1. Share your study techniques

   northmississippi replied to oldie's topic in General Students

   Do they allow you to record class lectures? Our school did and I loved being able to just lay in bed or go do some yard work and listen to my lectures. It's great to listen to on the way to and from school in your car. If you get a voice recorder, ha...

   northmississippi replied to JuleG's topic in Student Assist

   I know a nurse that went straight to nicu and is doing just fine. I"m sure there was a lot of training for it once she got there. Your success there probably depends on if you have someone who will really teach you and not go sit in a back room readi...

   northmississippi replied to Ann2515's topic in NCLEX

   Best book I had for NCLEX was Lacharities Prioritization And Delegation, along with the strategies section from ati, and a easy to read book called Freys 3000 bullets. You may want to just Google some pharm flashcards for free. And don't study the d...

   Is this a pharm question from a book? Sometimes those books have errors and the may have meant 150mg in 1.5ml. My old current math for meds book had a few of those typos.

15. LPN to RN worth it?

    northmississippi replied to Schoolnurselpn's topic in School

    Not make more money? Usually upgrading to RN gets you about 10k more a year. Having a Rn would open more doors if you ever left your current job and I hear many places are going to hire only Rn's. But if you have a good job with good retirement benef...
