2. Where did you all buy your white nurse shoes?

   DisneyMagicMomma replied to smartypants22's topic in LPN/LVN Students

   Walmart Safetreds in white. If you can't find them in store, you can order them online, have them shipped to the store and take them out and walk in them there. If you don't like them, you can return them while you're there. Mine were $22 and they ar...

3. Working While in Nursing School

   DisneyMagicMomma replied to alihoff93's topic in LPN/LVN Students

   Sounds like you were looking for a fight. I was responding solely to the original poster. She asked if it could be done, and I responded with yes, but it isn't wise. I shouldn't have to wait around until someone else responds just to make you feel li...

4. shoplifting nurse... License revocation?

   DisneyMagicMomma replied to angelenr's topic in Criminal

   Get the best lawyer you can afford, and ask for an adjournment in contemplation of dismissal. If you get this, and stay "good" for whatever amount of time the judge orders (he may also order community service), the charge will be dismissed and not on...

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

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

   I am doing the LPN bridge to RN and then traditional BSN. That's the plan now. We have very little financial means and this is a way to step up in paygrade as I go. All the way to NP. :0)

7. Lpn school

   DisneyMagicMomma replied to futurenurse1986's topic in LPN/LVN Students

   I draw pictures. Literally. I am a visual learner and things come together when I draw it out and get a feel for it. I also watch youtube viseos for a visual of how each system works, or each skill, etc.

8. Concerned with LPN School Backgound Check

   DisneyMagicMomma replied to wannabe2013's topic in LPN/LVN Students

   I have not, but your question is best directed towards your chosen school and your state requirements. It is my understanding that certain charges bar you altogether. No one here can give you the final word on that.

10. What should I do before the LPN program begins?

    DisneyMagicMomma replied to slwlpn2rn's topic in LPN/LVN Students

    Relax! Enjoy your sleep. Maybe brush up on basic algebra if you're dying to do something. Med terms would be fine, but just look at them once a day. Really, you should just relax while you can. The next year or more is going to be nothing but studyin...

11. Unappreciative classmates

    DisneyMagicMomma replied to Zelda21's topic in General Students

    Imagine how thrilled your patient would be if you DID have the answer. This is precisely what saved my father's life as a child; someone who'd heard about an obscure illness one time in school. He proposed the possibility, they tested and they saved ...

12. Opinion on your uniforms?

    DisneyMagicMomma replied to green34's topic in General Students

    I can't stand white pants. It's just an accident waiting to happen. However, I am especially lucky that during theory and lab days I can wear whatever scrubs I like. Yay!!

13. Delta college! (Rant)

    DisneyMagicMomma replied to lilREDthang's topic in Louisiana

    They CAN NOT ask you questions regarding your children, childcare, or relationship status! Ever! Report them, right negative reviews and move on to a new school. Best of luck!
