  1. New LPN students to start soon !! Come share your experiences :)

    MissGwen replied to Ericad85's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    We have the same start date! Where will you be going? I have been researching this site like a mad woman trying to learn all I can! :)

  2. Need encouragement and advice

    MissGwen replied to nurse2b2010's topic in General Students

    Oh my! You have A&P and stats at the same time! Now, that is scary! LOL When I got my bachelors (psych), those were the without a doubt the hardest classes I had. I had 3 stats classes and they...

  3. LPN to Medical Assisting

    MissGwen replied to SRH!'s topic in General Nursing

    I agree with the others that getting your LPN and/or RN would be best. Actually, Galen has a campus in Cincy now. The LPN program at Galen is considerably less than Brown Mackie. You should check it...

  4. *BBFRN* Galen College question

    MissGwen replied to krltdy's topic in General Nursing

    I have been wondering about this. Since Galen is on a quarter system, do you mean after your first quarter you can apply for your CNA certification or do you have to wait until after the second...

  5. Admission to EKU's Programs

    MissGwen replied to MissGwen's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe I would get in, but maybe not. You just never know. Also, I think it is best for me to get my LPN, so I can start working early next year. It would be around 3 years before I finished my RN if I...

  6. Starting at Galen...tuition question

    MissGwen replied to gabriella86's topic in General Nursing

    Actually, it is not a case of being pushed back again. I was initially told that I was to start in October, but the person who told me that was incorrect. I was to start in January. A recent mutual...

  7. Starting at Galen...tuition question

    MissGwen replied to gabriella86's topic in General Nursing

    My start date has been changed to April. One good thing to do is go to Galen's website and from there you can download the student catalog and handbook. It should help you learn more if you have not...

  8. Teaching psych, what is most important/valuable?

    MissGwen replied to ruralnurs's topic in Psychiatric

    I am obssessed with this syllabus. LOL I have another idea. If you choose the book route, after each chapter is read, a journal entry,etc. would need to be written. You could make an outline of sorts...

  9. Teaching psych, what is most important/valuable?

    MissGwen replied to ruralnurs's topic in Psychiatric

    I have another idea. It is quite possible you have already looked into this. Of course, you could search this site for ideas,etc. Are there sites geared specifically for nursing educators? Surely...

  10. Need some encouragement... It could be over for me!!!

    MissGwen replied to CandyGyrl's topic in General Students

    I think that one of the best pieces of advice you have been given is to work the problems backward. I use to do that all time when doing math. From what I remember, it works! I can so relate to test...

  11. Admission to EKU's Programs

    MissGwen replied to MissGwen's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks. I knew about that. I have 85 or 86 points, but I have not had A&P or Micro yet. I might try to get into their LPN-RN bridge after I am finished with my LPN. :)

  12. Nursing student taking drugs

    MissGwen replied to txpatches's topic in General Students

    Exactly how did you acquire this information? What do you mean by "found out?"

  13. Starting at Galen...tuition question

    MissGwen replied to gabriella86's topic in General Nursing

    Ok. Coolness. :)

  14. Starting at Galen...tuition question

    MissGwen replied to gabriella86's topic in General Nursing

    Actually, I did not know the ciel blue scrubs were suppose to have Galen on them. I got mine at the Lexington store. The packet did not specify that. I guess I will have to exchange them in...

  15. Starting at Galen...tuition question

    MissGwen replied to gabriella86's topic in General Nursing

    Glad you got some extra sleep. Sometimes those few extra minutes are just what you need to feel refreshed! I did not go to orientation, so I must meet with Ms. Metten this week to sign some...

  17. Admission to EKU's Programs

    MissGwen replied to MissGwen's topic in General Nursing

    No, I did not apply.

  18. taking an extra class during nursing school

    MissGwen replied to jwcatcher25's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am not sure about how rigorous the first semester ADN program is at EKU. I am on the flip side of you in a way. I have a BS in Psych from there, but the possibility of doing the ADN program is...

  19. Starting at Galen...tuition question

    MissGwen replied to gabriella86's topic in General Nursing

    I am. Have not got it yet, but I was kind of wondering about it. I bet they will get it out soon. Let me know when you get yours and I will do the same. Sometimes emails do not make it to their...

  20. I'm starting clinicals...

    MissGwen replied to toya1908's topic in General Students

    Thank you. I was getting some of my immunizations and a girl had a pair of Danskos (sp) on and I said, " I like your shoes." I did not know they were nursing shoes at the time. LOL The review books...

  21. Love Mental Health Nursing!

    MissGwen replied to ramona13's topic in General Students

    No, you should not take this to heart and find another speciality unless you do not think you can deal with it in a professional manner. There are multiple nurses who are attractive who work in psych....

  22. I'm starting clinicals...

    MissGwen replied to toya1908's topic in General Students

    "Come over-prepared (spend the few extra bucks to have the resources you need to make school make more sense.)" What are the extra resources? I sure would like to know about that! I am going to try to...

  23. No You Can't (Long)

    MissGwen replied to nursesaideBen's topic in Psychiatric

    I was just browsing this forum and this post caught my interest. No, you should not stay away from psych nursing. Keep yourself healthy and you should be just fine. I say, "It takes one to know one."...

  24. Teaching psych, what is most important/valuable?

    MissGwen replied to ruralnurs's topic in Psychiatric

    I am not a nurse yet, but in January I begin nursing school. However, I do have a BS in Psychology and have worked as a tech at two psych facilities. From what I have seen, it seems some nurses do...

  25. traveling for school?

    MissGwen replied to defboy11's topic in General Students

    Well, I feel a little better about it after reading this thread: https://allnurses.com/forums/f50/how-far-do-you-drive-nursing-school-345444.html I have to go! It is not going to be easy, but I have...
