  1. The Last Minute Shuffle!

    HeiseC posted a topic in LPN, LVN Students

  2. How do you study?

    HeiseC posted a topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I'm curious how other's study. I never really had a plan of action, so i'm really being tested with my skills. I study by making a neat outline from my book, my pulse pen, and the powerpoints in...

  4. The aftermath of complaining about mistreatment

    HeiseC replied to eelise11's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    honestly, keep your ducks all in a row. if you are targeted and kicked out, at least you can say that what ever it may be, isn't true. Life happens. we can't push pause for a year or less and press...

    HeiseC replied to DelleBrock's topic in New York Nursing

    I don't know how it is in your neck of the woods but in mine, CNA exam is what is called "challenge the state". If you know the material's, the skills and can pass the test, then you will get your...

    HeiseC replied to lorarami's topic in LPN, LVN Students

  8. The Last Minute Shuffle!

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

    I agree. I actually worked some things out, so that it won't hurt me so bad. I agree with your statement about we bleed a little for our dreams. I've lost more than just blood during this whole year....

  9. How should I study during nursing school??

    HeiseC replied to STU4ADN's topic in General Students

    For me, I record my teacher (with her permission of course) and I review my notes and books. I can slow down her lectures so that my brain can process the information. You may want to find out what...

  10. Are all nursing schools really competitive to get into?

    HeiseC replied to kelkel587's topic in General Students

    With my school, I thought I'd never get in. I had a low GPA, and some of my grades were above a C+, but still made me feel unsatisfactory. (I had mainly B's rarely A's in the pre-req's). When I got...

  11. Just for fun

    HeiseC posted a topic in General Students

    I was given some medication practice and I thought I'd share one, I coudln't quite get. (I do have an answer key, but my question is reason) Ordered: A 185 lb. Man would receive __ mg. per day of...

  13. Being prepared for the RN program

    HeiseC replied to slangley's topic in General Students

    I agree about getting your CNA. I wish I went for mine since I could have graduated high school with my CNA. I didn't grab that opportunity because my parents thought it would be better for me to get...

  14. Just for fun

    HeiseC replied to HeiseC's topic in General Students

    Oh gee. I could see how, if it isn't converted right. My problem would be the conversion. I keep wanting to put 1/1000 but I have to know what goes with what so that it cancels. I would guess the...

  15. Just for fun

    HeiseC replied to HeiseC's topic in General Students

    I didn't mean to take it personally. I dropped all my freinds because they all were laughing behind my back. Said I'll never become a nurse. One of them said she was going to do the 'fast track' but...

  16. Just for fun

    HeiseC replied to HeiseC's topic in General Students

    @ Pneumothorax: I'm just wondering how to get to the answer. Everyone thinks differently, and I'm just curious to see the different thought patterns. @GrnTea: Its no joke. I feel a little off put...

  17. Being prepared for the RN program

    HeiseC replied to slangley's topic in General Students

    I'm completed week 2 and am working on week 3. 1) ALWAYS ask your instructor if you can record. I like to record the lecture because I have a tendoncy to forget or miss what is said, and sometimes its...

  18. Head to toe assessments on classmates?

    HeiseC replied to Clovery's topic in General Students

    I maybe a first semister student, but my 2 cents go towards it being more awkward for the male students. When we learned how to find the apical pulse, a male student turned his head away from me and...

    HeiseC replied to my4helpers's topic in General Students

    My advice is to buy your own pressure cuff at either your local store or a website i heard of call 'allheart.com'. I have a hard time distiguishing sounds myself, but make sure all is quiet first and...

    HeiseC posted a topic in General Students

    I am a freshman nursing student. I'm excited and over the summer I attended a Jumpstart program that allowed me to see how to do dosage calculations. I'm worried about this process, because it still...

    HeiseC replied to HeiseC's topic in General Students

    thats a great website. I'll add it to my list of wonders :) I actually now am able to comprehend a littl more. My instructor taught us a 'box' method where looking for/1 = dosage ordered/1 x...

  22. Dosage!

    HeiseC replied to HeiseC's topic in General Students

    Thank you all for help. I'm not a math genious but for some odd reason I do really well in it. (Better than english sometimes). I want to stay on top of my game throughout nursing school. Im buying...

    HeiseC replied to studentrnnurse's topic in General Students

    I can see how it can be overwhelming. First, relax and find your happy place. I am just starting my first week, but I've prepared mentally for this task. Second, figure out what you need to read, and...
