  1. Help!!! Did anyone take the test on a Friday?

    mrsraisinkain replied to trilly34's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I'm with you on this one.. I took the NCLEX PN this morning and can't help but check the Pearson website constantly. The lady at the center told me I could check for my results as soon as this evening...

  2. When did the computer stop for your NCLEX Exam?

    mrsraisinkain replied to newcalvn's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I just took my test this morning and I stopped at 85 questions. I'm scared to death and even though it's only been about 5 hours I can't help myself from checking the results website q15 minutes. Good...

  3. nursing schools in ohio(dayton area?)

    mrsraisinkain replied to abbey_lane's topic in Ohio Nursing

    My date of completion for the LPN program was March 27 and I just got my ATT June 25. Like you said, the board is backed up, but it still took RETS almost a month to send our paperwork in in the first...

  4. Can someone please help with TB test reading?

    mrsraisinkain replied to PaperxXxFlowers's topic in General Nursing

    I would definitely call and get more information because my understanding of a 2-step TB test is the same as what the others posted. When you call though make sure they're aware you had a TB test...

  5. LPN programs in Southern Ohio...

    mrsraisinkain replied to SoccerMom_78's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I live in the Dayton area and the schools here I know of are RETS, Hondros, and Miami Valley Career Technology Center. I heard of one in Xenia called Ohio Holistic or something like that but I heard...

  6. How long to wait for ATT

    mrsraisinkain replied to NewenglandMSNRNBC's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Where are you? LPN or RN? I'm in Ohio and the BON received my registration from my school on April 22. I am still waiting for my ATT. On their website it says they're swamped and may take up to 30...

  8. Decided to go Medical Assistant and discouraged

    mrsraisinkain replied to coffee4metech's topic in General Nursing

    Same here in my area - a nurse aid makes as much or even a little more than an MA. And at my school the MA program is 18 months while the LPN program is 12 months. The LPN program is much more intense...

  9. CNA, RN....Which One?

    mrsraisinkain replied to my3whys's topic in General Nursing

    I would begin checking with local nursing homes. Around here some of them will train you and pay for your state test if you agree to work for them for a certain amount of time. You can also look at...

  10. CNA, RN....Which One?

    mrsraisinkain replied to my3whys's topic in General Nursing

  11. Hello Kitty aneroid sphygmomanometer at DNI

    mrsraisinkain replied to bcskittlez's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Those weren't what her questions were. And I'm worried about what her concerns are because she posted them on a public forum. We shall have to agree to disagree on this

  12. Hello Kitty aneroid sphygmomanometer at DNI

    mrsraisinkain replied to bcskittlez's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Nobody said she couldn't like Hello Kitty. It's just one would expect somebody about to start nursing school would have a lot more concerns other than making sure they can carry a backpack and wear...

  13. Stethoscopes for Clinicals

    mrsraisinkain replied to JumpingIn's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I used a Littman SE II Lightweight and loved it. I could hear everything I need to. It was a birthday present but I think my parents paid about $50 for it - and that was with my name engraved on

  16. Yay! I gotta brag a moment (exit HESI)

    mrsraisinkain replied to mrsraisinkain's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Thanks so much guys. My last two days of school were pretty painful. We sat in an auditorium from 8 - 4:30 listening to a lady giving us an nclex review. I have to admit I didn't give her much...

  18. My final dosage calculation. Please help.

    mrsraisinkain replied to deemarys's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    One of the hardest parts of dosage calculations for me is picking out what information I actually need to answer the question. You said you usually have 3 numbers to do the calculation. Where you...

    mrsraisinkain replied to tnlpn8's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I am just about done with LPN school and I posted a very similar thread to this when I started. I read some stuff before I started school and to be honest with you it didn't really help at all. First...

  20. who's getting ready to graduate????

    mrsraisinkain replied to picurn10's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I had my last day of clinicals yesterday. I take my exit HESI test next Tuesday then I have two days of NCLEX review next Thursday and Friday. If I do well on my HESI on Tuesday then Friday is my last...

    mrsraisinkain replied to lovehospital's topic in General Nursing

  23. NCLEX-RN Books... Good for anything right now?

    mrsraisinkain replied to robm06's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I don't think you need any kind of NCLEX book to review for the program. You will get PLENTY of books once you're in school. My tuition even included the Saunders NCLEX-PN review

  24. christmas card exchange 2008

    mrsraisinkain replied to rn-jane's topic in General Nursing

    I was so embarrassed I already got a card and hadn't started on mine yet. I've been working my little fingers to the bone to get caught up. What's wrong with cloud-covered Ohio? Don't you think it's...

    mrsraisinkain replied to DarkOrchid's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Daytonite - along these lines... what's your advise in this situation? I was in a clinical group (10 students plus me) including one woman that is very negative. She laughs out loud at people in class...
