having a very difficult time in school. not easy at all. lvn school was hard but the rn program is not fun at all.

thanks to those that replied. i am really frustrated with myself. hopefully i can get through this.

help. i have been an lvn for 6 yrs. and i have recently started the rn program. i am having the hardes time in school. i have just below passing average and this is really bothering me. im not used to have such low grades. even though lvn school was hard this is the worst. maybe im not understanding the way the questions are being asked. i thought that since i work in a hospital on a med-surg unit it would help. but im just not grasping the test. i know the material but when it comes to the test i just bomb. now im wanting to throw in the towel. this is very frustrating. any advice?

i am currently going through the transition program. in school 3 days a week and clinicals 2 days a week. working at the hospital on fri nite and sat nite. not working working on sun nites only because of school on monday. well, not at the hospital on sunday nites. work sunday and monday nite 12 hours sitting with a elderly patient. that way i can have some study time away from home without interruption. yes i do work 12 hours on fri and sat nites at hospital. this will be this way for 4 more wks. then i will go back to fri-sun nite at hospital. and still will be sitting during the week only because school will not last all day.

through excelsior is lifespan a course and test or just a test. have gone through the website and can only find where to register for the test. nothing about registering for the course. any help will do. thanks

excelsior college graduate

i sent them everything myself. a friend of mine is having hers sent by the college she attended

ive already sent in the info last monday through snail mail.

i know i've seen it here before just couldnt find it. how long after sending in application will you rcv your eval from excelsior. i am sitting and waiting. its only been a week but i am getting antsy.

my daughters doc didnt wait. once baby was out she pulled on the cord and the cord broke. so guess what, she went in up to her elbow, no lie, i was standing right there and manually extracted it. no pain medicine. OUCH!!!

tell her to try the 90 degree angle. there is burning with lovenox. just remember not to rub the site since it is a form of heparin it will cause bleeding and bruising under the skin. also do not use any type of warm compress for the reasons listed above. continue to give in the belly since there is more tissue there to absorb the med. hope this helps

what does the content involve. i had to take a nursing computers class prior to starting lvn school and then when i was taking prereqs for rn at the community i had to take another computer class that was required.

thanks for the info. will call them and let you know how goes.

me and a friend are going to do the excelsior program. was wondering are the cpne days 8 or 12 hour days. i know that the first day is basically skills, are the other day and a half assesments and critical elments? want to know now so that not surprised when get to that part

thanks alot. will use that information
