1. My first emergency

   mitzijane replied to Jazziepants's topic in LPN, LVN Students

   soon enough you'll be able to predict and know what's happening and what they're going to

2. Would you consider this cheating?

   mitzijane replied to MrsCuoco's topic in LPN, LVN Students

   it's a natural response to want to talk about what happened and tell people how it went. is it cheating? well, it can be. consciously or subconsciously, the other students are getting tipped off....

3. Is this normal

   mitzijane replied to Shh..i'mstudying's topic in LPN, LVN Students

   Get over it. Quick. Everyone makes mistakes, and you should make them while you're in school. Like I've said before, first module is like kindergarten, it's only going to get harder. If you expect to...

4. Had orientation today..questions about pharmacology

   mitzijane replied to cmm4ever's topic in LPN, LVN Students

   There is math involved however, not much. What's important about pharm is the drugs and knowing what they do and their side effects. There are sooo many drug questions on NCLEX because that's...

5. This IS nursing school!

   mitzijane replied to I♥Scrubs's topic in LPN, LVN Students

   I don't mean to burst anyone's bubble but the first module is a breeze. There's a point in nursing school where 4.0 students stop caring about their grades and just feel lucky they passed. If you can...

6. Anything you wish you would have known /done differently?

   mitzijane replied to cmm4ever's topic in LPN, LVN Students

   Yes! sooo much! That's a reason why I started my blog...because I wish I had someone give ME tips and stuff. I wish I knew how to study better for myself, things I really needed and didn't get or...

7. Need some advice on working vs. not working.

   mitzijane replied to Pharmboy518's topic in LPN, LVN Students

   A lot of my classmates work and have families. It is hard but they actually manage to do really well in class! Probably better than those without jobs OR children. I guess having children really...

8. So stressed..

   mitzijane replied to tperri24's topic in LPN, LVN Students

   wow. first week and already stressed on chapter 1 and 2? oh man...you have your work CUT OUT for you, girl lol wait until you get into med surge!

9. RN vs. LVN

   mitzijane replied to MarsupialL's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

   From what I've seen in hospitals, LVN's do the exact same work as RN"s except for running IV medication. So saying that LVN's only learn the "basics" is partially true but in the field, they do the...

10. Are you enjoying being a nursing student?

    mitzijane replied to scrubs_'s topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I never knew what I wanted to be...nursing kind of just fell in my lap (literally) and i started the month after. I'm almost done now and nursing school has been awesome! I'm so passionate about it...

11. Questions on best route to go

    mitzijane replied to ATLUCFKnight's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    There's no ladder than goes from MA to nursing. They are two very different things. To be honest, the way I hear people get into nursing school (community college) is your name basically gets picked...

12. Community College or University

    mitzijane replied to LaVanawayj's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Either way, we all take the same NCLEX exam. I honestly wouldn't bother going to a university to get LVN...really pointless since it's like the lowest branch of nursing. I don't think most...

13. No CNA Experience

    mitzijane replied to lyohnk's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    uh..you can get your CNA cert after 6 months of nursing school...but it's pretty pointless to start as a CNA after graduating. besides, didnt you do CNA work during clinicals?? that experience counts....

14. Finally ordered my stethoscope

    mitzijane replied to LadyLeo75's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    To be honest, I'd rather get a single head stethoscope. That's what the nurses on the floor use in meg surge. it's cheap (about $2 - $5) super light weight, and practical. It sucks having a large...

15. How do you study?

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

    I'm a writing and auditory learner so I just write notes on everything in lecture or if they're going by the book, I highlight/underline the important things and write on the margins as well as write...
