  1. Nln-pax???

    WVlpn2b posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm sorry if this has been discussed elsewhere -- I can't even find the thread I started on it a few weeks ago. I'm scheduled to take the NLN-PAX on 6/5 for admission into an RN program. I see lots...

  2. Any older people in pre-nursing?

    WVlpn2b replied to Dancinagain's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  3. should I cut my hair?

    WVlpn2b replied to picurn10's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I'd cut it -- I did, actually. :) You can always grow it later. Mine is chin length -- a "graduated" bob: very short on the nape and wedged in the back and a little longer in front. Very little...

  5. "Performance" Anxiety?

    WVlpn2b replied to cherubhipster's topic in General Students

    I'm so happy to see this thread! I'm scared out of my mind -- actually even posted a thread about it yesterday. I start in a month, "cold" as well. I have a CNA license as a requirement for the LPN...

  7. A&P II Summer, WHERE DO I START?

    WVlpn2b replied to narussian's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have it this summer, too, and it is going to be a bear! We just started Monday. My advice is to hit the ground running! What helps me learn is repetition, repetition and repetition. Each...

  9. Nln-pax???

    WVlpn2b replied to WVlpn2b's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    WVlpn2b replied to WVlpn2b's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Thank you! Actually, the examiner led me to believe that I did very well, and I am pretty sure I did well on the written part also. But I was SO nervous; my legs felt like cooked spaghetti! I was...

    WVlpn2b replied to Sandy_dfw's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    WVlpn2b posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    WVlpn2b posted a topic in LPN, LVN Students

    WVlpn2b posted a topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

  17. Finished Clinical; Have Questions

    WVlpn2b replied to WVlpn2b's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Oh, I completely agree, that as an outsider looking in, I can't know all the ins and outs of what goes on. And I know that an aide with a full patient load, or one who is even having to cover for...

  23. IV Certification?

    WVlpn2b posted a topic in LPN, LVN Corner
