  1. Please Help me...

    Jay_LPN replied to bugs1439's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I think the Pre-Nursing section would be of better help to

  2. Please Help me...

    Jay_LPN replied to bugs1439's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Wait, aren't LPNs not allowed to teach and educate patients? I'm pretty sure this is the RNs job. But if it's just something to do, I would ask one of your parents to write down their daily eating and...

  3. How many men in your cohort?

    Jay_LPN replied to Caribbean Character's topic in Male Nursing Students

    4 or 5 out of 30. One of them may have failed out during the summer session, I'll find out whose left in

  4. Need advice, suggestions. I dont know where to start . Please help

    Jay_LPN replied to caperez's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    At my community college, the pre-requisite classes for nursing fill up rapidly so you'd have to try to enter early on (about a month ago for the Fall semester). You can try to get in when people drop...

  5. men in pediatrics:) thoughts?

    Jay_LPN replied to hrawlins's topic in Men in Nursing

    That's a good thing. Anyhow, what I posted was just for discussion value. Best wishes for your future

  6. What Is Your Most Gross, Yucky, Disgusting Nursing Horror Story?

    Jay_LPN replied to yazisizit's topic in Nursing Humor

    The imagery is just great isn't it? "The attending nurse from the IMCU walks to the room, weeping.She reaches into her purse and pulls out a small plastic spray bottle from Bath and Body floral body...

  7. ATI

    Jay_LPN replied to kenee23's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    That's terrible! My class requires it but the professors went out of their way to get us a discount. We pay $225 before Fall and $225 before spring. Yours should probably look into that next time...

  8. men in pediatrics:) thoughts?

    Jay_LPN replied to hrawlins's topic in Men in Nursing

    I wish to also play Devil's Advocate. In general, parents these days seem to assume men are inherently pedophiles. In the profession of teaching; a single accusation, even proven false, is a permanent...

  9. What Is Your Most Gross, Yucky, Disgusting Nursing Horror Story?

    Jay_LPN replied to yazisizit's topic in Nursing Humor

    I think I have something that's far worse than anything here. Not my own experience, friend sent me this a month or two ago. Warning: Language, horrible imagery. An experience I wouldn't wish upon...

  10. Summer/Fall 2013 LPN class updates and how's it going

    Jay_LPN replied to ASPIRING2BGREAT's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I feel so lucky to only have to get 2-3 books per semester which are very well utilized. My wallet is also thankful. @A2BGreat, best wishes on successful grades. There's a certain sort of feeling of...

  11. August 2013 Caption Contest: Win $100!

    Jay_LPN replied to Joe V's topic in News, Announcements

    "Wait, didn't you just tell me yesterday that you were too weak to help us lift that bariatric patient?" "I hope you made enough for everyone. The cows went on

  12. Please tell me why you dreamed of being a nurse from a young age

    Jay_LPN replied to avhoney's topic in General Nursing

    Funny last option. I can just imagine someone being handed a license and saying "I didn't ask for this." But more realistically, probably just one of those people who thought entering nursing...

  14. What's the funniest most unusual baby name?

    Jay_LPN replied to nirvana1's topic in Nursing Humor

    That actually isn't a bad name, but I would be the jerk who always comments "that is SO Raven" whenever she does

  15. What's the funniest most unusual baby name?

    Jay_LPN replied to nirvana1's topic in Nursing Humor

    That name sounds like it came straight out of Skyrim. It actually sounds pretty epic. Worst name I ever heard of was Sha'dynasty. Pronounced "Sha-Dynasty" but often mispronounced as "Shady

  16. Does anyone else feel pressure to get your RN?

    Jay_LPN replied to nene71's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I'm not even half-way through school and I'm pressured by parents to go further. So much negativity out of my mom towards LPNs and I'm not even sure she can explain what's different beyond the length...

  17. What are my chances of getting into an Accelerated Nursing Program with a 3.1?

    Jay_LPN replied to mlb27's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    They usually only count the pre-requisite courses. I cannot come to an answer regarding odds of acceptance. But if your GPA improves when you recalculate with only the relevant prerequisites, it...

  18. Stethoscopes

    Jay_LPN replied to kenee23's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    The littmann classic SE is also good (at a more reasonable price). I didn't want to get the best thing available because of all the "borrowing" I've been hearing about on this site. Just make sure you...

  19. Starting LPN What should I do to get ahead before I start

    Jay_LPN replied to alvarado88's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    As for math you should know things like converting units (grams, mg), converting temperatures from Celsius to Farenheit (F=1.8C+32), converting inches to centimeters (2.5 cm per inch). You need to...

  20. Summer/Fall 2013 LPN class updates and how's it going

    Jay_LPN replied to ASPIRING2BGREAT's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Nice of you to ask. :) My experience has been great so far. I've completed the summer session courses and am resuming the program this fall. I have my first clinicals then as well. Just trying to keep...

  21. Class is getting unbearable

    Jay_LPN replied to mbl2013's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Pay little attention to them, the only thing that matters is your graduation and licensing. Networking can be a good thing, but you should just ignore people who are unable to act maturely. Hopefully...

  22. supplies needed for lpn school

    Jay_LPN replied to slwlpn2rn's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    You may find them in abundance, but it's always good to keep extra gloves and alcohol swabs with

  23. I DID IT! I'M DONE!

    Jay_LPN replied to Mrsladysoul83's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I'd like to meet the instructor who puts down a student who achieves A and B grades... Seriously, isn't it their job to educate and encourage? Anyhow, keep turning that negativity into greatness....

  24. Starting nursing school in August & I'm scared 😱

    Jay_LPN replied to nursingismycalling25's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    First off, CALM DOWN. Second, I don't think they'd accept you into their program if they didn't feel it was within your capability. In my LPN program, we went over study techniques and such in the...

  25. How Many people did your program start out with?

    Jay_LPN replied to Philly_LPN_Girl's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Started off 30. As far as I'm aware, only 1 person dropped. I noticed people failed some of their first courses which is unfortunate but I know they will try and do better. Though these were fluff...
