    So I've been reading

    cracklingkraken replied to Realauren89's topic in General Students

    Sometimes it does. Saunders has a lot more content than my classes for Med-Surg, Mental Health, etc. But it is very simplified and organized, which I like. It can word certain concepts in a way that...

    I can't remember the policy with the nursing program. Personally, I would take the W and withdraw. But I'm not sure if they account that into the admission decision (I don't think they do, but don't...

    Should I buy an NCLEX book before starting nursing school

    cracklingkraken replied to czerwodl121's topic in General Students

    You won't really be able to use it for content. I would wait until you actually start nursing school for that. But I know the Saunders' NCLEX book has some test-taking strategies that you could look...

    If you're failing A&P already, it will be hard to catch up. Ivy Tech highly weighs your A&P grade as one of the factors to get into their program. Sorry, don't know what to tell

    Oh my... *grabs popcorn* Many hospitals (at least in my area) are phasing out LPNs. The floors consist of PCTs/CNAs and RNs. Not to say that it's impossible to find as an LPN, but you will find more...

    cracklingkraken replied to TiaRenee's topic in General Nursing

    Opening a can of worms, I see... To OP: I would do a bit more research on nursing. It's not a warm, fuzzy profession, and you're not always guaranteed a position in the specialty you want after you...
