    amelia_sn replied to Emily Cox's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I've got a 65 mile drive one way- about 90 minutes on bad day, just over an hour on a good day- it'll be worth it in the

  5. cheaper alternative to greys anatomy tops

    amelia_sn replied to rnbecca's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Jockey scrubs are amazing! I am super petite (and 5 feet tall) and I purchase jockey scrub tops in xxs and pants in xs petite- they fit BETTER than grey's and are just as soft and wrinkle free. The...

  6. Need Advice!

    amelia_sn replied to amelia_sn's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I tried that route first, but the only community college near me has a waiting list out to a year and the RN program there has a waiting list just for the pre-reqs. My financial aide covers just about...

  8. Grey's Anatomy Scrubs - Sizing Help?

    amelia_sn replied to BrooklynRN11201's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    The four stretch from wonder wink is amazing! In my opinion, the wonder wink origins 'golf' top is very similar to the greys anatomy shirt in the same style. I am very petite with a b size bust and...

  9. Embarrassed to even post this.

    amelia_sn replied to NoWomanNoCry's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Do not be embarrassed! It takes serious courage to admit you've got difficulty with learning a certain subject! I do not think that your lack of mathematical ability should turn you away from such an...

    amelia_sn replied to Lisamarie100's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Congrats on getting an interview! I had mine today and I was crazy nervous- but it was nowhere near as bad as I thought it would be. To me, it was basic interview questions with a twist: Biggest...

  13. Clinical uniforms?

    amelia_sn replied to kjrobinetteSN's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    The school that I'm hoping to attend (my interview is tomorrow!!!) requires navy blue scrubs everyday for lecture and cecil blue tops with white pants for clinicals- better than all white I

    amelia_sn replied to amelia_sn's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  17. Vent about scrubs

    amelia_sn replied to NellieRN10's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    For ladies like myself, Grey's are a life saver. I'm just barely (when my hair is big) 5 foot even and I fluctuate between 100-110lbs. I've been tiny my whole life! Other than Wonder Wink scrub top...

  21. Starting LPN What should I do to get ahead before I start

    amelia_sn replied to alvarado88's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Congrats on starting LPN school! Those 24 days will fly by! I would brush up on your medical terminology, a&p and maybe even the math for dosage calculations if you'll be doing pharmacology...

  22. Advice on going to school for my lpn or rn!!

    amelia_sn replied to dannygurl84's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Definitely go with what you can afford. Putting unnecessary financial stress on yourself isn't going to help you at all. Once you've finished LPN you can work while you bridge over, giving you the...

  23. Nurses, I have a few questions!

    amelia_sn replied to hayleyyelyah's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    LPN or NP? I can help a bit with the LPN, as I am currently an lpn student :) The salaries for LPN's vary by state- but where I live its around $37,000-$47,000. You won't really find LPN's working in...
