   Would you go straight to RN or start as LPN?

   GrayTimelessBeauty replied to ana377's topic in LPN/LVN Students

   Well me personally. I have a 1 year old and STNA just wont cut it. Which is why I pursued LPN with people in my area starting off around 26.50. Most graduates from my school are getting that much or higher an hour. It just enables me to be able to live a more comfortable life while pursuing a long term degree. I say if you can afford to go straight for it. 2 girls that I graduated from high with are both in 4 Year BSN programs and they graduate next year with a Bachelors. I graduate a lot sooner in a December and Ill be thankful to have my Diploma but man just a few extra months for a Bachelors would have been fantastic. But Ill be going right back in, like I said it just depends on your situation.

   GrayTimelessBeauty replied to Jen_Loves_Nursing's topic in LPN/LVN Students

   Whooo, im in my 8th week. Everything has finally started to ease up as we head towards our last 4 weeks. Theres SOOOO many tests and we check off once a week. Ive mangaged in the 80's so far. Hopefully the quarter ends great. Its time for "Fight Or Flight", as my A&P teacher would say lol.

    1st Quarter Update

    GrayTimelessBeauty posted a topic in LPN/LVN Students

    Just a quick update. I havent been on in about 6 weeks. The quarter has been moving VERY fast. So, so far I have an 81% in Fundamentals/Math/Pharmacology, an 86% in Anatomy&Physiology, and a 99% in LAB. We've checked off in Hand Washing, Wound Care, Bandages, Head To Toe Assessment, Vital Signs, HT&WT, Transfering A Patient, Lifting, Positions, Bed Baths & Full baths. Next week we check off on NG-Tubes. That should be fun. So far I feel great. We've really been diggin off into our A&P but I have been having some trouble with Fundamentals as you can tell by my 81%. The basic math that we're doing is throwing me off and I have to take control. The teacher that I have focuses so much on the basic math that we have been neglecting Fundamentals for the last 3 weeks. However, everything is getting better. We have just over 4 weeks left and Im so excited about Finals and moving on to second Quarter. So, so far so good. I really just need to buckle down and get my grades up. I know I can do better. We have 4 more tests this week and then we are down to 4 weeks left. WHOOOO!!!! The only other thing Ive been struggling with is my ATI assignments. They will not record my time and it really sucks to not get credit for something that you invest hours in. However, the director is working to fix the ATI bug. Feel free to share your 1st Quarter updates, questions, comments, etc.

    How do you study?

    GrayTimelessBeauty replied to WonderousIvy's topic in LPN/LVN Students

    Me personally, im on my cramming stage. Im a week in my 1st semester and monday we have a test on about 400 words, symbols, abbre, and word parts. I cant say how helpful helpful helpful flash cards are. They are like the golden gem of memorization. Ive also diverted my attention to Cornell Notes which really helps and I rap or sing the difficult parts.

    White pants. Freaking white pants.

    GrayTimelessBeauty replied to Red Kryptonite's topic in LPN/LVN Students

    Gosh that sucks. Ours are royal blue! I did white scrubs in my last program. I would suggest wearing an old jacket, something you dont mind laying down so you can sit on it.
