    Opinion on supplemental books

    Iridescent Orchid replied to Kaligirl02's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    You are very welcome! It is true, I have some I haven't even touched for the courses I've taken, they're just sitting on the shelf...and they were like $25 each...LOL, definitely could have put that...

    Just changed my major back to nursing

    Iridescent Orchid replied to jessii427's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Everyone's path is different and works for them for a reason! If you see the way you want to go, even though other's are questioning it, don't start questioning it yourself. I am currently attending...

    Accepted to 2 year nursing school and pregnant

    Iridescent Orchid replied to junebugger's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You can do it with the understanding and support from friends and family members. I've seen plenty of nursing students go into the program with babies, toddlers, or teens. If you want nothing more...

    Opinion on supplemental books

    Iridescent Orchid replied to Kaligirl02's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    That sounds like a great list you have there! Before you purchase these, try to make sure you'll get your money's worth out of them. I have a problem with impulse buying supplemental items. I love the...

    In LVN/LPN school....

    Iridescent Orchid replied to Kaligirl02's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I'd brush up on systems and all the other generals throughout the book. My instructor told me that we needed to know the 12 cranial nerves (along with the entire chart) as well, that it would really...

    Am I really trip'n?

    Iridescent Orchid replied to Getting To Great's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would feel the same way you do as well, but a B is still a great grade to put towards your nursing program. A&P is tough and sometimes things happen that mess us up. Is there a way for you to...

    Did you do better 2nd time around on the TEAS?

    Iridescent Orchid replied to tammy_zeidan09's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    I have not sat for the TEAS, but I did for the PSB-PN exam and I did a lot better the second time around, it was definitely because my nerves calmed down and I knew what all to expect on there. The...

    Curious...

    Iridescent Orchid replied to scsrcsdg12's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hey there! I am just as you are. I struggle insanely with studying for A&P, for my instructor sits in a chair the entire time reading from a PowerPoint word-for-word (and doesn't even include...

    What field of nursing are you interested into going into?

    Iridescent Orchid replied to CNA1991's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm really into ER Nursing right now, but I also have a deep interest in Psych Nursing as well. I'm not sure what field I really want to go into yet, so I'm waiting on clinicals to give me a bigger...

    If you've received a scholarship, post your happiness here! I just found out I have won my very first scholarship...so shocked! I had to write an essay and whatnot, and really didn't think I had a...

    Learning and Retention

    Iridescent Orchid replied to mofomeat's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think that is the general result of A&P! I try my hardest to retain the information in my long-term, but majority of it just doesn't work out that way! Lecture is so crammed and most instructors...

    Aww, this is very sweet of you! Yeah, maybe somehow get an idea of what stethoscope she is looking at and get it for her. I'd suggest some cute nursing shoes for clinicals too. You could look at...

    Anyone waiting on Acceptance Letters?

    Iridescent Orchid replied to Kaligirl02's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    That could be! Maybe when she took a look at your file she seen you are highly likely to get in. My best advice to give you is to keep your hopes up and think confident, but don't get overly excited...

    Anyone waiting on Acceptance Letters?

    Iridescent Orchid replied to Kaligirl02's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I'll be crossing my fingers for you! Best of luck! This is something we all want so badly, that it's almost inevitable not to get our hopes up on it. I'm trying to stay at middle ground, just in case...

    New student..what should i do?

    Iridescent Orchid replied to cellphone's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    There's something to be said for taking certain things at a slower pace. I've thought about insane debt to get into a 1-year LPN to RN bridge program and it's just not worth it in the end! You'll come...

    Taking it slow... anyone else?

    Iridescent Orchid replied to EventuallyANurse's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am currently going for my LPN and when I do complete the program, I believe I'll be taking a bit of a hiatus to save up money for my BSN, rather than having to take out more loans than I absolutely...

    Iridescent Orchid posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    In some of the various Anatomy Discussions topics, some of us have posted stating we don't know how we'll feel until we take that first test! Most of us should have taken it by now this semester...so,...

    I might fail A&P 1, I'm really ashamed. What should I do?

    Iridescent Orchid replied to NenaRK's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I also do not get good studying done at home! I kept driving myself crazy trying to get it done, when there are just literally too many distractions! Now I go to the library for a lot of my study...
