1. lpn pre entrance exam

   Mom2Cassidy replied to yinkasect's topic in LPN/LVN Students

   I am so sorry to hear that. I also found the TEAS confusing. Usually I do fairly well in the Eng/Reading portion (atleast average) and not so well on the math. That was completely the opposite when I took the TEAS. I didn't even feel like the English...

3. High tuition vs. Wait list need help fast!!!!

   Mom2Cassidy replied to holland5151's topic in LPN-RN

   Well, I guess it depends on how long the wait is!! The only advice I can offer is that if you got your LPN you could work and gain experience while you wait!! GL with whatever you decide!!

   Thanks for replying! After 47 mins(actually forgot I was on hold because I put the phone on speaker) a very nice woman answered! She told me to sign with an agency and have the nursing home that they send me to sign off on my renewal. So thats what I...

9. Why did you decide to be an LPN vs an ADN?

   Mom2Cassidy replied to Sarcolemma's topic in LPN/LVN Students

   I know I won't be selling myself short. I have been a GNA for 5 years, and I will be pretty darn proud to be able to walk into work every day as the charge nurse!!! I also really like working in LTC so, I won't even be trying to find a job at any hos...

    Mom2Cassidy replied to amber_n_schultz's topic in LPN/LVN

    Hey, They have classes m-f, around the hours of 8:30-4:30. The classes are 14 months long now. I believe that it the only length of time they have now. The price has gone up quite a bit! Its $29,000. I was shocked when they told me and wanted to run ...

12. HIgh School LPN program?

    Hey! I am about to start at ECPI in Manassas. The reps there told me that most of the students work and go to school f/t, so I am not sure why they would tell you that. I looked into a local highschool program too. It would be nice to go for that pri...

14. Cost of LPN training?

    Mom2Cassidy replied to Prairie's topic in LPN/LVN

    I think TheCommuter said it all! You will just have to look around your area. I am in VA and they do not offer the LPN course at the local college, and there is a two year waiting list for the RN program after you apply. SO, I decided on a technical ...
