   coconuts replied to ashleybr2009's topic in LPN/LVN Students

   I suggest you get the NLN LPN pre-entrance exam book and study off of it. Mine came with a disk for practice testing and solutions. It's very helpful. It'll be about a 4hr test, don't concentrate too long on things you don't know cause you'll just wa...

   coconuts replied to MaleNurselvn's topic in LPN/LVN Students

   Most of my classmates are female, and I've noticed only one male in my class so far. I don't think there would be a problem with few males in the class. We're all there to learn.

5. New nurse on the block (aka: STUPID) .....

   coconuts replied to sarahg88's topic in New Nurse

   My opinion is let them talk. They can talk till their lips fall off or their head spins like the exorcist. You're still learning, don't be so hard on yourself. Just do what you gotta do, take notes if you have to, and learn from them. You shouldn...

   coconuts replied to ShayRN's topic in General Nursing

   We've gotten our warnings at our class orientation about online postings. There was a story about a student who went to a health museum, took pictures of someone's organ, later posting it on their site, and got kicked out of school for it. I don't ...

    coconuts replied to asmith79's topic in Massachusetts

    Congrats!!!!! It's def. a great accomplishment to be accepted into their program cause you have to not only take their 4 hr entrance exam, but also pretty much battle it out with your scores and interview among the other participants. There aren't ...

11. What's Your Best Nursing Ghost Story?

    coconuts replied to steffck's topic in General Nursing

    My personal story started out after getting home from working an 11pm-7am shift. After changing for bed, I continued to make my way to my tall windows and shut the blinds and fell into my bed. My eye lids were heavy and burning from being overly tire...
