  1. Are general classes requried for RN after LVN?

    Streamline2010 replied to roaml's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    A RN school that's not specifically a bridge for LPN to RN might give you credit for Nursing I, but probably not anything else, but it depends on what work experience you might bring, too. This sheet...

  2. EXTREMELY CONFUSED !!! institute or communtiy college for LPN ?

    Streamline2010 replied to Jeannie89's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    In western PA, CNA earns $8-$12 might be average and $15 is tops. Starting RNs only get $22-$25 at best, lol. But some places, you can rent a 3BR townhouse for $700/month or buy a small house for...

  3. Anyone else in a diploma program?

    Streamline2010 replied to ashleyisawesome's topic in General Students

    Just out of morbid curiosity, how many hours of lecture do you get per week, and how many clinical hours? I'm in a diploma program. It's 24 months without the college part, which they want you to...

  4. Why are students going into LPN programs?

    Streamline2010 replied to leo8686's topic in General Students

    I thought of one other reason: Because you learn how to do the job. In the RN program that I am in, 'way back in Orientation, a student asked a question about some changes in the clinical...

  5. I did a stupid, stupid thing...Need Advise!!

    Streamline2010 replied to New_LPN's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    And, people need to remember the concept of privacy. Schools need to start teaching that idea, because it seems to be forgotten. Nobody is obligated or required to tell all of their personal...

  6. I did a stupid, stupid thing...Need Advise!!

    Streamline2010 replied to New_LPN's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    explain it? well, you were reorganizing your life after your losses, you needed time to grieve, a flexible schedule with sufficient time off, and when you had worked through all of that, you felt you...

  7. Why are students going into LPN programs?

    Streamline2010 replied to leo8686's topic in General Students

    In my area of mostly rural NW PA, the hospitals employ probably 2 LPNs for each RN. It's LPNs who do post-op in the outpatient surgery clinics. The small nursing homes here pay about $15/hr to...

  8. is Nursing School HARDER than Medical School?

    Streamline2010 replied to sunny d's topic in General Students

    ^^^ THAT! It's absolutely true. Overcomplication and the mentality that "we don't spoon-feed you" is exactly what makes nursing school such a miserable experience for many students. I have a...

  9. is Nursing School HARDER than Medical School?

    Streamline2010 replied to sunny d's topic in General Students

    what you said, plus, i can cite an even better example of set-up-to-fail: the diploma program that i am in subjects us to 6-7 hours of lecture three days per week, then two full days of clinicals for...

  10. Apathy in nurses and students

    Streamline2010 replied to freki's topic in General Students

    And most nurses are women, who have loads of child-rearing work and cooking / cleaning / laundry to do when they get home after work. Maybe their schedules are already full and their wallets are not....

  11. MacuHealth supplement - Contradicted for egg allergies?

    Streamline2010 posted a topic in Emergency

    Does anyone know if MacuHealth with LMZ3 is contraindicated for people allergic to eggs? My mom's doctor put her on it earlier this week, and now (Saturday night) she has fire-red palms and soles,...

  12. Nursing School while still working?

    Streamline2010 replied to djdietz's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I'm female; this thread popped up when i searched the What's New. Find somebody already in the program that you are applying to, and find out how the program is run, how many hours in lecture per...

  13. I wasn't hired because I failed the personality test???

    Streamline2010 replied to loveishope's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe they are not really hiring, and are just collecting resumes. You proved yourself on clinical, and failed a personality exam. That way, they have all of your info and do not have to hire....

  14. Are most people just against nursring as a profession?

    Streamline2010 replied to 1moretime's topic in General Students

    1moretime, if you like RN, then pursue RN. But there's an old adage that "the brightest ones go to med school." I used to think that was an insult to nurses, but I really don't, now that I've been...

  15. Oh how can I pass when 3 out of 4 answers seem correct

    Streamline2010 replied to Texasstudentnurse's topic in General Students

    look at and this book http://www.amazon.com/Test-Success-Test-Taking-Techniques-Beginning/dp/0803618948 and other Success books are generally recommended. Part of getting NCLEX / nursing school...

  16. Clinical Vent

    Streamline2010 replied to bri2012's topic in General Students

    Didn't the school give you a meds policy that says exactly what the rules are for a student passing meds? Generally you can't do it without the instructor present, until you get to a certain level....

  17. Shoes for Plantar Fasciitis

    Streamline2010 replied to itthybitthythpider's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    What I think would work best for me (pf w/ very low arches) is a running shoe. Pf sufferers usually benefit from having a shoe that's elevated at the heel and slopes downhill to the toe....

  18. So depressed and angry

    Streamline2010 replied to Isabellah's topic in General Students

    This past summer term, over 50% of the class failed exam 1, fully 75%-80% failed exam 2, and people started doing better after that, only the most savvy instructor offered a 3-session test-taking...

  20. Which temp is more accurate Oral vs Tympanic??

    Streamline2010 replied to SonorityGenius's topic in General Nursing

    Seems logical to me. People are left or right brain. Circuits on one side would get heavier usage. On a serious note, I've also been told on nursing school that tympanic is more accurate, but the...

  21. Immanuel Kant - Theory/Ethics

    Streamline2010 replied to BROWNEYEDNURSE13's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Every time someone mentions Immanuel Kant, I think of The Philosopher's Song - Monty Python Live at the Hollywood Bowl

  22. Upset. Waitlist classes.. Don't know what to do now :(

    Streamline2010 replied to lvnibclc's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Psych and math (and Soc 101) are so generic that almost any taken anywhere will transfer. Look at Rio Salado / Maricopa online. About $625 for 3 credits plus whatever the book costs there, in Jan...

    Streamline2010 replied to reed201's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Exactly. And there is a lot of necessity out there now, and there will be even more of that in the future. Many people in their 40s through early 60s lost their careers due to loss of manufacturing...
