  1. ATI Mental Health

    SWM2009 replied to juliejewels47's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    My suggestions as an ATI survivor :) 1. Read the ATI book and complete the questions at the end of each chapter 2. Do the practice exam and create a focused review and review the topics on the focused...

  2. what kind of bag? backpack? booking?

    SWM2009 replied to Cynt87's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I had a rolling bag. I injured my shoulder in a car accident several years back and my shoulder could not handle all that weight from the heavy books. I also loved that I could fit everything..books,...

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

  4. how to study nclex pn

    SWM2009 replied to abarnes2's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I'm scheduled to take NCLEX PN on Jan 25th. I feel like I am generally ok on content but need to work more on strategy. So right now I'm reading the Kaplan PN strategies book. I am also doing Kaplan...

  5. Clinicals..funnest or hardest part?

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

    For me it really depended on the clinical instructor. I had a great one, some not so bad ones, and one who was just mean and made clinicals

  6. Study Books

    SWM2009 replied to Mainergal2000's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I have the LPN Notes. I used it regularly at clinicals and loved that it was sized perfectly to fit in my scrubs pocket. I prefer the apps I have on my phone but I had clinical instructors who did not...

  7. Study time

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

    Wow! Then listen to the wise full timers around here..my class/study schedule as a part timer was not as intense. In class for lecture/lab 4 hours 2 times a week plus one day of clinical was about...

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

    I have no idea what Contemporary Mathematics is....hopefully someone else around here has taken it and can chime

  9. Best Christmas gift ever....I passed the NCLEX-VN!!

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

    Congratulations!

  10. Study time

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

    Are you in a full time program? I was in part time program that allowed me to take one class at a time but took longer, 18 months, instead of the full time program with was 12 months long. Obviously...

  11. MAT 155

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

    Its hard to answer your question without knowing the actual name of the course. MAT 155 could mean different math courses in different colleges. In my community college MAT 155 is calculus and the...

  12. Drive

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

    It is doable. Always give yourself plenty of time to get there. What helped me a lot was telling myself I wasn't going to be doing that commute forever even though it sometimes felt that way, lol....

  13. Drive

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

    My school was 45 minutes to 1 hour away depending on traffic. Throw in winter weather and we are talking 2+ hours. Then there were clinicals which were 90 minutes to 2 hours away, one

  14. Dumb question....

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

    Carpooling is good but be careful who you choose to carpool with because the school won't give a hoot whose fault it was that you were

    My school was 45 minutes to 1 hour away depending on traffic. Throw in winter weather and we are talking 2+ hours. Then there were clinicals which were 90 minutes to 2 hours away, one way. I survived...

  16. high standard

    SWM2009 replied to jess4923's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    My program was a minimum 80% to pass with no rounding. If you score 79.9%? Too bad so sad. For ATI exit, at least a 97% chance of passing NCLEX which equated to around 76% individual score. If you...

  17. 18 months ago, I began this journey and finally the end is near

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

    I registered for NCLEX last Friday 12/13 and yesterday, 12/18, my ATT arrived. I was told it would take 2-3 weeks but it wasn't even a week. Yikes. I better get started on that NCLEX

  20. why are you going the LPN route?

    SWM2009 replied to Cynt87's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Reason #1 There was NO WAITING LIST. I just graduated and will be taking NCLEX PN soon. Meanwhile, the same folks who were on the community college waiting list with me are still on the waiting list....

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

    I have not heard of such a long wait. I just registered Continental testing, and PearsonVue yesterday. My school also sent the necessary paperwork yesterday and I expect to get my authorization to...

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

    Thanks. I passed the ATI exit :). So relieved that's over. I have the graduation ceremony and then the Holidays to look forward to now and no school stress hanging over my head! Happy

  24. Binder or Notebook? Extra reference books?

    SWM2009 replied to stephanie10414's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    It comes down to preference but personally I preferred a notebook instead of a binder. I found binders to be too bulky and I was already currying a ton of bulky heavy
