  1. pn boards

    natrgrrl replied to lpnmotherof3's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I believe SATA stands for select all that

  2. Update to "I thought it would be easier to get a job"

    natrgrrl replied to TangoLima's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I'm having a difficult time, too. I can't talk to anyone!!!! Why is that? Thanks for sharing your story. I think I am going to go try that "sitting in the office" approach to see if it gets me...

  3. New to this school thing and have a tuition question

    natrgrrl replied to kiss04bam's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Financial aid is wonderful. All the hoops you have to jump through really stink! Luckily, this year our school let us keep an account at the bookstore and then they automatically deducted it somehow....

  4. Things you would love to say to your fellow nursing students!

    natrgrrl replied to Faeriewand's topic in General Students

    1. Quit telling me about yourself. I don't care. As a matter of fact, I don't even like you! 2. Quit gossiping to me. You are making it extremely difficult for me to keep my New Year's Resolution of...

  5. Waiting for my ATT...

    natrgrrl replied to selby08's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I'm waiting for ATT, too (PN). The assistant director at our school said that the earliest we should even hope for is June 1. We graduated May 10 but finals were on the 13th. Congrats on your...

  6. Do I have any options????

    natrgrrl replied to stressedrnstudent's topic in General Nursing

    I think the LPN option depends on your state BON. My advice is to find a job working around nurses while you wait to get readmitted to the program. I'm sorry that happened to you but in the meantime...

  7. How much clinical time did you get in school?

    natrgrrl replied to jcaste's topic in General Nursing

    There are so many nursing schools in our area that we only got 2 days of clinical working up from 6 hr days to 8 hrs. Then we had to share the floor with other nursing schools sometimes so it was a...

  8. ATI DVDs for review

    natrgrrl posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Hi everyone, I was wondering if anyone has used the review books and DVDs from ATI. I just got some from ebay and I hope they are going to be helpful. It also comes with Ready Set RN. If anyone knows...

  9. What Books should I expect?

    natrgrrl replied to NycCutie's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    We were required to have a gait belt with us at all times because it was considered part of our uniform. That being said, I brought it with me every day but just left it in my car or bag because every...

  10. ATI DVDs for review

    natrgrrl replied to natrgrrl's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    If you ebay, this would be a good time for you to sell. There have only been a few to bid on over the last month and I think they all have quite a few bids. So, were the DVDs that

  11. What Books should I expect?

    natrgrrl replied to NycCutie's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Don't forget Pharmacology w/study guide and mental health nursing. The books are expensive but don't forget about the fun stuff you get to buy like bandage scissors, gait belt, lab coat, stethoscope...

  12. How can I Prepare for LPN school

    natrgrrl replied to Katie76's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Congratulations on getting into nursing school. I remember how excited I was last summer, probably like you are now. I am finished with all my classes now and just waiting to take my final and finish...

  13. New grad doesn't like new job!

    natrgrrl replied to sunandsand's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Talk about a kick in the ego! :sstrs: I agree with another poster, though. Find a quick updo for your hair add a little color to your cheeks or lips. It won't change your look too much and won't take...

  14. Choosing Grad Schools

    natrgrrl posted a topic in Post Graduate Students

    Hi everyone, How did you choose your school? I have narrowed down my list to 2 schools in my area. They are both completely different. What questions do I need to ask myself and the schools in order...

  15. Choosing Grad Schools

    natrgrrl replied to natrgrrl's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Thanks grad*student. I think one thing I overlooked was how I feel on campus. I feel awkward looking at grad schools right now but I have to have my application for RN to MSN in to one of the schools...

  16. How many hours a week is your LVN program?

    natrgrrl replied to chickapea's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    We have a 9 month program divided into 3 quarters with class on Mondays from 8-3:30 and clinicals on Tuesdays and Wednesdays from 7-2pm or 2-9pm. I think this is the first year that they squished all...

  17. Teach me how to document--PLEASE!

    natrgrrl posted a topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I really need some help with documentation. During clinical, my instructor would tell me to write more and be more descriptive but never gave me any guidelines or expectations. I will graduate--God...

  18. NCLEX Eligibility

    natrgrrl replied to MysticalSeeker's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Good

  19. help need advice!!! please....

    natrgrrl replied to tinaanne's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I can't remember everything either. What helps me the most is knowing why the s/s are related to the disease. When I understand why it happens it stays in my mind. For some reason, flashcards aren't...

  20. First Day of classes!!!

    natrgrrl replied to TiffanyJB's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I will finish my LPN program in a few weeks. I can't believe I am almost finished! The time goes by so quickly and you will be amazed at how much information you will have in you head by the middle of...

  22. Someone had a good idea!!

    natrgrrl posted a topic in LPN, LVN Students

    LPN/LVN student section is a good idea. Thanks. I just want to say hello my fellow LPN students. I have a general question. Do you feel your classes covered enough content? Our classes are finished in...

  23. Respiratory Therapy if Not accepted to Nursing

    natrgrrl replied to ssnva1's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think it depends partly on how much you are depending on financial aid. If you get halfway through RT school are you going to quit and transfer to nursing if you get accepted? If that happens, you...

  24. Online Classes

    natrgrrl replied to Lorrie1964's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Do you need the actual credits for the class or do you just need to learn the information? I took a great medical terminology class online (text and website listed below). It was only one quarter and...

  25. Teach me how to document--PLEASE!

    natrgrrl replied to natrgrrl's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Thanks Dierdra. I think I am confusing my shift assessment with report for the oncoming shift. Maybe I should eliminate diagnoses for shift assessment and add them to the report? What do you think?...
