1. Can a BSN be enough?

   ejones4 posted a topic in General Nursing

   I have posted in this forum since I was a CNA. I have done the CNA to LPN to ADN to BSN. All I heard throughout the years is "are you going to go further?" While I understand it from the beginning standpoint, I'm done! I have my BSN now but feel "not...

2. LPN student in fall just wanting advice

   ejones4 replied to lpn2bekie's topic in LPN/LVN Students

   I split my chapters up. This allows me to be able to learn a small amount of info at a time and really focus on learning the material instead of finishing a chapter and feeling overwhelmed. For example: I will take a chapter, look at the full number ...

5. Advice Please

   I agree, rest up now. It's an entire different world from regular classes. I have social media as well. I didn't give it up, but I'm going to limit it more come next semester. Stay ahead and take it one chapter, one class, one day at a time. But for ...

   Well firstly don't get so caught up on the drugs individually. You will NEVER remember every drug. Focus on the drugs as a group. Ex: -lol as a suffix are most likely beta blockers. They work to help lower blood pressure and help the heart work. So f...

   Passed med/surg I with a C and pharm with an A. Man med/Surg was so hard. I literally passed by .3 and I'm thankful. I figured out my way of studying a little late in the game, but I passed. What works for me: reading the entire chapter before class,...

    Nursing classes are 6-7 weeks depending on which program. My program is only a year long. And a prereq for my lpn class was to already be CNA certified or have taken a class on the basic ADLs. You had to have done that to get accepted so we were test...

    Just finished my first lpn class! Earned a B in fundamentals and let me just say that wasn't an easy grade to learn. I had 3 exams and a final. My grades were 85,82,79 and 85 on the final. I was praying for a B on the final to get a B in the class. N...
