I go to a part time program at a technical school. My schedule alternates between 2-3 days a week. When clinicals start at the end of the month, I will go once a week. I will then still have lecture...
I still check this site a couple of times a week. However, since I've started school I've been soooooo busy with the school work, husband, kids, house, etc. I apologize to all of you who have been...
They are so comfortable and trendy. I just love those scrubs. My nursing school doesn't care what style of uniforms we wear, just that they are white. Well, of course I got everything I could in...
I wouldn't waste your money buying books now that you might not even use in your program. However, if you want to get a "head start", I would brush up on your math skills. Although I don't think...
Sorry it took me awhile to update this. I got a 98% on my asepsis test. That was a long chapter. Not overly hard or anything, just an abundance of reading. We started working in the lab this week....
Well, today was my first day back. I got a 97% on my nursing process test. I also got 3 out of 3 on my quiz. Those were both "makeups" from last week. I have a test on medical asepsis on...
I just wanted to update this post and let you all know that my school allowed me to take the two days off of class this week (we only had two days this week). Although I have to make it up, I don't...
I'm sure you all know that I have been posting my experiences about starting LPN school on this site. However, today was just an awful day and I really could use some shoulders to cry on. It turns...
I am so sorry to hear about your husband's co-worker. I certainly will keep his wife in my prayers. Thank you so much for all of the words of encouragement. I did ask my instructor to change my...
Suzi, One of the saddest parts of this whole story is that three of my classmates were behind her that day. One witnessed the entire accident. He said they were about to go up a hill. She moved...
Sorry for the delay in response. I'm a former CNA. However, I haven't work in that capacity in 12 years. I worked my way through college the first time as a CNA in a nursing home. I also crossed...
Suzi-Q, Thanks for keeping up on my posts. I'm glad they are helping everyone. I'm not sure if you read another recent post of mine or not, but my nursing school classmate I sit with and do labs...
Well, we had our test today on Communications and I got 100% Wahoo!!!! The test was 40 questions. I thought I did ok, but there were two questions that stumped me. We finished going over the...
Speaking as a patient, I have had four children and cerclages with the last three. My second son made it to 34 weeks 1 day. My third son made it to 36 weeks 2 days and my daughter made it until 36...
Boy, we live similar lives. I'm 31, married, and my children are 12, 8, 4 and 1. My husband is also a self employed financial advisor, which makes child care of the younger two a little easier since...
Alright, this is my last day this week. I got a 100% on my quiz. Now, I have to study for the test next Tuesday. We went over the chapter on documentation today. We also watched some videos on...
Well, I got a 93% on my test today. That was a relief. We took our test first thing in the morning. I think it took me about 45 mintues to complete. We were given 1 hour and 15 minutes to take it,...
Day 4 is now over. This morning we went over chapter 3 on communication. That took us just about until lunch. After lunch, we got into groups and did role playing of the different types of nursing...
Get the NET study guide. It's exactly like the test. You can get it at http://www.eriworld.com It costs around $30. You can also try ebay and Barnes and Noble, but those places tend to sell out...
I am wondering if in time, the students will work together to better each other or is it dog eat dog/all about me and my personal success? I just didnt get the feeling anyone was all to interested in...
If I can answer any questions, feel free to ask. You can either post them here or PM me. If it is Monday thru Wednesday, you might have to wait until later in the week for a response (school)....
