That website is awesome! Thanks for all the info everyone! It is greatly appreciated !!

Our instructor takes 5 points off of your grade everytime your cell phone rings......needless to say, they stopped going off in class.

I am in an LPN program and we are going to learn IV's next semester with 105 and 106. We are going to have an IV day at a clinical site where all we do is start IV's all day long.

I find it easy as well. I LOVE the critical thinking aspect of the exams. It's more fun and a lot more exciting than regurgitating memorized material. I am an older student (36) and nursing will be a second career for me. I do prefer the analytical a...

Why I chose nursing? -- Aside from breaking free from my cubicle prison !!My dream has always been to become a nurse and care for the elderly. I absolutely love our senior citizens and want to give back to them in a kind, caring and professional ma...

Can LPN's start IV's? I know they can't push meds in an IV.... Just curious. :monkeydance:

I use a rolling back-pack and my spine totally appreciates it!!!

They still take the best ( top %). At my college they don't look at as many classes for points as the RN program does. They look at ENG 101, MTH 100, Compass or ACT reading score, BIO 201 and 202. A=30 pts B=20 C=10 or 5..can't remember. Max for ...

It is very competitive down here in Alabama. I am having to go the LPN route to get my RN. I think in our case ( and possibly everywhere else ) there are not enough nurses willing to teach, they make more money working in the field than in the clas...
