   CapeLPN replied to lpnma's topic in Massachusetts

   Just got off the phone with Admissions again - the next day LPN to RN program starts this fall, and the next evening one starts in FAll of 2012! One is starting this month but I'm too late to apply (and don't have my pre-reqs done anyway). I signe...

   CapeLPN replied to lpnma's topic in Massachusetts

   I just found this post as well - I"m interested in the evening LPN to RN program. I have a call into a woman in admissions now but haven't heard back yet. Ericad85 - I think your questions about A&P should be directed to admissions. You'll hav...

3. Are LVNs having hard time finding jobs?

   CapeLPN replied to bectex's topic in LPN/LVN

   I live in MA - and had a hard time finding a job not in a long-term care facility. I knew it would be a challenge though, b/c hospitals here are not hiring LPNs anymore (ones that have been there a long time are 'grand-fathered' in), but some of the...

4. What LPN cert. program can i get into now?

   CapeLPN replied to oneclipse's topic in LPN/LVN

   Hi - just seeing this thread now and wondering which route you ended up going? I was in the same boat last year and decided to do a 10-month LPN program with Upper Cape Tech out of Bourne, instead of spending the time taking the pre-reqs I needed to ...

5. Lack Of Professionalism

   CapeLPN replied to annvnd80's topic in LPN/LVN

   Oooh, that's a tough one... it doesn't sound like your complaints would do any good anyway... I'm still a new grad and don't remember all of the guidelines for lodging complaints (although I'm sure it's in my piles of papers from school)... If I w...

   CapeLPN replied to SPNbabe08's topic in Massachusetts

   CapeLPN replied to dbledutchs's topic in LPN/LVN

   Hi - I know I'm chiming in a bit late - but I worked as an ophthalmic assistant for a year before I started my LPN program (took NClex and passed at the end of July, then went on vaca for a bit and am now in the process of looking for a job). I may ...

9. Any LPN's with Bachelors in health care administration?

   CapeLPN replied to kgard7777's topic in LPN/LVN

   This is kind of a side-bar to those that already have a bachelors: I just graduated from my PN program and have my BA in Psych. Instead of going on for one more year for the LPN to RN program I'm going to apply to join a two year Master's Entry pr...

12. Graduating in June '08 - should I start looking for jobs now?

    CapeLPN replied to CapeLPN's topic in LPN/LVN

    Thanks Pagandeva, Because I already have a Bachelors I could go on to get my NP in a "master's-entry program". They require more pre-reqs than RN, but would take 2 years instead of the 1-yr LPN to RN transition - there are several programs in Boston....

    Hi everyone, I'm graduating from my LPN program this June and was just curious if I should start looking for work now? Also, does anyone have any advice as to the best places I should look --- since I already have a BA in Psych I'm thinking about go...

15. What is the the name of the LPN Entrance Exam Test

    CapeLPN replied to Shillelagh's topic in LPN/LVN Students

    I like it, the first semester courses were A&P, Fundamentals, Nutrition, Growth and Development, and Vocational Trends. I got 3 A's and two B+'s, but it's a lot of work! Now we're doing Med/Surg combined with pharmacology (which is nice, we lea...
