I don't think VCU has an LPN-RN program. They start at BSN. I would call Susan Lipp (Admissions Director @ VCU SON) and ask her if this is your plan. She is straight forward in most things. IMHO (however ignorant it may be), with so many RN and BS...
I LOVE compression socks (knee-high)!! I use the mid "strength" compression...my legs/feet feel SOOOOOOOO much better when I wear them. I have never tried the full length ones, but nurses that I work with swear by them. Probably the best way to fi...

I had a med school prof for Physiology and it was HARD. But, I LOVED it. I have a fairly easy prof for Micro and it is only difficult because it bores the heck out of me. (I am not very motivated this semester.) I will end up getting the same gra...
This brings up another question (not meaning to hijack the thread). How does the BON look at nurses/nursing students who have been psych inpatients? I imagine that it would raise a red flag, but does it prohibit getting/keeping your license?

I have always worn my seatbelt. My husband hasn't always worn his and I nagged him. It paid off significantly a couple of years ago when we were in a pretty bad accident...through a light pole and into a telephone pole. The car was totaled and the...
Tech..$10.13/hr + diff. Not thrilled with it, but love the people I work with. Not to mention, I am headed to nursing school so it won't be like this forever.
I had the opposite done...breast reduction. But, still the same part of the body. From what I understand a reduction is far more invasive than augmentation (I have NEVER considered augmentation. :chuckle... unfortunately, I got more than my share)...

I hand delivered mine on Dec. 1 and the poor woman in the admissions office was a bit swamped with applications. Apparently, that stack had just come in. I know people heard before Feb of last year, but 3 days after the deadline is a little unreali...
I am a PCT/EMT/nursing student who is allergic to latex. My co-workers have been nothing but helpful. I don't run into a lot of problems though. Most supplies are now made w/o latex and we have nitrile gloves everywhere. However, I have found tha...
