:yelclap: Well spoken. I agree with the above quote. Ive never attended private school.I went to Public school and seen this tactic, especially in my 2nd and 3rd semester. I saw the grading on the curve thing to the students who "saw through the syst...

Yeah there making it real hard to get into the RN programs now.I heard from my instructor that they are planning to make it mandatory to have a GPA of 3.0 (shew:uhoh3: ) in your science classes to get in. Im glad that ill be going to the LVN-BSN onli...

There is state income tax in california.Is there state income tax in Texas?

Amen to that! I had my rotation at the "killer Kaiser" where i live. Saw a surgeon who could not find the 2nd fallopean tube when trying to do a tubal ligation. To top it off , they were digging in the poor womans stomach looking for it( like diggin ...

Thanks for that advice.My fiance and I are planning to buy a house in the near future, but we know its impossible to do it in california:uhoh3: . I can deal with $18-22 because of the cost of living.I think I might consider relocating there.Thanx aga...

Thats very intresting to know . I was thinking of relocating to Texas (dont know what part yet , maybe the outskirts of houston) but wanted to know if the job oppurtunity is greater than california?

Congrats Nurse!!! :balloons: :caduceus: You are my inspiration( wow 40 minutes) How many questions did you study per day and the book you used???.Im due to take mine August!!

I just graduated 5/24:balloons: !!! Im so excited about starting my career, but you do have people who will try to bring you down. Im tired of trying to explain the difference . It has been times where I just wanted to scream. I think some people thi...

I can offically be on the graduate nursing form..Yeah:mortarboard: . I graduated 5/24/07.I still cant believe im done. One more obstacle...the NCLEX:devil:

It can be scary. I went through it. I was in my 1st semester and then I drew the insulin and tried to take the cap off and stuck myself, but I didnt think it went through my glove .I gave the shot and afterwards notice blood on my glove.I reported to...

Ill be graduating next month and I get the same reaction like" oh so your not going to school to be a RN" its gets to a point where I just want to say that a RN is not only a nurse. I too explain the difference 1. pushing meds through a IV 2. managin...

Hi all, I met with a guy from the college network and I came to the conculsion I am going to further my education with the Indiana State ( LVN-BSN). I did my research on this company and process and first didnt want to pay money and not be able to si...

:pumpiron: :welcome: Hi Everyone, I wanted to start this thread because for 2 years I had My CNA License but never used it because I was employed as a Legal Clerk at a company that was close to my job and it was physically easy ( mentally draining) a...

I agree with you very much on that. i found I lost some weight because I can still taste the poop in my mouth and that is the nasty-ist thing that you can taste.Im use to smelling by now and my gag reflex has calmed down a little, but better than th...

RMB, yes they do teach you in school that your not suppose to gag because it makes your patient feel bad.But yes I agree with you it is a natural reflex and it just happens ,I cant control it.But school and reality is different. Sandy it seems your a...

:yelclap: I commend you on your first day at a LTC with 10 patients.Sounds you were busy and handled it real well. Some of things you were saying had me noddin my head like I know what U are going through.Especially, the poop as long as the brief to ...

Thanx Leeae!

It can be very challanging.I wont lie to ya. I made it through 2 semesters and will be graduating in May. My advice..get plenty of rest..study..study...and study like you never have before in your life.There is alot of Material and test in this progr...

Well... i couldnt resist replying to this topic. I am currently a student and I just personally think that there was nothing wrong with what you told the student.Thats just common sense in my opinion.Why would you give a antihypertensive if the BP i...

I started in LVN school at 26.Im now 27 about to graduate in May 2007.I will be going to get my RN after I graduate.So I think by 30 I should be a RN.

Congrats on passing the board!!! . I am a 2nd semester student.I wanted to know what study guide you used to pass the boards and how long you waited after school to take the boards.
