  4. NOT going to the pinning ceremony

    I have previous degree, and my LPN is truly the proudest I have ever been. To not be pinned and to not have the lantern to me mocks the nursing profession. It was one of my best experiences, and I loved it!
  5. Practice question that doesn't seem right.

  11. Central Tech/CNA Training

    That must be why a certain person resigned and why someone else has taken over. Do you think it will improve? Why did all of this happen? I am in the Drumright program at presetn and so far am happy with it. It is self-paced and the pass rate is...
  12. Central Tech/CNA Training

    I attended that program last November, and clinicals are done at a local nursing home during the hrs you attend class. It was a great program and now I am in the LPN program also with Central Tech but in Drumright.
