While I hear you and will consider making changes, is it not unethical being so anonymous online? Shouldn't we fight for more transparency and have policies in place that protect people from being unfairly judged against? It all just seems a bit disi...

I won't give up! lol It's just not in my nature- I'm sure that's pretty evident though. :)

You seem to feel very personally attacked by me, although I don't really understand why. I apologize if anything I said sounded patronizing, but you seem to do it well yourself. Everything I said was said dead-pan. I did think it was quite an odd que...

What an odd question. I've never been in a texting-while-driving car accident, but I still know the rights and wrongs about it. PS- I wouldn't consider myself preaching, just voicing my opinion. Like you and everyone else.

Hi! I'm in an LPN program, and many of the students did not do as well as they'd hoped on their first exam either- but I did pretty well, so I'll tell you what I did to prepare! I love using my version of a concept map (it's really just a two-column ...

It sounds like you're speaking more out of a negative personal experience with a student than as a whole concept? If you had nursing students who followed you into the latrine (which is a private area and sounds a bit like no privacy was given) then ...

The "professionalism" I'm referring to spans across ALL professional jobs, so please don't get on a high horse and think that nurses are the only "profession" I'm referring to. Also, saturating your reply with sarcasm and then trying to make a point ...

Wow, that 80% is cut-off is a little rough- my school fails you at 75% or less, so I know your pain! My initial suggestion would be to take a step back and look at the questions you missed and what type of questions they were. Select all that apply? ...

Thanks for letting me know- I had no idea! :)

***I am a student nurse, so this is coming from MY perspective given all of the feedback going on in previous comments.*** Here is the tl;dr version of how I think things should be: -Students should be responsible for completing tasks that they are a...

At our college, we are a part of the NFLPN (What is the NFLPN? All About the NFLPN) and that is strictly for LPNs and LPN students. Our dues are $25 per year and they offer scholarships, recognition for high GPAs (stoles and pins upon graduation), an...

I am speaking from a slightly different perspective, as all my books are digital (per my institution's policy), so sorry if some of this may not carry over. -I love flashcard apps like Study Blue and Quizlet. I mainly use them for definitions at the...

YAY! 2016 LPN Graduates represent!! I will be graduating in July of 2016 (I just started my program this August) and am already thinking about the future. So far I have thoroughly enjoyed the skills and information we have been learning, but I can't...

Okay, so here's the deal- I prefaced what I had to say by telling everyone that I usually DO NOT write such negative things, and I mean it. However, the only negative things I mentioned were in reference to the "for-profit"colleges like Everest and D...

Hey, I just started my LPN program in August. I completely understand! Here's the thing- your instructors WANT you to succeed. It is perfectly okay if you don't immediately rattle off all the points, they understand you're being given tons of informa...

I normally wouldn't post something negative, but I feel like this may help someone out in the future, so here goes. I would never, ever try to obtain any level of medical licensing from a "tv college" such as Everest. These types of colleges are noto...

Hi! I am currently in an LPN program in Alabama. I have completed all of my pre-requisites, save one- A&P II- and this is my schedule: -Monday: 8am to 5pm (Sim Lab day) -Tuesday: 9am to 12pm (Pharmacology) -Wednesday: 9am to 4pm, 1 hour lunch fro...

Hi! I would definitely recommend checking out allheart.com, as someone earlier suggested. I purchased my Littmann Classic II stethoscope and my BP cuff from them, as well as some other items, and their services are phenomenal. Many of my classmates a...
