I am a newly Licensed LPN Graduate looking to get my first job. I live in the Orange City, Deland, Debary Florida area and I am willing to drive as far as Daytona Beach or Sanford, Fl for work. Does anyone know of specific facilities or physicians o...

So, I took my NCLEX PNexam for the first time yesterday. Computer stopped at 85 questions, after a grueling brain workout. I felt like the first question right out of the gate was a high level question, and once I answered it correctly that is all I ...

In less than 24 hours after testing, I see my exam status as "PASS" on the Florida Board Of Nursing website! What a relief. The pearsonvue trick worked for me!

Anyone know what the procedure is for Florida?

Good Luck!!!!!

Good luck!

Congratulations!!

So, I've almost finished my second semester in the LPN program, with only 12 weeks left before graduation. I had no idea what I was doing going into this thing... I had my ideas and what they tell you at orientation to go on, but wow, it wasnt what I...

Congratulations!!!!

I cant believe how fast the time has gone by. Im sure it has something to do with how busy school keeps us. Isnt there a saying "time flies when youre having fun"!

Do you mean you need Nursing Diagnosis' for your care plans? Id probably start with your patient's gas exchange, cardiac output, their fluid volume, pain, and activity intollerance , by using my Nurses pocket guide. I would look them up and see how ...

pookyp: I am glad to help. I hope it works. It sounds like you are really committed to your daughter and school. You will make a very caring nurse.

It is a lot of work, but it's like you said, futurenursenesha , "you get out of it what you you put into it". Our program is a 12 month long program too, and there is a lot to learn in such a short time. But...it CAN BE DONE! And although there were ...

I studied about 6 weeks, and I used the TEAS V study guide so I knew exactly what I needed to study. I had to refresh in the math area as I am older than most students and it had been a while. I must say it helped me a lot.

WOW! 92% is GREAT! I know at my school they focused mainly on GPA and a passing score on the TEAS V test. If they look at that TEAS score alone I'd say you stand a pretty good chance of being accepted. I'd bet your GPA is as impressive as your TEAS ...

Pookyp It sounds like you're going through a rough time right now. Are you in your first semester? First semester was the hardest for me. Unfortunately, when kids are little they dont understand that mommy is busy. I'd like to make a suggestion if...

How exciting for you!!! Congrats! How many SATA questions did you have?

Yeah! Congratulations to you both!!

I am new here and I am looking to share experiences with other Daytona State College LPN applicants who have applied this May of 2012. Does anyone know how long it will take before we hear if we are in or out of the DSC program? I have applied for t...

I have started to look around to get an idea as to the types, and costs of supplies, as I anxiously await the "letter of acceptance or denial". Anything to make the process of waiting a little easier. There are so many different types of stethoscopes...

Our school requires titers no matter what, and it must be filled out and stamped by a physician. So...instead of going twice for all this stuff, I called my family Physician's office and told them my school requirements for immunizations and a physi...

I am in that same boat. So many thoughts and feelings rush over me at times. I have moments of excitement, as well as feeling anxious and scared. I havent been in school for a long time so there is a lot to think about. On the lighter side, I have b...

I got a hardly used Littman Clasic II S.E. off Craigslist for $40.... Brought it home, and fully cleaned it with alcohol....works great. Now if only I knew what I listening for....LOL!

Mine will be Cherokee Workwear in Galaxy Blue here, unless they've changed it since last year. I will know for sure August 3rd at orientation.

Went to the mailbox and there it was....a beautiful white envelope. I opened it to read the most wonderful words.... So much to do, and all in a month. NOW, the REAL work begins! Good luck to all who are still waiting their letters. Hope you hear go...
