    Thoughts on Pre-Made Pharm Flashcards (MediQuik)

    imhorsemackerel replied to DotFlower's topic in General Students

    Why do you have two sets? Can't you condense them into one? Focus on whatever points are emphasized in lectures. I've never bought already made flashcards. I retain more by writing a lot. An exercise...

    Wrong profession or wrong nursing school?

    imhorsemackerel replied to guest1042410's topic in General Students

    When I went to LPN school, a lot of my classmates would complain as well. On one hand I would understand as many of them had families or worked fulltime (whereas I worked 2 per diem jobs). But we had...

    Clinical makes me want to quit

    imhorsemackerel replied to hopefulmidwife1's topic in General Students

    I nicknamed my clinical experience as Bed Baths & Beyond. You can try putting some Vicks on your nose, if the smell is something you can't tolerate. Does your instructor tell you where you need to...

    Tips For LPNs Going For Their RN Degree

    imhorsemackerel replied to SaltySarcasticSally's topic in LPN to RN

    If it makes you feel any better, I just started a job as an LPN. If I get accepted into the LPN-RN program I will only have like 3 months of experience. I still have my books from LPN school. In your...

    Too soon to apply for jobs?

    imhorsemackerel replied to brockclan3's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    You live in the hospital? I think it depends on where you live. I know in New York you can work under an RN's license if you submit a permit. But you have like 3 months or something to take and pass...

    Will I have a social life in nursing school

    imhorsemackerel replied to Aa1Bb2Cc3's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you have a party to go to, stay for a couple of hours. You won't want to leave early, and it might be hard, but you have to do what you have to do. Now, there may be some weeks where you absolutely...

    Don’t know if I have enough passion for nursing

    imhorsemackerel replied to Shai1010's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You can't really do anything with a BA or BS in psych. You'd most likely have to go for your masters or PhD. I agree that shadowing a nurse or volunteering could help

    Just another "no friends in nursing school" rant

    imhorsemackerel replied to prettywishes's topic in General Students

    For LPN school, it was easy to make friends as i was with the majority of the same people for months at a time. In clinicals we were usually paired up and had to take care of a patient. During this...

    Nursing @ 32?

    imhorsemackerel replied to Firstina's topic in General Students

    Well my mom became an RN in her mid 40s. She was first a CNA, pursued her LPN, then she became an RN. My brother and I were a handful as kids, so she never pursued her BSN. It will be a lot of work,...
