LOL loving these responses. thank you!!!

My school "offers" the ATI live review in 2 weeks. it's a $275 fee which is steep considering our NCLEX registration fee is due around the same time. I didn't even realize it was a choice not to take it until recently, but was determined to find a wa...

that's really helpful! thank you!

So I'm 2 weeks out from the end of school. Last day is January 11th, and graduation is January 25th. (YES!!!!) How prepared should I feel for an emergency? I'm a good student and feel like I understand the concepts really well. I've also worked as a ...

Congratulations! I am in an LPN program in the outskirts of Worcester. Have heard very good things from people who went to MCPHS. I know it's expensive but it's supposed to be a great program. Worcester is very student heavy- between Clark University...

I almost didn't post on here because I feel so incredibly ashamed, but I feel like it might be good to talk it out. I'm in a PN program and we're in our last term. My first term I did one med pass. My second term was supposed to be med pass heavy bu...

I can't tell you how much better you have all made me feel. thank you thank you thank you. I go back to my first real night of clinicals tonight and i'm so nervous about it. We had class last night and I got my first 78 on an exam in the program... ...

thanks guys RainMom- I know, i was thinking that afterward. On one hand I am grateful for her having the "faith" in me not to be a second set of eyes for the insulin draw, but on the other hand with a med like that it does make sense. This facility ...

so i've been fat for pretty much my whole life. I've also had jobs my whole life that require running around and keeping up. I worked with kids for many years and then I went to school to be a Medical Assistant about 10 years ago and have worked in a...

Thanks so much for all the healthy eating advice! All great tips, I really appreciate it. I guess what I'm really looking for though is how to emotionally get through feeling this way. All the best eating and activity in the world won't make a diffe...

I'm so sorry this happened. you made a mistake and you're owning it. i also see how things like this could happen... especially as someone else said when youre in that focused state. Nursing school is no joke and when we make mistakes they are big de...

I'm in my second term of clinicals as an LPN student. We are based at subacute right now. Last night we had the opportunity to watch a midline get placed by an IV access nurse. I will start by saying that almost nothing makes me squeamish. I've been...

Hey all, So i'm in an LPN program in the evenings. I'm in my early 30's. I work full time and the program is accelerated so it certainly feels like full time too! It's 3 nights a week from 3:50-10:10 and one weekend clinical a month (8 hours both da...

I am 34 and in school. My class is an evening program and ages range from 18 to 60. 60! you're never too old. Also, for what it's worth, my husband also struggled with undiagnosed ADD his whole life. He dropped out of college when we met when we wer...

Hi all! So I started nursing school 3.5 weeks ago. It's an evening LPN program, 3 nights a week from 3:50-10:10, and one weekened clinical shift a month starting in October. I work full time from 8:00-3:00 on the nights I have school, and then Monda...

Thanks guys. I actually just bought some melatonin too, i'm thinking if i take it right when i get home it might help me regulate everything and drift off easier. I'm hoping eventually i'll be more exhausted than keyed up soon and be able to pass out...

Hi all! I'm starting LPN school two weeks from today, and I am trying to set up our office (aka our spare bedroom) Aside from books/notebooks/flashcards/pencils/pens/highlighters what supplies do you swear by? I took a course last night that the sch...

thanks! good point. I should probably try to find a way to make it cozier... though not so cozy that i get sleepy

HI everyone! This is my first post so bear with me :) I have been an MA for years who has thought about going back to school for nursing FOREVER. I always talked myself out of it... convinced myself it was too much work and I couldn't do it. I fina...

haha I'm not, usually... but in this case i could definitely make an exception
