  1. My Opinion on Simulation Lab

    Ilargia99 replied to missnursingstudent19's topic in General Students

    I wasn't a fan of sim lab. I'm not a good actress and felt so uncomfortable talking to a dummy or rubber body part. I'd have liked it without all the role-playing and ********** from others in the...

  2. Best brand of scrubs?

    Ilargia99 replied to murda's topic in General Students

    I really like Grey's Anatomy scrubs. I'm pretty petite and they're one of the few brands that don't make me look boxy or frumpy, plus they're super soft and comfy. I'm sure they have tall options

    No date yet as I'm still waiting for my ATT (California í ½í¸’). Do you have a date set? I keep hearing that Uworld is the way to go since the content and layout match the NCLEX. That's a big...

    Hey there, I'm about to start my last semester of an 18 month long program. I don't know how other programs work but in most you really hit the ground running. Things take off very fast and it's easy...

    Ilargia99 replied to osis's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Have you taken any pharm at all? My school offers pharm online and it is broken up into two different classes. The first class is pharm 255 (comprehensive) and the second is pharm 256.1 (advanced)....

  16. ATI testing for LPN students

    Ilargia99 replied to Kimberly.Durst's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    My program uses HESI instead of ATI. I'm not sure what the difference is between the two or how accurate they are. I did very well on fundamentals last semester (99th percentile as well) but I'm not...

    Ilargia99 replied to aspiringrn1987's topic in General Students

    75% is the minimum for my program. It's cumulative and includes exams, quizzes, and other assignments. Our dosage calculation test every semester must be passed with 100% and you get 3 tries....

    Ilargia99 replied to The0Walrus's topic in General Students

    I also just had my first exam of the second semester yesterday and got an 86, which is also my lowest score. I admit that it was my own fault that I didn't do better. I've been sick with illness after...

  20. Perplexed by med calculation

    Ilargia99 replied to tbird88's topic in General Students

    Your division is backwards. It should be 90 mg divided by 100 mg. You know, doc over stock. It would then be 0.9 of a tablet, which doesn't add up to 100 mg. Are there any steps that have been left...

    Ilargia99 replied to lizzieh's topic in General Students

    I don't know how other LVN programs work but mine has nearly the same amount of prereqs as the RN program and is only one semester shorter. We've been so busy that I can't imagine being in a program...

    Ilargia99 replied to perfectohno's topic in General Students

    Ilargia99 replied to tbnurse1's topic in General Students

    There's been some drama in my program as well but it's only been caused a couple of girls. Most of the others are friendly and easygoing, which is nice. Just stay focused on your schooling and don't...
