Yes, I felt that way in nursing school. I did the only thing I could do, I studied & studied some more. Why don't you devote like two hours a day while on break to studing & answering NCLEX questions. In nursing there is always something to ...

LPN 1 year experience. $20.50 per hour first job. Now, I make $22.50 per hour weekdays. $26.00 per hour weekends at one job. And $24.50 per hour at another job.
In nursing you have to learn to brush off a lot of things. Sometimes patients don't like or say rude things to you. Sometimes families don't like you. Sometimes jobs just aren't the right fit. As long as no disciplinary action has been taken against ...
Everyday in nursing you pray for a good day. I pray that nobody codes, or has a heart attack, or stroke, or something like that. The only thing that gives me peace is my training. I know that if something did happen I've been trained to handle it. Th...
That is a whole lot to do for such a little mistake. If I was the DON I would have just said hello to you inside the room & then introduced you to the son, & kept it moving. People make the biggest tado about nothing.
So, I've been accepted into the nursing program at my community college. There is a 1 to 2 year waiting list. While waiting I'm taking my pre-req's. I also took a CNA class, so that I can get started in the health field, gain some experience with wor...
I took my NCLEX PN on April. 7th. In my state they do offer the quick results in 48 hours. Our licenses are posted a either the same day as the quick results or the next day on the BON. So, I took my test and decided not to do the PVT trick or purc...
When you have a patient and they look into your eyes and say that they are so grateful for the help that you have given them. Also, when I got the privilege to hold a patients hand as she died. It's the little things that gives this job so much meani...
Passing school does say something. It says that you tenacity and perseverance. You just need to use that same tenacity & perseverance to get you through the finish (NCLEX) line. I couldn't afford those expensive study tools either. What I did use...
When I started running out of time I did the points to remember and took the tests. I read every rational. Even the ones I got right. I also studied the information in the question if I got it wrong. I passed the NCLEX with 85 questions in 2 hours.
Try the review from the NCBSN. Their review is awesome. First they are the ones who writes the test. 2nd you get over 1,300 test question. 3rd they are not as expensive as some reviews I have seen. They also give you detailed rational explanations! G...
So, I just graduated nursing school & am waiting to take the NCLEX. For my job I had to have a phone interview, a nursing assessment (nclex type questions), and a skills test in order to become an LPN, which I passed. My school has almost a 99% ...
For every disease you need to know the pathophysiology, manifestations, and nursing interventions. Sometimes the disease seem to clump together which makes it a little harder to learn but if you have cues to help you remember things it becomes much...

This is at a community college. You have to take 5 pre-reqs but they count towards your RN should you choose to continue on. The classes are sociology, psychology, English 101, human anatomy & physiology and microbiology.

She said 2017 for the Lpn and then you'll have to get back on the waiting list for the RN program? That's a long time. I guess that's about right I waited 1 1/2 years for the LPN. I hope to be back in the RN program in Aug. 15 or Jan. 2016 with God's...

Are you at GRCC? I go there & graduate Nov. 21st. from the LPN program! Did you have any specific questions? At GRCC they mean business. They are not about them games. GRCC requires an 80% in order to pass a class with no rounding, higher than an...
