  1. Has anyone ever failed and had to readmit?

    Mewsin replied to tabz4u2's topic in General Students

    I know people who fail a class then reapply for the next program intake(its a 2 year wait here). In our program you only need to take the classes you did not pass. In our program if you miss a test,...

  2. Curious, Why did you decide to become an RPN/LPN?

    Mewsin replied to MizzMo's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Yes, its a diploma program. We've been told it is the old diploma RN program but with more information and condensed time frame, its a slightly insane

  3. Curious, Why did you decide to become an RPN/LPN?

    Mewsin replied to MizzMo's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I'm still a pn student but my choice was either 4 years away from home to do a BSN or 2 years in my same town for LPN, I chose

  4. So I passed my second semester, but I can't be a LPN

    Mewsin replied to truckinusa's topic in General Students

    I was thinking even after 3 semesters I can't be a LPN here. I'm in the PN program but its four semesters. I'll be an aide over the summer break but it pays well here($20) so I'm good with

  5. why do good students get beaten down in nursing school

    Mewsin replied to kvyates's topic in General Students

    I get good marks. I don't care if anyone knows, everyone has only said positive things to me about it. I work hard, I'm proud of myself but I also want my classmates to know that it can be done. I...

  6. How do you get job offers before graduating NS?

    Mewsin replied to StayHumble11's topic in General Students

    My first one is from the facility that I work in now as a CCA, my second one came from a nurse I used to work with who is now a manager at another facility. I don't graduate until Nov 2014 though,...

  7. Help

    Mewsin replied to futurebclpn's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    You can do this. I have questioned my own sanity for taking this program. We have those moments, and then you remember it will not last forever and others have gotten through it. You can do it....

  8. CNA night shift??

    Mewsin replied to Axm611291's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I'm a student right now but I am a cca, I work full time nights. Nights are good as long as you're self-motivated. I am busy for my entire 12 hour shift starting with putting people to bed, getting...

  9. Any home care PSWs around?

    Mewsin replied to caleo's topic in Canada

    Our CCAs that work in home care are paid the same as we're paid ($19.87 starting), they use their own vehicles but they are paid

  10. What is your Fall schedule?

  11. LPN students, were you able to continue taking BSN pre-requisites

    Mewsin replied to HeatherMax's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I barely have time to

  12. Any job offer yet? Graduation around the corner!

    Mewsin replied to PatMac10,RN's topic in General Students

    I'm not close to graduating, we just started our 2 years. I graduate November 2014 but I've had 2 job offers so far. One at the place I currently work at as a CCA and the other in a larger center...

  13. Whats wrong with working in a nursing home?

    Mewsin replied to jasminewilliams's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I don't think there is anything wrong with it, the only problem I would have with it is if that's the only job you can have as a LPN. Being a practical nursing student I'm looking forward to working...

  14. medical terminology

    Mewsin replied to malonejr's topic in General Students

    We don't have a lot of medical terminology in our exams, it is more knowing how to answer critical thinking questions. Perhaps a book about critical thinking would help more? I truly believe once...

  15. CNAs feel about students clinicals

    Mewsin replied to mvm2's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Keeping in mind that in our area you can be an aide before you get your CCA course, so often we orientate people with no working knowledge about our job and then when they do finish their course they...

  16. why is it..

    Mewsin replied to mvm2's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I love being a CCA but I look at some of the women I work with and I know how much tougher it is as one gets older. I see nurses at the same age and the job isn't as tasking physically, at least not...

  17. I know you should focus on yourself but..

    Mewsin replied to cassi_future_RN's topic in General Students

    I'm so glad you said that. I would be upset if my friends were failing out but the ones who really don't want to be there, the ones not putting in the work, the ones not even trying, those ones, I...

  18. cheating on NS

    Mewsin replied to AloeBlox's topic in General Students

    It's so frustrating. We just had a week off and our first day back we were supposed to have our lab prep assignment done, they are little mini quizzes we get marks on. Most of the class had it...

  19. How to deal with bad odors

    Mewsin replied to RedHeaded2bNurse16's topic in General Students

    If you're able to use PPE at the time (I'd assume so with a wound) put a tea bag in your mask. This also works really well for foul bm smells. We can use PPE at our own discretion so if I know I'm...

  20. Is there anyone out there that feels this way?

    Mewsin replied to adraorien's topic in General Students

    I get it. I study, I do, but I don't read a lot or reread or go crazy, I just flash card and study but I think a big part of it is understanding how to answer the questions. I study not to pass but...

  21. Hours of study

    Mewsin replied to futurebclpn's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    3-4 hours probably on average. I know I have days where I need more time and days I need a little less

  22. Nurse told me to give Medication

    Mewsin replied to Purple93's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I would give them but we can give meds as long as we don't pass meds. In my scope I can even pop the meds out of the bubble sheet and give them but not at my

  23. First Paycheck!

  24. in need of a pep talk...

    Mewsin replied to countrygirl0905's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I have no plan B I need to get through the next 18 months of PN school. No matter what is happening in my class I focus on what I need to do to get through. Just concentrate on your own self, get...

  25. New CNA- How to deal with body pain

    Mewsin replied to Purple93's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I will say that you will get conditioned. Make sure you stretch right before you start. We actually walk out of report and start to stretch before we start doing anything. Make sure you follow tlr,...
