  1. Any LVN program on line at San Jose, CA

    jtboy29 replied to gretp0's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Pretty much. I understand the passion for one to want to get into an LVN Program but there is no shortcut or easy path. This one classmate of mine had kids and married and had to run a household but...

  2. 1st Clinical Warning

    jtboy29 replied to JinxDeFelix's topic in General Students

    That's how it was during the 2nd and 4th terms of my LVN program. We looked up information the day before and got to meet our assigned patient then we head back to campus and work on our clinical...

  3. Taking NCLEX PN TOMORROW- words of encouragement??

    jtboy29 replied to soon_to_be's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Good luck. Congrats you've gotten to this point and all that studying and reviewing will pay off. Trust yourself, relax, breathe, and do the very best you can. Don't look back as you go on to the next...

  4. Any LVN program on line at San Jose, CA

    jtboy29 replied to gretp0's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    You can't just study for the NCLEX exam without going to the classes. the Board of Vocational Nursing and Psychiatric Technicians require you to have clinical hours to meet requirements for a...

  5. Is 35 too old to start from Scratch?

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

    People are so quick to call someone in their late 20s old. I'm 31 and I am just now figuring what I want to do with my life after years of taking classes with no direction. Don't worry about what...

  6. 1st Clinical Warning

    jtboy29 replied to JinxDeFelix's topic in General Students

    Learn from your mistake and next time let your clinical instructor by email, phone or text to let them know that you are unable to get patient information from the hospital. Everyone makes mistakes...

  7. Anxiety during clinicals - advice?

    jtboy29 replied to ilovebirds's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    When I first started clinicals I was nervous and anxious that I would do something to hurt the patient or put myself in danger of doing something wrong. For example, when I gave my first injection it...

  8. Help! Super stressed

    jtboy29 replied to Ashlleeyy_25's topic in California Nursing

    I suggest you pick one or the other. Pursuing both would a tough task but if you can get it done. That's good. However, like dianah says it's two completely different areas. If you like caring for...

  9. Make yourself THINK like a nurse

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

    The ultimate tip there is. Students like myself have trouble thinking like a Nurse. I like how it is emphasized

  10. Making the Most of Textbooks

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

    Thanks for that tip as well. An instructor of mine early in the nursing program have mentioned the END of the Chapter summary for the Key

  11. Hopefully starting LPN Program in the Fall

    jtboy29 replied to Crystalita83's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    You're never too old to get an education for yourself. I'm 31 and will be 32 later this year and I'm just now getting somewhere in my life. Education does not have an age to it and you should have to...

  12. Male student enters OB room. What do you think?

    jtboy29 replied to truckinusa's topic in Male Nursing Students

    That's kind odd that you got kicked out of your OB class just for delivering a food tray. You did knock so maybe the patient took you as being disrespectful. You're a nursing student and I've been...

  13. Nursing 1 Hesi exam!

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

    I would suggest practice questions from the HESI Review book, look over your course notes, and review test taking strategies. The thing with questions on the HESI exam do put in words to confuse you...

  14. HESI Every SINGLE Semester?

    jtboy29 replied to EarthhAngel2013's topic in HESI Entrance, Exit Exam

    I've read the tips below on how to study and they are all accurate. Practice Questions is the best thing along with reading the rationales. Because every question you will see on the HESI could...

  15. Failed by my Exit HESI by one point

    jtboy29 posted a topic in HESI Entrance, Exit Exam

    So last Tuesday I had my first attempt at taking the Exit HESI in which I got a 657 and I took it again the following Thursday and I feel I was prepared for it however; when my instructor said "I have...

  16. Failed by my Exit HESI by one point

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

    Oh okay. I'll remain open on what the instructor would like me to do because I even expect myself to give it just as much effort as I did the first time around. My instructor from the first time has...

  17. Failed by my Exit HESI by one point

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

    Update: I'm repeating the term effective December 13th and that's 13 weeks (three months). I'm very fortunate that they didn't just dismiss me completely and deemed me eligible to repeat the term. I'm...

  18. BOMBED my Pediatrics HESI exam

    jtboy29 replied to Raquel.Perez's topic in General Students

    Pediatrics is a difficult one next to Med Surg and Maternity. When you review the content in the green HESI book do you look at the HESI hints? Do you understand the milestones relating to each age...

  19. LVN HESI EXIT EXAM

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

    The HESI PN review book is good for content review and the HESI Hints are important however; in terms of seeing similar questions that you see in practice questions on the exit exam is real slim. To...

  20. Exit LPN Hesi Exam

    jtboy29 replied to Pplschamp12's topic in HESI Entrance, Exit Exam

    Read-up on test taking strategies, continue practicing questions and read the rationales and understand them why we do a particular action as a nurse. Not a doctor or anything else. Think like a Nurse...

  21. Any advice/study tips for the HESI Med-Surg?

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

    To prepare I'd suggest that you review both with the HESI book and the Saunders book. Doing questions with both will help you with the type of questions that will be on the Med-Surg HESI. Learning how...

  22. HESI Fundamentals Exam HELP!!

    jtboy29 replied to emilyp05's topic in HESI Entrance, Exit Exam

    I was shocked too when the first time I took my Fundamentals HESI at the end of the first term I got a 1067 and during term 4 I got a 1004. Doing questions and test taking strategies help a lot that's...

  23. Seeking answers

    jtboy29 replied to Dannygirl34253's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Yes, it really depends on the school. I know when I was seeking admission into an LVN program I had done the Wonderlic test as the basic admissions test and then when I got into the program they had...

  24. Do you find clinical to be an asset to your education?

    jtboy29 replied to Gringa.do.Recife's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I'd expect your instructor to give you more a direct list of what to do in terms of being with the resident. The fundamental skills such as (hygiene, vitals, ambulation) should honestly be done. It...

  25. Is the NCLEX "easy"?

    jtboy29 replied to kristibelle11's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Thank you kristibelle. I'm taking my Exit HESI exam I think in the end of November or December. I'm nervous but excited at the same time. Nursing is definitely not for the faint of heart because...
