  1. Getting license w/ unpaid medical bills?

  2. LVN Being used It's already starting

  3. Summer prep for Fundamentals ?

    I would wait for the syllabus. I start med-surg in the fall and Im waiting for mine. When I started Fundamentals it was 2 weeks after Pharm ended so we didnt really have any early prep time. I would...
  4. NSO Insurance

    Eh, we have to purchase this insurance for Nursing
  5. Dark age testing policy

    That sounds very similar to my school test policy. Our instructor usually tells us the correct answers 1 week later but there is no discussion about it (so how can we learn?) I cant remember the test...
  6. Rest of summer off from school... now what ?

    My final exam was the 27th. Im taking a mental break initially. Wish we had more time off. Its not really more than 6 weeks when you factor in the fact that we have exams the first day of school so I...

  9. how much do you make a month? new LPN

    Brace myself indeed, I almost dropped to the floor hearing that. Honestly if it was me, I would quit and wait tables before I would work as a nurse for that kind of money. This almost reminds me of...
  10. Just got my final back, 97/100 very pleased. Dont think Im not still stressing about med-surg, lol. Cant wait until school is over, hope first job is not this
  11. Advice to the LTC nurse...

    I was just curious, even if the LTC nurse gives you a baseline for this patient will you really acknowlege or use it when assessing your patient? Mabye Im wrong, but I am sensing a lack of respect for...
  12. Our final is tommorow too! Very much looking forward to the summer. Big accomplishment to get thru each semester isnt it? Have you lost very many students this last semester? I think we have lost...
  13. How many use a car for class/clinicals?

    A car is an absolute must for school and clinicals where I live. We dont have public transportation in the outlying metro Detroit area. Even if we did, I cant imagine using it, it would be way too...
  14. Thanks whour, the LPN program is basically the same exact thing as the first year of the RN program. We dont learn less, the only difference is that we have a transitional class toward the end of our...
  15. Moving to the UP

    Im right behind you as soon as I finish school. I have a step-sister who works in Houghton area hospital. I also have family up north and would love to move there. The only downside is that the pay...
  16. Hi everyone. I am just starting Pharm on Jan 11. So far I have been reading through the assigned materials and today I am trying out some IV calculations. Has anyone else started Pharm or will be...

  18. Okay, today we had a Test in Nur 1410. I would say that this is officially the first Test we have had that I would call difficult. I did study and was even surprised at the available answers to the...
  19. Private Loan Debt Stressed Out New Grad! HELP!

    You are in good company. Sorry I dont have any advice, just know you are not alone. So many people in other fields besides nursing are struggling to pay off loans and find work after graduation. Good...
  20. Does anybody really care?

    Have you been giving care the way you were trained? Mabye if other cna see the quality of care you give it will rub off on them. Im sure your residants and nurses will appreciate you. Do you think...
  21. Yes, I have also been in that situation. All of my Profs had bad ratings, and a couple of them actually deserved it. I still managed to get my A though! What this usually means is that the class is...
  22. Know-it-all nursing students?

    No, I havent really encountered that attitude so far. Im in the Nursing program and have been asked by nursing aids about how and what is needed to get into my particular program. I love to be helpful...
  23. Health care costs are RIDICULOUS!!!!

    Agreed, that has been my cheif complaint for a while now. Its not JUST the fact that my health insurance premiums have been 800/mo for the past 2years but the fact that after that, I cant even afford...
