  2. How Long is/was Your First Semester Hours?

    Ilargia99 replied to Shookclays's topic in General Students

    It's been pure fundamentals (the basics) with an emphasis on geriatrics for us. So each we get the taught the basics and concepts of whatever the topic may be, such as physical assessment, cognitive...

  3. How Long is/was Your First Semester Hours?

    Ilargia99 replied to Shookclays's topic in General Students

    I'm about to finish my first semester and our schedule has been pretty doable for the most part. The first 6 weeks were "boot camp" to learn the basics, which meant lots of tests and skills checkoffs...

  4. Happy Dance-LPN Program

    Ilargia99 replied to JackieHouse's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Sounds like you're all set! I've never taken physics so I have no basis for comparison but that sounds just awful. When do you start your

  5. Happy Dance-LPN Program

    Ilargia99 replied to JackieHouse's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    That's great! Congrats! I'm 10 weeks into my 18 month long LVN program and I love it. The first 7 weeks ("bootcamp") were VERY busy as we were getting ready for clinicals, which meant tons of tests...

  6. I am not good at math but I would love to be a nurse

    Ilargia99 replied to Aniavela's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Honestly, the math in nursing school is based on very simple formulas and not hard at all. In my program we have to take a dosage calculations test every semester and pass with 100%. I'm in my first...

    Ilargia99 posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Anyone else out there who will be applying to SRJC's LVN program for the fall 2016 cohort? I haven't met or talked to anyone yet and it would be nice to finally be able to!

    Ilargia99 replied to Ilargia99's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Big congrats! And yes, after you set up your castle branch account, you will be able to download the drug test paper 24 hours later. It's under the drug test drop-down on your "to do" list. I went to...

    Ilargia99 replied to Ilargia99's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think I only have one pair of jeans and they don't even fit me anymore, haha. I'm more of a leggings girl :) I'll figure something out. See you

  10. Stanford Rape

    Ilargia99 replied to brandy1017's topic in General Nursing

    I've been quietly following this thread for days now but I really feel like I need to speak up due to some of these awful, victim-blaming comments. First of all, sex crimes are NEVER the victim's...

  12. SRJC Fall 2016 LVN program

    Ilargia99 replied to Ilargia99's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    This might sound dumb but I have no idea what to wear to the orientation. Do you think some nice black pants and a simple top would be ok? I'm fashionably challenged and I don't want to look...

  15. What is the drug of choice in your area?

    Ilargia99 replied to Momma1RN's topic in Emergency

    Heroin, meth, and opioids are a big problem here. I live in the north Bay Area of California. My family lives in the high desert of WA and there's a lot of meth, opioids, and spice in that

    Ilargia99 replied to Ilargia99's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Haha, I've been so worried that something was wrong with my/her email communication since I haven't heard anything else. Glad it's not just me, which means she probably hasn't sent anything else out...

  24. California student: is a $30k LPN "worth it"

    Ilargia99 replied to Charmander1988's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Definitely go to a community college instead. The LPN/LVN programs range in price from 3-9k, which is a MUCH better deal than $30k. Community colleges are typically more respected than for-profit...

  25. The worst job you had before becoming a Nurse?

    Ilargia99 replied to Want2BeeRN's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not a nurse yet (I start my program this fall), but the worst job I've ever had is a toss up between McDonald's and Walmart. Both paces were so awful that I can't decide which was worse. I grew up...
