    Schizophrenia and nursing

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

    The best thing to do would be to call your state's board of nursing for the most accurate information.

    Has anyone messed up really bad in a clinical and still passed

    LPNtoRNin2016OH replied to mdiada's topic in General Students

    I would think if you just had and off day with a few harmless mistakes they wouldn't kick you out. Now if you are routinely attempting to give the wrong med or being complained about from patients,...

    Is a fall occurrence of "zero" possible?

    LPNtoRNin2016OH replied to nursidosis's topic in General Nursing

    We do not use alarms of any type at my facility -- I would say for a LTC/SNF of 50 residents, we usually only 1-2 falls/month, if

    A&P1 & A&P2 over the summer

    LPNtoRNin2016OH replied to msheather413's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I wouldn't. I also have three kids but I work as well, A+P 2 condensed was HELL. I have a 3.96 too so I'm not a slacker. I withdrew from the condensed version, took the normal class last semester,...

    Grades for admission

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

    I would ask your counselor at school, she should have some knowledge how one C among all A's could impact you. Are you doing associates or BSN? We have to take stats as part if our bridge program but...

    Is nursing school REALLY that hard?

    LPNtoRNin2016OH replied to Courtney M's topic in General Students

    I was already an LPN before entering my bridge so I knew it would be hard. But, I've been surprised, so far its 25% hard and 75% all time consuming. It's the marathon not the race sort of thing....

    Microbiology

    LPNtoRNin2016OH replied to km1427's topic in General Students

    No, its recommended and not required. I took A+P II and micro together, had no issues. I agree with PP, micro is a whole other subject, if anything I would have liked to take micro before A+P

    Should I work as a CNA before starting Nursing School?

    LPNtoRNin2016OH replied to eleah2's topic in General Students

    Yes, definitely! I have always felt working as an STNA for 6 months or more should be mandatory for any nursing program. You will be much more comfortable with basic care and can focus your attention...

    I didn't get into Nursing School!! Help!!

    LPNtoRNin2016OH replied to Jordan1927's topic in General Students

    Very true. I had to take all the pre-reqs for my bridge program nothing from LPN school transferred because it was a crappy for profit and now I'm at a university. Its not as common but there are some...

    I didn't get into Nursing School!! Help!!

    LPNtoRNin2016OH replied to Jordan1927's topic in General Students

    Relocate, raise your grades, or do LPN then RN. I'm currently awaiting acceptance to my bridge program, I'm not sure if ita my location or just that its a bridge program, but the pool of applicants is...

    LPNtoRNin2016OH replied to Nrsng_is_life's topic in General Students

    How old is everyone involved? I'm guessing quite young and I don't say that to insult you but most people I know, including myself, are do busy with school/family/jobs ain't no one got time for all...

    When to Get Pregnant

    LPNtoRNin2016OH replied to metamedicine's topic in General Nursing

    I had my third 15 months ago during pre-requisite classes. I had two normal, term deliveries. I figured I would deliver and be back in class within in a week because the first two times I was up and...

    Application fall 2016

    LPNtoRNin2016OH replied to Step424real's topic in General Students

    I don't think anyone can ever really tell you that you will get in. Depending on how competitive your program is and if it's GPA based entry you may be toeing the line with your 3.0. Have you tried...

    I'm scared

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

    I couldn't hang doing condensed summer classes for the sciences. I also have kids and work so that definitely added into it but you definitely need to be able to commit a few hours a day at least to...

    Anyone planning to start a family before Nursing School or has?

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

    Well first I think the important thing is to decide if you want to do nursing or house flipping. That would solve a lot of your question if you decided to go the house flipping route. I entered...

    TATTOOS!!

    LPNtoRNin2016OH replied to Jordan1927's topic in General Nursing

    I have half a sleeve and several on my forearms. I wear sleeves to anything to do with work, even if it's just a nurse meeting. I have never had an

    Fairly New LPN & need advice

    LPNtoRNin2016OH replied to Michael Lee's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I have two PRN jobs while finishing my bridge, it's worked great. I'm only committed to working two shifts/month at the SNF and my clinic job I decide when I work. Definitely go for PRN, you can pick...

    Resident's family wanted to discharge AMA at 10:00 PM Sunday night!

    LPNtoRNin2016OH replied to smartypants22's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I had a family do this the other day -- it was Saturday evening around 8 pm. I agreed with why they wanted to leave but I also encouraged them to wait till Sunday morning since the patient was stable....

    LTC's are a joke

    LPNtoRNin2016OH replied to baygrl11's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I find the standards of care to be the joke, not the actual profession. I also find the nurse to patient ratios a complete joke. I now only work PRN in LTC while I finish up my bridge program, and...

    Nursing: The Highly Skilled Customer Service Representative

    LPNtoRNin2016OH replied to gleanns's topic in General Nursing

    Amen!! Give us doable ratios, your scores will sky rocket. This post sounds like the out of touch administrators who think of useless policies that never do anything but put more pressure on the floor...

    I hate nursing school (and it is not because it is hard)

    LPNtoRNin2016OH replied to baleen's topic in General Students

    Uh I'm at a community college nursing program and we didn't learn a few meds and we had to know why a disease happens the way it does and not just how to nurse it. Its your school. Top schools can be...

    Anyone planning to start clinicals summer/fall 2016?!

    LPNtoRNin2016OH posted a topic in LPN to RN

    Anyone planning on starting their program summer/fall 2016? My program is a bit different, we do a one month class in the summer but it's essentially skills review and check off from what we are...

    Struggling with low GPA?

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

    I wanted to be a paramedic originally! But we had kids young, daycare was too expensive, and my husband works bizarre shifts so the crazy schedule wasn't doable. I would love to be a paramedic when my...

    New Grad LPN getting frustrated!!!

    LPNtoRNin2016OH replied to FutureRN-GA's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    $20/hour starting out for a new grad will be difficult for you to find. I live in the Midwest but the SOL isn't far off from Georgia and my first job as a new grad was $17.25 at a deplorable nursing...
