  1. Being Pregnant in Nursing School

    I don't think being pregnant during school will be that difficult- timing wise- since you are halfway through. But things do not always go as smoothly as planned...what if you get hyper emesis? Or...
  2. Based on your post, I don't think it is for you. It takes concentration and tons of
  3. Why did you choose LPN instead of RN?

    I chose the LPN program because I have little -to- no desire to become an RN first and foremost, but I did consider it- because hey who wouldn't like to make a little more money? I am by no means...
  4. Need some input

    Ditto. They will break it down for you so you need not be a CNA. If you have NO medical background, go to the library and get some anatomy books, possibly terminology so you feel a little more...
  5. When do things pick up?

    I was wondering when the dropping out would happen too- becuase there are some that aren't doing well already. Thanks for the
  6. When do things pick up?

    I am only into the program about a month and so far everything is going well...I am averaging about a 97% on of my tests. My question is.....when do we get into more LPN stuff than CNA stuff? I...
  7. Frustrated & Depressed!!!!

    Sorry to hear that, perhaps some people will drop out just before and make room for a few more (you)
  8. NCLEX-PN Stopped @ 175

    From what I understand the test 'feels' you out, and asks enough questions until it either feels you know the material or you don't. If is skipped around, maybe you answered them just fine and it...
  9. This is premature for me but I am just curious ..... What is the benefit to waiting to test? My school said that we can test within a few weeks of graduation. Are there people purposely waiting...
  10. Started LPN program on Monday!!!!!

    Isn't it exciting? I started a couple of weeks ago as well... I am enjoying it however I cannot wait to get my hands on someone! :chuckle LOL The book part of learning is so dry. I don't think...
  11. new student

    That's awesome! I just started myself, in my 30's. Looking forward to sharing
  12. ATI testing

    We just got ours so I have not used it yet but it looks amazing. Anything to help my probability of passing the NCLEX is OK in my book! It is totally optional to our school whether we use it or not...
  13. I need advice on what to do I am scared..

    I say go for it. Don't be scared....You will have to make sacrifices in the meantime but it will be worth it in the long run. Just living with your parents is a huge plus. I wish I would have taken...
  14. Bad clinical day..

    I was not there- I do not know how rough they were with her- which there is NO excuse for- so telling your instructor is all you can do. LPN students cannot report abuse. As far as not speaking to...
  15. Well, I have heard all of the 'horror' stories, LOL. You know~ how LPN school 'ends life as you know it'. How it is like a 'Boot Camp' and you can 'say good bye to your loved ones for a year'. Well I...
  16. Starting "Boot Camp"- Question ???

    I hear ya...I am taking night classes, and nights are the only time I get to see my husband- so now we are down to just weekends! I hope we adjust! Good luck to you
  17. A little help please...I'm kinda desperate

    I am paying closer to $8,000. Then I have to pay additional for my books and uniforms. I am quite sure I will end up working in LTC as they do not hire LPN's at hospitals here in my part of NYS....
  18. Clinicals

    Are those hours different than your normal class hours? I am supposed to have classes in the evening from 4-10pm. I assume they will make me do clinicals during the 3-11 shift when I do LTC...
  19. Clinicals

    Luckily, I have a part time job that is flexible.....but how are the people who work full time supposed to keep their jobs? I can only assume the will be many 7-3 CNA's that will be taking class with...
  20. Nursing Entrance Test ( Net)

    I did not buy any books and I did well. And I have not been in school in 18 years! On the test I took, I had to brush up on math...long division, fractions, graphs, and basic algebra. There was a...
  21. Perhaps the problem I have with your post is the delivery. "Ugly get ups" and "halloween" hardly pay tribute the countless nurses before us. Tradition is important to a lot of people, in fact-I have...
  22. Sorry. I think you are being completely rude. It is an honor to graduate as a NURSE and so I think you should put on your cap and be happy about it. Later you'll be complaining that people don't...
  23. Starting LPN program Monday!!

    I start in two weeks! I am excited too! Let us know how it
  24. New start date, feel anxious, need advice...

    I would be concerned too especially on whether or not you are strong enough to withstand clinicals. Are you going to be able to care for patients and keep up with the other students in your current...
  25. Just took the NCLEX-PN ! Oh my LORD!

    That's crazy! I am scared now too and I don't even start classes for a couple weeks! Thank god for this site, at least I will have somewhere to seek help!!! Good luck! I hope you passed. When do...
