  1. Just took the NCLEX-PN exam ahhh

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

    How was the exam? Did the studying you did prior prepare you? I just took my OB final today and I could not believe the questions, they were nothing that I studied

    Anne36 replied to Kimberly6891's topic in Michigan Nursing

  3. Discouraged after first day training on new job :(

    Anne36 replied to SP1CEGRL's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    OP, your post really caught my attention. Im still in school and learning a lot. We do learn a lot of Nursing DX, and interventions, etc. Where does all this come into play in the extended care...

  5. My strange anxiety

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

    I had to do a urine drug screen just to start LPN school! Who said anything about watching you pee? The attendant made sure I didnt take anything in the bathroom with me and shut the

  6. LPNs and LPN students, be PROUD!

    Anne36 replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Sounds all too familiar of a story. Im an LPN student and all I hear is that we must go on to get our RN. I encourage my younger classmates to roll with that, but I am not sure I can take another year...

  7. Day in the life of a nursing student?

    Anne36 replied to Looking_ahead's topic in General Students

    If you have a family or children all your free time is basically doing laundry, shopping, cooking if possible etc. My house is a mess , there are just not enough hours in the day. The only reason Im...

  8. Day in the life of a nursing student?

    Anne36 replied to Looking_ahead's topic in General Students

    In Nursing school I have found everyone to be very friendly so far and those who are able can form study groups. Sometimes it just depends because people are spread out and dont live close by. For my...

  9. Celebrating the halfway point!

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

    I am also half way thru and just pray that I make it to Christmas break. I am seriously mentally and physically exhausted. This program is making me feel physically ill, I was nauseated at the...

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

    Anne36 replied to IHeartPeds87's topic in Michigan Nursing

    By the way I just got another APA paper back last week and got 100% even tho I am not a good

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

    Anne36 replied to IHeartPeds87's topic in Michigan Nursing

    That depends on what you mean by "hard". If you talking to a student in Fundamentals that is way easier than med-surg and OB. Its not hard as in you cant understand or comprehend the material. Its...

  12. Did you find Med-Surg class much harder than fundamentals?

    Anne36 replied to northmississippi's topic in General Students

    The way our program is designed it is just harder because our workload increases. The exams come every week instead of every other week. We got a bit more lab work and an extra project thrown into our...

  13. Is it too easy to become a LVN nowadays??

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

    Im still in school right now and our program is anything but easy. We work very hard and spend a lot of time studying and doing assignments. I think the hardest part is the amount of material to cover...

  14. Nurse: 'I was fired for refusing flu shot'

    Anne36 replied to DesertRN2's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I was forced to get the flu shot again today. Yes, I could have chosen another profession but that is not the point. The point is that I should be able to make my own healthcare decisions no matter...

  15. New nurse in Labor and Delivery

    Anne36 replied to KER5050's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Hi, I am a nursing student who is starting my labor and delivery clinical tommorow. I will be assigned a laboring patient and need to perform a standard head to toe assessment. How do you accomplish...

  16. 15 yr. LPN- should I "bother"?

    Anne36 replied to egglady's topic in LPN to RN

    If you are willing to make sacrafices then go for it. I would really sit down and think about the costs. Do you need to take out student loans? How will you pay your bills if you have to take time off...

  17. Should I drop out?

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

    No, I dont think you should drop out. Over 90% is excellent, its just this Nursing school grading system is so difficult. If you were going to school for anything else you would be at the top of your...

  18. Hardest course in Lpn

    Anne36 replied to mom3student's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Hi, so far I would have to say my current class Med-Surg. What is so hard this semester is not as much the material, but the amount of material we are expected to cover. In Foundations, we had 2 weeks...

  19. That is IT; have had it with nursing...I'm going insane!

    Anne36 replied to carolmaccas66's topic in General Nursing

    What other kind of work can you do as a Nurse? Im feeling like crap already, Nursing school is so bad that I have decided to forget the RN and just work as an LPN in longterm care. I am so invested...

  20. Juggling life in LPN school

    Anne36 replied to asmith79's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    If you dont have to work full time, cut back. I have 4 kids and do not work, but my home life is like having a part time job minimum. I find it difficult to get my homework done and get enough sleep....

  21. Controversial new policies at Baylor!!!!

    Anne36 replied to tele jelly's topic in General Nursing

    I wonder what they plan to do with the information in the long run? If you screen for Nicotene you are out, next will it be BMI because that is under your control too as part of a healthy diet and...

  22. OCC - 2010 applicants / 2011 ADN prospective students

    Anne36 replied to MsStephh_RN's topic in Michigan Nursing

    whosur, med-surg "seems" hard? I dont know if I am going to make it, if it gets worse than this. I'll tell ya what, we just started and I am barely scraping by. I had my first exam today and did well,...

  23. OCC - 2010 applicants / 2011 ADN prospective students

    Anne36 replied to MsStephh_RN's topic in Michigan Nursing

    "Amy", have fun in foundations. I just started back today and already whining about the workload. Med-Surg seems worse than last semester foundations. After next week, it will be an exam every single...

  24. Frustrated Prospective Nursing Student

    Anne36 replied to alyssailbella's topic in Michigan Nursing

    If your heart is in it, I would retake the classes over and use the LPN route to get started at OCC. I think the cutoff was a 3.6 last year for the LPN. They only calculate gpa of 6 classes to get...

  25. Financial Aid Problems

    Anne36 replied to Emt05's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I have been told by some of my classmates that they had similar problems, denied because they have too many credits. They were taken by surprise at the last minute with this because before that they...
