  2. LPN classes - venting and etc...

    SushiJoe replied to Nurse Rodriguez's topic in New Jersey Nursing

    Wow, this is a tough one. I would advise against switching schools. Instead, focus on finding ways to make studying easier on yourself. No matter where you go to school, the own ness of your education...

  3. Why am i not motivated this weekend

    SushiJoe replied to nicoleg4646's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I am positive that your scores will go up once you find your groove. Find a way to make studying fun and interesting to you. For me, I found that silly nursing songs make my brain come alive and...

  4. Need some advice on working vs. not working.

    SushiJoe replied to Pharmboy518's topic in LPN, LVN Students

  7. So stressed..

    SushiJoe replied to tperri24's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    what in the world is a 12 month BSN program? That sounds like a nightmare. Please tell me that you already have your ADN-RN, otherwise 4 years of nursing school in 12 months sounds humanly

    SushiJoe replied to tperri24's topic in LPN, LVN Students

  9. What interesting things did you learn this week in nursing school?

    SushiJoe posted a topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I thought it would be fun to do this each week as sort of a reflective mental break. I just finished my first week. There was a ton of information to go over, but a couple of things stood out for me....

  14. Dual Licenses? LPN and RN?

    SushiJoe posted a topic in General Students

  18. Need some advice!

    SushiJoe replied to proudauntie415's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    My advice would be to take the prn job until November instead. Seeing as it is prn, you would be less likely to burn bridges and complicate things like you would if you took the other job. Personally,...

  19. Dual Licenses? LPN and RN?

    SushiJoe replied to SushiJoe's topic in General Students

    SushiJoe posted a topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Luckily our school provides us the books as part of our tuition. I haven't picked them up yet, but reading through the syllibi, it looks like we have 18 books and a medical dictionary for our LPN...
