  1. LPN/LVN wants to pursue RN

    amjowens replied to Aspiring_RN's topic in Ohio Nursing

    Once you finish your LPN and pass your NCLEX, there are a lot of LPN-RN programs out there. One place to look is discovernursing.com for

  2. how often do you study?

    amjowens replied to hTx87's topic in General Students

    I wrote that without apology. It's just a fact of how I handle myself, and it has to do with grades, the topic. You sounded like you were upset about hurting others by your good grades and lack of...

  3. OMG!!! 6 weeks left

    amjowens replied to aiyah_d's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Yeah, I hope to graduate in early Dec., so I completely understand. An extra day of clinicals and 96 hours of precepting added to class,...n-i-c-e. It's just one day at a time of giving it my best...

  4. how often do you study?

    amjowens replied to hTx87's topic in General Students

    While it's nice to see how other people reach their goals, we are each individual. We are given gifts in some areas, and have challenges in others. You sound so negative and concerned about an...

  5. should I cut my hair?

    amjowens replied to picurn10's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I strongly believe in maintaining who we are in NS and as nurses. Make yourself a priority. NS is tough and time consuming, sure, but don't start the habit of taking care of everyone else and not...

  6. The economy and your job

    amjowens replied to StephanieS321's topic in General Nursing

    ooh! Very scary! This is sad for the future of nursing. :eek: Sure, we might have a job, but look at how many jobs. I wonder where patient care fits into all these job

  7. Surgical Clinical

    amjowens posted a topic in General Students

    So far, I've only had med-surg clinicals, but today I had my surgical clinical. The nurses in OR were so nice and helpful! ALL of them. I went from surgery to surgery, so dealt with a number of...

  8. would you go the LPN route?

    amjowens replied to picurn10's topic in General Students

    Sorry, I didn't read that before I posted.

  9. would you go the LPN route?

    amjowens replied to picurn10's topic in General Students

    The thing is, a lot of nurses don't realize the amount of knowledge LPNs must accumulate during the year. So, you'll find you won't get the respect you deserve. The value of LPNs as determined by...

  10. Do Newbies "Eat" Their Elders?

    amjowens replied to Ruby Vee's topic in General Nursing

    While I agree that this might happen, it's really very "small" of both parties. I mean, can't we try to evolve? If this is how it is, no wonder health care is stuck in many ways. Not to mention, the...

  11. Do Newbies "Eat" Their Elders?

    amjowens replied to Ruby Vee's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, I wish it were different. When I'm in a position that I could be an instructor or help younger nurses, I hope to be "nice" and "tough" at the same time. It just seems that "tough" gets the...

  12. Major anxiety (kinda long)

    amjowens replied to almostthereMHM's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I think it's important that you acknowledge what you are going through. I don't think too many of us here on this site are in the position to give you advice as to action, etc. Nurses are just as...

  13. Do Newbies "Eat" Their Elders?

    amjowens replied to Ruby Vee's topic in General Nursing

    I'm also a student, and it takes humility to learn. The "meanest" nurses, I've found, have become my most valuable and treasured teachers. They don't care about what people think of them, as it's all...

  14. Do Newbies "Eat" Their Elders?

    amjowens replied to Ruby Vee's topic in General Nursing

    There's a lot of material about Generation Y regarding work ethic/values. I even came across a book at Barnes and Noble all about this topic. At the time the book was written (within the last 2...

  15. Don't "click" too well with classmates

    amjowens replied to TootyFruity703's topic in General Students

    I guess this thread is a good example of the deep emotions related to, I guess, "intellectual status", in our society. This and the closely related "class" topic is really taboo. Everyone is cutting...

  16. Don't "click" too well with classmates

    amjowens replied to TootyFruity703's topic in General Students

    There is quality to be found in all people, from all social groups. The most gracious and wise among us will strive to find that value and quality. As a prince, I would think that you have an almost...

  17. Pro skills lpn school in Toledo Ohio

    amjowens replied to martina24's topic in Ohio Nursing

    I don't go to Prof Skills Instit, but did attend the orientation and seriously considered attending. The thing that made me choose Owens over PSI was the fact that none of the classes transfer to...

  18. Anyone work as a CNA while going to NSG school?

    amjowens replied to gardenpartyy's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I know that a lot of students work as CNAs while in NS. It's a really good idea because of the experience. I find, as sad as it is, most people who aren't "close" don't exactly appreciate our...

  19. Don't "click" too well with classmates

    amjowens replied to TootyFruity703's topic in General Students

    I chose to give a few examples. The gym was one. As for the food and notes, huh??? I'm not writing a book, just a simple post, so yes, I've left out a lot. I do believe in everyone being who they are....

  20. Don't "click" too well with classmates

    amjowens replied to TootyFruity703's topic in General Students

    I was raised in family so snobbish that I haven't even told them that I'm going to a community college. The only issue I have is with my college as a whole. I was taught to be polite and friendly....

  21. ready to quit...help

    amjowens replied to 2bnursesim22's topic in General Students

    I think you need to focus on the question of whether you really want to be a nurse. If the answer is yes, you'll get through the studying. If not, you'll likely still get through, but it sounds like...

  22. Disgusted With School

    amjowens replied to Knok_Turn_Al's topic in General Students

    One of my maxims, quality over quantity. Nursing instructors seem to be looking for one thing, and if it's there between hundreds of words or in one simple sentence, it's there. If it's not,...

  23. Student aggravated with Nursing Staff

    amjowens replied to Nnifer75's topic in General Students

    My clinical instructor told us it's all in how we approach the nurses. She also works on the unit where we do our clinical, so she's aware of the talk regarding students. Anyway, instead of asking a...

  24. Rate your professors

    amjowens replied to MermiesGreatGig's topic in General Students

    I think, the more information, the better. So, I think that's a nice site. But, I do agree that reading comments is important. Also, what makes for a likeable professor doesn't always equal a good...

  25. Instructor asking for students to withdraw

    amjowens replied to scrublifenurse10's topic in General Students

    I think it's important to know how to study effectively. There's a small group in my class who seem to study a lot, but don't get good grades. Then, there's the group who have a ton of other things...
