Sweetmya, I tried to respond to your pm, but it said that you had exceded your storare and could not send it so I will post it for you here: I'm sorry, but I really can't tell you anything other then what I wrote in the thread. Take your time, don't ...

I tried to do 1-2 chapters a night. I got through about 50-75% of the book. Mostly just try to read over the pyamid points. I tried to concentrate on the systems and areas that I knew I had problems with. I did the test questions and then read the ra...

This is the review book that I used. http://www.amazon.com/Saunders-Comprehensive-Review-NCLEX-PN-Examination/dp/1416000526/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1247287354&sr=8-3 and I used these too. http://www.amazon.com/Saunders-Review-Car...

Thanks everyone.

I am starting to feel like I got off a little easy. I have my LPN pinning in 8 weeks. My marriage is the same. My husband occasionally complains about feeling neglected, but not very often. My daughter is getting to the age that she is more intereste...

Thank so much for the information. I really appreciate it.

I used to work with a guy who named his son Austin Scott Smith*. He didn't realize until 6 years later, when we pointed it out to him, what initals he gave him. :chuckle *Last name changed to preseve anonymity

I had 9 tats when I started and it has never been an issue. I even have one on my hand (a tribal butterfly) that I considered getting removed, but I have gotten a lot of compliments on it from both nurses and patients at clinicals. It actually is a b...

Sounds a lot like my school. Thankfully, I am almost done I just have 9 more weeks left. It is very stressful, but it has forced my class to learn how to work together as a team. It has made us a VERY tight group. I won't lie to you. It has been hell...

I am finally seeing a light at the end of the tunnel. Our last day is a 12 hour clinical day on June 6th. Our pinning date is on June 15th. :grad: now that I am getting so close I am starting to have a minor freak out about passing the NCLEX. We a...

OMG! I am soooo glad to know that I am not the only one who does that.

I have nursing central on mine. It has Davis' drug guide, Davis' lab and diagnostic tests, Diseases and Disorders, Medline Journals, and Taber's. It is offered by Unbound Medicine. I use it constantly. http://www.unboundmedicine.com/store/nursing_ce...

Thank you so much for the reminder to see past my own issues to really benifit other people.

I am in my second term and we are due to start on our clinicals on the 15th. I am getting sooooo nervous. All that they have told us is that they are going to split our class in half and send us to two separate places. No one knows where we are going...

Good for you. That is just disgusting behavior by the doctor.

Thanks so much for the advice. Knowning it will eventually get easier (or at least less terrifying ) makes me feel much better.

I have a few people like that in my class. I feel bad for them to a point, but I don't let it get to me. I have heard a lot of excuses from them. They don't have any more going on in their lives then I do, yet I can find time to study. Don't let it g...

thank you everyone for your suggestions. I really appreciate it :icon_hug:

Sorry, never even been an issue for me. I was very happily married when I started nursing school. I snagged myself a very good mechanic. Free automotive work for life.

I actually have a girlfriend/boyfriend team in my class. He is the competative type. She really isn't. It seems to work out really great for them. Personally, I couldn't do it. My hubby would drive me nuts! :chuckle

Thank you so much for this. I loved it. :redpinkhe

I have been doing some reseach on some of the LPN-ADN programs in the Kansas City area. I understand that quite a few of them have a long wait list. I have looked into Penn Valley and Park University mostly. If anyone has any experience taking or gra...

When I was younger (up to 6 y/o) I spent a lot of time in hospitals. I am an epileptic. I started having Grand Mal seizures when I was 5 months old. I would have them 4-5 times a week, even with medication. I have had almost every test, known to man,...

I have been fighting something like that for almost 6 weeks now. Except I didn't get the nausea. I just can't seem to shake the cough. I almost get rid of it and then the dang thing just comes back again. :angryfire
