LESS? Most people I've spoken to about the difference say that it is harder, because ADN programs go much slower and have less clinical time, generally

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 is on you. Pharm can be difficult, but there are ...

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 remember more. YouTube is now my best friend, especiall...

My advice would be to not work at least until you are through Fundamentals. By that time, you'll have a greater grasp on your studying style and will know how much you can handle. Most states will allow you to sit for the CNA exam after Fundamentals,...

sooo true. Even brisk walking for 20 minutes helps relieve stress, increase blood flow to the brain, and release endorphins

That rocks!

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 impossible

I do understand what you are talking about. I'm about to start my second week, and I study an average of 6 hours a night. Personally, I think outlining is the best. Try to break the chapters down into chunks so that it is easier to digest. I try to p...

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. What interesting or unusual things did you learn t...

Thank you

While I do see here you are comming from, it really would behoove you to not let these other students get to you. Ths is your education. You are paying good money to educate yourself. If others in your class are wasting this opportunity, it is on the...

9 tests in 9 days? Wow. I started my program on the fourth. We have about 3 chapters to read each night and then we have lecture the next day about them. Each day is making me love nursing school more and more. Is hen everything starts clicking toget...

Question why the pt is on hypoglycemic medication even though their blood sugar level is trending high, for starters...secondly this thread should be moved to the assistance forum because this sounds an awful lot like your homework

I'm starting a 12 month LPN program next week. My plan is to sit for the NCLEX-PN and then go into the RN program at a local college that accepts all of my credits from the LPN program. Once I get my RN license, what happens to my LPN license? Can I ...

Same here! I woke up at 4:45 even though class doesn't start until 8. I'm can't wait

That is a great way to look at it

Hepatitis B or C? C is the one that doesn't go away. B is treatable. If it's B, get treatment and it won't be an issue.

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, having worked in the corporate world for 15 years...

I understand that much, but from an employers perspective would having a RN license keep me from getting hired for a LPN position?

Hi. I'm in eastern PA and should be graduating summer of 2013. Years ago I thought of going into nursing, but got discouraged by hearing all the horror stories of wait lists and steep competition, so I went into IT instead. Last year I almost died in...

Pharmacology or A&P, which class do you think is/was more difficult?I have both at the same time in my first semester coming up, and I'm trying to get a sense for their levels of difficulty.

I live in the Philly burbs, so that is really good news to me. I'll be graduating from an LPN program next summer. Thanks

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 program. How many books will you have?

I'm pretty sure that it is going to be on the packet they gave us.

Any other students/alumni here from ECAT in Willow Grove, PA?I'm starting the full time program on Sept. 4th
