Hi everyone :) I just passed my NCLEX last month, and I am so stressed over the fact that I cannot find a job! I was under the impression that nurses were in such high demand! It seems that everyone wants at least a year, if not 2-3 years experience....

Hi everyone, my name is Mandy, and in August I will be graduating from the LPN program in Ohio (FINALLY!!!). I have ALWAYS wanted to move to fla, but lately I have been hearing that LPN's don't make too much down there I have a 9 year old son that I...

I have a test on the cardiovascular system TOMORROW. I've been studying but there's SOOO much and nothing is sticking to my brain!! I don't know what to do :0( I have searched all over the internet looking for quizzes that may help etc. I'm a 2nd se...

Two weeks ago the class average of our endocrine exam was 75% (I got a 76%) I worked so hard for that test. My problem now is Monday's respiratory test. I don't have the energy to take anything in because of how hard I worked for my last test and all...

Thank you all for the encouragement!! I really needed it. I think I ended up letting stress get the best of me which sometimes it's hard to just take a moment, breath in, and exhale!!!!

Hi, I'm Mandy, a second semester LPN student I totally know how you feel. For our first 5 weeks, we have one instructor. For the rest of the semester we have a different instructor who comes in. She taught RN's forever. She is teaching us LPN stude...

I'm an Lpn student who will be graduating in July. I was just curious about everyone's study type. I myself, still don't have one! Do you read your textbooks, or do you find it more helpful to read the NCLEX books? Sometimes there are so many chapter...

What always helps me study for anything is note cards. ALSO, I break everything down and separate it. Because if you try to learn everything in whole it's alot harder, than taking one thing, breaking it down (on a chart, or in a notebook). Make sure ...

O.k., so I've been studying for my upcoming endocrine test (which didn't seem too bad) I was taking in all the info from the 1st two chapters (endocrine disorders and thyroid disorders) and then WHAMM!! I hit the diabetes chapter and all of a sudden ...

That was funny Daytonite. And my 6 year old cat was just diagnosed with diabetes 2 weeks ago and I have to give her shots twice a day as well.I read online somewhere that a lady has 2 cats and they BOTH are on dialysis!! Could you imagine?!! Yikes!

WOW!!! Im lost for words at how amazing everyone here is. Thank you thank you thank you!!!

Thanks Daytonite!

I just recently bought the lippincotts review for nclex-pn 7th edition and thecomprehensive review for the nclex-pn 2nd edition by saunders and these books are WONDERFUL! I'm not sure if you're going for RN or LPN though. The lippincott just has ques...

Does anyone else have this frustration? When we ask our instructor for "clues" as to what will be on the test, she says, "you have to know everything". I mean, cmon now!! How can you expect us to know EVERYTHING from 3 chapters, and then figure out w...

I totally understand the fact that we should know everything. I just think it's sad that we are forced to know it in such a short amount of time which sometimes leaves you no choice but to memorize as much as you can. Don't get me wrong, I want to ge...

I have been working on a hemodialysis diet for HOURS and I am getting nowhere I have the diet done. The problem is finding out how much sodium, potassium, and protein is in each item. For instance, breakfast- 6oz oatmeal, 1/4 c scrambled eggs, 1 sli...

Thank you very much Meghan and Vicky!!!!

Thank you Daytonite! Great links!

Hi, I'm in my second semester of LPN and I was wondering if anyone knows of any links to sites that may have practice tests for IV therapy along with complications etc... Thanks!!

O.k., so I got 72% on the test, and 60% (6 out of 10) on the pharm test which is alot better, believe it or not, than I thought I did! Hopefully I never get that kind of grade again this semester. I HAVE to pass this semester!!! I would die if I didn...

Thank you so much for the links ;o) And ty to e1 who replied. I had the test this morning and it was AWFUL I mean AWFUL!!! I've never had to guess that much on a test. I get the grade back friday, which I'm not looking forward to. Our next test, in ...

Any suggestions on how to minimize all of this information to make it easier? I have three very long chapters to read and there's so much information. How am I supposed to remember all of this? Oh and I'm an LPN student entering my 2nd semester. Than...
