  1. Nursing school...second times a charm?

    Anne36 replied to geekchic's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Yes, it is very possible to pass the second time around. We just had about 15 new students added to our program during the last quarter that failed last year. Almost all of them are graduating with...

  2. Which is easier - LPN or RN?

    Anne36 replied to Jmiami's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    A part time program seems ideal for anyone who has to work or raise a family. I almost wish I had the option, but Ive never heard of any in this state. It probably gives you more time to absorb...

  3. I don't want to be an RN

    Anne36 replied to sakiohma's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Today was my last day of LPN school and I have had the same feelings. I have done clinical in LTC and Hospital. Although LTC seems like a more difficult job than hospital, I see myself in that setting...

  4. NCLEX-PN

    Anne36 replied to Rockstar21's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    How long will it take until you know for certain? I thought doing the boards on the computer meant test results fast. I just finished school and will begin studying for boards

  5. Psb judgement and comprehension questions for the LPN test

    Anne36 replied to Doyel's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I would have picked B because you need to assess the patient for injuries. What about broken bones? Mabye there could be a hip fracture or worse. The patient cant get any worse being left in place...

  6. ALL of this for nothing....

    Anne36 replied to FaithGurl93's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I feel the same way somtimes. I am in the last week and cant remember half of what we went thru, I think thats normal. I dont understand the rest of your question. You need a 3200 NCLEX? If you are...

  7. Yes, it's possible to go to nursing school and work full time...

    Anne36 replied to Joe V's topic in General Students

    I think that has a lot to do with the school and the students family obligations. Not all schools require the same # of clinical hours for example. My school has us in class 2 days a week, 2 days...

  8. OCC New Admission Criteria

    Anne36 replied to rystle's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Can someone clarify the new requirements for me, because Im confused. Am I correct in stating that you still need to complete the 11 pre-reqs but they are only basing your GPA off the

  9. Where are the supplies?

    Anne36 replied to makes needs known's topic in General Nursing

    Thats what I want to know. I was thinking this would be about LTC. God forbid you need to take an oral temp because I have never seen a probe cover since I have been at my current facility or an extra...

  10. Happy LVN/LPN

    Anne36 replied to Janc1986's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I thought of psych nursing as an LPN when I graduate, but we never had a psych class in the program. Wretched Nurse, did you have psych in LPN school? Im confused why the boards are what they are for...

  12. WCCCD nursing fall 2012 hopefuls!

    Anne36 replied to wcccd_rn_student's topic in Michigan Nursing

    The 80% passing score has been in place for the last couple of years. 80% doesnt seem hard to get in pre-req's but it can be in nursing, especially because you dont get much chance for points, so you...

  13. Which is easier - LPN or RN?

    Anne36 replied to Jmiami's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Easier isnt exactly the word I would use to describe the difference between LPN and RN school. It isnt "easier" to do LPN school. At least not at my school. IN my program, we do the first year of RN...

    Anne36 replied to newrnltc's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Anne36 replied to GaJordyLPN's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I just wrote my term paper on Nurse to Patient staffing ratios. MI is trying to get mandated ratios for their nurses and I was shocked when I read the Bill. It didnt say a word about Long Term Care....

  16. OCC - for Fall 2012 or Jan 2012 prospective students!

    Anne36 replied to IHeartPeds87's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Good luck to everyone in next years class. Im finishing up in the LPN program and we also have less than half of our original class left. Whosyurdaddy had the best advice. We do have a couple of girls...

  17. Acceptable questions for nursing students to ask?

    Anne36 replied to linnywho's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Ive been in LPN school the last year and I agree those questions are too invasive. I was suprised when we first started the nosy quesitons they wanted us to ask. I understand it is coming from the...

    Anne36 replied to cna23's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Anne36 replied to dragonfly414's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I get a mixed bag. Sometimes he is verbally supportive, but I still have full responsiblity for the house and kids. Since I started my pre-reqs Ive only been able to get student loans for 2 semesters...

  25. OCC Nursing program

    Anne36 replied to mmsgurl18's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Im surprised, that isnt exactly the change I would have expected. How is that going to narrow the applicants down? It sounds easier to get in, not harder. I wouldnt worry about the math and reading...
