  1. HELP! New LPN grads having difficulty finding LPNA/internship positions in Lex area

    MissGwen replied to onehusbandsevenkids's topic in General Nursing

    If I am not mistaken, in order to bypass the internship this way, the board requires you to have worked 500 hours in the state you are endorsing from. I might be wrong, though.

  2. Practice test scores correlate with passing NCLEX?

    MissGwen posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Hello, I am scheduled for NCLEX-PN tomorrow. I have been taking the practice tests and for the most part, not doing very good on them. How many of you have had poor performance on the practice tests,...

  3. Practice test scores correlate with passing NCLEX?

    MissGwen replied to MissGwen's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Thanks. I only did 1400-1500 practice questions. While I was taking the exam and feeling extremely incompetent (lol), I thought, "I should have done more questions. My scores were too low." So much...

  4. Practice test scores correlate with passing NCLEX?

    MissGwen replied to MissGwen's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I passed. I did the PVT the day I took the exam and got the good pop up. I was going to check my quick results this morning, but my friend sent me a text and said I passed. I got on the boards website...

  5. Practice test scores correlate with passing NCLEX?

    MissGwen replied to MissGwen's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Tomorrow was the only day available for the next month. I need money, so............ I'm medium, maybe a little more than medium in my confidence. What in the world have I gotten myself into? LOL :)...

  6. ISU: Does it matter where you went to LPN school?

    MissGwen posted a topic in Online Distance Learning

    Hello, I am graduating from LPN school at Galen in Louisville in about a week and a half. I am looking into ISU's LPN-BSN program. I am wondering if they require that you graduated from an NLN...

  7. ISU: Does it matter where you went to LPN school?

    MissGwen replied to MissGwen's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Update: I called ISU the other day and I told them I was interested in their LPN-BSN program, but I needed some clarification on one thing. So, then I asked if it mattered where you got your LPN from...

  8. Lied on...what to do?

    MissGwen replied to NurseNinaFla's topic in General Nursing

    Why wasn't the syringe put in the sharps? I guess the best thing to do is to admit you should not have left it there. Everybody makes mistakes. Own it, learn from it, and move on.

  9. Admission to EKU's Programs

    MissGwen posted a topic in General Nursing

    I just discovered today that EKU bases their admissions for their ADN program on a points system. I have a BS in Psych from there, but honey, I need something more! LOL Anyway, I inquired as to what...

  10. Galen's PAX-RN Test?

    MissGwen replied to wishinguponastarLPN's topic in General Nursing

    I took it a few years ago when I was going to go to another program. I did not study at all and scored in the 89th percentile. From what I remember, it is similar to the ACT. I would think the PCAT...

  11. please i'm begging for your help with dosage calculations im desperate

    MissGwen replied to scaredstudent05's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I might be wrong, but aren't there 240mL in 8oz?

  12. Galen College

    MissGwen replied to krltdy's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, I was referring to paying some of my tuition out-of-pocket. My tuition - financial aid = a balance. You might get lucky, though! I am not sure how they are doing the payments now. Best to ask...

  13. Galen College

    MissGwen replied to krltdy's topic in General Nursing

    Just to let you know, you might have to pay some even though your EFC is 0. Mine was, too, but I had to pay out a nice little chunk of change. So, just be aware of that. If I were you, I would start...

  14. Withdraw - I'm really not sure?

    MissGwen replied to tailormade's topic in General Students

    Oh, wow! That is a tough decision to make. A nail biter for sure! It sounds like you have had three exams thus far and have one more "regular" exam to go plus the final, correct? Ok. So, let's see....

  15. How do you study for clinical check offs?

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

    Practice makes perfect! We do not get kits or dvd's, so I used a baby doll since I am the only human that lives in this place. LOL We just had our first check offs last week and man, I thought I was...

  16. What makes more sense...?

    MissGwen replied to jazz_is_my_game's topic in General Students

    It is doable. There are those who commute and make it through. Personally, I would not do it as I would be concerned about traffic, the possibility of car problems, the time it would take away from...

  17. What factors are important when nursing someone with depression

    MissGwen replied to davidthenurse's topic in General Students

    Would be good to click on the Specialty tab and go to the Psychiatric Nursing forum. Also, it would be a good idea to purchase an abnormal psych textbook. I have a Bachelor's in Psychology. I...

  18. Galen College

    MissGwen replied to krltdy's topic in General Nursing

    I am in my first quarter at Galen. Plan to be out about $1000 to $1200 for the above. You will get much better deals by buying your books on ebay, amazon, etc. Good Luck!

  19. University of Phoenix-math question-PLEASE ADVISE!

    MissGwen replied to MammaNurse2Be's topic in General Students

    Hello MommaNurse2be, Any time you want to know if credits will transfer, you should get that information directly from the school/schools you would be transferring those credits to and no where else....

  20. Right way to study?

    MissGwen replied to adamsmom's topic in General Students

    Now, for the test taking chapter! Test Taking High-performance students don't worry themselves with how they are doing; they focus on what they are doing. If You Panic During an Exam Close your eyes...

  21. Right way to study?

    MissGwen replied to adamsmom's topic in General Students

    The other day I was at the bookstore and came across this book: "Mosby's Tour Guide to Nursing School: A Student's Road to Survival Kit." This book is a must have! I wish I would have had this when I...

  22. Helping my wife look for classes?

    MissGwen replied to hkevg1's topic in General Nursing

    It is my understanding that you can get your CNA in no time. Tell her to contact Bluegrass Community and Technical College, Bluegrass Nurse Aide Training Center, and to call around to the nursing...

  23. How long before you know @ Galen?

    MissGwen posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hi, I am waiting to find out if I got in at Galen. After your file was complete, how long was it before you knew? I am about to die! Thanks very much!

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

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

    Hello Old Skippy, I sure am attending Galen! I am in Group A. Good luck to you, too! If we do not run into each other at school, we have this site to connect on! So, that is good! :)

  25. Does anyone have a Bachelors and still pursuing LPN??

    MissGwen replied to Ling07's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I have a bachelors, too and am starting an LPN program this month. Although I am going to get my RN, there are several reasons for getting my LPN first. To start with, I was able to get in and get...
