1. $31,500...is that too much for a lpn program?

   MeowTimesTwo replied to trixiemunson's topic in LPN/LVN Students

   Wow, that is a LOT! Definitely look around before dropping that much money on a program. I'm in a 12 month hospital diploma program and my tuition is $10,000.

2. should I cut my hair?

   MeowTimesTwo replied to picurn10's topic in LPN/LVN Students

   I have really long (down to my lower back) hair. It really hasn't been a problem for me! During clinicals I twist it up into a bun. It works!

3. nails in school/work

   MeowTimesTwo replied to Mami.Nurse2B's topic in LPN/LVN Students

   Our school requires short nails and NO polish at all - not even clear. Yes, they check. It's a huge infection control policy in our hospital system. I have always had great nails, so this was a sacrifice for me, but I take comfort in the fact that...

4. What color are your school's scrubs?

   MeowTimesTwo replied to picurn10's topic in LPN/LVN Students

   We have white bottoms and royal blue tops. Not totally bad (I could do without the white bottoms), but what really irritates me is the STYLE we had to get. The pants are the "classic" (meaning HIGH) waist elastic band type. They are so uncomfortable ...

6. Frustrated & tired of Waiting

   MeowTimesTwo replied to MAmom81's topic in LPN/LVN Students

   I would be pulling my hair out too! I know someone who was notified the FRIDAY before NS started that she was to be there bright and early on Monday morning. Talk about a shock! Anything can happen.. hang in there!

8. 2009 Grads! Come 1 Come ALL!

   MeowTimesTwo replied to Hoping2beRN's topic in LPN/LVN Students

   The LPN program is 12 months. Then after I work as an LPN for 6 months I can get into their bridge... approx. 10 more months of school and I'll (hopefully!) graduate and be an RN! It's a cool deal. Yeah, I'm signing my life away - so to speak - to on...

   Congrats!

10. 2009 Grads! Come 1 Come ALL!

    MeowTimesTwo replied to Hoping2beRN's topic in LPN/LVN Students

    I'm in a hospital program. They agree to pay the tuition (not books and uniforms) if you agree to work for them for 2 years. Not too bad of a deal, especially since they also have an RN program with an easy bridge system. :) Yep.. Supposedly next t...

    Hi all! I'm married and a mom to 2 young children. I started my program on April 21st and I will graduate on April 17th, 2009. We're wrapping up our first term this coming week (finals - AHHHHHHHH!) and moving on to term TWO already! It's flying...

12. Had Orientation Today!!!!!!

    Oh wow! I'm glad you had a great day. The guy who wouldn't get off his butt won't last long, I bet!

13. Why did you choose LPN instead of RN?

    MeowTimesTwo replied to kimmyj74's topic in LPN/LVN Students

    I chose to be an LPN first for a couple reasons. One, because I'm an older "returning" student who didn't do so well when I initially went to college after high school. A lot of RN programs around here have waitlists and strict criteria and it just m...

14. Need some input

    MeowTimesTwo replied to wintersetmom's topic in LPN/LVN Students

    Hi! congrats on getting into school! :) As far as how to prepare - honestly, just enjoy your "free time" and relax. if you're really itching to do something, maybe pick up a simple med term book or anatomy book. Or, if you know you're a little rusty ...
