   Hi! I had applied for the LPN class in Martinsburg but unfortunately did not pass it (math did me in), so now I'm planning on working until I can get the chance to apply again. Right now I have applied for a couple of positions at the Arc of Washin...

   TinaCMT posted a topic in West Virginia

   Hi! I just finished taking my NET last night and I hope to pass and then get through the interview process, although I'm not expecting to (had a lot of trouble with math). I'm currently a medical transcriptionist/editor and I'm ready to move on, whet...

   TinaCMT replied to TinaCMT's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I've been going over the LPN review book but a lot of it just seems really really boring and hard. I'm a better learner when it's from a live person and hands on. I've been medical transcribing for four years and have been editing for almost a year ...

   TinaCMT replied to TinaCMT's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Thank you both for the replies! Carolinapooh, you actually brought tears to my eyes! Lol. Thank you so much for the vote of confidence!! The part that scares me the most is the math. That was my lowest score on my GED. I got a 420 and I had t...

   Hi! My LPN pre-admission test is next Thursday and I'm really worried about it. In January I got the results of my GED test and I passed with a 2490. A 2500 would have made me eligible for scholarships, but oh well. Here is my worry..... All throu...

6. Drug addicted nurses

   TinaCMT replied to ske0124's topic in Recovery

   I don't understand how they would get away with this anyways because don't all nurses get pop drug tested all the time?? BTW, I'm hoping to go to LPN school next year so I try to come here once in a while and just read up on things. My friend is in...

7. Grants: To anyone who has ever applied for a grant

   TinaCMT replied to TinaCMT's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I've never gotten a loan before or even been pulled over for a ticket, let alone convicted of a crime lol. So, I guess I would qualify. If I qualify for the full grant, would I still be able to apply for the Stafford loan? I know that the full gra...

8. Grants: To anyone who has ever applied for a grant

   TinaCMT replied to TinaCMT's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I currently work from home for a medical transcription program and I know they would not help me with any LPN program because they know they will lose me as an MT. I just got off the phone with the education department from a local hospital and she ...

9. Grants: To anyone who has ever applied for a grant

   TinaCMT posted a topic in Pre-Nursing

   I am currently trying to get as much info as I can about grants and loans. I'm pretty sure that I will not be able to get a loan due to credit problems and not having a co-signer. I will be applying for the Fafsa grant in Jan. so that I can hopeful...

10. Living expenses?

    TinaCMT replied to wannabe2007's topic in LPN/LVN

    Hi! I'm also hoping to go to LPN school in July and I have all these questions in my mind also. I'm hoping to get a Fafsa grant but I'm also hoping to get a student loan or something to get me through the year. The program is 12 months long and I n...

11. Advice on getting a head start?

    TinaCMT replied to TinaCMT's topic in LPN/LVN

    Oh no, I won't be buying anything. Freecycle.com is a yahoo message group where you can choose your area and people on the board post stuff they want to give away and you can also ask for something that someone might want to give away, so I'm hoping...

    Hi! My name is Tina and I just found this great forum this morning. I am currently working at home as a Medical Transcriptionist. I recently got promoted and am now editing voice recognition dictations, which essentially just means that the compute...
