thanks everyone for replying. we are in the process of looking at several manuals that we have located and revising them to fit our schools. again thank you for replying.

we are in need of help. we have been informed by our superintendent that the nurse's need to write a procedural protocol manual for all 4 of our campuses. we have 2 elementary, 1 middle, and 1 high schools in our district. our district rn who has bee...

had one just yesterday (monday). the teacher brings him in and says he looks flush, didn't eat lunch, and just sat during recess (very unlike him). take temp, it's 95.7 he says he feels fine and i send him back to class. teacher brings him back and s...

well, "graduation" was thursday night and this is the first chance i've had to post...my family had a party for me friday and another friend had a party saturday. we received our certificates on thursday (along with our temporary work permits), and i...

thank you all very much!! imnrn2b...yes, gvn stands for graduate vocational nurse...texas and california are the only two states that have gvn/lvn...the other 48 have gpn/lpn. again, thanks for all your well wishes!!

way to go!! congratulations!! i'll be taking my test in a few weeks and i hope i can post the same results as you!! good luck on the next phase towards your career!!

wow!! your pinning ceremony sounds much nicer than ours. we are going to a local restaurant (we have reservations...i hope..lol) and we are having lunch and pinning at some point during lunch. we "voted" as a class as to which restaurant we are going...

congratulations!! i know how you feel. we took our last final last tuesday...we ended up losing 2 more out of our class on final day we will end up graduating 21 out of 36 original students. we are now doing our preceptorship. i've already done 24 ...

the countdown is on...on 2 1/2 weeks of "official" school left. one class day with our med-surg final over psych and then we start preceptorship for 80 total hours. we have our pinning on aug. 11, and graduation ceremonies on aug. 12. finally, it w...

mrs. yost, congratulations!!! we took our final today and i'm saddened to say we lost 2 more students. meaning we've lost 4 this semester and all within the last week. we now do our preceptorship and then we have pinning on august 11, with graduat...

wow!! there are lots of ideas here!! and while i'd like to do many of them, my intention is to do the following (not necessarily in any particular order): put the majority of my sign-on bonus in a savings account make sure that i'm signed up for reti...

gij1...thank you for your kind words. it's nice to hear someone say that they think you'll make a good nurse...i can hardly wait until we start preceptorship in just 4 short weeks... that means we have 4 weeks to get in 3 exams plus other class assi...

jemommy, thank you for your kind words. it hasn't been an easy road these past few years, but i shall overcome and succeed. if you'll notice my sig line...god lead me here, he'll lead me through it. without his love and strength i couldn't have made ...

i can certainly feel your pain!! i was in an adn program a couple of years ago. passed first semester, failed out second semester by 1 point. had to retake first semester, passed with an "a", failed second semester again by less than 1/4 point...just...

thanks for the congrats!! it's been a long time coming and not what i had planned 6 years ago, but this is the way it is. i believe things happen for a reason. the reason i don't work in palestine is that i don't live in palestine. i live west of pal...

i'm currently an lvn student at tvcc - palestine campus. i will receive my certificate on august 12, 2004. i intend to take next fall off (pass boards, make some money, pay some bills), and then in spring 2005, take 1 or 2 classes per semester to fin...

we have a few competitors in our class. we have one female who is in my study group who was bragging before break that she and another girl were tied for first placement in class standings. well, she had volunteered her first semester gpa and what sh...

what do i want to be when i grow up?? hmmm...well, when the "call" to nursing came to me, so did the "call" to pediatric oncology. i was living in the metroplex at the time, so it was no big deal. now i live 100 miles from the metroplex in a very sma...

some of you may recall my ranting last semester of one person in particular in my class that was cheating...with the help of others. well, she had finally managed to p*ss off all of her "buddies" and she had gotten into a situation where she had to m...

in trying in advance to make this as short as possible, let me reveal what i have seen. periodically we have to take "eri" exams. these are topic specific, such as a&p, nutrition, mental health, skills, etc. they are standardized tests, affect ...

yes, mandy, does make me feel better. thanks!!

just an update on my dean's/president's list status. i looked through the catalog online tonight and found out that we no longer have a dean's list. the school strictly has a "president's honor roll" which requires a 4.0 for the semester to make and ...

i apologize for the misunderstanding. :)

rn2be, our clinical and skills lab grades are stand alone classes and do not boost out theory grades at all. you can make an a in one of the theory classes (i.e., mental health) and if you don't make the necessary passing grade (75 at my school), the...
