  1. Class of 2013 LPN Students from Michigan?

    LilacHeart replied to LeeLeeTheGPN's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I'm starting September 4th at Everest, Southfield. When I was in (a different) school for medical assisting I had a semester of pharmacology and, yes, it was pretty brutal. At first. At some point...

    LilacHeart replied to buttercup_rn's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I'm just starting school (LPN, plans to continue to RN later), but am a CMA. When I was in school for medical assisting (community college), it was emphatically stressed to never, ever administer any...

    LilacHeart replied to denisesking's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I start September 4th and am also a "mature" student. Have butterflies in my stomach of both excitement and nervousness. I flip back and forth from being scared silly to being giddy with excitement....

  9. Backpack on wheels..Is this really necessary?

    LilacHeart replied to luixbeauty's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I'm starting my LPN courses in the fall and I'm not certain if I'll use a regular backpack or one with wheels. When I did my MA studies I definitely needed the wheels! It was a VERY long walk from...
