  1. LPN Living

    I just started my first LVN job in DFW. I am working at an urgent care clinic making $17.50/hr plus shift differential. I am a single female with no dependents and I am living comfortably. I'm not rolling in money, but I just purchased two round trip...
  2. Overwhelmed New Nurse

    I'm an LVN who graduated December 2013. I passed the NCLEX my first try in March of 2013 and it took me nearly a year to find a job. I was hired at an urgent care clinic at the end of last month and am in my third week of training. I've only had two ...

  4. Drug cards

    We started drug cards today and I'm wondering if anyone has any tips on how to write them without overloading them with information.
  5. 2nd week and cliques already?

    I'm seeing a lot of responses saying to just keep to yourself, but my first day of nursing school the instructors told us that we needed to get to know each other other. One of them said that we wouldn't all get along and there might be some of us wh...
  6. New LPN student and I don't know how to feel!!

    I couldn't agree more with loveblossom! I cleaned my whole apartment and got all of my stuff organized, did all of my laundry, went grocery shopping, got any appts out of the way, and spent my last free week going out with friends. READ READ READ!!!!...
  7. Scrubs cost WHAT???

    That is kind of crazy. Especially the apron part. ??? I got four tops, four bottoms, a lab coat and patches for $125. I ordered all of mine (minus the patches) online.
  8. only lvn,lpn classes.

    I know many people are saying there aren't online classes and for the most part, that's true. I believe they rarely exist. However, the community college I'm at offers a part online program. You take the classes online but you have certain clinical d...
  9. 2nd week and cliques already?

    I'm only four days into my program and cliques formed the second day. Regardless of your opinion of your classmates, there are several different personalities in there and I'm sure there are others who are similar to yourself. I wouldn't isolate your...
  10. Nursing School Tomorrow!

    Lol I psyched myself out the past few weeks only to realize it's not so bad after all (for now at least). Flash cards have become my best friend! Lets cross our fingers and hope we survive :)
  11. Nursing School Tomorrow!

    Don't get discouraged, girl! Just keep reminding yourself why you decided to pursue nursing. When you are feeling excited and confident, write yourself a letter telling yourself how you felt the day you opened your acceptance letter (which you should...
  12. Starting lpn school

    I feel your pain. I start January 14 as well and I've already had nightmares about the first day. I wouldn't worry so much about A&P. It is important to know, but I've taken it twice and found that I actually did understand it, but it intimidated...
  13. How can I prepare??

    Hi! I just got my acceptance letter this week into NCTC's 2013 LVN program (I am so very excited!). I would love any advice from current students. I know there is only so much I can do, but I want to get a head start. Are there any books I might be a...
  14. How can I prepare??

    I had my high school nurse email me my shot records but they had originally told me mine were lost so I got ALL of my immunizations again and they called ten minutes after I left the clinic and said they found them. It shouldn't take more than two we...
  15. How can I prepare??

    That's awesome!! I can't wait to meet you and everyone else! I did my drug test yesterday as well. I just got my transcript for my A&P class and I'm working on my High School transcript and physical. We have to have 3 letters of recommendation ri...

  17. How can I prepare??

    Orientation is November 8! That's when we will find out all the books we'll need and I'll probably buy them ASAP! I've already planned out a few roadtrips with friends and such and took a lot of time off of work for it. I told my manager I wanted to ...
  18. Nursing school excitement...

    I got my acceptance letter last Wednesday. My mom had texted me that my letter had arrived and I immediately left my apartment to head over. The whole way there I had a million thoughts racing through my mind, such as: what if I didn't get in? I didn...

    Congratulations to you!! I'll be at the Gainesville campus. They are the only ones that offer the spring enrollment. Did you get accepted for in-class or online??

  21. NCTC Spring 2013 LVN program

    I just got accepted into the 2013 In Class program (YAY!! ) and I'm trying to follow through with my background check but it won't process my payment. I called customer service and they are still trying to figure out why. All of my information enter...
