Man, sometimes I wish it was a 75 in my school. Ours is an 80, they don't round up on tests. But if you have a .5 (or above) they will round up to the next number on your final grade in the class.

My program is 14 months long, and I hope to graduate in December. It's a fast track program and our class times depend on the actual class. Like right now I'm doing Pharm which requires 30 hours and fundamentals II which requires 60 theory and 30 hou...

I'm not good at studying at all, actually I hate it. It was a real struggle for me at first, but I've finally got the hang of how to study effectively and what I should focuse on when it comes to testing. When I got to fundamentals the NCLEX style qu...

I started at the end of Sep with 30 students, this is our last week of our 3rd mod and we now have 17 in our class. Lost over half our class after the 1st mod and gained 2 new students in our 3rd mod. I have 3 more tests to go this week and I'll be s...

You've goten this far I'm sure you'll do fine. Since you passed the first test, I'm sure your test scores will continue to go up w/ each test.

...for a beginner. I just started school (about to finish my 2nd mod) and the stethoscope they have at school really iritate my ears. They are so uncomfortable. A couple of my classmates have purchased a Littman one of them you can hear way to much t...

I still have a loooooooooonnng way to go. My tentative grad date is Dec 2010...lol. I'm hoping to make it through in one shot.

I just started, so I'm not as far as you. But my A&P class was pretty much a self taught class. All the teacher did was read from slides, when asked a question 8 times out of 10 she didn't know the answer. Was always in a rush to get the class en...

So it's only been a week for me and it was a long one. My A&P teacher moves so fast I don't think anyone in my class can keep up w/ her. I'm going to have to get a digital recorder. We've had one quiz so far (A&P) and I got an 80% anything be...

Oh...wow..I guess they have pretty big labs.

I start on Mon so I can't really relate. But I'll tell your not the first and certainly won't be the last. At least you've learned what you did wrong and can go back in there and kick booty...lol. I'm sure it's hard, but try not to beat yourself up o...

I had orientation this past Thursday which seemed long, drawn out and unprepared. There are a lot of students (which I'm a bit bumbed about), seems like there's over 25 (and there's not supposed to be), I'm gonna take an actual head count on Mon. The...

I believe you take them right before the program starts, cause you have to past them before you enter the program. Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, the classes are free unless you fail them then you have to pay a $200 fee.

Don't worry yourself, the science isn't a biggie. I've stated this on here before, but I took the test not even knowing I was taking a test and new nothing about the TEAS and scored an 85, and I haven't taken a science class since HS (10yrs ago). Mos...

I agree with there being a clinical and salary section.

I haven't been there, but I do have it on my list of schools to check out. They state that they will transfer 20 credits from the school you received your PN to their school to bridge to their RN. Hope more repsond I'd like to know a little more abou...

...starting 9/28 day classes. I'm supposed to start that day and just registered for classes last week. Still waiting for my letter though.:uhoh21:

Yes, WIA is from your state. I actually found out about it on here. You can search WIA on here and I'm sure you'll see lots of posts about it. Or google WIA [your state].

If your hair is coming out of your shirt and creeping towards your neck and long enough to make a ponytail, then YES please cover it up or shave it off. If it's just a few stragles, then I guess it's ok, still wouldn't want to see it though. If you d...

i :heartbeat florida!!!!! go gaters...lol

Are you sure you wonna move here..lol...j/k. :) Yorktown area is cool (and you hardly hear of crime in the area), depending on what area you live it can get expensive, I'd say pretty much the Tabb area is more costly as far as homes are concerned. It...

I don't have any personal experiences w/ the VA (not even a nurse yet). But my mom used to work for a VA hospital as an RN, and she really really really misses it and wished she lived near one. She keeps telling me if my fam and I move to the tampa a...

I start on the 28th, and (like everyone else) very nervous. I have student orientation on Thursday and we'll be getting our books then. I plan on reading a couple chapters the whole weekend, to get myself prepared. Especially if they try and surprise...

It is a high loan, for the amount of time your in school. But I guess it just depends on how fast you want to get school over with and start working as an LVN. Most private schools are more costly than public. I will be attending Medical Careers Inst...
