My ultimate desired areas are the NICU, PICU, or Pediatrics. I have a passion for working with sick babies and/or children!

It takes me about 20 minutes to get to school. The drive for clinical takes me anywhere from 10 minutes to an hour depending on where I am scheduled.

I will be entering my last semester this fall at Lakeview College of Nursing.

Hi there! I just wanted to say congrats for being accepted into the program. I attend Lakeview as well, however, I am at the Charleston campus. I will be in my final semester this fall!!! The program is great, although difficult at times. The bigges...

I will graduate December 15, 2012 with my BSN!

I absolutely loved my Psych rotation! To be honest, I was absolutely petrified when I first started because I had know idea what I would be dealing with in clinical, but my first couple of times on the units totally put me at ease. The hospital that ...

Yay! I have one week as well! I am so ready for this semester and I have a feeling it is going to be my best semester yet!

I am getting ready to start my 3rd semester and would really like to work in L&D, NICU, or Peds! I have always wanted to do this since I was a child. Of course if I have to start off on the Adult unit that is just fine!

We have to have a 77 at our school and of course there is no rounding here either.

It is my 3rd semester! Monday: Med/Surg Clinical 6am-12:15 Tuesday: OB Lecture 8am-11am Med/Surg Lecture 1:30pm-4:30pm Thursday: OB Clinical 1pm-7pm Online: Nursing Research

We have navy blue pants and a white polo with our school emblem embroidered on the left side of the chest. I could do without the white, but I am glad that we don't have white pants like I have seen a lot of schools have.

I have to drive 25 minutes to campus 4 days a week, and two days a week I have to drive 45 minutes to clinicals. I hate having to drive so far, but the experience (especially for clinicals) is well worth it. Next semester I have clinicals in two diff...

Thank you very much!!

I am working on a health history report for my health assessment class and have a question about one of the subjects we are supposed to touch on. All it states is "use of safety measures." I have looked in my book (Jarvis) and can't find any informat...

I passed my medication calc test with a 100%!!!! We had to get a 100% and if you didn't you get two more tries and you can't pass meds in clinicals until you pass it. There's a little weight off my shoulders...and I do mean little. LOL. Everyone is...

I just took my fundamentals test on Monday. Our grades were posted this morning and I got a B. Not exactly what I wanted, but hey I will take it for the first test. 2nd and 3rd semesters students said that a lot of people fail the first test. It is d...

Done!

My uniform consists of a white polo shirt with our school logo on the left side above the heart, and Landau navy blue eased fit scrub pants. We also have a white lab coat with our school logo patched on the left sleeve. Also, like the majority of you...

You sound like me! I have worked 3rd shift for almost 9 years and 2years of those I have been attending class all day as well. My NS schedule is kind of rough, but I am sure I will adjust my sleep schedule accordingly..lol. And yes, it sounds weird, ...

Hi everyone! I was wondering if anyone has taken the ATI for critical thinking. If you have, could you tell me what it involves? There was a critical thinking portion we had to take on the HESI 2 and I am wondering if its anything like that. We will...

I am right there with you!! I just got home from getting all of my books for this semester which is making it all more real, and it will be even more so when I go to orientation on Thursday!! Of course right now I am complete sticker shock from pa...

Are you going to Lakeview in Danville?

I just got my rejection email today as well! I am lucky to have all my tuition and books covered, but I have nothing left over for supplies. I do work full time, but I solely support a family of 3 and most often only bring home enough to pay the bill...

Reading about all of you having orientation already is making me even more excited/nervous. I have orientation from 9am-3:30pm on Aug 19th and start class Aug 23rd. I have heard that our orientation consists of going over the school handbook(which is...
