  1. Acceptance Letter!!!!!

    DA314 replied to MsTn81's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    :ancong!: I know how you feel, I got my acceptance letter about 2 weeks ago. Makes you wanna do a happy dance! :monkeydance: Good luck. I start in Jan. too, the anticipation is killing

  2. Spring 2009 Classes

    DA314 replied to Adams_Mommy_07's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Xeno and Jess- It can be done, you just have to be disciplined. I'm taking a full load right now, I work 45 hrs/week at one job, 5 hrs/ week at another. I am currently taking Nursing Assistant...

  3. HOW Do I DO IT!!

    DA314 replied to joshindfw's topic in General Nursing

    I start nursing school in Jan. My current employer is willing to work around my school schedule and let me drop from full-time to 15 hrs per week. I also clean an office 2x /week, that nets me over...

  4. Honestly...Did I over-react?

    DA314 replied to oliveralways's topic in General Nursing

    From a practical standpoint, the ER trip seems a little much. From a legal standpoint (I handle worker's comp cases all day long!), going to the ER was very smart. There have been several nurses to...

  5. Yipeeee!!! I got In!

    DA314 posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I got my acceptance letter for the LPN program last night !! WAHOO!!!

  6. Do Newbies "Eat" Their Elders?

    DA314 replied to Ruby Vee's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not saying I don't give respect to older co-workers (and like I said, I'm not a nurse yet. I start the LPN program in Jan.). I treat people as they are to be treated. And just because someone is...

  7. This is kinda embarassing and gross: have you ever removed an impaction from yoursel

    DA314 replied to mondkmondk's topic in General Nursing

    I second the FLEET enema. Also, a nurse I know told me you can use a little sliver of bar soap in lieu of enema. I think someone else already mentioned

  8. Do Newbies "Eat" Their Elders?

    DA314 replied to Ruby Vee's topic in General Nursing

    While I'm not a nurse (yet), I will say that I have had trouble working with older people in the past. It is not and attitude or lack of respect on my part. I just get frustrated when older people...

  9. This is kinda embarassing and gross: have you ever removed an impaction from yoursel

    DA314 replied to mondkmondk's topic in General Nursing

    Wouldn't it be more worth it to drive out of your way to get the fluids you need than to have a impaction so severe that you have to manually remove it? :smackingf I feel bad for you. That's gotta be...

  10. LVN or straight to RN?

    DA314 replied to jillrayearth's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm going for LPN then bridging to RN. The waiting list here seems to be very long unless you have a 4.0 (which I do not). Also, the hospitals around here hire LPNs, so my hope is to get a hospital...

  11. Spring 2009 Classes

    DA314 replied to Adams_Mommy_07's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Eeek- I don't even want to think about my spring calss load. I know I'll be taking A&P !!, and re-taking development psych (because it has a 3 year expiration and I took it 3 1/2 yrs ago grrr). I...

  13. watch with sweeping second hand?

    DA314 replied to neonatalRN's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Future nurse - I found a great watch with a second hand at Target. It was like $15.00 I think. I don't know the name of the brand, but they had all

  14. Becoming C.N.A.....what kind of wages and best places to work...lexington/richmond...

    DA314 replied to Boondock_Saint's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not sure about this either. I'm currently in a CNA class, but we haven't really discussed where to work. I have a friend who has a CNA license and works as an ER tech at UK, He loves it and the...

  15. Seriously?!

    DA314 replied to cmonkey's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You might see if the school you got your BA from has the HS transcript in your file. Most colleges require

  20. Full Time Job & School

    DA314 replied to nessa414141's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think you can do an entire nursing program online, can you? I mean, at the very least you have to put in clinical hours. I currently go to school full time and work full time, but that is...

  21. Low GPA nursing student (Philly)

    DA314 replied to nursema31's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    From what I know, 76 for a C is pretty common. Even in my CNA class (pre-req for LPN school), anything below 75 is failing. I think they would look at your total GPA for admission. I don't know how...

  22. New LPN students??

    DA314 replied to PinkLPN's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Cancergirl - Good Luck! Be sure to let us know! I'm sure you'll get a "congratulations" letter too! I tell ya, there's nothing more nerve-wrecking than opening that

  23. New LPN students??

    DA314 replied to PinkLPN's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I just found out last night that I'll be starting in Jan. for an 18 month program. Hoo-Rahhh!! I'm glad the experienced students have posted some tips for us newcomers!

  24. HELP! Husband is depressing me! NEED ADVICE!

    DA314 replied to 2bNurseLove419's topic in General Nursing

    I just thought of something else that has helped my husband and I that might help you. For housework, my husband always swore he either didn't know what needed done or didn't know where to begin. So I...

  25. HELP! Husband is depressing me! NEED ADVICE!

    DA314 replied to 2bNurseLove419's topic in General Nursing

    I would like to add that I think "time apart" is a horrible idea. Your husband sounds immature. If you leave him, even for a week, he may get very depressed, think its really over, then go cheat or do...
