Lpn to Rn lets stay motived!!

Dang!!!!! I need a plan! LOL, you go girl!

i"m glad. i heard you could do penn foster info lit class for 90 dollars instead of 200-300 thru excelsior. so im going to find out more by calling penn foster.

Hey, just an FYI for info lit...we don't have to take it thru EC, we can do Penn Foster which costs like $90...takes a couple hours or so. Just email your EC advisor and tell them that's what you want to do and they'll email you back the okay. Then you call PF and they get you registered. When you finish, just call them back and they forward transcripts to you and to EC...I haven't done it yet, but one of these days, when I got nothing better to do I will! That's a savings of what, about $200? I love it!

I did it online via Excelsior.

Take some motivation in this: I'm now an RN, in LTC, doing pretty much exactly what I did as an LPN, for $5.50 more an hour.



And I get a lot more respect. It's really amazing. Not necessarily correct - I work with some excellent LPNSs - but I like it.

I"m so excited to be an Rn....I like being an lpn but you do get more respect and more money as an Rn. and money is a great motivater...hehe...Sue how long did it take you to take the 7 nurse classes?
