  1. Does anyone have a BA/MA, etc already?

    L&D_2b replied to Duchesse's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I have a BS degree in education. I got accepted to an accelerated BSN program and a community college's RN program. However, I chose to take a part time LPN program instead. I have four children...

  2. I started LPN school today!

    L&D_2b replied to L&D_2b's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Well, I got a 100% on my first aid test and another 100% on my pharmacology calculations test. I didn't think either were to hard. That brings my overall average to a 96% for this level. We only...

    Glad I can help. I'll keep you posted as to how my program is going. In the meantime, keep working on getting into your cc's nursing program. You won't regret it for a moment. Good luck in August....

    L&D_2b replied to L&D_2b's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I had a great day at clinicals today. I got to pass meds and it was sooooo much fun. I did tube feedings and meds, glucoscans (a ton at 7 and 11:30), administered oral meds, eye drops, ear drops,...

  5. My first day!

    L&D_2b replied to MeowTimesTwo's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Do a search at http://www.campusi.com It will pull up tons of online places that the book is available at, including ebay and half. Like someone already said, you'd better get the book instead of...

  6. I started LPN school today!

    L&D_2b replied to L&D_2b's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I had clinicals today. It turned out to be an ok day. However, my resident refused to cooperate this morning. I went into the room expecting to do a head to toe assessment and her a.m. care....

  7. And nursing school has not started yet!

    L&D_2b replied to mydee's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Just remember this quote, "You only see the obstacles when you have stopped focusing on your goal". Now, just keep the LPN license in mind:)

  8. I started LPN school today!

    L&D_2b replied to L&D_2b's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Wednesday was a pretty fun lecture class day. We all had to bring in oranges to practice giving injections on. We practiced cleaning off the vial top, measuring the amount of med we needed in the...

    Well, another day of clinical down. All in all, it went very well. I had one resident again. I was in charge of her ADL's and daily care. I also got to do my first head to toe assessment on her....

  10. The Net ...any Advice ?

    L&D_2b replied to livinlife1257's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Get the study guide. It is exactly like the test because it is made by the test makers. You can get it at http://www.eriworld.com It costs about $30. Without that study guide, I wouldn't have been...

  11. A little help please...I'm kinda desperate

    L&D_2b replied to love_being_an_aide's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I don't know anything about the job outlook in your area, but $7000 for tuition sounds good to me. My tuition is $9300. And that doesn't include anything but tuition costs. Good luck in your...

  12. For mrsraisinkain

    L&D_2b replied to L&D_2b's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I didn't think nutrition was going to be that hard either, but it was. I had an 88 on that test. However, I thought fluid and electrolytes was going to be a killer and I got 102% on that one (got...

  13. Help! I'm having serious difficulty adjusting to LPN school

    L&D_2b replied to babycakes78's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Boy, sounds like we are taking the same program! Just kidding. However, it just goes to show that the situation you described in your program is similiar to others programs as well. The only advice...

  14. I started LPN school today!

    L&D_2b replied to L&D_2b's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Believe it or not, you will learn to cope and operate under circumstances like these. I had to go to clinicals last week dead tired because my daughter had me up most of the night before with an ear...

  15. Mercer County Career Center?

    L&D_2b replied to joyfulgrrl's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    I just started in January. I won't graduate until November 2009. Like I said, I'm in the part time class. Feel free to come and "seek me out" when you get there in July. I'm a career changer as...

  16. Mercer County Career Center?

    L&D_2b replied to joyfulgrrl's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    I'm taking the program right now! I'm not real sure what you want to know. I'm in the part time program that meets 2-3 days a week (it alternates each week). I LOVE my teacher. She is an...

    L&D_2b replied to L&D_2b's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Congratulations! You did a great job! I was so scared taking my first few tests. Once you know what to expect, it's not too bad anymore. Study hard, our nutrition test was pretty tough. I'm sure...

    L&D_2b replied to L&D_2b's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Clinical went pretty well today. Last week was just an "orientation to the facility". Nothing really great to report there. It was just all policy and procedure. Today I got my first REAL, LIVE...

    Sounds like you had a busy week. Welcome to being a nursing student. I always have such great intentions about coming home and writing about the days experiences for other allnurses members to read....

    L&D_2b replied to L&D_2b's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I know exactly how you feel. School is great, but it is exhausting as well. When you get the chance, let me know how it's going. We need to get together sometime. Dayton is not far from me. I...
