  1. I FEEL LIKE I'VE MADE AN ABSOLUTE MISTAKE BECOMING AN LVN! I regret doing this!

    Anne36 replied to luckystudentnurseRN's topic in California Nursing

    Anne36 replied to boat's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Anne36 replied to freesia29's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Me too. I just finished pre-req for LPN and the program starts in Jan. Still waiting to see if I get accepted. I was going to keep doing the pre-reqs for RN but ran into money

  4. Nursing PreReq in 1 1/2 years.

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

    You can finish it but can you get the gpa that you need? That is the problem I have seen with many people who take on a full load. They end up having to retake the classes because they get a B+...

  5. Do you guys see a lot of people saying they are nursing students....

    Anne36 replied to ~Mi Vida Loca~RN's topic in General Students

    At my school I have not seen anyone do that. I only tell people that I just applied to the program if they ask. Before that I said unsure or just doing gen-eds. Its so hard to get into the program I...

  6. Refusing Mandatory Vaccination

    Anne36 replied to vanillagerm's topic in General Students

    If nursing students are not adequetly immunized then that would lead us to believe that the entire adult population is not immunized even though we all had our shots as children. If this is true then...

    Anne36 replied to vanillagerm's topic in General Students

    "The varicella vaccine has been in widespread use since the mid-nineties. They are not experimental. " ROFLOL, a vaccine that has been around for a certain amount of time is your proof that it is not...

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

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

  11. How do you all feel about grading classmate's work?

    Anne36 replied to aem31's topic in General Students

  12. trying to become a RN

    Anne36 replied to branch2010's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Brave is a good word for that. At my school it isnt even an option, you have to complete the non-nursing classes first before you apply. For those starting from the ground up that could be 12- 15...

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

    Do you and your husband have a plan for retirement yet? Not being nosy, but if you are 47 and plan to work another 20 years then it might be worthwhile for you to get your RN. Job security is not what...

  15. Is 50+ pages of reading a week "normal?"

    Anne36 replied to Spikey9001's topic in General Students

    50 pages a week sounds like A&P reading. The thing that I found was that I had to read each chapter at least 2-3 times to understand and remember it. I would highlight portions that were in my...

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

    We never used the lab manual but I do have the same textbook. What chapters are the errors

  21. Why do you want to be a nurse?

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

    Anne36 replied to Elizabeth 123's topic in Pre-Nursing Students
