  1. No laptops in class, seriously?

    missjennmb replied to mothersuess's topic in General Students

    I have 3 littles ones (two in diapers atm) and interruptions during class, clicking of pens, shuffling of papers and all that STILL drives me nuts. So its not the kids. :) I think that if you did...

  2. Pain is subjective?

    missjennmb replied to lena130's topic in General Nursing

    !! So assuming the pain IS real, what is the patient supposed to do while the placebo is "working"?? Egaads, that is a very scary thought, I have to say. Plus, on a more intellectual level there...

  3. Skipping Nursing Calc?

    missjennmb posted a topic in General Students

    Is this possible? I've been offered an unexpected opportunity to transfer in to a very well respected program, but under the understanding that I can provide an unofficial transcript and can pass the...

  4. Pain is subjective?

    missjennmb replied to lena130's topic in General Nursing

    As a patient, PRN meds were really hard for me. I hated asking for them, knowing that it was 50/50 if someone would believe me, half feeling that I had to lie about my pain in order to be given...

  5. lpn intrance exam?

    missjennmb replied to helpinghands07's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    We took the PAX entrance exam and I thought it was very difficult. It was a math/science/language test and in every testing only 2-3 people passed it. They had to give it over and over again just to...

  6. $31,500...is that too much for a lpn program?

    missjennmb replied to trixiemunson's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I think the reason its so shocking to many is because of what you get paywise in our areas when you get out. In my area, it starts at $13 p/hr (admittedly going up to $28 for a seasoned LPN at a LTC...

  7. Nursing not good enough for him??

    missjennmb replied to lightninggale's topic in General Students

    Just another spin on this... but he's still a student right? Maybe he's just feeling inadequate in the learning environment (or stressed by it, or hating it or whatever) Maybe its not the actual...

  8. Do you find it "fun"?

    missjennmb posted a topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Did you think nursing school would be fun? If you did, how has it turned out so

  9. Do you find it "fun"?

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

    I am hating nursing school. I have always loved school and always done very well with it. There are three big reasons why I hate it. 1, I've always taken night classes so this is my first exposure...

  10. Do you find it "fun"?

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

    Thats not a dumb question. :) I am not sure what APN means. SPN is student practical nurse. CRNA is Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist. Its an advanced form of nursing like Nurse Practitioner,...

  11. Drug test before acceptance??

    missjennmb replied to cancergirl24's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    we have "pre-acceptance" where we test in and pay to save our spot, and then we have to follow a set of check offs in order to finally get IN, and thats where the drug screen and physical come into...

  12. Who else ????

    missjennmb replied to TheCloser's topic in General Nursing

    I was in the tech industry (project management, sales, technical support, programming, client training, etc) as well as some office management/billing/"girl friday" kinda stuff before going to nursing...

  13. turned away after clinical started??

    missjennmb replied to anangelsmommy's topic in General Students

    Unfortunately nursing schools drop half their students every single time, so I think that the teachers/dean of students just feel like they can drop people for pretty much anything and

  14. Dreaded Nursing Classes

    missjennmb replied to JadedDiamond's topic in General Students

    Read read read. I'm only a month in and I've gone from "it may be hard for them but it will be cake for me because i'm 'good' at school" to "how the heck can anyone keep up with this workload and...

  15. Anyone Been Pregnant or IS Pregnant During Nursing School?

    missjennmb replied to Sl1011's topic in General Students

    I have a baby and am in nursing school. Its emotionally hard because I wish I were with my baby but I keep telling myself it will be worth it. If I were going CRNA though... I don't know that I would...

  16. So tired of being SO competitive...does this change?

    missjennmb replied to polka-dot's topic in General Students

    I dont see a lot of competition in my program, but getting in was not difficult (well it was, but it was me vs a test not me vs another student) Drama though...thats a whooooole nother story. I'd...

  17. Stool sample for Micro class?????

    missjennmb replied to RXtech's topic in General Students

    I've gotta say... I used to be frustrated about my AP teacher reading out of a book, but after reading this thread, I'm glad he is so

  18. Will history of addiction prevent licensure in FL?

    missjennmb replied to Waldonian's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    It doesn't sound like a druggy issue so much as a mismanaged meds issue. I would definitely urge your friend to go to her doctor and get this nipped in the bud before it gets out of hand. Right now...

  19. Something that shocked me

    missjennmb replied to WayneStateKatie's topic in General Students

    I'm curious to see what our first days of clinical bring, if I make it that far. Everyone seems to intellectually be ok with "poop" but I cant help but wonder how many actually ARE ok with it when...

  20. From death row to pediatrics. Say WHAT?

    missjennmb replied to Bortaz's topic in General Students

    Your story just breaks my heart. I admire your desire to continue in peds after your clinicals experience. I love children and babies so very much that I just don't think I would be functional in...

  21. 5am "fog"

    missjennmb replied to newtelenurse's topic in General Nursing

    I am not a nurse yet, but I do work and go to school and have mad amts of insomnia. Yesterday I came home early from work after the 4th person asked me if I was sick, when I was just THAT exhausted....

  22. Accelerated Nursing Programs

    missjennmb replied to courtenia's topic in General Students

    ah ok, I was thinking it was actually 15 months, not 15 months plus a year of pre-reqs. That makes more sense. Thanks for clearing that up for me. :) Good luck! As the pp said, others have done...

  23. I had my first post mortem experience Friday.....

    missjennmb replied to mgalloLPN's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you for sharing your experience. It must have been so hard for you. I am also a student nurse, and I have to say that my terror regarding death has made me really question my decision to go in...

  24. 8 hr shifts/ 12 hr shifts....and childcare?

    missjennmb replied to prairiegirl's topic in General Nursing

    I'm just a student atm but I also work in the hospital on off hours. My husband picks up the slack right now (I'm either working or at school pretty much every waking moment). Once I'm done with...

  25. Stressed student needs guidance

    missjennmb replied to SNstressed's topic in General Students

    This is what I have learned the hard way this month. I have 3 classes, Fundamentals ( a 9 wk, 7 chapter a week class) AP1 (2 chapters a week but they are HUGE) and a separate Nursing Skills class (we...
