  1. Brown Mackie Colleges in Indiana

    MereSanity replied to tonicareer's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    We have one is South Bend. I attended Ivy Tech (South Bend) so I am not that familiar with Brown Mackie. I do know that they are more expensive than Ivy Tech and as of this point are not accredited...

    MereSanity replied to crazy.house's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I got a Dell PDA and put Pepid (student nurse edition) on it. I LOVE it. I can access lab info, meds, medical dictionary, etc, etc, without having to lug around all my books. Some nursing programs...

  6. What do you Tell Someone Who Doesn't Believe Mental Illnesses Exist?

    MereSanity replied to ChristineN's topic in Psychiatric

  7. Your nursing school's grading policy

    MereSanity replied to edcampbe's topic in General Nursing

    Yep...our "A's" cut off at 93%. I would have 4 "A's" right now but only have 3 because I have a 90% in one class (grrrrr) :angryfire . Makes me so mad. 75% is the lowest in our scale though. Below...

  8. Number of classes per semester

    MereSanity replied to olanurse2be's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took 19 credits one semester and 17 the next . I didn't have a choice in the matter (it was required). Try not to do that though if you don't have

  10. good Samaritan or emergency care doctrine

    MereSanity replied to Kristi Lee's topic in Emergency

    Of course if you are driving by an accident and decide not to stop and help and someone recognizes you and says "oh that lady/man is a nurse and they didn't stop to help"...you can get sued for that...

  11. A&P not really helpful in nursing school!

    MereSanity replied to bioniclewoman's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Are you kidding me? Besides Pharm, A&P I & II were THE most helpful classes I took. Knowing the in's and out's of the body and how and why it works is not important?

    MereSanity replied to phn92's topic in Indiana Nursing

    Colts and Notre

  16. Was anyone a not so great High School student and become a GREAT college student?

    MereSanity replied to emndarmic's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I was a bad student in high school. I graduated in 1989 and only got C's and B's. When I went to college the first time I got C's. Well, I recently decided to become a nurse...lo and behold...all...

  17. Order of Pre-reqs...need advice

    MereSanity replied to no er holds's topic in LPN, LVN Students

  18. How strict was your nursing school?

    MereSanity replied to piercednurse's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Yep, ours is just as strict. I think that a lot of people need that structure (as they are irresponsible). If we miss more than 2 days a rotation we are out of the program (NO excuses, not even...

    MereSanity replied to merdarah's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    P.S. Look at monster.com for what LPN's and surg techs get paid...LPN's make much more. Good

  20. I'm Having a hard time choosing between surgicaltech/LVn

    MereSanity replied to merdarah's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I wanted to go surg tech too but decided LPN because 1) It pays a lot more money 2) I have more options available to me in many different areas, not just the OR 3) I'm still going to work in the OR....

    MereSanity replied to sammyjo's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Mine are all transferrable...but there is one school in our area that isn't. I don't think the people that attend there know that. Just goes to show that you really need to research these things...

  23. lpn programs????

    MereSanity replied to sammyjo's topic in LPN, LVN Students

  24. Do you feel that the LPN program should be more than one year?

    MereSanity replied to HisHands's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    MereSanity replied to HisHands's topic in LPN, LVN Students
