    Compassion_x replied to douxmusique's topic in General Students

  4. Schoolcraft Nursing Students (previous students help appreciated!!)

    Compassion_x replied to heartoftexas2's topic in General Students

    Look up how to answer NCLEX questions. It will help you throughout your nursing education. Do it and you will not regret

  5. Would you go the traditional BSN route after LPN.

    Compassion_x replied to na-na's topic in LPN to RN

    I'm doing LPN-RN and then RN-BSN. Reason being, it's much cheaper to get my LPN and ADN from my CC than it is to get my LPN and then go to through the LPN-BSN bridge here. Plus LPN-BSN is two more...

  6. Need Advice!

    Compassion_x replied to amelia_sn's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    That is VERY expensive for an LPN. I am currently 17k in debt with student loans, including 2 years of gen eds, the two semesters of LPN, plus my first semester of ADN. What about any BSN programs in...

  7. Most difficult thing about nursing school?

    Compassion_x replied to allieveronica's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Finding enough time to do everything. Homework/studying, going to class, clinical, work. No time for anything else. Doesn't help that the material gets harder the further you go. Oh, and the tests...

  8. Nclex prep-only read the correct answer?

    Compassion_x replied to lifewithkids's topic in General Students

    I think it's just as important to know why other answers are wrong. That way, if something similar pops up you can recognize

  9. Toileting Residents

    Compassion_x replied to penny186's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I can relate to this. As a previous 2nd shift CNA, I'm sure they're aware of exactly who does and who doesn't toilet their residents, and can understand that you wouldn't be able to toilet everyone on...

  10. Who do you tell?

    Compassion_x replied to smoup's topic in General Students

    If you have a department head/coordinator/dean/whatever, you could start

  11. Orthostatic BP?

    Compassion_x replied to parkj9's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

  12. Best day ever

    Compassion_x replied to missmollie's topic in General Students

    Yay! I had a great day yesterday, after (attempting) my first IV site! I felt high on life for hours after! I understand the feeling.

  13. Can I succeed as a Nursing Student with Obsessive Thoughts

    Compassion_x replied to Athariel's topic in General Students

    I have OCD. My obsessions are mostly unrelated to school period, so I don't have much interaction there. However when I'm really stressed they increase (and compulsions of course). I see a therapist...

  14. Acne from being at the hospital???

    Compassion_x replied to loveoutloud's topic in General Students

  15. 3M Littmann Cardiology III Stethoscope

    Compassion_x replied to 2bRNatasha85's topic in General Students

    Lightweight II SE sucks IMO. Those are the kind my school gave us, and I bought a Littmann classic II which I love. I haven't tried cardiology

    Compassion_x replied to owly234's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I wouldn't think it'd DQ you. Only way to know for sure is to ask,

  18. hours per day

    Compassion_x replied to schoolforever's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Too much at once is a no go. Study as much as you want but make sure to take breaks and take care of yourself as well or you won't even retain your information. Frequent breaks, don't skip meals and...

  19. Are Prerequisites Flexible?

    Compassion_x replied to Casha9's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If they are flexible they will say how flexible. If they say you need chem101 usually you need chem101. However, with some schools they will allow you to start the program as long as you coreq. some...

  20. Have you ever had an AP class where everyone is failing?

    Compassion_x replied to diana10's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It's hard stuff to learn in a short amount of time. It's understandable that many would

  21. How much more study time than LPN program?

    Compassion_x replied to Stoogesfan's topic in LPN to RN

    It will probably vary. Yes, you have foundation but in my LPN-RN program we go over everything we learned at a deeper level, so there is still studying, some of it's review but a lot isn't. So far (in...

  22. LPN TO RN BRIDGE

    Compassion_x replied to fairyluv's topic in LPN to RN

  24. In Nursing school, do we review A&P?

    Compassion_x replied to zeno33's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    In your program, the instructors may or may not review A&P with you, but it is still your responsibility to know it. Especially when it comes to pathophysiology or

  25. Whiners in the classroom?!?!?!

    Compassion_x replied to rj2011's topic in General Students

    There are people like that everywhere in any major. As you go along those people are typically weeded out of the program. Just tune them out in the
