  1. I'm curious...did you have to pay for uniform?

    Kikikins replied to shudva's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Days like this I wish I still had my place in

  2. What to study next?

    Kikikins replied to I ❤️ Nursing's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I just kept on reading. I am trying to finish two of my texts before school start it two weeks. I may not get there but it's my goal. I figure the more I get done now the more manageable reviewing...

  3. The Last Minute Shuffle!

    Kikikins replied to HeiseC's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Hang in there HeiseC! I'm in a similar position, self-paying for the entire program ($12K and counting), plus getting the DF to school (today was his first day). I tried to schedule his courses to...

  4. How Many students have dropped out of your LVN program?

    Kikikins replied to Iiamlilly's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I had no idea the attrition rate was so

  5. I need a little bit of advice!

    Kikikins replied to Kdrenee's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    We just all need to stick together and help each other along... even if it's only to sing loud enough to drown out the naysayers! You know there's a lot of NY BOCES people on the AN-LPN forums maybe...

    Kikikins replied to DelleBrock's topic in New York Nursing

    Not yet OU BOCES orientation is Sept. 5. I still have a few things to sort out (immunizations disappeared in the last move) but so far so poor! We should network and see if our programs are similar...

  8. A moment to wallow in self pity.

    Kikikins replied to RainbowDash's topic in General Students

    Well I will never complain about my scrubs! I got 2 ICU tops, 3 ICU bottoms all in indigo plus another ICU top in the required white for Clinicals -- all for about $107. I am missing the lab coat but...

  9. One set of scrubs?

    Kikikins replied to MilliePieRN's topic in General Students

    I went ahead and purchased multiple sets because we are required to wear them daily. I made it through a Massage Therapy program with only one set of scrubs since we only had to wear them twice a...

  10. I need a little bit of advice!

    Kikikins replied to Kdrenee's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    LOL! If only! I still have to do the work like everybody else. I just keep reading about so many PN students getting demoralized by people dismissing LPNs. For some it's a stepping stone, for others...

  11. Books!! Do you think it is necessary to study before Sept. Start??

    Kikikins replied to missy0910's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I looked up and priced all of my books out but didn't buy them right away. I looked for free trials/previews of e-textbooks first and managed to get all of my summer assignments completed without...

  12. Finally ordered my stethoscope

    Kikikins replied to LadyLeo75's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I'm using an old Littman II I've had for years -- the tubing matches my navy blue school scrubs. Ha! I'll have to do something about personalizing it though, that's everyone I would have never thought...

  15. Pharmacology or A&P, which class do you think is/was more difficult?

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

    Pharmacology because it is what I know the least of. I've been tearing through the Micromedex

  16. If you say you aren't, then you WON'T be!

    Kikikins replied to MrsCuoco's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I always said math was not my strong suit. I had the opportunity to tutor my 14yo nephew this summer on core arithmetic skills and algebra. Surprisingly it was much easier than I remembered it from my...

  17. Mature LVN students; over 45

    Kikikins replied to Ocyn's topic in LPN, LVN Students

  20. head to toe

    Kikikins replied to cmhellokitty's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Practice, practice, practice. When I was going through EMT training (like WahineMakai) I even practiced patient assessments on my dog! I made little mnemonics so I could sing the processes to myself...

  21. I need a little bit of advice!

    Kikikins replied to Kdrenee's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Like you, I had family members (RNs and other professionals) telling me not to waste my time going the PN route because I am 'smart enough' to do a straight BSN. Even the program director told me I...

  22. Nursing class of 2013

    Kikikins replied to shalone80's topic in LPN, LVN Students
