CNAAJ

You can do it the entire time, I did. Graduated top of my class however it takes a great deal of dedication and a lot of missed sleep. Drink plenty water and eat as healthy as possible.

I worked 8's lasted one month after I first became a nurse and I found a job working 12's I just can't do the 8 hour shifts I felt a burn out coming on really soon

I'm a LPN and #1 I don't play that bs and #2 it's hardly any RN's where I work in a state of the art rehabilitation center that works with all type of recovering orthopedic surgeries and CVA's my unit manager is a LPN and my other job is the same way...

I did not have the money but I charged uworld on my credit card and it was one of the best chances I ever took in my life. I purchased it less than a week before my exam and spent hours a day on it maybe you and a former classmate can go half I also ...

Yes you never want to seem as though you are being misleading when I was applying for jobs I said experience "in nursing field" and then Id specify what I actually did but in a answer where you are filling out an app and you select, I selected 0-1 ye...

Uworld 61% did roughly 800 questions took nclex-pn passed with 85 questions

Uworld!

It is very challenging but it can be done I did the exact same thing for about 7 months of my 12 month program for the same reason. Then I transferred to day shift 7am-7pm for the remainder because i was beginning get more tired and it was better for...

Its not impossible however your must be very self motivated, adaptable, coachable and wise enough to learn from your mistakes.

Alot of drama follows nursing school and I have had my share of it. At the end of the day you did not sign up for school for them and I highly doubt they are paying any on your tuition. I say this to say ignore the ignorance focus on your studies and...

Being a CNA is not for everyone. I respect you for trying and realizing that it wasnt for you instead of making the patients life miserable for them thinking that you just didnt like them individually. Truthfully i never wanted to be a CNA i thought ...

I'm sorry you are going through this I can only imagine how uncomfotable it has to be. I often see new nurses at my job paired up with the seasoned nurses and their either are really good or really bad. I understand precepting is an important part of...

lol yeah ok good luck. By the way i made my response based on what you posted and if you were open to all opinions you would not be getting smart nor offened about what opinion you get and who you get it from.

Im still a it 4 months im super excited the light at the end of the tunnel is keeping me motivated!

Good luck there will be a memory care facility opeining around the time i graduate in March in my state. I plan on doing the same thing but my only fear for you is the fact that these are memory care patients which means they need a constant eye and ...

Im almost finish with my LPN diploma, however it's no need to "make your position known" you need to build a relationship with the CNA's or they can and will make your life hell. You're going about it the wrong way in order to get respect you have to...

That's a steal in Findlay Ohio the tuition is 23,000 for LPN and scrubs aren't included

It's easier said than done but pay them no mind I am in a LPN program now and a clerk at my job asked "so when are you going to go to real nursing school? like to get your RN" lol i simply smiled and reapeated the name of my school I said im in nursi...

I ordered my stethoscope from all heart however your local uniform store should supply blood pressure cuffs. I know here in Michigan a lot if the uniform stores only carry the dual tube stethoscope which I had for a while before nursing school but it...

I don't feel scared I just feel uneasy that im not really good with my medications. I also have held very high grades throughout my program but man am I afraid to take that NCLEX when im done. I do think being afraid is normal it shows that you care ...

I did not have to take pre reqs for my program its all kind of combined which I like I guess, however I had been to college prevoiulsy so I do have previous education in relation to science and medicine that helps. I am currently in the 6th month of ...

I ware champion mesh shoes that I purchased from payless. Those nursing shoes have to be broken in and I have yet to find a pair that I can stand more than 3 hours without wanting to scream. Don't spend a ton of money and purchase shoes that are comf...

Idk what area you're in but I would apply to other schools or I'd pick up hours at work, browse for places you think you'd want to work once you finish school.

Im more tired than anything. Im in a 12 month program I have about 6 months left my body is really tired of the early morning school/clinical days and the late night work hours but I wont give up ive come to far. Good luck thanks for the encouraging ...
