I recently(this week) was told by my doctor that I needed to take a two week medical leave of absence, because my blood pressure is critically high. Just two weeks ago a student in my class took a medical leave of absence to have a baby. She got to r...

Thank you

Yes I understand that my B/P is high, but what I guess I failed to say is that my class is set to graduate in Dec2012, and the school isnt willing let me take my two weeks off, even though just two weeks ago, another student took off two weeks. They ...

I started at 36 years old. Im not going to lie. IT IS HARD but it can be done. If you really want it bad enough, you will do what it takes.

I started off in an RN program and then changed to LPN. I wish I hadnt. Theblpn is hard and fast paced. good luck to all of you.

I dont know if this will help, but why did she have a svheduled csection. It seems that something must have been going on in her body to lead to her having it done.

Umm, if you want honesty, its the money issue and they treat you as if you are in kindergarten. I don't feel you get what you are paying for, but that is my opinion.

I am in the same boat as you, I am in clinicals now, but I worry that once I am in the real world I might not know enough.

I go to a private school as wellAll my books and scrubs included.$ 29000.

I am 38 y/o. I will be graduating in Dec. 2012. Keep up the good work. You are still very young and its never to late to follow your dreams.

Finding the time to study and spend time with the kiddos. This is a hard course your life will change drasticlly. Good luck and best wishes to you. :):)

I passed with a 927. Most of the questions I missed were ones that I knew the answer to but was so nervous and read them wrong. You will do great.:)

Congrates, I am in the same boat as you. Did you have to take a hesi test? I did and had to npass it with an 850. I passed it with a 927.

I am attending Platt college now. If you can hold out for the waiting list or maybe try another votech in your area I would do that. If not go for it, its hard and a lot of people get dropped.But good luck.

I have to write a paper(case study) on what advise a health care provider would tell parents of a child going to public school for the first time. What advise to help the child be successful. Where can I find this kind of information? Thanks, Hea...

I go to school 8 hours a day, so I get tired, but with that being said, I still love it. There are a few class mates I could do without. I start clinicals in Jan. and I cant wait to take all this information that I have learned and see how it is put ...

I am a full time student. I go to school from 8 am to 4 pm. I have a nine year old step son that lives with my husband and me. Finacial aid is helping with my cost of school but I am also making monthly payment to the college that I attend. My husban...

Vitals are not as hard as you think they would be. listen to your instructor and she/he will allow you to practice as much as needed. However A&P has been my hardest class so far, but I hear that med surge is very difficult. Good luck and keep yo...

Keep your head up! Some of my class mates and myself will have a review the day of the test. we will either get to school early to do this or eat lunch together. It has helped me. Dont get to discouraged. Good Luck to you!

I have had four test so far 91, 72(not passing) 84 and the last is still unknown until Monday. I have 2 more test on Monday aswell. Now that I know how the test are laid out, I will know what to study and maybe I will retain it better. Good luck t...

I agree with you! I had a really hard time in A&P. But thats just me!

If you find any, please let me know too! I have not been able to find any myself. Good luck to you!

I finished all my general ed classes and pre req. then was put on a waiting list, I was told I would probably be on for 3 years. I decided for me at my age 37 that I would go the LPN route(and I am loving the classes) and then bridge into the RN prog...
