  1. Half Question/Half Pet Peeve

    SWM2009 replied to roser13's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I don't think the OP was against diversity in nursing or any other profession nor was she advocating sexism against male

  2. Half Question/Half Pet Peeve

    SWM2009 replied to roser13's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    The idea that women have somehow cornered the market in behaving badly at work infuriates me. Are men somehow above this "catty, backstabbing behavior" simply because they are men? I don't believe...

    SWM2009 replied to givemeu1's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    SWM2009 replied to SWM2009's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Yes to ATI helping me but not so much the books because I didn't really read those after the individual exams honestly. Mostly the extra practice exams that I had access to from my school. These were...

    SWM2009 replied to SWM2009's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    There's a lot of posts about it on the NCLEX forum but basically after you've taken NCLEX, if you passed and try to reregister for the test again, you get a popup telling you to contact your board of...

  15. What to study before Nursing School

    SWM2009 replied to Terahmrtnz's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    You will all adjust, sometimes painfully, but you will adjust. It is doable. It is harder when you have family obligations but not impossible. Depending on how old your kids are, you can even...

  16. What to study before Nursing School

    SWM2009 replied to Terahmrtnz's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Honestly? Nothing. I would work more so I could save money to have a nice cushion in case I needed to cut back work hours during nursing school. I would also spend extra time with the family because...

  17. Help job decisions!

    SWM2009 replied to cmm4ever's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I wonder though since you are both, which license would you be held up to? That would be a concern for me because I have heard one is usually held up to the higher license they hold even if they...

  20. What course was most difficult for you?

    SWM2009 replied to SirenoftheSea's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Probably not....some schools don't have Pharmacology as a separate course..maybe they incorporate the medication information in the other

  21. Upcoming nursing student

    SWM2009 replied to tebrown's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I'd say enjoy the next 3 weeks before nursing school consumes your life and then some. Do something fun and relaxing before all the madness begins.... I won't lie...it will be an adjustment. There is...

  22. What course was most difficult for you?

    SWM2009 replied to SirenoftheSea's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I thought A&P was hard when I took it but that was before I had taken any nursing courses. Those really schooled me, lol...oh the first exam with those NCLEX style questions was quite the...

  23. Transfering into LPN program from RN next month

    SWM2009 replied to BayLiner77's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Critical thinking is a big part of the LPN program as well so there is that. Do you know why you didn't pass? If its because answering NCLEX style questions is difficult for you, then I would suggest...
