   Careful with the online lab classes. Most nursing schools will not accept an online lab class that has no lab. Read the fine print of the prereqs carefully

   Junior college... if you're truly ready. It's no walk on the park

3. No clinicals

   OveRNineThousand replied to nahir05's topic in LPN/LVN Students

   Hi I searched online but I can't seem to get a definitive answer. Clinical hours for Lpn schools seem to vary from 300 hours to 1000. I wouldn't think that low hours should affect your Nclex-pn scores very much. The tests are generally all from the...

4. Starting Pre-Req’s at age 37

   OveRNineThousand replied to AspiringNurse99's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Hi! I concur with everyone that you shouldn't let your age bother you. I was a tiny bit older than you when I started prereqs, and just got my Rn last dec. I wasn't the oldest in my class and in never came up once in any class, clinical or teacher or...

5. I failed my first semester of 4th year

   OveRNineThousand replied to megaroo22475's topic in General Students

   Retake the class. Don't let anyone or anything stop you or stand in your way. You're in your 4th year, you have the knowledge and you know what to do. Spend this time going over any procedures that you now know you're uncomfortable with until you ...

6. CNA as a student - should I?

   OveRNineThousand replied to sym92's topic in General Students

   I would, all other things being equal. The thing is, sure they teach that stuff in the first 5 weeks of nursing school, and sure it's a lot of what you do the first semester in clinicals, but people who had experience like that working with patients...

7. Help-may have sciatica

   OveRNineThousand replied to rbaker6767's topic in General Students

   Hi. I'm no expert on sciatica but I've had it before. I'm much older than you and just graduated last year. I certainly wouldn't drop out of anything for sciatica. Lots of people have sciatica. It's kind of painful at times, but it gets better a...

8. Pre-nursing: How to answer NCLEX q's before RN school (or mastering them)

   OveRNineThousand replied to Beldar_the_Cenobite's topic in Pre-Nursing

   The thing about Nclex questions is.. all the choices are correct. Every single one. They ask which is most correct or which you should do first. That's why you need to know the content before it makes any sense at all.

9. Pre-nursing: How to answer NCLEX q's before RN school (or mastering them)

   OveRNineThousand replied to Beldar_the_Cenobite's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Hi. Please allow me to put my own two cents in. As a recent graduate and NCLEX survivor I'm very familiar with the anxiety that not-knowing what is going to happen to you can bring. Nursing school is different than any other "class" you've taken o...
