1. Failed again!!! :[

   Morphine replied to Jab08's topic in LPN/LVN Students

   You really want to know the trick? There are several key points that I used and passed the NCLEX with the minimum questions asked the first time I took it. Focus on this (these) points: #1) READ the QUESTION. Don't get fooled by the misleading ad...

2. LPN to BSN programs

   Morphine replied to tferdaise's topic in Arizona

   Hello,The LPN to BSN program takes about 2 years and 4 months. However, some of the pre-req's can be taken via community colleges or CLEP. Then it takes only 2 years. The cost is about $1000 per class for 19 classes. Call it a cool $20K.While it soun...

3. Landing a job

   Morphine replied to ~MICHELLE~'s topic in General Nursing

   WOW. Big difference between where you are and the Southwest. CNA's, LPN's and RN's do not even need to be good, but be qualified and have a warm body...bingo, your hired... . at pretty much any facility:uhoh3:. Eveyone has multiple openings and are...

4. high patient turnover on the floor!!!!!

   Morphine replied to mjbsn2006's topic in General Nursing

   "IT CAN'T BE THIS BAD EVERYWHERE!!!!" As a general rule, the load is very taxing and seems like it is impossible; at first. I found that it takes 3 months to get a grip and a full year to adapt. It may never be nice, but it will be even easier with ...

5. How long did it take for you to get your RN?...

   Morphine replied to Butterfly23's topic in General Nursing

   As far as time it took. I went to a school that required no pre-req's and it took about 1 year for my LPN. I needed to get all the pre-req's done before I could move on. Starting with Algebra I, then Algebra II......The same with sciences. I had to ...

6. How long did it take for you to get your RN?...

   Morphine replied to Butterfly23's topic in General Nursing

   Do RN's look down on LPN's in the Hospital? Are you kidding me? Do you know what LPN stands for in a Hospital? El Pee-On ! In a Nursing home, you get a little more respect. There, it stands for "Low Paid Nurse". Just Kidding ! From someone who wor...

7. This makes me SOOOOOOO mad!!!!!!!!

   Morphine replied to cajjj's topic in General Nursing

   I'm not too worried about the influx of "nurses from overseas". Many of them are not qualified, or able to work in the U.S. In Arizona, a fairly large number of Phillipino nurses attempted to come over to work. The Az State Board of Nursing only al...

   Goog Morning Vietnam!!!! Only kidding :-) (but I love the movie!). My name is Ernie. I am a 43 y/o LPN with 3 1/3 years under his belt. A father of a 3 y/o boy and a 4 y/o girl. (I started late) I worked in a SNF for my first 3 years as a nurse (a ...

9. UOP, CO~LPN to BSN

   Morphine replied to erniebobernie's topic in LPN-RN

   When I spoke to the UOP, they have told me repeatedly that it would be a 2 year program and cost roughly $22,000. I do have all the pre-req's out of the way, so maybe it is less for me. I really don't see the need for a BSN. But it will take me abo...

    Morphine posted a topic in LPN-RN

    I would really like to hear from someone who is actually taking classes through the UOP LPN/RN program. :welcome: I have read a few comments, but some sound like SPAM. :angryfire What I would like to know is how many papers do you write a week? Do ...

11. Hesi Power...

    Morphine replied to punkstar's topic in General Students

    I do not know why everyone says there is no "Luck" when taking the HESI test. The first time I took it, I scored an 82% CR. I then studied (basically) the same material as I had before and was prepairing to study some new material when I had a fami...
