  1. OB Tech/LPN Scrub

    granolatrees replied to granolatrees's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Being offended is useless and in no way productive. I had surgical rotations in school, not that I need to explain that. If they wanted a CST, they would have posted for it, not an LPN. Useless post...

  3. Average TEAS V Score? Your score?

    granolatrees posted a topic in TEAS Exam Help

    Took the TEAS V. I got a 78. I thought oh, no. That's awful. I hadn't studied a lick, so it's better than I'd expected...for not knowing what to expect. When I told the admissions office I got a 78,...

  4. Davenport Waitlist (LPN)

    granolatrees posted a topic in Michigan Nursing

    Hey folks, Just wondering if anyone had any idea what the waitlist is at DU. I'll be going for my LPN. Of the gen. ed courses, I have 13 of the 24 credits that can transfer in. Leaving me with only my...

  5. Davenport PN Fall 2014

    granolatrees replied to shan409's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I completed DU-Midland LPN program this summer. During the middle of our year, they changed some of the planning and "synced" their coursework with the Warren campus. It put a delay on getting grades...

  8. Clinical difficulties!

    granolatrees replied to lakencassady's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I heard someone say once that for the first year of anyone's nursing career, they should come home and review/research the diseases they treated at work that day. Your texts are a great reference to...

  9. Clinical difficulties!

    granolatrees replied to lakencassady's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    You should look into your Fundamentals or Med Surg book, as CHF s/s should have been covered at some point along your LPN education.. Edit: A&P isn't going to teach you s/s of disease

  13. Questions to ask while School Shopping

    granolatrees posted a topic in LPN to RN

    Hi folks, God willing I will graduate and become licensed this fall as an LPN. I LOVE my school, but it's expensive. I'm looking at getting my RN at a community college and then do a BSN completion...

  14. Being bullied at school (I thought we were all adults here!)

    granolatrees posted a topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I am only halfway through my first semester, and I left clinical in tears, called my advisor, and now have an appointment with the department head/one of my instructors on Monday, because I am 27...

  15. Being bullied at school (I thought we were all adults here!)

    granolatrees replied to granolatrees's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    First of all, it is what it is. I've worked in social services with children for 10 years. And while I agree it's often a frivolously used term, bullying is bullying and I am not here to discuss...

  16. Being bullied at school (I thought we were all adults here!)

    granolatrees replied to granolatrees's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    How do you do that? Really. I do not know how to assertively address this passive-aggressive b.s. tactfully. I honestly somehow missed that

  17. Hair Color + Piercings + Job Search

    granolatrees posted a topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I am IN LOVE with the bright hair color trend. And I'm dying to (no pun intended) to try it out. I start clinicals next month, so I will wait to see and follow their protocols. I am wondering,...

  18. Clinical uniforms?

    granolatrees replied to kjrobinetteSN's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    School issued scrubs. Black pants (which we could buy elsewhere, but the school sells 'em very cheap @ $15/pair). Black scrub tops with red piping. School logo patch we have to adhere appropriately to...

  19. **** hits the fan right before school starts, naturally.

    granolatrees posted a topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I start nursing school in 16 days. Due to Medicaid changes, my caseload at work got cut...and I'm now working a different job...for $8/hour... nearly half what I was making. Boyfriend lost his job...

  21. What is your school schedule like?

    granolatrees replied to granolatrees's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I feel like you all are spending so much more time in class/clinicals than I have scheduled. Unless I'm seriously missing something, I believe my lecture/lab/clinical time is pretty short and isolated...

    granolatrees replied to JenniferKverneland's topic in LPN to RN

    There's no other community college within feasible driving distance a few days a week? Maybe check out some other schools policies. Maybe this is more of a school policy than anything else as a way to...

  24. Does this happen to you, too?

    granolatrees posted a topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Anytime I tell someone I'm going for the LPN, their instant reaction is: WHY?!?!::snaggletooth:: THERE BE NO JOBS!!!-(!!! I've honestly lost my patience to deal with this. Because I want to. That's...
