   djandkmommy replied to Ericad85's topic in LPN/LVN Students

   I've been feeling like a human pincushion lately with the immunizations lol! I also need to get my CPR course finished in May - then I think I'm off the hook until September. I fully intend to try to enjoy this summer to the fullest - lots of rel...

2. New LPN students to start soon !! Come share your experiences :)

   djandkmommy replied to Ericad85's topic in LPN/LVN Students

   Hi all - I'm new to this thread - not sure how I missed it lol! I'm starting a full time LPN program in September. I will be taking A&PI and A&PII over the summer to help lighten the load a bit. My long term plan is to hopefully bridge ...

3. Any of you ever care for a pediatric celiac disease pt? Need your help

   djandkmommy replied to vintagestudent's topic in LPN/LVN Students

   Hi - I'm not a student yet so I'm not sure if this applies but I have a child with food restrictions (not celiac thank goodness) so I have a little first hand knowledge. Is education within the scope of your duties? This is key for a pedi patient....

   Exactly!

6. Anyone in the LPN full time program at Quincy College for the fall?

   djandkmommy replied to djandkmommy's topic in Massachusetts

   I can't :- ( You can't even apply unless you have all your pre-requisites finished. I would need to have A&P I done first. Also, financially, a two year program won't work. I need to generate an income after my unemployment runs out :- )

7. LPN Program -Traditional College or Voc/Tech School?

   djandkmommy replied to DonnaMurphy116's topic in Massachusetts

   Definitely A&P I if I can get it. I really would like to get that out of the way to lessen the workload in Sept. If I can get a College Math I will take that as well. I'm pretty good at math but without a refresher course, I'm afraid to try...

   djandkmommy replied to DonnaMurphy116's topic in Massachusetts

   I know exactly what you mean - I hate being sick because somehow no one takes it seriously. Husband included LOL! I am going to Florida in June with my sister and our oldest kids and then my entire family is going to Point Sebago in Maine the first...

9. LPN Program -Traditional College or Voc/Tech School?

   djandkmommy replied to DonnaMurphy116's topic in Massachusetts

   Me too - I would love to meet for coffee as well but the orientation day won't work. I have to drop the kids at my sisters and pick them up right after to get them home to bed. Going to Quincy is going to get old very fast I think. But let's plan...

10. How expensive is your program?

    djandkmommy replied to ZanatuBelmont's topic in LPN/LVN Students

    I will be attending a 10 month problem just south of Boston, MA at a community college. I was told it is roughly $18,000 by the school and when I add up the credit costs that is pretty close.

11. My husband said something that got me to thinking.

    djandkmommy replied to oramar's topic in General Nursing

    Sad but true! I'm not sure about the nursing industry (I'm soon to be a student) but my experience with my old company (insurance) was that the less you did, the higher you were promoted. So demoralizing to those of us that value a good days wor...

    djandkmommy replied to DonnaMurphy116's topic in Massachusetts

    Oh, I'm sorry - I thought I mentioned it. My name is Tanya Morrissey. I went to drs. today for sinus infection and got my TB injection and blood taken for titers. I hope I don't need any more immunizations but I suspect I will need chicken pox ...

13. LPN Program -Traditional College or Voc/Tech School?

    djandkmommy replied to DonnaMurphy116's topic in Massachusetts

    Thank you so much for mentioning the orientation! I called QC and got all the information (which should have been sent to me before but wasn't). Of course the orientation is the exact same time as my nephews birthday but I will be there. Now I ...

    djandkmommy replied to DonnaMurphy116's topic in Massachusetts

    :yeah: Yea! Awesome news! I knew it would be coming but it is still so hard to wait. I didn't get anything about an orientation - I wonder if that is because I am a returning student? I'll call today to find out. Thanks for mentioning it. D...

15. LPN Program -Traditional College or Voc/Tech School?

    djandkmommy replied to DonnaMurphy116's topic in Massachusetts

    I'm sure it will come soon. I didn't get the impression that they were really prompt with them if you know what I mean. You could Admissions to see when the letters are going out. You definitely got in if you passed the NET and applied. The...
