  1. Losing Motivation

    echo56 replied to Qbert's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I may sound cliche here.... with everything you've lost recently, wouldn't it be great to have something that is totally "yours" that no one can claim but you? You can do

  2. Ever had a nursing instructor hate you?

    echo56 replied to bustthewave's topic in General Students

    Gosh, if this post doesn't take me back to last October! I was convinced (and rightfully so) that my Fundamentals instructor hated me, belittled me and was going to wash me out of the program. She...

  3. Any one use the Alek classes?

    echo56 replied to echo56's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I've played around with the sample course for a couple of days. Although you don't have a text book to refer to, the explanations and examples are good. $20 for a month of tutoring does seem very...

    echo56 replied to student81's topic in Online Distance Learning

    You took the words right out of my mouth! I was going to ask if anyone had today,

  5. Help! Online Chm for nursing or General Chm 1 (without lab) this Spring

    echo56 replied to maanggohs's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I'm not sure how this program all works, but you might want to look at Straighterline.com. I've been looking at this program, and wonder how it would be. I know Excelsior accepts it, but that's about...

  7. Looking for a school to obtain ASN

    echo56 replied to kjlewis76's topic in General Nursing

    That's great that this has worked out for you. They always say "where there is a will, there is a way". You just proved it. Congratulations! Me? I'm a

  8. Should I get a part time job?

    echo56 posted a topic in General Students

    We've just started clinicals this week. Although I enjoy this, I'm realizing just how much experience I actually have, translate that to none! My question. The facillity we're doing clinicals is very...

  9. Looking for a school to obtain ASN

    echo56 replied to kjlewis76's topic in General Nursing

    Congrats for wanting to do this! I think I'd take a roundabout method in accomplishing my goals, just remember this is one opinion only. I'd go LPN first. There are some classes you could do in the...

  10. failed foundations of nursing

    echo56 replied to snowybee's topic in General Students

    Wow. As I read this post, I see a variety of issues to be addressed. If you failed after you basically "gave up", and then missed it by 5pts, you must've done something right somewhere. It's a shame...

  13. Anatomy Class???

    echo56 replied to jballa34's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Anytime I have to memorize a diagram, I do the photo copy thing/white out the names. 15 times does sound about right. You'll remember enough to get the test finished, and yes you may forget. But what...

  14. Teaching Infection Control to Preschoolers

    echo56 replied to chinacatSN's topic in General Students

    I'd still do the potato idea... even if you're not there to follow through, the teacher can and they will get something from it. Also my little ones played "hide your face". If they were going to...

  15. I just lost my brother, hoping to get some feedback

    echo56 replied to ~Mi Vida Loca~RN's topic in General Students

    My thoughts and prayers are with you. Always remember you're not alone with this, you have support from here, you have support at school. I can't say the pain of loss will ever go away, but the pain...

  17. A&P PLEEEASE help!!!

    echo56 replied to sk8inghunny's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you have a syllabus for your class, go to that chapter. I imagine you have objectives for the unit. Focus on those objectives and the answers for those. Then do the vocabulary for the chapter....

  18. How to learn medications without a pharmacology class?

    echo56 replied to Dazglue's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    If you have a Davis drug book for nurses, it would help. Go to the categories and then make your own med cat sheets. I've got tons of them.... I can't imagine a nursing program without

  19. What to do w/ all these pre-reqs?!

    echo56 replied to Wanna_BA_Nurse's topic in Nursing Career

    I think it all depends on the specific school. In our area we have 2 separate ADN programs. One is a CC with pre req of A & PI and II, and micro. At the University they require eng101, chem,...

  20. Nervous!

    echo56 replied to Robin0426's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    My LPN program started last August. Before the start date I had tons of folks telling me that it was worse than an RN program. Is it? Not sure, but it is very intense, time consuming and requires...

  22. How much math is involved in nursing school?

    echo56 replied to AddisonLawrence03's topic in General Students

    Math was my biggest block to the thought of NS. Fortunately my phobia/fear didn't last long, cause we just finished Math class and I passed. (better than I thought I would at least) Add, subtract,...

  23. Practicing NG tube insertion?

    echo56 replied to want2banrn's topic in General Students

    We're using mannequins, and the video we've watched was of mannequins. I know years ago it was standard practice to use other students, but those days are past from what I've been told by our...

    echo56 posted a topic in General Students

    I'm just curious... any nursing students in their 50's? After many years of having the desire, last spring I decided to apply to LPN school. Was accepted, and started the one year program in August....
