  1. CEUs

    TexasLVN91 posted a topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I tried finding another post about this, but I couldn't. Are the CEU courses offered by the major websites (nurse.com, for example) applicable for RNs and LVNs? I'm in Texas and need to complete my...

  2. HELP New grad job dilemma

    TexasLVN91 replied to TampaNursing's topic in General Nursing

    I would go with the first

  3. Policy and Procedures

    TexasLVN91 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I recently left a job, for various reasons, but mainly because each preceptor I was with had a 'different way' of doing things, in all aspects. It was pretty confusing, and when I mentioned that I...

  4. Policy and Procedures

    TexasLVN91 replied to TexasLVN91's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you all your for input! Just to clarify, I do know that nurses all do things differently, I was referring more to policy regarding protocol, for example, after a fall, all the paperwork and...

  5. Nonverbal patients

    TexasLVN91 replied to TexasLVN91's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you! That was very helpful. Since there are more than a few patients I work with that I have this issue with, I will definitely look into these

  6. Nonverbal patients

    TexasLVN91 posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hi all, I'm a new nurse training at a LTC facility and have a question about certain patients who are confused, obtunded or not alert and also have contractures. I always introduce myself and explain...

  7. Language barrier dilemna

    TexasLVN91 posted a topic in General Students

    I just finished my first semester of nursing school (Yay!) and there seems to only be one problem. I live close to the Texas-Mexico border, and even though I am not from here, my boyfriend is, so we...

  8. Language barrier dilemna

    TexasLVN91 replied to TexasLVN91's topic in General Students

    Thank you all so much. I just feel like the odd man out I guess, because nearly everyone here does speak spanish. My instructors emphasize therapeutic communication and establishing rapport...our...

  9. Drop some knowledge on me - What do you wish you would've known starting LPN school

    TexasLVN91 replied to TheNewNightingale�'s topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Based on my experience, I can tell you that every program is different so listen very carefully to the policies of your program, and listen to your instructors! They will have a method of teaching and...

  10. Am I going to hate nursing

    TexasLVN91 replied to AmberDray's topic in General Students

    I understand how people can misinterpret this, but I also understand you are just being honest, you are stressed by the program and on top of that your peers and the instructors that are supposed to...

  11. I must ace TEAS test first time

    TexasLVN91 replied to BlueBoxSearcher's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    You should definitely shoot for a 100%, but it is difficult. An 'A' is certainly possible if you utilize the right tools, such as the ATI manual, mometrix, and ATI practice tests along with going more...

  12. 72 on the teas; but am undaunted.

    TexasLVN91 replied to J.J 1's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    Definitely just take your time, and thoroughly go through each question. I couldn't find a ton of practice questions online for passages, but the 2 practice tests helped a ton, along with the manual!...

  13. Teas exam please help fellows

    TexasLVN91 replied to surgtechg's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    I think the key is taking the time to review all of the material and then condensing it while you learn until you can go over pretty much everything in your head. That way you know if you have it...

  14. I have taken the TEAS 4 times

    TexasLVN91 replied to ken8295's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    It sounds like you really need to review the material in full; mainly the science section because it is short but is so broad in its questions spanning multiple science courses. Go over your Anatomy...

  15. Aced my TEAS

    TexasLVN91 replied to TexasLVN91's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    Definitely focus on the manual. I think otherwise you'll be trying to review tons of topics that aren't even on the test. Anatomy should be priority since its a huge section, and the basics of Biology...

  16. Aced my TEAS

    TexasLVN91 posted a topic in TEAS Exam Help

    I am over the top excited that I got an 90.0% on my TEAS exam. Although this still might not guarantee a position for the nursing school I am applying to, I'm psyched. Section scores: Reading 88% Math...

  17. Aced my TEAS

    TexasLVN91 replied to TexasLVN91's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    The ATI manual and practice tests are great; all of the topics were definitely covered although some were more in depth in the science

  18. Preparing for TEAS

    TexasLVN91 replied to underthinice's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    A&P (I and II) are a huge part of the TEAS 6 science section. If you are not familiar with organ systems, the organs and how each of them function and relate to each other, that probably be...

  19. TEAS VI - failed :(

    TexasLVN91 replied to dreamnursing2's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    Although no 1 test is the same, for the science portion, it all comes down to how well you know the material (mostly A&P). All of the topics are definitely covered in the ATI manual, but you might...

  20. i already feel rejected

    TexasLVN91 replied to omgnursesrcool's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agree that the best you can do is increase GPA and strive for excellence on that entrance exam, because the reality is that every program is different, and you have no idea how prepared others are...

  21. New Nurse at 63 - Too Old?

    TexasLVN91 replied to aimee32907's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think that you should definitely go for it if it is what you're passionate about. The only thing I'll add (no disrespect of course) is that you make sure you're not only in decent shape but strong...
