So I have a decent job working for a facility that cares for peoples with mental disablities. I love my residents but the job is not exciting in the least. I have an interview with a hospital in the ER but they use LVN's in a tech capacity which mean...

Will do I already have a few things lined up, I don't want to jinx them but I'll keep everyone posted

I took my NCLEX PN today and all indications are that I've passed!! I tried the pearsonvue re register trick and got the good pop up, now all that's left is for me to get my license number! So all you students just remember if I can do it so can you,...

To be honest, I mostly did nclex questions using Sanders 4th edition cd. I would focus on the content that I was going over in my current class and I would make sure to read the rationales one every question right or wrong so I could make sure I knew...

Mainergal2000 I don't know how your school is set up but for me the toughest classes where peds and ob since they were just soo short ( about 4 weeks each) best advise I can give is to make sure you read ahead of time and don't fall behind.

Started with 51 currently at 11 of the original 51 with 12 weeks till graduation

My girlfriend and I got pregnant while we where in med sur 1 (our fourth class) we are currently finishing up med surg 2(our sixth class) and everything for the most part is ok! She's about 18 weeks now and the only real complaints she has is not get...

I'm about a quarter of the way through my second term and I think overall the school is easier than I expected. Being an EMT first, the hardest thing I have had to do was retrain my brain I think about things. My best advise would be study hard but t...

Providing that I pass my LVN program ( was confident until Pharm!) I was planning on going on to getting my RN asap. Lately I have been thinking about maybe getting my prereqs for medical school out of the way and just working as an lvn until I becom...

1: what date you start/ school name 10/29/12 Dallas Nursing Institute 2: how long is your program 51 weeks 3: why are you becoming an lpn.. I'm currently and EMT and I love the medical field, but I'm tired of riding on a rig and only being able to ...

I'm in my second term and I can totally understand where you are coming from. The best advise I can give is when in doubt ask your instructor. While they may seem uninterested at times, really there are there to make sure you are doing everything you...

Good luck, you sound like you have a good head on your shoulders, you can do this. Just make sure to stay ahead of your reading, lectures tend to give a lot of information and if you forgot to preread you may find yourself feeling a bit overwhelmed.

Thanks for the input guys, this is all very valuable information :)

So I'm wrapping up my first term, and my clinicals are going to be starting soon. Anyone have any advise, stories, words of comfort? I'd love to hear from other students, their experiences during their first clinicals.

I'd recommend you invest in an NCLEX-PN book, especially one with a cd. NCLEX questions are hard and the more exposure you get to them the better off you'll be. As far as a stethoscope, while in school I use the same $30 stethoscope that I use in the...

I'm currently going to a trade school and I'm loving every minute of it. My teachers are knowledgeable and do their very best to make sure every student is getting the help they need to succeed. A lot of the negative reviews that you will read out th...

About to finish my first term and it was a & p and Fundamentals the second term will be pharm and ms1 3rd term is peds and ms2 final term is ob and ms3, our clinicals are mixed to the terms starting at the end of fundamentals. Hope this helps

Hello and welcome! I'm just finishing up my first term! Good luck and study hard!

Just started school today, our grading scale is the same as this one.

Being an EMT myself and about to start LVN school I can say their behavior is not typical. While at least from my personal experience EMT's tend to regard themselves higher up the food chain so to say than CNA's it's me or my crew would have never ma...
