1. Fat Lpn Student

   MomInTraining replied to MerrieCNA's topic in LPN/LVN Students

   I honestly don't have much to say, I just wanted to let you know that not all people are the same and I for one view a person for who they are not what they look like. If it continues with this teacher it may be wise to pull her aside and ask her why...

2. so when is it wrong to stand for unfairness...

   MomInTraining replied to Movin'onUP's topic in LPN/LVN Students

   While I do feel you should have taken her aside, I am sure a lot of us do not know what prompted this conversation to take publicly. You stated you did not want to name names out loud but the teacher pushed you to do so. It seems to me by her behavi...

3. Typical class session

   MomInTraining replied to hisgu74's topic in LPN/LVN Students

   Week 1 for me I sit in class all day from 8am to 3pm. We get two breaks and an hour for lunch. This is complete lecture time. We will study a module for 1 to 2 days then test out on it and move on to the next module. Week 2 for me is Lab/Clinical the...

4. Is the NAT really necessary?

   MomInTraining replied to Patrick57's topic in LPN/LVN Students

   While I had no problems with the NET either, many people have strong and weak points. I know one girl prior to myself entering the group had a terrible trouble passing the math part of the test she went on to become a very good nurse and even aced me...

5. How do you like your LPN program?

   MomInTraining replied to cz890's topic in LPN/LVN Students

   It amazes me how some schools are doing this sort of thing. Being that I am only a very new student to my school. (2 weeks) I have had nothing but positive experiences. In fact they are constantly telling us never to stop learning. They encourage us...

7. 85% for a passing grade!!

   MomInTraining replied to duling's topic in LPN/LVN Students

   Out of curiosity, what does HIPAA have to do with school name's? A lot of people come here for advice on which schools they would like to go to and which they would rather stay away from. If it wasn't for these boards I would have gone to a school ...

8. 85% for a passing grade!!

   MomInTraining replied to duling's topic in LPN/LVN Students

   I am not really sure who mandates it but I do feel your pain. My school has set the passing grade at 81%. Now this normally would be a B in most school's but at mine its the lowest C possible. Most of our tests are 25 or less questions so it does not...

9. What do you have to wear to school?

   MomInTraining replied to KIMYNURSE2B's topic in LPN/LVN Students

   Lab and Theory we can wear normal street clothing. Clinical's are our scrubs. They are celi blue with a navy blue stripe down the legs and around the neck on the top. They have our school name and our own names embroidered on them. All white nursing ...

10. lpn intrance exam?

    MomInTraining replied to helpinghands07's topic in LPN/LVN Students

    Call the school you are interested in and ask them which entrance test they give. From there you will know a lot better what you need to study. I had studied for one type of test and found out the school had given another type. Luckily it turned out ...

11. What supplies to take first day of school?

    MomInTraining replied to NurseR0xy's topic in LPN/LVN Students

    My school sent a letter and let us know to bring our Nursing Fundamentals books with us. During orientation they told us we would need paper, pen's, pencil's and highlighters. So not knowing if I would need all this the first day I just brought a not...

12. First Day.. Nervous

    MomInTraining replied to MomInTraining's topic in LPN/LVN Students

    Wow what a day!! Nothing like I expected at all. We spent the morning basically going over everything we went over in Orientation then come after lunch we pretty much jumped right in. Tonight I spent the last 4 hours doing my homework. I am envious h...

13. First Day.. Nervous

    MomInTraining replied to MomInTraining's topic in LPN/LVN Students

    Thank you both very much!!! It's funny you said not to pick a study buddy to quickly as my fiance told me to go sit in the back of the class for the first two weeks and try to get a feel for the other students who are in the class before picking a st...

14. First Day.. Nervous

    MomInTraining posted a topic in LPN/LVN Students

    So tomorrow is my first day and I am nervous. During orientation and CPR classes we got to meet some of the student's who will be in our class. My best friend had told me to make sure to find a good study buddy while in school (she went through the s...

15. Single Parent In Nursing School?!?!?

    MomInTraining replied to HartfordSPN's topic in LPN/LVN Students

    I am in the same boat as you, but I am a single mom of two kids. I choose to raise my own kids though, I couldn’t for one second fathom not tucking them in at night and not having them under my roof for an entire year, Heck I don’t like it for a week...
