    cowboysgirl2007 replied to vadee's topic in General Nursing

    I agree, stairs are a bad idea! :down::down: Is this in a home you are talking about? Maybe it's time to readjust the living arrangement so the stairs are taken out of the equation. If the house...

    cowboysgirl2007 replied to livinlife1257's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    What information do you have to have on them? Are you guys starting out simple or do they have to be pretty detailed? We are lucky in that we get to use Mosby's Drug Cards. We just go through them,...

    Your grading scale is what our grading scale was this summer, I thought it would stay the same for this semester but when I looked in our Handbook that's what it said. I guess I should question my...

  10. Harder Than I Thought

    cowboysgirl2007 replied to missjennmb's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    The grading scale is soooo much harder. There's a thread somewhere on here that talks about it, and a lot of nursing schools are the same way. Ours go as follows: 91-100% A 83-90% B :wink2: 76-82%...

    cowboysgirl2007 replied to SA Girl's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    cowboysgirl2007 replied to missjennmb's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    cowboysgirl2007 replied to Sue Damones's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    cowboysgirl2007 replied to Joe V's topic in General Nursing

    cowboysgirl2007 replied to FriendlyGhostRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I actually go to 2 different schools, so I can get away with that many credits. I have 22 hours this summer semester, and I'm hoping I'm not breaking any rules doing it. My nursing advisor had to...
