   Thanks everyone! I actually called the school to see if I could get the book list but they don't give it out until orientation in June. I am going to go to the library to see if I can get a head start on some basis before that. :)

    Hi, It's only english and math. Math is mostly fractions, decimals, and algebra. English is reading comprehension, spelling and grammer. No science - there is a section but they do not have you do it. Good luck!

15. What is ecomony doing to first year LPN grads?

    catmscott replied to catmscott's topic in New Nurse

    That doesn't sound too bad ... they generally take new LPN grads? Can I ask what the hours and pay are like? I would love a flexible schedule too. How long does it take to get your RN after you are an LPN? I have seen as low as 18 months but don'...
