    I'm taking Biomedical Ethics online and CLEPing US History 1. I actually have the NCLEX-PN scheduled first, so that's my main priority for now. And late June I can focus more on the other 2. I just...

    Would you retake a C+ in AP2?

    imhorsemackerel replied to WCSU1987's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It depends on the program you're interested in. With my program the TEAS are weighted heavily and assigned points depending on how well/poorly you did. Taking specific college level courses adds...

    Good TEAS Score?

    imhorsemackerel replied to Peacelove889's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    It definitely depends on your school. Are you applying for LPN or RN? Hopefully they will give you an interview if you haven't yet. With the LPN-RN program I'm looking into they recommend either...

    TEAS VI Calculator

    imhorsemackerel replied to 2017chicago's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    You can practice with a cheap $5 calculator from Staples/Walmart. I'm not sure about the program you're going into, but for my program the calculator would come in handy. We were able to use them for...

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

    Hello! I graduated from Stony Brook with a BA in Psych. My initial intention was to get a dual degree in Psych and Nursing, but things didn't pan out. I decided to go for the LPN program at Eastern...

    SEVERE Anxiety about the NCLEX

    imhorsemackerel replied to Mcastle124's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    These are all great ideas! I finally got my ATT after waiting almost a month, and the closest place had June 19th as the earliest test date. So I'm going to eat out with the family on Father's Day. I...

    NCLEX After 7 years

    imhorsemackerel replied to TryAgain2017's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Are you doing the LPN or RN? I felt Saunder's NCLEX exam book helpful and comprehensive. I know the one for LPN is red, but not sure the color for the RN

    We just demonstrated on the forearms and legs. For the perineal area we did it on a dummy. When we had clinicals, we did it all,

    Lpn student needs advice

    imhorsemackerel replied to Citynurse17's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    At my school for LPN we did a lot of aide work as well. It was humbling, though. For the RN program, do you need any prerequisite? Or are there classes non-nursing related that have to be taken before...

    Will having a BA hurt being hired as an LPN?

    imhorsemackerel replied to Larrin42's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I got my BA in Psychology, and I decided to get my foot in the nursing door. So I went for LPN. Since graduating, I went to a job fair. Many of the potential employers said it was impressive I also...

    Suffolk County Community College 2017 Applicants

    imhorsemackerel replied to Murman's topic in School, College Programs

    I just went to the info session today. If you retake Bio 130 or Bio 132 (no matter if you're taking it to get a better grade from a C to A, you withdrew for personal/medical reasons, you failed) 2...

    Semester is over / Psychology question

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

    Intro to psych was alright from what I can remember. I thought it was interesting. I ended up going for my LPN after getting a bachelor's in psych and a lot of people you'll learn about (like Freud,...

    Eastern Suffolk Boces LPN Program 2017

    imhorsemackerel replied to sdalo's topic in School, College Programs

    Most, if not all, hospitals in NY phased out the LPNs. However there are clinics that are associated with Stony Brook, Northwell, and other hospitals that do hire LPNs. There are also plenty of...

    how to study???

    imhorsemackerel replied to sakura69's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I learn best by writing, writing, and writing. I would take notes on a chapter. Then (if I had the time or patience), I would rewrite everything in that chapter into my own words and try to simplify...

    Help!!!! Failed the teas 6

    imhorsemackerel replied to QueenDanii79's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    I honestly just used the book that they offered. I'm not sure if it does, but if you go online, I believe it tells you what parts you need to improve on. So if you need to improve on your A&P, but...

    Eastern Suffolk Boces LPN Program 2017

    imhorsemackerel replied to sdalo's topic in School, College Programs

    I'm honestly not sure what the difference between the entrance exam and the TEAS test. I remember a classmate mentioned taking the entrance exam but claimed it wasn't the TEAS. The TEAS test is what...

    Hey guys! I just graduated from the program. It still feels surreal. Keep in mind that if you do part time, you will be doing part time from September 2017 to June 2018 (Level 1) 6PM-9:30PM. From...

    Too late to become an LPN?

    imhorsemackerel replied to pdon's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I just graduated, and I had a couple of classmates in their 40s. However, they were CNAs, so they were able to get by. It will take a lot of dedication and support. With my class, we saw each other...

    My coworker was high and got away with it

    imhorsemackerel replied to Volley88's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not sure why you felt the need to tell the charge nurse the next day, but honestly I would have just let it go. You brought it to the charge nurse's attention, so I'm sure they'll pay more...
