  1. I use my powerpoint handout from lecture. I write down all the material form lecture that I can. Most of my teachers post their notes, so I go through and copy those. After that I read the chapter and take a substantial amount of notes out of the boo...
  2. Malpractice insurance?

    I dont care if a hospital covers me or not. I will always carry my own malpractice insurance. I use NSO.

    All the teachers in Muncie are super awesome! That is the one reason Im sad I wont be in the Muncie campus this time around. Plus my friend I had from LPN school is at that campus this time too so Im at it alone once again. Muncie really is great. W...

  5. New LPN/RN Pay Rate

    I did clinical at Westminster Village an really liked it there!! If I lived closer to Muncie that would be my first option to work. Its a nice clean facility for a LTC.

    Also when I was in the LPN program we only took one pharm class but it was a 3 credit class so that counted and I got to skip the advanced pharm this summer in the transition, thank goodness. I HATE pharm with a passion!

    Oh see I have to take mental health. So when you do go your summer will be like a one credit class! Sucks for me!
  8. Ivy Tech--INDIANA

    Well I just had my orientation today. Even though Im only taking 4 credit hours this summer it seems like I can kiss my summer goodbye. I did get to skip two classes though so thats good. I just hope all goes well. I am going to have to cut way back...

    Im actually attending the Marion campus this time around. A lot closer to home. I had to drive an hour and 15 min to the Muncie campus for my LPN first time around so Im pretty stoked about that. Ill let you know how it goes. I actually have orientat...

    If your TEAS is that good I wouldn't worry about retaking that. An 80 is great honestly. I would jut retake anatomy 2 and psych since you will have a year for your region. If you get an A in either one of those you should have no problem getting in. ...

    Wow what a bummer. You seriously had to have barely missed it =(
  12. Ivy Tech--INDIANA

    You said you didnt get in with a TEAS of 80? How many points did you have if you dont mind me asking? I only had a 79 on my TEAS and I got in and my friend only got a 71 and got in as well. We both had all A's in our classes though.

  14. Ivy Tech--INDIANA

    Good luck to you as well. I know the TEAS this time around was way harder! I havent even started and Im already ready to get it over with lol. Im glad Im within two years of graduating so I at least get to skip the remeidiation course but still its ...

    I just got accepted to the transition in the Muncie region. They didn't lose any teachers that I know of. I just graduated from there a few years ago and as far as I know all the teachers are still there. They have always just started their transitio...
  16. I highly recommend going down to part time in your job though. Even if they do offer tuition reimbursement, thats what student loans are for. Your grades will thank you in the long run. When I was in school many people had to stop going to work and h...
  17. Any tips on taking vitals on geriatric patients?

    Just a fyi its an investment so yea its totally worth it, plus you can use it as a tax write off so why not?!
  18. Our school pounded ot into our heads to make sure we all carry it. I agree it is too cheap not to have it. My carrier gave me a 50% discount my first year of licensure...cool! This discussion reminds me that it is time for me to renew and I should p...
  19. I am SO mad.

    Even though this is totally unprofessional and uncalled for I would just leave it alone. She will sink her own ship eventually. No one was harmed so just let sleeping dogs lie. Trust me you DO NOT want to be deemed a "whistleblower" in this professio...
  20. So anxious/stressed.

    Just study your little heart out you can do it! But seriously you don't know stress yet until you actually hit the nursing program!
  21. Do you wanna be an RN??

    I got my LPN about 2 years ago and yes I can agree I am still burned out from school from 2 years ago! I just got accepted into my ADN bridge program and Im not overly excited but at the same time I am ready to move on. It is a May to May program so...
  22. Test Stopped at 135 NCLEX-PN got the good pop-up

    I never did get my "official" results for my PN NCLEX and that was almost two years ago that I took mine! All I know is that I passed but I never knew my actual results. My test turned off at 85 questions.

  25. Starting April 8th... What do I need to Know?

    Our teachers told us on our firt day that we could kiss our social life goodbye and I was like "Oh whatever" being 21 I sure did not want to hear that, BUT they were definately right!!! Im sorry to tell you but for the rest of your nursing school ca...
