  1. Passed my bp check off this morning!!!

    tothepointeLVN replied to ohcomeon's topic in General Students

    Awesome. I had the most difficult time learning manual blood pressures and to be honest I did my first one in nearly a year. I forgot how

  2. Need help for my group! We are studying wrong re: Basic Skills

    tothepointeLVN replied to avidhunter3's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    The best simple advice I ever got for critical style questions from a NCLEX reviewer was "keep them alive, keep them safe" Of course there are more nuances than that but its a good place to start if...

  3. Concorde vs. American Career College

    tothepointeLVN replied to joliemolie's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I went to ACC and there was never 100 students they had 50 students and 10 alternates. Clinical groups were 10-12 for the first 2 semester about 8 for the last two. Those who failed, failed because of...

  4. Why not to go to west coast university

    tothepointeLVN replied to ladynurse266's topic in General Students

    I think as a whole the HESI is not a problem but when they use it as a way of flushing students out rather than providing the education the student are paying through the nose for it is a problem As I...

  5. Can someone please explain "plagiarism" to me?

    tothepointeLVN replied to blessed2bfree's topic in General Students

    In cases like this I find it's sometimes better to "dumb" what you are paraphrasing down. To put it into simpler english. The purpose usually of a research paper is to show that your researched and...

  6. Bathing Classmates and Other Personal Boundaries?

    tothepointeLVN replied to brownhairedgal's topic in General Students

    We only practiced the non invasive things on each other like occupied bed changes and all the men in our class volunteered so we could practice restraints lol. The school wouldn't let us practice...

  7. Lack of hours

    tothepointeLVN replied to tothepointeLVN's topic in Private Duty

    I believe the nursing classes for the ADN program are at the Doheny Campus. I wish I was single and could live on

  8. Lack of hours

    tothepointeLVN replied to tothepointeLVN's topic in Private Duty

    No the program is not gender specific but spirit of empowering and educating women is an underlying driving

  9. Lack of hours

    tothepointeLVN replied to tothepointeLVN's topic in Private Duty

    I ran into a few MSMC when I was in LVN clinicals too. They have their clinicals every other weekend I believe but even if it was every weekend that would still work. I like the idea of going to an...

  10. Lack of hours

    tothepointeLVN replied to tothepointeLVN's topic in Private Duty

    I have applied for MSMC I figured I can work around the class schedule and they allow you to do your prerequisites there before moving onto the nursing program. It's not cheap however. You take a test...

    tothepointeLVN replied to labrador4122's topic in General Students

  13. out of desperation I bought a new computer

    tothepointeLVN replied to labrador4122's topic in General Students

    FYI on your macbook you can create using bootcamp a partition to run windows on so when you power up you can choose between OSX or Windows. Thats the setup I have on my imac so I'm never stuck with...

  14. Why not to go to west coast university

    tothepointeLVN replied to ladynurse266's topic in General Students

    This is a good post for those students that get roped in by the "guaranteed" graduation date speech. Many classmate at the VN school I went to that is the sister school to WCU were hoping to move on...

  15. RCC or Lomalinda University???

    Apply to both anyways

  16. Ascending the ladder. PA?

    tothepointeLVN replied to phoenix14232's topic in Nursing Career

    Good. My advice would be not to upgrade to an RN after getting your LPN if PA school is your ultimate goal. You'll get there quicker if you don't take the extra time for Rn school. Just concentrate on...

  17. Ascending the ladder. PA?

    tothepointeLVN replied to phoenix14232's topic in Nursing Career

    I think what she is trying to say is that you don't need to be a nurse to become a PA. In fact if you become a nurse it makes more sense to go the NP route since it builds upon your nursing education....

  18. Mount St. Mary's College LA -- ADN

    tothepointeLVN replied to vlove's topic in California Nursing

    I have a question too about the online reference form. I put the contact info on my application so they can fill the reference form online but neither has received any information from MSMC. Did...

  19. Is there anyone who thinks school is not that bad?

    tothepointeLVN replied to 2bnurseTV's topic in General Students

    I didn't think it was so bad. Got out with a 4.0 and still have my husband of 10 years. First 4 weeks were hard you didn't know what to expect and you were suddenly spending 40hours a week with a new...

    tothepointeLVN replied to RNnbakes's topic in General Nursing

    I had an agency try an offer me $12 for a private duty job I said no. It wasn't the money persay but the family sounded like a pain in the ass. They didn't want to pay much but lived on a golf...

  22. If Nurses were paid $8.50 per hr, would you or would you not

    tothepointeLVN replied to RNnbakes's topic in General Nursing

    tothepointeLVN replied to VickyRN's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    When I was in nursing school I picked up a classmate for clinicals and she jumps into my car with a plastic cup full of wine. I was floored I didn't know what to say. I reported her and nothing...

    tothepointeLVN replied to Elleveein's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    We had one student just up and quit when we were doing some math review at the start of the year. It was basically a day for the teacher to figure where everyone was mathwise but he freaked out and...
