    DarkLotus replied to DarkLotus's topic in General Students

    The school with the LPN program has no work requirement for their LPN-RN bridge *if* you graduate from their LPN program. If you are from a different program you have to work for a year first. The...

    Thanks Indy! I like the way you asked questions about my question to get me thinking about what the question is really asking. After reviewing the s/s I realized that dark urine and jaundice are due...

  13. Nursing School Supplies?

    DarkLotus replied to robyn_a's topic in General Nursing

    You took patho last summer, awesome! In the past week I've found the class to be so fast paced and way too much information. Any advice on it is appreciated! It seems like there is just enough time...

  14. Nursing School Supplies?

    DarkLotus replied to robyn_a's topic in General Nursing

    No worries Irish Mama! Thank you for all the words of wisdom. I will ask about the budget increase form when I go to financial aid. Also I did not know there were additional scholarships to apply for...

  15. Nursing School Supplies?

    DarkLotus replied to robyn_a's topic in General Nursing

    Only another 13 you're lucky! They charged me another 65, maybe because I've lived in three different states in the past seven years. Anyways I was just told by financial aid that I can not get the...

  16. Does volunteering at a hospital help?

    DarkLotus replied to DarkLotus's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    I'm disappointed to say that I actually had to quit my job because daycare for two kids was too expensive and had to start a work at home job. I live in a state that does not have free daycare for low...

    DarkLotus replied to robyn_a's topic in General Nursing

    Well I have to take a section at 7:30 because the BSU daycare closes at 5:30. I'm not sure what I will do for the two days of the week there are clinicals for the half hour between when clinical...

    DarkLotus replied to robyn_a's topic in General Nursing

    Hi robyn, Turns out all the instructors are equally awesome, lol! I'm not sure if I want to take the 7am section though. I'm hoping the 10 am classes are still open when I go to register tomorrow. But...

    DarkLotus replied to DarkLotus's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Thanks, I just ordered the Incredibly Easy book and registered with Medscape. I sure hope they can help it 'sink in' so I can get as much as I can from this short summer course! I have information...

    DarkLotus replied to robyn_a's topic in General Nursing

    Splurge on shoes! When I was working as a CNA in WA that was one of the first things I did. Granted I was on my feet 8 hours a day 4 days a week instead of just one day at clinical. If you plan on...

  23. How important is a 4.0 once you are in nursing school?

    DarkLotus posted a topic in General Students

    So now that I am starting a BSN-RN program this fall, is it okay to understand the information instead of just memorizing it to get A's on tests? I'm taking pathophysiology over the summer and feel...

  24. How important is a 4.0 once you are in nursing school?

    DarkLotus replied to DarkLotus's topic in General Students

    I am only using that analogy for this particular course. The quiz does not have NCLEX style questions. They are multiple choice questions or fill in the blank questions with only one right answer...

  25. How important is a 4.0 once you are in nursing school?

    DarkLotus replied to DarkLotus's topic in General Students

    This is the way my patho class is too. The instructor states the answers are all in the pdf notes so you don't need to ask me questions that are other material in the text, etc. It's not a nursing...
