Hi...I'm so sorry for your situation. I am inclined to agree with you that a D is a D; however, it sounds as though the students that moved on to the next class had a higher percentage grade than yours and only a certain number were needed to fill s...

Congrats!!! Third time's a charm!!!! :)

Congrats!!! Third time's a charm!!! Edit-Oops didn't think this one went through. Sorry for duplicate post!

I am so glad you asked this question!!!!! Additionally, I'm glad that everyone seems to be in agreement that keeping old, outdated texts is useless. I have quite a few books from my prereqs that I'd decided to hold onto for reference, but after rea...

Hi...In my program we are allowed to miss one clinical day. If we miss more than one, we are required to hire and pay a tutor for the day/night. The head of the department is rather strict about this rule. I'm not sure if this is the same for most...

Awww....I'm so sorry you feel the way you do. Sounds to me as though your parents are very understanding and in no way did you disappoint them. You should definitely be proud of what you have accomplished so far. Not passing the NCLEX exam may be ...

I'll be starting my second year as a part-time LPN student the second week of September. My hope is that after completing the LPN program I'll be able to bridge over into an RN program at one of the local community colleges, provided that I pass the...

I have to wear white scrub pants, a hunter green top w/the school logo on the front, white shoes, and white lab coat (if we so chose to wear it). I'm not crazy about it.

Have not heard of a "clicker device". I was a little weary when you said that once you answer you can't go back and change it. I am famous for doing that. Usually when I do change the answer though, I change it from the right one to the wrong one....

Arghhh....Where do I begin? I started a 5-week Micro class two weeks ago and since then we have covered about 9-10 chapters. I have class Mon and Wed from 6-10 and Micro Lab on Thurs 6-10. Right now I am about 3 chapters behind, I have an assignme...

Hi Briterz, Thank you and congrats to you too! A B in Micro is no small feat either!!! That's one tough class, especially crammed into so little time! Keep up the good work! I hear you about the nice relaxing day at the spa....I should take advan...

Hi, I was wondering, am I correct in assuming that you'll be going to school part-time while working full-time? My concern would be that those hours will conflict with the classroom and clinical schedule, but it doesn't hurt to ask beforehand. In my...

Yay....Just found out I got an A in Micro and an A in Micro Lab!!!! So psyched!!!

Good luck! I just finished a 5 week Micro course and it was a killer. We covered the whole entire book of 20 some odd chapters! It was insanely intense! I had class 2 nights a week from 6-10 and lab one night, same time. Honestly, I can't believe...

Hi, Congratulations on getting accepted into the LPN program! I am starting my second year in September. The first year was difficult for me b/c I was taking additional courses, such as Nutrition and Growth & Development. I feel that if I had ...

I believe we need a 75% to pass our LPN program. I heard someone got kicked out for failing one test last semester though.

I should have titled this "Microbiology Crammed into 5 Weeks!".... Anyways I've made it through four weeks....Just had my Micro Lab final exam tonight. I'm hoping I got at least a B, but I'm kicking myself because I always tend to second guess mysel...

My community college didn't require any prerequisites for the LPN program, except for the Accuplacer Test, which is also required for the RN program. The LPN program I am in now is a 2 year part-time certificate program.

Hi...Whatever you do just please don't give up! I know at my school if one fails the LPN program they are welcome to take it over again. In your case, you should definitely speak to an advisor to see if this is an option. If not, I think maybe you...

Unfortunately getting a good night sleep is easier said than done right now....I so look forward to finishing this class and being on "vacation" for a month! The down side is I'll still have to work though. Thanks for your advice!

Hi Sayitaintso....You are so right, I will definitely make a list of what I need to do and make sure I put a dent in it this weekend. Currently, I am about 10 chapters behind and have numerous assignments to complete in my Micro class and Lab. Beli...

Have you tried covering it with makeup? I think there are some types of makeup specifically for the purpose of covering veins, freckles, and even tattoos. It's definitely worth looking into as opposed to getting it removed. I have three tattoos: on...

Showing signs of grief and/or stress certainly does not make you look weak...It makes you look human! My mom passed away in 2006 at the young age of 53. She had fought a courageous battle against colon cancer for upwards of 10 years. During her f...

Good luck tomorrow!

I just posted but then saw this. I definitely agree. I have the 4-door sedan and it is quite spacious.
