Nursing pursuit

Hey guys. Just wanted to post this for inspiration for anyone who needs this. I came to this site looking for direction after flunking out of a nursing program from years ago. I decided to come back to finish what I started. It was not easy to get a ...

I’ve been through that and more. I’ve had someone drop out days before classes started and I ended up getting a spot. I’d stay on top of that because people do drop out at the last minute believe it or not. This happened on my 2nd attempt at reapplyi...

I just got your post via email so we can still see it. Also, good for you, as for me, I’m on my way to graduating so I hope I can have a happy ending as well.

I had to go through something similar to this. I withdrew from LPN med surge due to failing my exams and the second time around I barely passed. I would see if you can gather some material for the class and just study it over break or something. Nurs...

Hi. So my background information is that I had already gone through LPN school and passed my boards. I’m in the RN program right now and I already knocked out 5 of my classes. However, I’m curious about this subject to see if such a thing still exist...

I already went through LPN school and passed my boards. I just wanted to know about all this for my information, that’s all.

It would only be worth it if you can challenge the LPN boards after the first year is done in a two year RN program. I thought those kinds of programs existed but I haven’t heard of them.

That’s pretty much all my nursing courses in my RN program if you have to finish all that. In my program, you would be graduating with your RN by the time you completed all those classes and there wouldn’t be a point to take the LPN boards.

The simple answer for me is because I’ve always portrayed myself as a healer. I’ve helped many people in my past with all kinds of problems so this field does match with what I’ve been doing as well as who I am as a person.

LPN will not make you good money. I was a Medical Assistant (not certified) before getting my LPN and was making $20.65 an hour and as a new LPN I get $20.45 an hour. Also, agency companies will screw you over as a new grad. I got accepted at an agen...

I’m an LPN already. I went to school for it and graduated from my program and passed my boards obviously. I’m just curious, that’s all. If anything, this question will help other people who are lurking here. Also, I’ve completed 5 RN classes after pa...

I know an RN student can’t just walk in on the NCLEX-PN. I just wanted to see which colleges and states allowed challenging the NCLEX-PN based off of some completed RN courses.

Hey! Here’s what I would do. First thing, form a small clique with motivated and experienced people because from my experience, teachers don’t want to teach things like taking vitals so be prepared for that. Prepare to do lots of writing, memorizatio...

I’m just curious, does D’Youville use HESI exit exams like other nursing schools? It seems like HESI is the new wave because it’s popping up a lot around here.

So in my program, I need an 850 or more on all my HESI exams. The one I have coming up is for Maternal Newborn next month and I see UWorld has 163 questions in the bank. I just want to know if that’s enough to pass my HESI exit exam?

True. If I had listened to people in this forum, I wouldn't have been readmitted to the RN program. It's hard to get back in, but it can be done if you shop around.

Hey guys, so I want to share what worked for me and what didn't work me in terms of the first semester of the RN program. Six years ago I took my RN courses with Microbiology and failed two of my nursing courses. So I was taking 4 nursing classes wit...

“Spaced repetition”. Exactly what I do when writing my notes along with highlighting the topic(s).

Wow, your school allows 3 attempts at a nursing course? That’s generous of them since most schools including mine is 2 attempts only. What I do for all my nursing courses is write out your my notes. You need to do this as accurately and as quickly as...

Even half of the class failing seems to be the norm. In my school when 80% of the class failed out only then was action taken against the instructor. For the first time ever, the nursing course was offered during the summer which usually never happen...

Hi, so this is something I’m wondering as I will be starting my first nursing position as an LPN. Because LPNs are so limited in my hospital, they’re specialities seem to be all over the place. Is it better to have experience in different departments...

Well, I’m not sure what my goal is. I’ve thought about being a pediatric RN but the downside to that is that I wouldn’t know anything else which may make it hard to accept side gigs through agencies since I don’t know anything else. I’ve also thought...

I've been in your shoes. I failed two nursing courses and was dismissed six years ago, and now I returned to that same school and repeated those failed nursing courses, and the courses I did pass due to them being expired. It has worked in my favor s...

I took my NCLEX-PN 3 years later and still passed by using UWorld. I didn't even finish all the questions in the bank because I believe in quality over quantity. If I knew a certain amount of info. really well then that would be better for me then do...

I'm an LPN and I started from square one by choice. I just found out today that I passed all my classes. The reason I started over was because I failed out 6 years ago but it has worked out better for me since I did better even on the classes that I ...
