    racefan88 replied to annettern2b's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    OK, everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but please get your facts straight. ECPI-Raleigh has one of the best first time NCLEX pass rates of any school in the area. I know this because A: it's...

  2. **Graduation June 2011 :)...Advice for NCLEX PLEASE

    racefan88 replied to Ericad85's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I just passed my NCLEX on 3/31 For me, it was a critical thinking exam. Knowing lab values, PRIORITY (can't stress that enough) and disease processes helped a lot. There aren't any obvious...

    Hello Everyone! I'm taking the NCLEX-PN on the 31st. To those who are so inclined, please say a prayer for me this Thursday at 10am. Best wishes and prayers will go up for my fellow LPN hopefuls...

  5. Therapeutic Diet in the DeWit textbook

    racefan88 replied to vindy's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    LOL! I remember that book started to fall apart in NUR114! We had to use duct tape to hold them together. Not just one or two but the entire class! I was glad to be finished with it. I still have...

    I remember it being in the back of the

  7. 4th day of school, and the instructor hates me...

    racefan88 replied to HorologyGirl's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Yet another excellent reason to read the text for yourself and NOT rely on lectures

  8. Any students currently/previously attended ECPI??

    racefan88 replied to ronda919's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Hello. I attend ECPI at the Raleigh campus and graduate next month. I'm curious about your Freshman O because we didn't have open book tests or quizes for that class. Be careful about thinking any...

  9. Tempers, bullies, and self created chaos!!

    racefan88 replied to squirly's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I feel for ya Squirly! I have been suffering through the same types of things in my program. I graduate in February and it can't come soon enough! I'm tired of the drama, the complaining when they...

  10. I have LOST the will to study....

    racefan88 replied to Dizzy Lizzy 1980's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I know just how you feel! Every couple of terms I have the same problem. I get so tired of studying all the time for all the tests, that I have to really push myself to study. I graduate in February...

  11. A worn out topic

    racefan88 replied to artistnurse's topic in General Nursing

    This is a good question. I'll be graduating soon and would love to hear more replies on this subject. I'll be watching this

  12. Does anyone else find this offensive?

    racefan88 replied to megan3485's topic in General Nursing

    I went to MA school before going to LPN school. Telling you about my programs (MA and LPN) is pointless because each MA and LPN program and what they include (phlebotomy, labs, etc) are different. So,...

  13. ECPI Raleigh April 2010 LPN??

    racefan88 replied to armorris8115's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Thx! I graduate in February and can't wait! How have you found the job market in our area? Do you still commute to Raleigh for work? Just wondering.

  14. Prerequisities classes for LPN classes

    racefan88 replied to Boose_santana2007's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I'm also in agreement with the above posters. I'm about half-way through my program and they didn't require prereqs, but I had to pass the TEAS test with a certain score (I can't remember) and then I...

  15. Teas test next week....anyone?? June 15th

    racefan88 replied to munchkins4mom's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    No, But I have taken it. You're right, stick with your gut. Algebra was on there and reading comp. Simple chemistry and english grammar. It's multiple choice so read the questions carefully and...

  16. Wondering if I'm doing the right thing..LPN School

    racefan88 replied to leapinglizards3's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Nursing Math was our first class. Brushing up on metric conversions, basic multiplication, division, and basic algebra would be a good start. The major book stores usually have these handy study...

    racefan88 replied to leapinglizards3's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I say go for it...but...having said that, be prepared. I attend MCI in the Raleigh campus and graduate in February. It IS a fast paced program. We, at one point, were having a test every other day!...

  18. There is nothing that can fix this is there? (ok it's a rant)

    racefan88 replied to anonymous1919's topic in General Nursing

    Congrats on your upcoming graduation! I'm sure you'll be a very caring nurse. It would be very interesting if we could fast forward to 6 months into your first nursing job and see what your opinion is...

  19. There is nothing that can fix this is there? (ok it's a rant)

    racefan88 replied to anonymous1919's topic in General Nursing

    And I do know for a fact that their med passes were scheduled around the fact that they needed to be in the dining room when meals came. Question...How do you know? HIPPA states that you're only...

  20. pre-delivery "grooming" issue?

    racefan88 replied to brillohead's topic in Ob/Gyn

    John, just something to keep in mind...I'm sure there are a lot of other "stallions" out there who would be happy to pay your wife the attention she wants and don't care about her being as hairless as...

  21. oh boy! im scared

    racefan88 replied to jenniboom's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    First, relax and take a deep breath. One of your first classes should be some sort of nursing math class. When I started my PN program, I was also weak in metric conversions. Your book should have...

  22. LVN or RN???

    racefan88 replied to mmmmmark's topic in General Nursing

    I agree. I've seen a lot of posts saying to go straight for RN, but I also considered the long wait and decided that I wasn't willing to lose 2 or 3 years waiting to get into a RN program. I would...

  23. Need advice desperately

    racefan88 replied to pageturnstyle's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Don't beat yourself up completely, it's hard to deal with these types of people. I know the type...late for class and/or clinicals on a regular basis, always trying to get around doing their own work...
