    LPNtoRNin2016OH replied to Quiet Sunshine's topic in General Students

    I also have a SP3. Definitely get whatever protection plan you can, just had mine replaced for free because the screen cracked when it fell behind my printer. I finally found some heavy duty cases on...

    LPNtoRNin2016OH replied to dhill93's topic in General Students

    I'm married with three kids as well...it isn't easy in any situation you're in. I am lucky that my husband knows this is a temporary situation and that I'm not doing this only for me but for them as...

    In my feelings

    LPNtoRNin2016OH replied to Shanella25's topic in General Students

    I was also originally due to graduate this year (hence the screen name) but had to push it off to next year for various reasons. I am a bit disappointed but it's worked out a bit better for me this...

    Nursing school resume

    LPNtoRNin2016OH replied to RN1.618's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Do most nursing schools require a job history? Just curious, have never heard of this before! I recently applied to my LPN to RN program, we were asked how many years of experience we have, but never...

    LPNtoRNin2016OH replied to mod90atv's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am fluent in sign language btw, grandparents are deaf, I rarely run into many people I have to sign for and I've been in healthcare since 2008. If you do take a language, go with

    one semester with all pre reqs complete

    LPNtoRNin2016OH replied to mod90atv's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I pretty much had two semesters to fill this last school year because I pushed clinical off for an extra year. I took all the non nursing co-requisites required so I would only have nursing classes to...

    Anatomy with Chemistry

    LPNtoRNin2016OH replied to taypas's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have three kids under 8 myself and found accelerated summer science courses to be too much and I am an A student. I also worked full time at that point but I ended up withdrawing from the summer AP2...

    Who's at fault here?

    LPNtoRNin2016OH replied to PerkyNurse55's topic in General Students

    It was 75% who failed I would be thinking its the school but 25% is a realistic number of students who perhaps are not grasping the critical thinking concepts. The last rotation of my program I am...

    Yep. I have no friends in school.

    LPNtoRNin2016OH replied to rheath22's topic in General Students

    [COLOR=#000000]Honestly, staying under the radar is the best bet in nursingschool. I have two fellow students I am tight with, we will study together, butI plan to keep my circle small. I will be nice...

    Obese Nurses

    LPNtoRNin2016OH replied to Goldentreasure's topic in Health, Stress Management

    I am sure BMI requirements for nursing jobs is not that far off. I quit smoking due to the no nicotine policies, which IS the best thing for me, but I worry how far this will go. My BMI is 21 but I...

    Did community college prepare you for nursing school?

    LPNtoRNin2016OH replied to Rockapella's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am a bit confused by your post because my nursing program is at the college I attend. Maybe your thinking of those who have a non healthcare related bachelors degree and then return to nursing...

    So I kind of messed up

    LPNtoRNin2016OH replied to oopsmybad's topic in General Nursing

    I used to administer drug screens and pull results -- the MRO (doctor reviewing drug results) will 100% check the prescription dates to see if you were prescribed this during the time of the drug...

    Any prereqs you wish you would have taken together?

    LPNtoRNin2016OH replied to RaggedyAm's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Micro and AP2. Many times we would overlap info in lecture. Those are the only two science classes I would have taken

    Anyone else almost done with pre-reqs FOREVER?!

    LPNtoRNin2016OH posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    After three long years of all my associate pre-reqs, co-reqs, and bachelor pre-reqs, I am one week away from never taking another non nursing class AGAIN! I was supposed to start my nursing classes...

    Volunteering to get into a nursing school?

    LPNtoRNin2016OH replied to roseUP19's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You could get your STNA and work as a tech at a hospital. It will be more useful to you than volunteering

    Feeling discouraged about nursing school (baby on the way)

    LPNtoRNin2016OH replied to Nurse2BeCam's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I had a 4 year of and 2 year old when I started pre-reqs for my bridge program. I had my third, who is now 16 months, the week of finals. I had unexpected complications, I was 27 when I had him, but I...

    What should I know or learn before I take A&P1?

    LPNtoRNin2016OH replied to Starrynight1121's topic in General Students

    You could email your professor to see if they would send you a list of the anatomy you will have to learn. That way you can at least be familiar with all of it which would make the physiology easier....

    Should I quit my job at the hospital or keep being a crappy employee?

    LPNtoRNin2016OH replied to Samantha93's topic in General Students

    I have the same issues as you. Except in an LPN working PRN in LTC while I finish school. I don't plan on staying there after my RN but for me its essential to keep my skills up while in school to be...

    I'm failing anatomy!

    LPNtoRNin2016OH replied to wannabenurse88's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Quizlet is amazing!! I scored an A on every lab because of those things. I took pictures of my school's anatomy models and uploaded them to Quizlet for my flash cards. For physiology, I'm the...

    Second guessing my career

    LPNtoRNin2016OH replied to meandse's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    LTC and home care are not your only options. I am in occ health, its great hours/pay, and not hard to find a job once you have experience in it. Google all the jobs for LPNs in your area, you may be...

    You Just Weren't the Right Fit

    LPNtoRNin2016OH replied to kaylas13's topic in General Nursing

    I agree that you may not have wanted to end up working there anyways if they only have you one day and showed you the door. I would at least reflect on what you could have done different just for your...

    LPN or Ultrasound tech?

    LPNtoRNin2016OH replied to apreetyddhh's topic in Nursing Career

    Look at the need for each profession in your state. The state I live in, sonographers have a harder time finding jobs than LPNs just because its a very competitive
