  1. LPN school changed minimum grade

    missjennmb replied to shady2178's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    our program has an 80 minimum as well, except in our nursing program an 80 is a C, and a 79.9 is a D and failing. Maybe somewhere along the way the communication lines got tangled? In my school, an...

  2. Tell me about your Pharmacology Class!

    missjennmb replied to missjennmb's topic in General Students

    So what do YOU think of your Pharmacology experience?

  3. Are there Jobs for LPNs in Tampa, Florida?

    missjennmb replied to Lil_Mama4sho1's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I did a search for LPN in the Tampa Tribune and got 41 results. I did a search at my current location (Myrtle Beach, SC) and got 14. I am from Tampa and I miss it SOOOO much! Between Tampa, St Pete...

  4. Why is the Middle of the Semester Always the Worst?

    missjennmb replied to jpeters84's topic in General Students

    sorry you're having a rough time Our classes are in 7 week increments so we have a final, what seems like every time we finally get the hang of the class. Its really tough. We lose students at...

  5. Too much 1st semester?

    missjennmb replied to CaptScrubs13's topic in General Students

    Nobody in my program could take another class and not struggle. Nobody. Every single student left in my program (about half the original class at the halfway point) is studying every waking moment....

  6. what do you wish you knew back then??

    missjennmb replied to NurseTeacher1's topic in General Students

    Dont get behind in your reading...dont get behind in your reading...dont get.... Yeah that. :) The only thing i really wish that I had done differently, is that I did not take Pharmacology seriously...

  7. LVN or should I go the RN route?

    missjennmb replied to want2banurse09's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Here, at the ADN programs that is not the case, but perhaps for a BSN it would be. I haven't really looked too closely at those as I am going the LPN -> LPN to ADN program -> online ADN to...

  8. LVN or should I go the RN route?

    missjennmb replied to want2banurse09's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Just a heads up, there's a time limit on most science classes for nursing school, so you may want to check that before you start taking classes just in case some time in the future you want to take...

  9. I feel Great!!!

    missjennmb replied to djameslpn365's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Congratulations! As a 31 yr old mom of 3 in nursing school, my best advice to you is to spend the next six months or so really putting in as much quality family time as you can with your kids. Go to...

  10. Is crying or showing emotion in front of a patient inappropriate

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

    I had a rotation with a nurse yesterday who has been an LPN for a very very very long time. When she went to nursing school, she did it "diploma program style" actually living in the hospital 24/7...

  11. Medical Surgical Nursing

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

    Thanks for the info. haha no not from Seattle. I was just having one of those super bad days one day and it was dark and pouring rain for almost a week straight so it seemed appropriate. :) We...

  12. Are nursing classes better than anatomy & physiology?

    missjennmb replied to rello's topic in General Students

    I guess when I say I don't study I mean that we study as a group for whatever amt of time is between our Med Surg class and AP the day of the test. (anything between 2 1/2 hrs and 4 1/2 hrs depending...

  13. "LPNs should be done away with altogether"

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

    If I had to have a BSN to become a nurse, I would not be in school for nursing. I'm surprised that its so "all or nothing" like this philosophy. If I were brand new out of high school with no...

  14. Are nursing classes better than anatomy & physiology?

    missjennmb replied to rello's topic in General Students

    I think that for a lot of things it depends on your school. But its funny to see this thread here this morning when last night we were just talking about how it must be for people having trouble in...

  15. Aldosterone Receptor Antagonist in English?

    missjennmb posted a topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Is there any way anyone can point me towards a "medical to english" dictionary of any sort? I'm having trouble wrapping my mind around how this works in layman's terms. I just started Pharmacology...

  16. Aldosterone Receptor Antagonist in English?

    missjennmb replied to missjennmb's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    thank you. Sometimes I can read the same thing 50 times and still not understand what I'm

  17. Medical Surgical Nursing

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

    maybe I'm just having a blonde moment (I am, I do :) ) but what are ATI books? Could you post the name or ISBN or whatnot so I can find them? I'll try anything at this point to help me understand....

  18. Accelerated LVN/LPN programs - what do you think?

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

    Ours is 3 community college semesters, so right around 12 months counting breaks and less than that if you dont. I cannot imagine doing this amount of material with any LESS time. I can barely...

  19. Study advice for a husband

    missjennmb replied to NurseStudentHusband's topic in General Students

    Please dont take this wrong but "going LPN" is not going to make things any easier. LPN is basically the 1st year of the RN program so she'd have the same classes more or less, and it would be just...

  20. Medical Surgical Nursing

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

    We did this yesterday. Our entire class stayed after the test (minus 1 person who had told off the teacher the day before - I'm suprised she was not kicked out of the program honestly). We asked our...

  21. Does nursing school seem not so bad to anyone else?

    missjennmb replied to blt3535's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Things that were easier than nursing school for me.... 1) being married to my first husband (and imagine the worst choice you've ever made in your life, times 2, and that would be him, a walking...

  22. Medical Surgical Nursing

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

    This would be great. Too bad my teacher doesn't actually teach us much of anything She reads out of the book, sometimes makes us wait 3 hrs to take a test (she said "i'll be there in 5 minutes"...

  23. Is it normal to feel this way?

    missjennmb replied to Saturnalia's topic in General Students

    I agree that stress and feeling pushed into things can make you feel as though you hate them, especially with all of what you are dealing with personally. I would STRONGLY suggest first and formost...

  24. "LPNs should be done away with altogether"

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

    In any avenue, this is horrendous. I actually withdrew from University of Phoenix after 1 class specifically because of this kind of "fill a seat and here's your A" mentality. I hadn't realized...

  25. "LPNs should be done away with altogether"

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

    Its not "someday" its December 2010, but regardless, thank you. I'm sure I'll know a lot more as a new RN than I will as a new LPN because the rate we are learning, my knowledge and abilities...
