  1. Anyone else study prior to LPN program? If so which study books do you recommend?

    jtboy29 replied to Mysilver1's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Don't stress about the program or study material just yet. October is a long way from now so just enjoy life right now while you're not in LVN school right now. I remember when I first started LVN...

    jtboy29 replied to Maria3248's topic in General Students

  4. Dude I'm scared

    jtboy29 replied to Rslopez.health's topic in Male Nursing Students

    That's a normal feeling. I just graduated and have yet to take the NCLEX and find a job however; school only gets us to where we want to be and the actual job is where your actual training starts in...

  5. Anybody here ever found a GF or a future wife as a "murse" at work?

    jtboy29 replied to PlentyOfMurses's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Don't stress looking for a significant other. Focus on yourself first and that means finding a place to start your new career as a nurse after you pass the NCLEX. From what I've learned don't be hard...

  6. Working in nursing school

    jtboy29 replied to Aarceneaux94's topic in General Students

    Maybe a part-time job would be best. Nursing school requires you to have a full commitment and exceptional time management skills. When I started my LVN program back in October 2015 I made sure that...

  8. Should I go back to the same nursing school I failed out of

    jtboy29 replied to Divalish918's topic in General Students

    You never want your fear to consume you because that's already telling yourself you can't do it. Failing by .03 or .05 is a downer no matter what however; it's what you do from there on that gives you...

    jtboy29 replied to Divalish918's topic in General Students

    You're right. Maybe she should return back to the same school because for all she knows she might end up redeeming herself. Not long ago, I was given the choice of to repeat my final term or give...

  11. Hesi Tips needed!

    jtboy29 replied to Yodi2007's topic in HESI Entrance, Exit Exam

    You won't get the same HESI exam if you have to retake it. Best advice I can give you is look at the HESI hints again, practice more questions and if you have access to the topics you missed on the...

    Good for you for starting your LPN program next month. There are plenty of good resources out there to help you succeed. I got to my LVN program when I was 30 and now that I'm finished I'm still...

  13. Is lvn school hard?

    jtboy29 replied to Roxy0881's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    It's difficult and requires a great deal of commitment but it's extremely doable if you put your mind to it. I just finished my LVN program last Friday and I a graduate this Friday. I can tell you...

  14. Failing LPN School

    jtboy29 replied to Lessh's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Don't restart with the evening class or find another school. Neither would help you in passing A&P because you still have to learn the material. Addressing the problem is one thing, however; you...

  15. Study Practices in Nursing School

    jtboy29 replied to Cronin's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You might want to read the chapter along with recording the lectures. Reading the material will help you understand the material better. Nursing classes are different than any other class you've...

  16. Dealing with faeces?

    jtboy29 replied to ToastaHands's topic in General Students

    I can't think of any one person whether it be a nurse or a nursing student that likes the smell of feces. It doesn't happen often so you're fine. Don't give up nursing because the smell of feces is...

  17. Nursing school makes you crazy but this is too far!

    jtboy29 replied to mtngirl07's topic in General Students

    I wouldn't approach the behavior because that's her choice in doing so. If she wants to induce vomiting that's the problem not yours. Yes, I understand she's a fellow nursing student however; you also...

  18. Should I go back to the same nursing school I failed out of

    jtboy29 replied to Divalish918's topic in General Students

    If you don't have any patience in doing pre-req's again I suggest go back to the same program you were in. This all depends on if you are allowed back into the program after about 3 years. I know...

  19. Feel like giving up. Help, please!

    jtboy29 replied to Ilovenursing15's topic in General Students

    Just because you weren't invited to join your school's chapter of sigma theta tau doesn't mean you're not worthy of the profession. Your GPA doesn't determine what kind of nurse you will be so don't...

  20. Study Tips

    jtboy29 replied to heavenleighb's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    My advice would be. Read the chapters before lectures and hitting the key points which can be found at the end of the chapter. When taking notes, don't write word for word what the instructor has on...

  21. Are you about to graduate?

    jtboy29 replied to SaltySarcasticSally's topic in General Students

    I think it's personally normal to feel like that. When I was one month away from taking my EXIT HESI and graduating I was nervous as heck. I didn't know what to think because being my 2nd time around...

  22. I hate Sim Man's Genitals!

    jtboy29 replied to Zooey72's topic in General Students

    Only way to get better at this skill is by practice. I didn't get to do my first actual foley catheter until my ER rotation and it was only an in and out cath however; same concept. My other one was...

  23. What have I gotten myself into?

    jtboy29 replied to futureRN_'18's topic in General Students

    jtboy29 replied to Tayyy45's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I know the devastating feeling of failing a term/semester. In my LVN program, I was passing the final term with a 80% or better however; I failed the Exit HESI by one point (849) and I needed an 850....

  25. No Call No Show as a student.

    jtboy29 replied to LuffyXD's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Hopefully you are feeling better right now. Second, a no call no show is not unconstitutional. I would of checked if the message sent before or even follow-up with a phone call to the instructor...
