    racefan88 replied to armorris8115's topic in LPN/LVN Students

    Thx! I graduate in February and can't wait! How have you found the job market in our area? Do you still commute to Raleigh for work? Just wondering. Michele:)

14. Prerequisities classes for LPN classes

    racefan88 replied to Boose_santana2007's topic in LPN/LVN Students

    I'm also in agreement with the above posters. I'm about half-way through my program and they didn't require prereqs, but I had to pass the TEAS test with a certain score (I can't remember) and then I had a "meet and greet" with the Asst. DON, and th...

15. Teas test next week....anyone?? June 15th

    racefan88 replied to munchkins4mom's topic in LPN/LVN Students

    No, But I have taken it. You're right, stick with your gut. Algebra was on there and reading comp. Simple chemistry and english grammar. It's multiple choice so read the questions carefully and throw out the obviously wrong answers first and then ...
