   Any of you guys know if you're a LPN already and do the transition, how long does it take to complete? Do you get into 2nd or 3rd Semester ? Thanks

   Hi, it was not me that said that I'm scared, but I like to answer this. The program is just fine. The problem is if you live in State like Illinois, which requires your preceptor to have a Master's degree, so we can go all the way and not be able to ...

   I live in Illinois, which does not recognize Elcesior, unless you work 2 years in another state and apply for reciprocity. I am also afraid of CPNE(Elcesior clinicals). I have a co-worker who did and failed all 3 chances.

    Thanks. I have started a contract in the past, when I got accepted two years ago. Actually the problem is not to find a site, but a preceptor. It is easy to get a site approved, but you need a preceptor to go with you or the facility has to provide o...

    Hi Chaxanmom, Can you please tell me about clinicals? I think that going to Terre Haute is a possibility for me. I live 4 hours away from it. How often did you go for clinicals? I undestand that there are 6 classes requiring clinical hours, so how d...
