    pcawiz replied to k.morris's topic in First Year After Licensure

    If you have strong dedication p90x works. If you aren't completely dedicated to sticking with the program though it won't work. It come's with a meal plan and everything. Also I noticed that some...

  2. Drug test for admission to LVN schools in California?

    pcawiz replied to julivee's topic in California Nursing

    I went to LVN school outside CA (in Indiana) and we never got tested by the school or facility, but it is true that they have you sign a waiver that you will pay for a test if you are asked to submit...

  3. Best place to buy stethoscopes from....

    pcawiz replied to mdcp's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Best thing to do when ordering online is to pay with your credit card. Normally they offer some kind of fraud protection or buyer's protection and can work something out if you get ripped off even...

  4. Didn't pass NCLEX RN

    pcawiz replied to Anyausa215's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I'm sorry you didn't pass the NCLEX. I have been there myself. Long story short, I didn't pass until the 4th attempt which wasn't until about a year after I graduated. The longer you wait to retest...

  5. NCLEX late results

    pcawiz replied to cnacnac126's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Another thought is to call the board of nursing to ask if your file is complete. Sometimes if it is not then it may delay the wait by a long time. Also I think if you are a foreign nurse the...

  6. Kaplan NCLEX-RN review course

    pcawiz replied to Nickie789's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    The question bank was great for getting better acquainted with questions you can expect to be similar to the exam. The answer tree helps on those questions that might stump you. It can be useful to...

  7. Starting LVN program in 2 weeks!!! Advice???

    pcawiz replied to shenshine's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    In my opinion, other than the required text books you should be fine. If you don't have a medical dictionary on your list, it may come in handy especially when reading through some chapters or...

    pcawiz replied to livingdream's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

  9. Ages of male nursing students?

    pcawiz replied to Stearnsy's topic in Male Nursing Students

    In my LPN class there were 4 men including me out of 16 people. In my RN class there were 2 guys including myself out of 14 people. This was in Indiana though and also not in a major

  10. Stethoscope cleaning

    pcawiz replied to CanuckStudent's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I used alcohol wipes from the med room. Our teacher always told us to keep a handful in our pocket at all times, but even then they're only about $5 a box of over 200 at the drug

  11. Best place to buy stethoscopes from....

    pcawiz replied to mdcp's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I found good deals from a local home health pharmacy (it's a pharmacy that sells home health items i.e. adaptive equipment), school book store and ebay. I bought my master cardiology from there for...

  12. Stethoscope for new student

    pcawiz replied to squishy11's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I've had good experience with Littman as my first one through LPN school and first year of RN school, but ended up upgrading to the master cardiology for my last year. The quality of what you can hear...

  13. Ages of male nursing students?

    pcawiz replied to Stearnsy's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I am somewhat of a recent grad, but I was 28 in my RN program, 27 when I was in LPN school. The guys in my classes were close to my age or older up to mid

  14. Can you pass with "D" letter grade EC General Ed Exams?

    pcawiz replied to pebbles57's topic in Online Distance Learning

    In my experience a C or better is required in all general education courses and a B or better is required for all science courses. Our nursing core classes required a C or better to continue on, but...

  15. Kaplan NCLEX-RN: Online or Classroom?

    pcawiz replied to Errn22's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    If you are diligent enough to study on your own the online alone is worth it because the lectures in class are pretty much identical to what you will find online. The only reason I would recommend the...

  16. Kaplan vs NCSBN NCLEX-RN Review

    pcawiz replied to jay4's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I took the nclex 4 times. The first time I was flooded in my town/area and was unable to attend my testing time in Indianapolis. The flooding was all over CNN and people were being evacuated, yet...

  17. California's 2009 New Grad RN Program- Who's hiring right now?

    pcawiz replied to piscesmama's topic in California Nursing

    I would love to be messaged with this list as well. I have been out of school for over a year now and with few opportunities, I'm already looking to retail to do until I can find a nursing
