   CaitRN2be posted a topic in Online Learning

   I would like to know- did you HONESTLY feel prepared to be an RN after graduation? I'm starting a 12 month program for my LPN in October and I'm thinking about Excelsior for the RN portion. I'd *like* to get my RN through the school I'm getting my LP...

4. LPN to RN, BSN, or MSN

   CaitRN2be replied to sun.shine's topic in General Nursing

   If you get your BSN you will be a registered nurse. You will take the NCLEX-RN after you graduate from your BSN program, just like all the others. You will just have had the advantage of getting your LPN 1st. So no, you will not be an LPN w/ a Bachel...

   CaitRN2be posted a topic in General Nursing

   Do most nursing schools require you to wear scrubs to class? That seems like a very strange concept to me and I can't imagine why it would be necessary- I ask because I searched for the school I'm looking into on Webshots to try and see some pics; th...

    Hey Tricia, The LPN program is $25,000. What you would need- the bridge program- is only $8,000. Boise doesn't have a special page- program info can't be found online, you have to call. I can't remember who I spoke to but, they will answer your quest...

    Hi Tricia, I hope we both end up going, how great would it be to have a carpool buddy? I've heard the stretch in between Boise and Mt. Home is terrible in the winter. We are going to live on base if we get offered the brand new housing. Have you seen...
