  4. Can you become a LVN w/ Hepatitis B! PLEASE HELP

  7. Bashed for pursuing lpn route

    I am so tired of people downing me for going the LPN route first instead of straight to RN. What is wrong with being an LPN first? What is the big deal? I had an old instructor say to me, "you're too smart for that; you should have just went straight...

  9. Does it matter if LPN graduates from a NLNAC accredited program?

  10. Does it matter if LPN graduates from a NLNAC accredited program?

    Thanks Commuter, I feel more comfortable with accepting the LPN slot at this school. I was so afraid of not being hired in the future on that basis alone. Do you think it may affect RN students more?
