    garnetgirl29 replied to rxy1223's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Step back...take a breather. It sounds like you are well equipped to pass the nclex. You have been through a lot, and while this may not be what you thought was the right time to have a baby, it's...

    garnetgirl29 replied to hottjboogie's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

  7. Question about the schools in NC

    garnetgirl29 replied to cocot's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    I live in Charlotte & the public schools are not year round. Although, I wish they would switch to year round because always having a group on vacation would be a huge help to the overcrowding in...

  8. New Student, Not Sure Which Route to go?!?!

    garnetgirl29 replied to Sunchine123!'s topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    In North Carolina, hospitals do not hire LPN's. Although, I did see a job listing for an LPN in the outpatient services at a nearby hospital & there is another one that hires LPN's as surgical...

  9. Passed my nclex!!!!!! :)

    garnetgirl29 replied to natalciapl's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Congratulations!!!!

  10. Feel like I'm not learning a thing in Nursing School. Advice?

    garnetgirl29 replied to eelise11's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    In our first semester, our clinicals basically involved CNA work & communication techniques. We did a lot of bed baths & bed changes. Second semester, the best things I did was observe a lady...

  11. Shot Records

    garnetgirl29 replied to LeeLeeTheGPN's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    You are lucky you were able to find your shots. My pediatrician retired several years ago, and the office has since closed. So, my instructor advised me to check with my high school. Since I graduated...

  12. Pharmacology & Anatomy

    garnetgirl29 replied to NurseStudentTill2013's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Congrats! I had to take A&P ahead of time, but pharmacology was part of my nursing program. That was a tough class & failing it meant failing the entire program. Thankfully, I passed!

  13. I'm done!!! :)

    garnetgirl29 replied to garnetgirl29's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    lisarenee0320 - Congrats and good luck to you!! The community college I did my LPN at has and LPN-ADN bridge program & I'm planning to apply to that. Then, I'll transfer to a university for BSN....

    garnetgirl29 replied to garnetgirl29's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Thanks so much everyone! I'm taking a breather while I wait to take my nclex. I have all the leg work done & sent off, now just to relax. The mock nclex I took at school predicted that I have a...

  17. Pharm. Tech going into LPN

    garnetgirl29 replied to misscriss90's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I would also recommend waiting until you move to go to LPN school. That way, you won't have to pay to take your license & if the school you choose has a good reputation in your area, you would be...

  18. before school starts

    garnetgirl29 replied to Jazziepants's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    No, we didn't have to do that. We were required to take anatomy & developmental psych ahead of time, but were not told to study anything. We learned the equivalents in pharmacology our 2nd...

  19. I PASSED PHARM

    garnetgirl29 replied to chandrapn2011's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Good for you!! Pharm is tough. I had it last semester & barely passed it. But, in my program, its part of the program & if you fail it, you fail the program, so you're lucky you could retake...

  20. Question ;)

    garnetgirl29 replied to Amylovesnursing's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I'll be graduating from my LPN program in a couple weeks. I've never been a CNA, but I chose LPN first because I heard the LPN program has more hands on/clinical experiene. Since I'm brand new to...

  21. Backpack on wheels..Is this really necessary?

    garnetgirl29 replied to luixbeauty's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I bough a bag on wheels from my college book store in my first semester of nursing school. I used it for a few weeks, then put it in the back of my closet. Some days I need to carry a LOT (my HUGE...

  22. Bouts of Anger... help!

    garnetgirl29 replied to meatballgirl's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Maybe look up some meditation techniques to help yourself relax? I drive an hour each way to/from class and I used that time to listen to my lecture recordings so it don't feel like it's wasted time....

  23. Another Class of 2013 student!

    garnetgirl29 replied to rockinmom's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Congratulations! I'm graduating this month. My program accepts 80 students each ear, and there were about 250

  24. Favorite clinical so far.....

    garnetgirl29 replied to seanynjboy's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I sort-of feel jipped on our clinical rotations. I though I'd love peds, but there were more students than patients and everyone had RSV, so not a lot of experience there. The floor was well staffed...

  25. LPN program & new mom?!?!?

    garnetgirl29 replied to vlynn08's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    You will definitely need a GOOD support system and very reliable child care. You are definitely going to be sleep deprived. If your program is at all like mine though, our first semester was the...
