1. How fast did you find your first job?

   JustLynn2U replied to casnee's topic in New Nurse

   A week after graduation.

2. Graduating Soon...How Long To Test?

   JustLynn2U replied to jjrz1037's topic in LPN/LVN

   P.S. If it were me... I would initially test in the state you have a preference for, probably your home state, and then do what you need to to "port" your license with the other state... that way you are licensed in both states and if a better oppo...

3. Graduating Soon...How Long To Test?

   JustLynn2U replied to jjrz1037's topic in LPN/LVN

   I graduated December 8, 2007, got the paperwork in to the state board by Christmas and heard back from them the first week of January with my authorization to test. I signed up for the test online and could have taken the boards within two weeks. I...

4. I need some help from all LPN's

   JustLynn2U replied to dkp59's topic in LPN/LVN

   Before you do all of the leg work... call your state board of nursing or at least the director of your nursing school. I had a similar idea, called my state board and found out I could not legally do it.

5. Do you take any stimulants?

   JustLynn2U replied to PopeJane3rd's topic in General Nursing

   Ahhh stimulants... had my share over the years. In my early 30's I was an "ephedra junky" and ended up suffering wicked adrenal exhaustion. I went to a naturopathic doc who got me straighted out and off all stimulants completely... even coffee. I ...

6. Passed NCLEX but no license yet....

   JustLynn2U replied to BNT1's topic in LPN/LVN

   Not sure but if it makes you feel better, I know of a couple people who got nursing licenses with previous felony drug convictions. I'm not sure but I would have to think your state wouldn't have even let you sit for the NCLEX if they ultimately wo...

7. Is LPN school less stressful and easier than RN school?

   JustLynn2U replied to Ms. Nurse Assistant's topic in LPN-RN

   Forgot to say congrats on passing the boards Kev! Thats the only thing I don't miss... NCLEX anxiety.

8. Is LPN school less stressful and easier than RN school?

   JustLynn2U replied to Ms. Nurse Assistant's topic in LPN-RN

   Yes, I have a friend who went to school in Hawaii and it is the same way there... same school where you do LPN first and continue with RN if you choose. Personally, I think that is an awesome way to do it. I remember when I was first starting clini...

9. Is LPN school less stressful and easier than RN school?

   JustLynn2U replied to Ms. Nurse Assistant's topic in LPN-RN

   Ya Kev, they just started it a year ago. The existing ASRN program started it since so many LPNs were returning to school. You test out of NSG 101, 102, OB and peds and pass a series of practicums and then do a 2 semester LPN to RN program in a hyb...

10. Is LPN school less stressful and easier than RN school?

    JustLynn2U replied to Ms. Nurse Assistant's topic in LPN-RN

    People flunk out of LPN school too. It can't be because they are stupid, because LPN school has an entrance test identical to the RN school. In our particular school, the schooling itself wasn't easier, however we had much better faculty than the ...

11. Why is it so bad to be an LPN ????

    JustLynn2U replied to hair_tie's topic in LPN/LVN

    I graduated from what is probably the top LPN school in the state of PA. I graduated 5th out of 36 students with a GPA of 3.76. I took my boards three days ago. It shut off at 85. Saturday morning, I checked the Everification site for PA... and ...

12. New Student, First level

    JustLynn2U posted a topic in LPN/LVN Students

    I'm a new LPN student in my first level and I can honestly say that I absolutely love school! For the first time in my life, I like M-F better than the weekends. I've always wanted to be a nurse and now at 39 (better late than never), though I w...

13. Never understood nursing

    JustLynn2U replied to PACPhD's topic in General Nursing

    I seriously hope that isn't "normal". Does it happen? I'm sure. I've been on the family of the patient end of the stick and though I wasn't a nurse, I wasn't stupid. I understood they felt the were overworked, understaffed, etc. but some of it p...

14. Any PN students here?....

    JustLynn2U replied to wasted-enough-time's topic in LPN/LVN Students

    Hi everyone! I start LPN school in two weeks!!! I'm quitting my full time job of 14 years as an at home medical transcriptionist tomorrow! I planned to work part time up until about a week ago but decided to just quit and devote 100% of myself t...
