  1. A second change in nursing

    amjowens replied to futurelpn09's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Just that you realize that LPN school is going to be difficult is good. This means you'll know you have to study effectively and work hard. There's really no way around this, and you'll have to find...

  2. Wanna Get N Da Program But Dnt Kno Wat 2 Do....n-e Suggestions???

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

    Yeah, I agree. Proper usage of the English language is necessary if you want to go to nursing school. Also, maturity at LEAST at a level that you are able to realize that there's a time and a place...

  3. Who Wants to Remain a LPN?

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

    I'm surprised at how challenging LPN school is. I respect LPNs, and now realize the amount of knowledge LPNs have now that I'm in school. Unfortunately, LPNs aren't given the opportunity OR respect...

  4. Why did you choose LPN instead of RN?

    amjowens replied to kimmyj74's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    It sounds like most of us posting are planning to become RNs, but taking the LPN route as a step. For me, I think it's great that nursing offers the step-by-step plan to get to where we want to be....

  5. Distance Learning Course - Pharmacology In Nursing Practice

    amjowens replied to mahroya's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I took Pharm last semester. A nursing classmate of mine took it online. She loved it! Pharm is with so much memorization, and if you've taken pre-req science courses, I think you'd be fine with the...

  6. Is there anyone in LPN School

    amjowens replied to mr passionate1's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    You're being a little too vague for any specific help, but I wish you luck at doing better in your

  7. Starting LPN clinics/classes soon

    amjowens replied to Nursie-poo wannabe's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Congrats! It sounds like you have a lot going on! I've finished my first semester of LPN school. I find the clinical experience to be the easiest part. It's stressful, but with the group you're in,...

  8. What Should I Do Now?????????????

    amjowens replied to jakaden's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    What you are going through is frustrating-no way around that. Feel this for a bit, but get out of your rut/negative label asap. Decide not to think of yourself as a failure, and don't compare to...

  9. Frustrated & Depressed!!!!

    amjowens replied to MAmom81's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    missy-You sound so driven. What's one year when talking about MANY years of a wonderful nursing career?? I know that it's tough to hear when you're the one waiting, but truly, look at the number of...

  10. Frustrated & Depressed!!!!

    amjowens replied to MAmom81's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Wanted to add-my instructor (head of LPN nursing at my school) has been there a number of years. She's the one who told the class about the new school, and the info was provided directly because she's...

  11. Frustrated & Depressed!!!!

    amjowens replied to MAmom81's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    There are a lot of schools popping up, offering technical degrees. In the Toledo area, I hear of one more about to start. Tuition is out-of-site, the rate of students passing the program is generally...

  12. What's the difference between A&P for Practical Nurse and A&P for Registered Nurse

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

    We have the option of taking Anatomy and Phys. II (the same that nursing students take, but need to take I to get into II!) or Human Anatomy. For those who take Human Anatomy, they'd have to take the...

  13. How Much in Student Loans Do YOU Have?

    amjowens replied to Brookes1129's topic in General Students

    We are each so individual with our needs and circumstances. I don't think that most of us trying to reach our dream of being a nurse is trying to put oneself in the "hole" or use the system. We each...

  14. Noticing a trend here

    amjowens replied to AngelfireRN's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks. Maybe I'm reading it wrong? She said she thinks it's mainly pre-nurses, nursing students, etc. causing problems and also seems to say that this site is meant as "allnurses" for NURSES....

  15. Noticing a trend here

    amjowens replied to AngelfireRN's topic in General Nursing

    I'm a student nurse, and recently came upon this site. I find it so refreshing and informative-it's like the wisdom that no book can give and the kind-of-information about nursing and nurses that a...

  16. I JUST NEED TO VENT.............PLease Help.....

    amjowens replied to misslpn2b?'s topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I find it's helpful to try to have a balanced life outside of school. It sounds opposite of all the talk about nursing school, but it's mandatory for me to not just be a nursing student. I keep a...

  17. Is this a good plan or not???

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

    It seems like every group needs to use another group to make themselves feel better or more important themselves. I've come to the conclusion that RNs tend to be insecure--maybe due to the treatment...

  18. When did you start? How is it going? When do you finish?

    amjowens replied to KIMYNURSE2B's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I started Jan 10 and finish around the second week of December. I took A and P before I started my program. This left Pharmacology, completed spring semester, Fundamentals, and Role fo the LPN. ALL...

  19. Is this a good plan or not???

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

    I also entered LPN school with the hopes of using it as a step to what I really want to do. I'm finished with the first semester of my program. I still plan to become a RN and go for my ultimate goal...

  20. Finally Here 12 MONTH LPN PROGRAM IN DETROIT

    amjowens replied to jackyo's topic in Michigan Nursing

    PSI probably takes longer since you don't have a direct route from 75. To Owens, you take 75 south, past the city section of Toledo, and it's the exit just past the bridge over the river. It's about a...

  21. LPN School Prep

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

    I just finished my first semester. Pharmacology was the toughest. There's really no way to prepare, except with mentally/emotionally preparing for pacing self with good study habits. Also, I'd try...

  22. Finally Here 12 MONTH LPN PROGRAM IN DETROIT

    amjowens replied to jackyo's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I hear a lot of talk about PSI and Toledo Sch. of Pract. Nursing. I'm in Toledo, and am in a program at Owens Community College. It's a few miles down 75 just south of downtown (5min), and if you...

  23. Nursing acceptance letters?

    amjowens replied to Lilaro's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Good luck Shannon! I like how you are excited to learn, and how you found a role model and have a vision for yourself! I'm in a nursing program in Toledo, OH. I sometimes look at the MI region since...

  24. Has the nursing school wait discouraged anyone?

    amjowens replied to Hausfrau's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I can't believe how such passionate potential nurses are being treated in this system. It's completely wrong. If there wasn't such a demand for such type of nurses, I'd see things differently. And,...

  25. I am a loser

    amjowens replied to Hotflashn's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    As for the CA info, I'm sharing my news based on the fact that a lot of my family members are attorneys or graduated from law school. Obviously, I'm in nursing, and respect the information shared...
