   If it's your dream, don't give up! See if you can reapply to the LPN program to repeat the course you failed or see if other LPN schools will let you transfer credits.

   pca_85 replied to Dezy's topic in Relations

   It happens. It happened a LOT at the first place I worked. All you can do is let them know it's inappropriate. There are certain settings it happens more in, from my experience-with individuals under the influence of drugs or alcohol, also certain ne...

11. Advice please! Transfer school needed, but what kind??

    pca_85 replied to sunnsmiles's topic in Student Assist

    If I were you, I would get the LPN license you are more than qualified for, then do LPN to BSN online. I know this must be devastating-so close to being done and all-I've been there, kind of-but hang in there and do not let one instructor ruin nursin...

12. I can't believe it!

    pca_85 replied to want2banurse35's topic in General Students

    Congrads! Live it up, as you will NOT be able to in nursing school. Buy a ton of school supplies, running out when you have a ton on your plate sucks. Get a pedicure, pamper yourself, and celebrate getting in with so much competition :)
