  1. Nursing School Dismissal Issue

    jtboy29 replied to lwillis3's topic in General Students

    Thing is you don't know your friend's situation and how he went about it and you have no right to seek information regarding his re-admission back into the program. To discuss his situation with the...

  2. What should I study ahead?

    jtboy29 replied to june82's topic in General Students

    Being that you are 3 months away from starting the program I wouldn't study ahead of the program. If you feel like studying, brush up on your anatomy and physiology along with reading up on dosage...

  3. Hesi exit

    jtboy29 replied to copelin7's topic in HESI Entrance, Exit Exam

    That's a great score. What did you do to study? I'm in an LVN program however I think tips would work for me as well I hope. But 2 out of 3 times? That's rough. I understand you have to pass it once...

  4. LPN Online Certificate

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

    Someone asked a similar question a couple weeks back. Due to the necessity to complete clinical hours and the skills lab, which can't be done online there are no exclusive online LVN programs. Hybrid...

  5. Miserably Failing the HESI Exit

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

    I have to agree. Studying using the study guide that was given to you along with the HESI book and practicing questions are good ways to study for the HESI exams including the Exit HESI. The practice...

  6. Would anyone suggest using uworld to pass the HESI exit?

    jtboy29 replied to sashaq's topic in General Students

    Using the Silvestri and the HESI (red book, as it is more updated) are good resources for you to

  7. Passed Pediatrics HESI and now studying for Psych and Exit

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

    Thanks. It was a study guide used by our instructor which I won't in respect share. However, I will share some tips on doing well the next time you take the OB HESI and/or PEDs HESI. When you're...

  8. Passed Pediatrics HESI and now studying for Psych and Exit

    jtboy29 posted a topic in HESI Entrance, Exit Exam

    As most would say Pediatrics is tough due to the different milestones and growth and development of pediatrics along with the many diseases that pediatrics patients will have. Well today, took my...

  9. What are clinicals really like?

    jtboy29 replied to coder24's topic in General Students

    I'm in my last term of LVN school and through our 2nd-4th terms we spent on average about 6-7 hours in clinicals, except for our Maternity Rotation we actually spent the full 12 hours and it was just...

  10. Failed out in last semester

    jtboy29 replied to Aspirational Beauty's topic in General Students

    Don't ever feel discouraged and nursing is not a unrealistic goal. Seeing your reasons for failing out last semester shouldn't make you feel discouraged at all. I know I'm not a parent and I failed...

  11. What helped me the most during school

    jtboy29 replied to ireyes98's topic in Study Tips for Students's Share Tips

    That is so true. Nursing school just gets you to where you want to be and from there it's ongoing learning. You can never stop learning as a

  12. Wrong call maybe??

    jtboy29 replied to BrittTX's topic in General Students

    Exactly. Hopefully I can pass my program this time around. My cousin who's an RN said school just gets you to where you want to be and in the real world is where you really

  13. Wrong call maybe??

    jtboy29 replied to BrittTX's topic in General Students

    You are right instructors and higher-ups do not like to be proven wrong. Right when you said "isolated incident" that does place the situation upon the instructors themselves. I do hope that there was...

  14. Wrong call maybe??

    jtboy29 replied to BrittTX's topic in General Students

    As a nursing student, you are supposed to trust your instructors. I trust mine and if there is a difference in teaching methods the instructors would find a common ground. As I remember, we can touch...

  15. I hate nursing school:(

    jtboy29 replied to Diehardsabre's topic in General Students

    When doing practice questions just don't do them just to do them. Read the question and break it down and try to understand what the question is asking. I tried just doing practice questions without...

  16. Can I become a nurse if I'm not great at math?

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

    Med Math requires Dosage Calculations, IV Flow Rates and IV Drip Rate calculations are examples of it. I was never good in math however; getting the hang of med math with dosage calculations, IV flow...

  17. Feeling doubtful...just got accepted to Nursing school!

    jtboy29 replied to jmhastings334's topic in General Students

    I've felt that way and it's fine to feel that way. You got into Nursing School for a reason. I suggest reading up on the many threads within AllNurses along with many other resources available to you....

  18. Awkward moment?

    jtboy29 replied to Soran's topic in Male Nursing Students

    It is slightly awkward being a male nursing student and having to do any sort of patient care on a woman especially the ones that are fully alert and awake it makes it that much harder. I've had...

  19. 4th semester nursing student and feeling doubtful

    jtboy29 replied to ns808's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I think as long as you learn from your mistake and fix it the next time you will be fine. A fellow classmate of mine felt bad after she administered the wrong vaccine to a patient and she felt...

  20. Dealing with a bad group member...did I screw up and what to do now? (Long)

    jtboy29 replied to throwaway26's topic in General Students

    I think you should of noticed his actions and his effort the first time around. However, you saw some light in him that he might have changed the second time around. After the actions he displayed, I...

  21. Can't pass HESI, but graduated

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

    Was the HESI a requirement for you to graduate? Like most nursing programs around the country, passing the Exit HESI with the set requirement whether it be an 850 or 900 is a graduation requirement....

  22. How should I pursue my degree?

    jtboy29 replied to Zena84's topic in General Students

    I don't have kids so this doesn't apply to me however; the fact you're a working mother and have 5 kids. Do you have any family members, close friends that can watch the two kids that aren't in...

  23. HESI Exit

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

    You're welcome. Something about me this time around gets me thinking differently and centered around the Nursing Process itself along with prioritizing care for patients. Last time, I read too much...

  24. PRACTICE

    jtboy29 replied to Snees46's topic in Study Tips for Students's Share Tips

    That's actually a very good tip to give. Practicing Questions as many instructors would say gets you in the mind of thinking and being exposed to questions that can later be on an exam not exactly but...

  25. HESI Exit

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

    I'm in the same situation except for that I'm in an LVN program repeating the fourth term again because I failed the HESI exit to graduate with an 849. Yes, 849 strikes frustration in me till this...
