Ear Wax (Not Mine of Course) Watching a patient clean his/or her ears, literally gags me! VERY STRANGE!!! I can handle pretty much anything else that comes my way!

"rn's dont hv to be iv certified. its inclusive in our education.lpn's are the only ones that need iv certification. plus rn's have the benefit of having hours and hours of clinical experience in the hospital where we start iv's all the time. please ...

Thats funny that you say the toughie test is Fluid and Electrolyte's in Fundamentals...It is the same thing in our program, many students get dropped after that examination!

I am sure this has been said but I dont feel like reading 107 pages!!! When did you graduate high school? Because it sure seems to me like your acting like a high schooler!!!!

My first clinical experience was a HUGE eye opener for me. I guess you can say I grew up sheltered, my father was in law inforcment, so I didn't get to experience all that much the world had to offer, until I got married, and started to see the world...

Just because you think you may fail Dosage and Calculations doesn't mean you aren't fit to be a nurse! It just means you might need a math tutor, some remediation and take it again. If you want to be a nurse, don't let anyone or ANY SUBJECT stand in ...

As I am typing this right now, I am staring at my little baby girl Lola a French Bulldog, and could NEVER imagine how my life would be without her in it. I got her right when I lost my job and started my nursing education. She has gotten me through s...

I myself am not ashamed to say that I have taken many anti-deppresants since the age of 15, thats when I started battling depression/anxiety, and the one that has worked best for me is Effexor XR...The only thing I hate is, if I miss even ONE dose, I...

Why does she have to go to the gym? She has large breasts!

I got hired as a CNA in a hospital with no experience. It ended up being horrible. You never know, you may like LTC and hate the hospitals. The problem at the hospital I worked at was staffing. The liscensed staff never helped and other CNA's wouldnt...

I would think they would be doing everything they could because they have some big competition opening up in the next year or so, Loma Linda University is opening up a new hopsital medical center off of Clinton Keith Road and they are already startin...

I actually know someone very close to myself, that worked for Southwest Healthcare, the company that owns Rancho Springs Medical Center & Inland Valley Medical Center, for almost twenty years. I am not sure if you are currently in the southern Ca...

I go to Chaffey College in Rancho Cucamonga, great school, excellent reputation, I love everything but there is a waitlist, I think you will find a waitlist wherever you are in the southern California region. Chaffey College also has a LVN-RN transit...

With a student loan size of 132k, you won't be paying for a couple of years. I am not that much older than you (25) but I feel maybe you should meet some mid-twenty, RN's and let them "Big Sister" (sounds cheesy) you and mentor you, so you can really...

The sterile field always got me too!!! The saying "practice makes perfect" rings true to nursing skills. Like the other poster, having a friend watch you is a great way to fix your mistakes. Also, at my school we have a skills lab with a special inst...

Bath and Body Works "Look Ma..New Hands"...This stuff is amazing! I swear by it. It is not too heavy and gives you a layer of protection after you apply it, but it does NOT leave your hands greasy, just extremely silky and soft!!:redpinkhe

I am currently in a LVN program with at least 10 single Moms, and they are doing just as good as the next person. I think the key is having a good support system, though you should have a good support system while in nursing school regardless of your...

Pre-Req's for Chaffey VN are CNA, Anatomy (without lab) is the minimum, Math 401 (dosage and calculations), NURVN 201 (introduction into nursing) They dont require English (though I did my pre-reqs at another school and did my English) Chaffey is ama...

Dont forget about Chaffey Vn too. I am supposed to graduate December 17th 2010. I also got into the program the first time I applied. Let me know if you have any questions :)

I thought I was mentally prepared for LVN school, but when I actually started I was blown away. Things are always stresfull and difficult. I graduate (crossing fingers) this December 17th. I also think it depends on what sort of school you go to and ...

It just seems so expensive. now granted I'm in an LVN program at a community college and the total cost is $2000. that's it!

My hubbie works for a MAJOR electronics retail store (Im sure you could all figure it out) and he is a GM and makes a six figure income. He has no degree just 20 years in retail. We also live in SoCal where wages are higher.

I have had IC for over seven years. It is not something I would wish on my worst enemy. I know IC is associated with Pelvic Floor Dysfunction, but I have never heard of congestion.

I go to a really good community college in Southern California and my LVN program only cost $2000 for the entire program. including everything. I got a pell grant which allows me to pay for essentials so I don't have to work and my hubbie covers the ...

I go to Chaffey for LVN. I transferred from another JC and only needed one pre-req left. For a start date in August, you can apply for the program with your pre-reqs not finished. I applied once and got in the first time. I did hear the RN program is...
