   You work any time you have more than one day off from school. You can request leave though for that time. Like for Spring break I only had to work a week, so I took the whole week off with AL. But for Summer, I worked for 3 months.

2. Was RN school easy for you?

   EV1518 replied to EV1518's topic in General Students

   Well! Long story! I'm a federal employee. I applied for a scholarship that will allow me to get my salary but JUST go to school, yay! Anything federal is slow as hell, so yep...it hasn't come through yet and I'm still working, boo! I say that to...

3. Was RN school easy for you?

   EV1518 replied to EV1518's topic in General Students

   1st week down! Thus far, the material isn't difficult. BUT...I've been taking 1-2 classes at a time for a long time to get my pre-reqs done and now I'm taking SIX classes at once! So I would say the hardest part (in just the 1st week), is managing...

   Me either! lol But the IDEAS makes sense to me! So I'm just trying to fill my head with positive thoughts.

5. LPN to RN without the bridge option

   EV1518 replied to Aspirational Beauty's topic in LPN-RN

   Thanks for this! I started a post a few days ago wondering if the LPNs going into the bridge seemed to have it easier or not because of their experience. I'm a LPN going into a full 2 yr program and people are all about scaring the crap out of stud...

6. RN school easier for LPNs?

   EV1518 replied to EV1518's topic in General Students

   I didn't even go to LPN school, so, can't compare! I was a Navy Corpsman, that's enough to test out of NCLEX in Cali to get license. I'm hoping hands on experience will be helpful in RN school

   EV1518 replied to EV1518's topic in General Students

   Its funny how when asking for positive stories, people frequently offer up "its different for everyone", but when people voluntarily offer up their negative experiences, its projected as if everyone will have the same experience! Lol I know what's ea...

9. Was RN school easy for you?

   EV1518 replied to EV1518's topic in General Students

   Yea, that was my plan...I really think that's always been me anyway...lay low and get out of there undetected lol We had orientation already and I noticed a few know it all types, I think they'll keep the instructors distracted lol

10. Was RN school easy for you?

    EV1518 replied to EV1518's topic in General Students

    Thank you. I keep seeing people say instructors "had it out" for them. I've never experienced this in my many years of pre-reqs (it took foreveeeer lol), I wonder why some people think that. Like, what would be a clue? Lol

11. RN school easier for LPNs?

    EV1518 posted a topic in General Students

    If you took classes with LPNs (schools that bridge in LPNs will add the LPNs to the 2nd years of the RN program), do you feel the LPNs caught on a little easier to the information? I'm an LPN going into a RN program and I'm looking for any gleam of h...

    PLEASE DON'T ANSWER IF IT WAS HARD FOR YOU. I keep hearing about how hard nursing school is. Well, I know that, or everyone would go and pass! I need to hear some positive stories! Have you heard of Hypnobirthing? One suggestion is to block out ...

    For the ladies that got in, in fall, I'm curious...what did you guys do during orientation? I'm just wondering why it's a full day.

    EV1518 replied to katieholmen's topic in School Programs

    Hi Britt, so because of the new requirements, a lot of people didn't qualify for the original July deadline. Everyone that qualified got in! (Unless they declined and went elsewhere). So even though we all got in, they did still do the lottery to ...
