  1. Not sure if I want to stay in the nursing field...in desperate need of advice.

    LPN709 replied to LPN709's topic in Nursing Career

    Yes slinkyheadcna you are right...I haven't practiced as a nurse since getting my license. That's why I'm having such a hard time deciding what to do. But the one thing that I'm sure of is the fact my...

  2. Afraid of failing out of school

    LPN709 replied to ronron70's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I found studying with someone else helped a lot...my best friend in class and I would bounce info off of each other. Then during the tests I would hear her voice in my head saying the answer :) sounds...

  3. Has anybody got into CRNA school with a GPA under 3.00?

    LPN709 replied to phetheR's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I looked around in my area( in Tennessee), and a 3.0 gpa is a requirement to even apply to every school I've looked at. So I would say no to your question

  4. Transferring programs from RN to LPN?

    LPN709 replied to HoneySyn's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Yes, loriangel is right. You can't be a nurse without science. I went through exactly what you posted about. I was signed up to start school for my RN, but I had to drop because of financial issues....

  5. Work and school...is it possible?

    LPN709 replied to stephanie10414's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I wouldn't try working and risk it...at least at first. Assuming your program is similar to how mine was, there comes a point when you do nothing but clinicals and get ready for the nclex. You may be...

  6. Worried about paying off student loan debt

    LPN709 replied to metallicaman1031's topic in General Students

    Wow $100,000 for a 4 year degree?! Do they buy gold toilet paper or

  7. LPN A&P compared to RN A&P?

    LPN709 replied to LPN709's topic in LPN to RN

    I don't mind working harder, as I stated I love a&p and science in general, I just wanted to prepare myself for the class. Thanks for all of your

  8. Stethoscope...what are you using?

    LPN709 replied to nolansmom's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I got a littman cardiology III in school :) I like it because it's light and compact and it sounds good. I also have a personalized ultrascope, which is so pretty :) it's zebra print and pink. But I...

  9. LPN A&P compared to RN A&P?

    LPN709 replied to LPN709's topic in LPN to RN

    I read this again and I realized how vague it sounded lol to clarify my question: did attending lpn school first help a lot in in your college a&p class? Or not at all? Curious to

  10. Ati comprehensive predictor test

    LPN709 replied to YesImVictorious's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I got a 96% as well...personally I thought the ati test was much harder than the nclex! But that's just

    LPN709 replied to lsigler's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    It's been a couple of years since I took it...but I do remember it's basic math. Now that I've been in college, I look back and realize it wasn't as hard as I thought..basic fractions and that sort of...

    LPN709 replied to lsigler's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Hey there were plenty of people in my class with a degree already. There's nothing like the medical field! It's not back tracking at all. Just do whatever makes you happy

  13. TTC Covington 2014

    LPN709 replied to lsigler's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Yeah, I know! But luckily I have no children to take care of and a husband who has supported me financially through school. And actually I'm only taking my pre reqs right now. Sorry I didn't mean to...

  14. TTC Covington 2014

    LPN709 replied to lsigler's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    There were quite a few nursing homes around where I live for full time jobs. So I don't think getting a job will be a problem UNLESS your in my situation. I'm currently back at school for my RN and...

  15. TTC Covington 2014

    LPN709 replied to lsigler's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I had like a 93 in English and I barely passed the math...I had to take the math portion twice in fact. I suck really bad at it lol I only made like 5 points above the passing score. But I still got...

    LPN709 replied to lsigler's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I attended the program in newbern and just graduated this year...I know it's not covington but I've heard that the ttc programs are generally the same. If I can help, please let me know

    LPN709 replied to Midwest Mark's topic in General Students

    Hot dogs? Wow that's crazy! Lol when we practiced tb injections in LPN school we just practiced on each other! With normal saline of course

  18. Nursing School Makes me Feel Dumb - Anyone been there before?

    LPN709 replied to Avill's topic in General Students

    Like the previous posters said...they are there to push you. Be thankful if your instructor is hard on you and doesn't baby you. It teaches you to think for yourself and develop your critical thinking...

  19. How do you deal with classmates disrespecting you?

    LPN709 replied to quirkystudent's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Oh my gosh. This was my exact situation in school. I just graduated in April and let me just say....the absolute worst year of my life. And it wasn't because of the school itself. It was the people. I...

  20. Kicked out of class for a "HIPAA" violation?

    LPN709 replied to Trip_McNeelyRN2b's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    I understand what your saying op...I think you should definitely talk to your instructor about this. You seem confused. An I'm slightly confused too...but I think the main thing here is this insulin....

    LPN709 replied to melmacrn's topic in Emergency

    Hey, were all human. And we'll all make mistakes. I'm sure everyone in your ER has done some silly things and I'm sure they all understand the pressures of a new job. And, as was stated, no one will...

  22. I GOT IN!!!!! NOW WHAT?

    LPN709 replied to mrsnurse2014's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I graduated LPN school this past April and the best advice I can give you is to be prepared to study hard. And I do mean hard. Nursing school will be one of the hardest (if not the hardest) thing you...

    LPN709 posted a topic in LPN to RN

    I'm not sure if this is in the right place lol but I'm currently working on my pre reqs for a LPN-RN program at a community college. I'm thinking about taking A&P 2 next summer and I was wondering...
