:balloons: Hello. I am a Hard of Hearing Student Nurse starting a LPN program in August. I wear Behind the Ear hearing aids and have an amplified stethoscope. Is anyone else here a "differently abled" student nurse?

Hi No one can get all of the reading done, it is impossible. I graduated laast year after your first test, you will see what kinds of info is most important and you can skim and concentrate on the important parts. I did this and passed with A's and...

At our facility we just have to chart on pts with antibiotics, medicare charting is done during the day.

Thanks! I took a job in LTC. Dee

I Passed!

I Passed!

I Just took the exam today. I think I passed. I hope I passed. I think my saunders book prepared me for the format of the questions, but I found It really hard. It shut off at 85 and I felt like freaking out. I took the NCLEX PN.

Today is the day! At this point I just want to get it over with!

I am so nervous, but i quit studying at dinnertime tonight. Wish me luck!

My clinical instructor said unless we were extremely ill to show up and she would assess us quickly to see if she thinks we are safe to work with the patients. If not, she sends us home.

I am starting week seven with A's in all of my classes and clinicals are going well. We have four 10 week quarters. I am really nervous about the finals. They are comprehensive and worth 60% of your grade. All I do is sleep, eat, study, and work. ...

I am one of those people. Great at book work but clinicals are a challenge. I am planning this fall to try to pair up with my opposite so we can help each other. She can help me practice my clinical skills in the labs, and I can tutor her in med m...

We will be in the same graduating class! I am here in Massachusetts. At thity there were lots younger than me too.

Not too many people can say that!:)

I am starting nursing school, and I am an "out" lesbian. How out are people, in general in the health field? Do they have a gay/lesbian nursing association?

I am in Massachusetts now but was born in Whitely county. My Papaw banked in Willaimsburg... we were in Rockholds, even smaller.

No I wasnt talking about you at all.:) Sorry if it seemed that way because you had the last post. :uhoh21: It just seems like LPNs get lumped in with CNAs by a lot of people...more "civilians" than professionals. I wish everyone were more educat...

I am starting an LPN nursing program this fall. I have heard "Oh you are only going to be an LPN?" so many times. First of all, all of the RN school were full with long waiting lists. I have pre- req's with a 4.0. This shool is all day every day,...

Thirty years old, no children. I am feeling mature and able to handle the demands of nursing school!

I am at Assabet Valley LPN School in Marlborough Massachusetts. Even though it is "only" an LPN school it was very competitive to get in. Most of us have pre-req's for RN out of the way. 100% pass rate for boards there. Yea! Assabet!

$300.00 here. Three pairs of pants, three school shirts, one turtleneck embroidered with school name, two nursing vests (ugg), a pair of nursemates, two name tags, three school patches, and a "professional watch". Not too bad I guess. I can't wait t...

I am a grown person and I have to support myself. Could I be a nurse for free? No. Would I live in poverty to be a nurse? No. Call me a realist, or just call me a single woman. That said, I have always wanted to be a nurse. I was a candy stripe...

I start a LPN progrm august 31. I am exited and nervous all at once. ( and we already have had orientation and have been given homework for over the summer!):uhoh21:
