  3. First Med Pass

    flwannaB replied to nursesaideBen's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I know it's very scary but take comfort in knowing that your instructor will be with you the entire time. It is his or her license you will be under so your instructor will not allow you to make...

    flwannaB replied to DelanaRN's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    It must have been a very difficult decision to make for you. But as I said before, trust your heart. If you feel that it is not the right time for you, then you know best. I wish you good

  5. Is this the norm?

    flwannaB posted a topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    flwannaB replied to flwannaB's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

  7. Still mulling this over...am scared half to death. Advice please.

    flwannaB replied to clc19k30's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Dig deep into your heart. If you really want to be a nurse, there is no time like the present to start. I know the idea of having debt is scarry. You have to weigh out how much you want to be a nurse....

  13. $25,000 for LPN program! Help!

    flwannaB replied to DelanaRN's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I second that. 25K is way too much. Working on your prereqs now may be your best bet. It may not take as long as they say to get into an RN

    flwannaB replied to Christos Anesti's topic in LPN, LVN Students

  18. New LPN student needing advice!

    flwannaB replied to mysticalmoonray's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Not always true. I go to a private school and it is very strict. Strict about absences, strict about cirriculum, strict about clinicals and strict about dress code. I have heard that compared to some...

  19. Working towards LPN school!

    flwannaB replied to mydee's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Here in Florida, most of our schools do not require you to take prereqs. Maybe that is something you have available in your state. Do not be so hard on yourself about not doing well in school. I did...

  22. How can 1 LPN take on 60 patients in one shift?

    flwannaB replied to Bala Shark's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I am wondering why everyone is giving Bala Shark such a bad time. She came for advice and instead, she is getting a verbal lashing. Lets not cast stones
