2. Pregnant and nursing school

   nimopiba replied to Jennysweet163's topic in General Nursing

   Although I do not have experience with your specific school I did go through my LPN program pregnant. They took attendance by the hour and you were only allowed to miss a very limited number of hours before being booted out of the program so it was v...

4. Goodwin College

   I also received a dean's list letter which I had already decided was my rejection letter. So I let it sit around for a week but I had to laugh when I finally opened it.

6. Ready to Apply CT Community Colleges- Nursing Program 2012

   nimopiba replied to CJ223's topic in Connecticut

   I know what you mean. I feel like my life is on hold until I know whether I got in or not. I feel like I can't make plans until I find out if I will be in school or not. I am trying not to become obsessed with knowing but at this point I don't think ...

7. I dont know if I'm cut out for this.

   nimopiba replied to TheLiberation's topic in LPN/LVN

   I have to say that, yes, feeling inadequate and nervous are all parts of being a new nurse in any job no matter how long you have been a nurse. With that being said, if you didn't have a clue about what it takes to be a nurse then you wouldn't have g...

   Sorry I'm late but I brought a bucket for all the tears! :) Since misery loves company I will tell you that I am pretty much in the same boat. On a happier note I haave had the same "lost the job to a more experienced nurse" thing happen and they cal...

   nimopiba replied to CJ223's topic in Connecticut

   OK I will give you all a laugh at my expense. I opened an email on my phone from Gateway about half hour ago which read: "Sorry, the link was not working in your “ACCEPTANCE” email. I am attaching the document". So I practically fell down the stairs ...

    I transferred in all of my credits from Goodwin and Gateway accepted them all. I submitted my application the Friday before the deadline and all of my prereqs were listed as "met" by the 3rd week of February. I hadn't planned on applying for this fal...

11. Is The Co$t Worth It?

    nimopiba replied to Etana85's topic in Connecticut

    I think you should reconsider enrolling. I was in the program when it was New England Tech. It costed about 16,000 which included all materials. The program was only 1 yr at the time (still expensive but much shorter). Although they make sure you are...

12. Whites or Colored scrubs?

    nimopiba replied to UM Review RN's topic in General Nursing

    When I worked on a hospital unit I almost never wore white. Unless you never touch a patient there is a big chance that you are going to get something on you and any stain on white just jumps out and says "Hi look at me! Can you see me? Can you see m...

    nimopiba replied to MelRN13's topic in General Nursing

    I have 3 tattoos so far. one on each upper arm and one on my lower back. All completely covered, even with short sleeves. Most people (professionally) don't even know I have them. I had my tongue pierced but eventually removed it because I thought it...

    I'm HERE! Just found this site today. How exciting! I used to work in a very reputable Rehab Hospital in CT. I liked the job although it was exhausting but I hated the You're an LPN with yrs of experience and I'm an RN fresh out of school but I know ...

15. For those who went from LPN to RN

    nimopiba replied to L&D_2b's topic in LPN/LVN

    I went to school for my LPN with the intentions of working and going back to school for my RN. I think this is a popular option for moms. But if you will be going for 2 years anyway I would just say go for your RN. When I was in the LPN program it wa...
