Review


Hello all,
Not sure if you remember me. I was shortly around a few months ago before having some major surgery and just able to come back now. I worked as an EMT here in Canada for 3 years when I was forced to stop to get a chronic hip injury fixed.

I have been looking at working as an LPN for quite some time. Had the great opportunity and blessing to do a shadow with a senior LPN here locally at the children's hospital. What a great blessing that was. Received great information and help from a truely amazing nurse. If it werent for him, I really don't know that I would have been able to keep my chin up all this time while recovering from surgery.

I am wanting to apply for my LPN as soon as I am able to walk, so probably wont apply until the end of next year. Having said that I have been researching online and trying to find material I can review on my own to be familiar with information I will be learning in school.
Having the background I have, I have a lot of A and P as well as pharmacology as I took multiple paramedic courses, along with the EMT material you need to know.

I found and read inside out some material I found on our provincial LNP web page. They were online review modules.I am aware that it from state to state or province to province there will be different information but is there a site where I can find modules? even general information that I can review online?

Thank you so much if you read all of this! You deserve a prize

Kelly

I'm not sure what type of licensure exam they use in Canada, but here an NCLEX book may be helpful.


It's been a really long time since I bought one! But Mosby, Saunders etc make them. I actually used mine a lot during LPN school to study out of prior to taking tests.

Also, if you go to Barnes & Noble or any other major book chain, they have a "Nursing/Health" section. You may want to check that out. Of course there always is the library too!

Hope this helps.
Erin
