  1. 1st semester LPN student jobs?

    dee78 replied to happyhaynes's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    You may be able to work for a home health agency that employs non-certified assistants to do non-medical care. Grocery shopping, cleaning, baths/grooming, errands, escort to appointments. Also some...

  2. Tennessee Tech Center / LPN PROGRAM

    dee78 replied to tam.lex's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    We had to buy ours at the bookstore...it was called the "oscar". Vocational relations was one of our first

  3. Tennessee Tech Center / LPN PROGRAM

    dee78 replied to tam.lex's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Not sure what PVR is...so I will say no. We started with everything. A&P, nutrition, vocational relationship, fundamentals (micro), all at the same time. There really was no reading ahead for...

  4. Tennessee Tech Center / LPN PROGRAM

    dee78 replied to tam.lex's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Apparently each campus has their own policies... The math final MUST be 81 at Chatt State or you are out, doesn't matter what you've made on any other tests. We do have finals, in every subject during...

  5. Pharm

    dee78 replied to Roxyann57's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    One of my teachers gives us a list of generic and trade name, I look at them and try to find something...anything to connect them. It's usually sexual because I tend to remember those...sometimes it...

  6. Study tips and Supplies for LPN students

    dee78 replied to Sjsmith92's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Be careful with the recording devices. My school doesn't allow us to record lecture. I use the notecard books, they are more expensive but I can keep up with them much better. I don't have random...

  7. Tennessee Tech Center / LPN PROGRAM

    dee78 replied to tam.lex's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Yep, I'm in my 2nd semester at TTC/Chattanooga State. We had just as many tests every week in the first semester. Multiple subjects at one time, unless you were exempt because you'd taken A&P...

  8. facebook and nursing school?

    dee78 replied to newmomspn's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I set up a group on FB for our class, we used it a lot during first semester but not so much during 2nd. We have developed our friendships, know who we can go to when we need specific help. But it...

  9. Ever take care of a patient for a while to later find out...

    dee78 replied to wanderingRound's topic in General Nursing

    Yep, same thing happened to me a few weeks ago. I'm getting my LPN, first clinical assignment was at the nursing home. I took care of a patient all week and then on Friday she was put on precautions...

  10. CNA or LPN program: I was accepted for LPN, but should I switch?

    dee78 replied to jerassica's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Same here in TN. You can sit for your CNA after first semester. Here are some of my thoughts. I know that hospitals don't hire many LPNs so I know that I won't work in a hospital to begin my nursing...

  13. Daycare when working 12-hour shifts

    dee78 replied to fwardlaw147's topic in Tennessee Nursing

    It's a common issue. Do you have anyone else that you can depend on? I don't, so I know that I can not work 12 hour shifts. You may be able to find a nanny that is willing to be flexible. There...

  14. are there any single mothers that have completed a lpn program?

    dee78 replied to singlemother's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I'm a single mom, I'm almost done with my first semester and so far I have all As. I will say that I have great parents that watch my kids so I can study. My kids are also older...11, 9, and 5. I...

  15. All classroom, no lab???

    dee78 posted a topic in LPN, LVN Students

    So far so good, I have straight As in the classroom. My instructors aren't the best but I'm learning their style. I will have them through the summer semester and get new ones in the fall. We start...

  16. All classroom, no lab???

    dee78 replied to dee78's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I did my checkoffs for handwashing and vital signs today. We have plenty of time for lab instruction, they give us 15-20 minute breaks every hour and randomly, we get at least an hour for lunch. We...

  17. LPN vs. Medical Assistant

    dee78 replied to mountaindewqueen's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with the last post, backup plan should be to take prereqs for the RN. I always ask the "nurse" at the doctor's office if they are an LPN, RN, or MA. I had one lady tell me she was a MA so I...

  18. Survived 1st Two Weeks!: Just wanted to share my experience :).

    dee78 replied to alexg524's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    That's awesome!! Keep it up. Like you, I'm very competitive and want to stay near the top of my class. We don't get so see other's grades, unless they tell us. We just had our final final today....

  19. All classroom, no lab???

    dee78 replied to dee78's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Thanks guys! Yeah, we have videos that come with our book. I have watched them a few times and will review them again before Friday. We have checkoffs on Friday. The teacher ran through the steps...

  20. LPN or RN?

    dee78 replied to Prairie's topic in General Nursing

    Yep, each situation is different and you have to weigh all of your options and pick the one that works best for you. I'm 31 with 3 kids, I need an income soon so I chose to get my LPN, then I will do...

  21. All classroom, no lab???

    dee78 replied to dee78's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I understand that you can get an A on paper and suck at being an actual nurse, I'm not even sure why you felt the need to even say that. I wasn't bragging about my grade, even though I am proud of...

  22. I am a week into my lpn program & already feeling overwhelmed. Need advice.

    dee78 replied to s81chubbs's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Yep, like the others have said. Flashcards!!! I started in Jan. I buy the spiral bound notecards and have one for each chapter, sometimes more. I like them because it's easier to keep them...
