  1. ati pharmacology test

    Jay_LPN replied to chicaloca9999's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I did that test. It's actually pretty easy to make educated guesses on each of the questions if you don't know. There are 3 safety and infection control questions, 1 health promotion and maintenance...

  2. ATI PN Predictor exit exam

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

    The predictor was pretty rough for me, but it did say I have a 94% chance of passing nclex on the first try. I hope that's true. I'll start studying after the ATI 3-day in-class content

  3. did your LPN program have prereqs?

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

    I had 2 choices of program. 1 was a local community had pre-requisites of AP 1&2, Eng 101 and Psych 101. It was only 1 year. The second was BOCES, which only required good grades on the entrance...

  4. To be or not to be an LPN?

    Jay_LPN replied to Rice7's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    At my college, we had about 20 LPN graduates, and over 200 RN graduates. Personally, it seems like my job hunt is a lot easier compared to the job hunt for RN graduates. This work experience will also...

  5. Stereotyping Male Nurses

    Jay_LPN replied to lvansick's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Sorry, I don't quite understand what you mean. If you mean that image was offensive, I apologize. I intended for it to be humorous. It was only a reference to a popular show in Japan, where nursing is...

  6. Stereotyping Male Nurses

    Jay_LPN replied to lvansick's topic in Male Nursing Students

    And here we see two typical male nursing students on their clinical rotations... Kidding! Because nursing is not inherently a feminine occupation as it once was, not many people would bat an eye at a...

  7. 80 or above is passing!

    Jay_LPN replied to mfigueroa22's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    That's rough. Our course has a 70 requirement as per the college, although you were grilled if you got anything less than an 80. Fortunately I'm well above that with an 85 average in both my courses...

  8. Why more men are needed

    Jay_LPN replied to DrkCocoMurse215's topic in Men in Nursing

    That was a response to your last post. My point was there there doesn't need to be anymore male nurses in the United States to prove that it isn't an entirely feminine career choice. In other...

  9. Why more men are needed

    Jay_LPN replied to DrkCocoMurse215's topic in Men in Nursing

    What is this? The 1960s? Male nurses have been on the rise in recent years, and it is already largely accepted that men can be nurses. Very rarely however you can get a specific person of some other...

  10. Who else starts classes on Tuesday 9-3

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

    I resumed on the third. Wasn't that bad. I got flooded with papers and packets which are weighing down my recently-emptied folders. Now I feel like I'm getting what I signed up for. Even started...

  11. Taking notes

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

    Are the notes printable? Are there slides? I am personally a slow note-taker and I find that it leaves me paying little attention to the professor. If you want, you could get some sort of recording...

  12. LVNs/LPNs being phased out?!

    Jay_LPN replied to Mainergal2000's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Eh, some people will be generally annoying about the subject. My parents seem to think it will be easy, but they forget it's still nursing school. Just one year of it. I chose my program in particular...

  13. LVNs/LPNs being phased out?!

    Jay_LPN replied to Mainergal2000's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Here's a good article by TheCommuter. The 6th paragraph should answer your

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

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

    It really depends on the program. Some will have half their class fail, others (like mine) had years where nobody failed. You should ask about the pass/graduation rate to your prospective

  15. men in pediatrics:) thoughts?

    Jay_LPN replied to hrawlins's topic in Men in Nursing

    Imagine seeing a female nurse fired for checking to see if a male patient was dressed. It doesn't happen because women aren't assumed to do such things with a sexual intent. That was my entire basis...

  16. Why do you visit allnurses.com?

    Jay_LPN replied to Joe V's topic in Nursing Humor

    I found AllNurses by Google. Basically every single nursing question I've ever asked has been discussed here in great depth. I took note of the wondrous discussions, the friendly users and decided to...

  17. YAY...officially on the waiting list:)

    Jay_LPN replied to 7237dallas's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    That is a ridiculously long time to wait for only a chance to get in. Definitely look to apply elsewhere. Good luck with getting into a nursing

  18. Tattoos are taboo at work. Yes? No?

    Jay_LPN replied to Joe V's topic in Nurses Rock

    I'd be fine with any tattoo on a medical professional as long as it isn't anything along the lines of this. That includes the grim reaper, tombstones, a skull with cross bones or anything bloody....

  19. What is your opinion?

    Jay_LPN replied to bugs1439's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I drink a lot of Coke Zero which contains Aspartame instead of sugar. Typically 3 cans of the stuff a day. I did a lot of research and the only side effect I've heard of is a craving for sweet things....

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

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

    Well, that program's reputation must be pretty poor among your community. My professor told us about how one student made an severe error in surgery. She was asked to get a pair of scissors and handed...

  21. Big pay cut at Orlando Health, please help your fellow Nurses

    Jay_LPN replied to skyflight's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    It seems everything I read about Florida is something negative. Hopefully this won't become a trend any time soon. Nurses shouldn't be anymore underpaid than they already are for their

  22. Does taking 12 credits a semester look bad?

    Jay_LPN replied to Jannie92's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took a single A&P 2 course for the fall semester and no courses for the spring semester (since I had everything down and was waiting on program acceptance) and there was no mention of it when I...

  23. Calculations

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

    You should also know inches to cm (1 in - 2.5 cm), converting traditional time to military time, converting celsius to farenheit and back (F=1.8C+32), these: 1 teaspoon is 5 mL 1 tablespoon is 15 mL 1...

  24. Bombed first exam

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

    Try to form a study group, create flashcards (I use the CueCard program), check to see if your textbook offers extra online resources to review chapters, take up your professors on extra help if...

  25. help nursing school is destroying me physically and mentally

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

    One of the girls in my class had a panic attack as well and ended up bombing one of her tests. She not stupid or has bad study habits (a solid B-A student), it's just the weight those exams carry on...
