ok, thanks i didnt know that. Thats great advice. thank you

believe me im not yelling. Im not that way. Im actually sad and dont know how to handle it . I dont understand what you mean by yelling.

i am new in nursing school, only 6 weeks in. here's my problem. i always felt that when i would try to contribute in a discussion or ask a question, that the teacher was blowing me off but kept thinking to myself maybe its just me. well yesterday the girl who is in my class mentioned it to me. now i know its not my imagination,(wow its that obvious) so we tested it and yes she ignored me when i spoke. now im struggling in class as it is. i think about this alot and it has affected my studies. what would you do? if i fail these classes im out of program. im afraid if ask her about it things will only get worse. any thoughts?

thank you. i have a test monday and i will be practicing and will apply that to my studies. thanks again for the help.

wow. I think you made the light bulb go off. You telling me like that made me see the light. I am going to practice, and then practice some more. Thank you thank you thank you.

thanks. I am going to get these books tommorrow. Im grateful for such helpful people on this site.

thank you. I will definetly do that. Im grateful for your response.

I AM A NEW LPN STUDENT AND HAVING TROUBLE WITH NURSING FUNDAMENTALS. I READ AND DO MY STUDIES FOR HOURS ON END EVERYDAY, BUT WHEN IT COMES TO MY TEST I FAIL. I ALWAYS LEAVE THE TEST FEELING REAL GOOD ABOUT IT, BUT IM WRONG. THE CRITICAL THINKING QUESTIONS GET ME. I KNOW THE MATERIAL BUT I ALWAYS PICK THE WRONG ANSWER. ANY POINTERS ON HOW TO DISECT A QUESTION? WHATS THE TRICK? IM SO UPSET. IF SOMEONE WAS TO ASK ME A QUESTION ABOUT THE MATERIAL I COULD TELL THEM THE CORRECT ANSWER, I DONT UNDERSTAND. PLEEEEAAAASE HELP.

thank you so much. I have really been working on the math and i do feel better. I will look for that book and i will do good. I needed that vote of confidence.

I AM A NEW LPN STUDENT AND WE ARE STARTING DRUG CAL. I CANT GET IT:banghead:. COULD SOMEONE DRAW ME A PICTURE OR SOMETHING THAT WILL MAKE ME GET IT. LORD I FEEL DUMB. MY MIND GOES BLANK. IVE ALWAYS BEEN AFRAID OF MATH AND FIGURED THIS WOULD BE MY DOWN FALL IN SCHOOL. ANY HINTS OR ANY INPUT WILL BE DEEPLY APPRECIATED. I DONT WANT TO BE DROPPED OUT OF PROGRAM AND I AM REALLY TRYING. WHY DONT I GET IT? HELLLLLLLLLLLLLP! THANKS AMY

Thats a great idea. Thanks so much

thanks. where are you going to school? good luck to you.

Those are great tips. Im am real good at over analyzing. Thank you so much.

I think i will because my desk top is older than dirt. Its really time to update. My nephew lives in san antonio. Ill be visiting him this summer when i get a break from school. Well im sure youll get in. Are all the schools you applied for in dallas? Im going to do the adn after this. I really needed to start out slow. I really needed to boost my confidence as ive heard all the horror stories of how hard it is. When are letters coming out?

Hi. Im in the lpn program in lagrange ga. Im really excited, except for the nursing math. I am noooooo good at it and it makes me nervous. If i can get thru drug cal ill be fine. Good luck to you on your letter. I really was surprised i got one as they only choose 20 every six months. But hey im in and ill keep you posted. Where are you at and what are you taking?

I wish i could just realize what needs to be wrote down. Ill be trying to write word for word like i did for my pre reqs. Talk about messy. Ive also thought about a tape recorder. My instructor said they were fine with her when i went to orientation, so thats a idea. Are you doing your clinicals now? Hows it going? Thanks for your reply
