  1. Good pop up, nclex pn today!

    lovedijah replied to vbarger28's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Congratulations!!! Took mine today and got the good pop up too. The test was completely random as you said. I had 85 questions as well, but wow you had a lot of SATA. Bless your heart. I really...

  2. Why won't people stop nagging me about being an LPN and not an RN?

    lovedijah replied to admiralqueenie's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    People say the same to me. It doesn't help that I have a bachelors and "You can just do an accelerated program and have a BSN in a year. You have no excuse". My reasons for choosing an LPN program- It...

  3. Passed Second Time!

    lovedijah replied to JaimeAliciaRN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Congratulations!

  4. What Is The Deal With All The Highly Educated & Professionals Becoming RNs?

    lovedijah replied to PMFB-RN's topic in General Nursing

    I have NEVER had a patient care why I wanted to be a nurse. They have however cared if it took too many sticks to start an IV. I have had tons of nurses be curious as to why I left social work. I sort...

  5. Having a baby summer before last semester??

    lovedijah replied to JLB1215's topic in General Students

    Here's my story. I graduate this summer. We started trying to have a baby at the point that I could graduate and still be pregnant. Having a baby while in nursing school? Would never be an option for...

  6. How many LPN's Don't Plan To Pursue the RN Title?

    lovedijah replied to CLUVRN's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    At the start of LPN school, I thought I was LPN and done. Now? Im going back to get my RN. My reasons are- my husband is military and I cant say for sure where we move will have a market for LPN's....

  7. Having a bachelors degree in something other than nursing...

    lovedijah replied to m20forshee's topic in General Students

    I have my BS in Sociology, so its given me an advantage in mental health nursing. That said, its not a replacement for a

  8. Getting over perfectionism

    lovedijah replied to crossfitnurse's topic in General Students

    With my BS in Sociology, I got all A's. With nursing? Im in my last semester, and finally got a B in a med surg (and maternity). And it was a 79.5 that got rounded up and a 80.7. So clearly, I barely...

  9. Annoyed! Where is the love?!

    lovedijah replied to angieedoll's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I've had people who don't have a degree in anything ask me why I didn't go to RN school. I'm like seriously, worry about your own life. To each his own. Good luck in

  10. Feeling really down in the dumps and friend-less in nursing school...advice needed

    lovedijah replied to willow298's topic in General Students

    I don't really believe that people stop talking to you just because your grades are good. I think it's more to the story than that. This is not calling you a bad person. I'm just saying there are two...

  11. ADN or BSN. Advice.

    lovedijah replied to jnette2011's topic in General Students

    If you can afford the BSN go for it. I have a bachelors degree, but couldn't afford to go to an accelarated program. There is only 1 ADN program where I live and it would have taken 3 semesters to...

  12. I got accepted in Lpn school.....now what do I expect?

    lovedijah replied to MindyydniM's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Congratulations!! For what it's worth, my biggest problems in fundamentals were.. Blood pressures- Definately start practicing now. Your teachers will probably teach you the way they want it to be...

  13. Trade Schools- Are they a waste of money? Is anyone happy with a trade school?

    lovedijah replied to B.Hall527's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I go to a technical college. The LPN program here is a little under 4000. I love it! I think it all depends on what school you go to. Our school is very well accepted in the community and most of all...

  14. wheeeewwwww! Med surg I exam #1 passed:)

    lovedijah replied to Mrsladysoul83's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    YAY for you. Congrats!! We start Med Surg on Monday. Pretty nervous. Fundamentals was a beast.. so I guess I'll see what Med Surg

  15. is the lpn program less hard/stressful than the ADN program?

    lovedijah replied to countrygirl1234's topic in LPN to RN

    I think it's all how you look at it. Is my LPN program hard? Yes. My average is a low B. At the same time, I don't think that means I couldn't pass a BSN or an ADN program. I would do what I'm doing...

  16. How many clinical hours is your LPN/LVN program?

    lovedijah replied to FLNurse2015's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    We have 412 clinical hours over a year. This is more than required by the board and more than some RN programs have in our area. 679 is impressive. I'm being nosy. But how many days do you have...

  17. Would Cheat in an Online Course?

    lovedijah replied to peachshan's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    We had a&p tests online and they weren't proctored. However, the teacher stressed that looking at notes was academic dishonesty. However there was no magical camera that recorded what you did. The...

  18. LPNs Often Fare Better Than Some Degree Earners

    lovedijah replied to TheCommuter's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I dont regret my 18,000 BS in Sociology. I was able, and still remain able to find employment- that I don't think I could find without a degree. Sure, I rarely ever see jobs that require degrees in...

  19. How many books for your program?

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

    We have about 12, for a one year program. Most of them are dictionaries, drug guides and things of that sort

  20. How do you feel about using an old edition of a book for nursing school?

    lovedijah replied to Kran1990's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Our teachers have told us NOT to get used editions. Then they came back with, "You can of course do whatever you want, but we teach from the new books". I guess the issue would be page numbers and...

  21. Why don't people take LPNs seriously?

    lovedijah replied to Hellostudentnurssee's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Maybe I just have a "bad attitude" (or super tough skin), but I tend to roll my eyes at the whole LPN aren't "real nurses" or whatever crap people say. Being a LPN will allow me to help people. In...

  22. Thinking of having a baby while in LPN school

    lovedijah replied to malloryg's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    You seem to have your mind made up. Go for it!!But I wouldn't do it. Just seems like a bunch of added discomfort and extra possibility for things to go wrong. We are going to wait until I finish...

  23. Pay Off My Student Loans In Full or Make Monthly Payments?

    lovedijah replied to whitecat5000's topic in General Nursing

    Pay them off, or atleast 75% off. I havent read the other comments, but it comes down to.. 1. You dont know what will happen in the future. You may lose your job? Then how will you pay the loans? You...

  24. Ok this may be a rant but....

    lovedijah replied to PNicholas's topic in General Students

    You are no less of a nurse, as an ADN- but I think it's important to acknowledge the BSN. I think thats the issue for people with BSN's. People are so quick to say "A nurse is a nurse" (true), but...

  25. Working full time and nursing school

    lovedijah replied to wannabeRNbrandy's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Maybe you could look at it as- how much money do you need to make? Can you take out student loans to meet some of your need? Can you cut back on expenses to lower you need? After you have that number...
