   OBplease replied to OBplease's topic in LPN-RN

   I'm in Texas. I have all of the LVN and RN pre-reqs and co-reqs, with the exception of Micro., for my school and a couple of the closest schools, and a couple of extra classes. I am contemplating the best path for my family and I. I have a desire to...

2. Difference between LVN school and ADN school

   OBplease posted a topic in LPN-RN

   Can anyone give me specifics on the difference in course work for LVN and ADN school. I know some say LVN is just the first year ADN but I'm thinking this may not be the case because I have viewed the semester schedule for the ADN schools and LVN sc...

3. Specifics about your program

   OBplease replied to OBplease's topic in LPN/LVN Students

   cwongsang- Thanks again for the feedback. I'm hoping I can relax a bit with summer and get it back...or not. I just can't imagine feeling this way after wanting it for a decade and a half. I think I'm just exhausted from worrying about it. I'll h...

4. Specifics about your program

   OBplease replied to OBplease's topic in LPN/LVN Students

   Thank you both. My kids will be 10, 7, 8, 5, 4. Four will be in school and 1 in preschool (it's a great place, which is great). I am just wondering, what do you do about sick care? Do you have time for Dr. appointments and school functions (like ...

5. Specifics about your program

   OBplease posted a topic in LPN/LVN Students

   I am ready to apply and am having a lot of self doubt. It all centers around my family. I just don't have faith at this point that I will be able to successfully get through the program with my kids. I know lots of people do it but I don't have mu...

6. So unbelievably frustrated

   OBplease posted a topic in Pre-Nursing

   ...and heart broken. I have been in school for reqs. for 2 years, at the end of this semester. I have wanted to be a nurse for the last 17 years. I lack one class, which I had planned to take in the summer. I should be applying to my program A.S....

7. How is One to Make it as a Nursing Student and Parent

   OBplease replied to cjones89's topic in Pre-Nursing

   If you have not taken lots of extra classes and only those that apply to the current degree you are seeking maybe this will apply to you. I'm assuming if you still have 5 classes, you may have around 90 to 100 hours already. My adviser recently told...

9. ADN program points now include BSN reqs

   OBplease replied to OBplease's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I actually just found out from my BIL (who just started reqs. there) that some of the students from that school have backed out already because of the changing guidelines. He told me that they sighted making it easier for students to transition to a...

    Ashley....The ADN reqs for most schools close to me are AP1, AP2, Micro, Gen. Psych., Psych-Lifespan, Sociology, English 1, Pharm., Nutrition, Med. Term., Arts, and Microcomputer Applications. A couple of those are just for my school, a couple are j...

11. ADN program points now include BSN reqs

    OBplease posted a topic in Pre-Nursing

    I'm wondering if anyone else is seeing this and what your thoughts are. A program I was hoping to enter for LVN in Jan. (and then move onto ADN year after the required year working period) will now be figuring in the BSN pre-reqs. If I didn't get in...

12. Still completely lost about path

    OBplease replied to OBplease's topic in Pre-Nursing

    dragonfly414- Thank you so much for your perspective. I have a great daycare. My youngest two go for preschool, while I do school and to be quite honest because I (and they) really have no one else we can depend on. I felt it best for them to have...

13. Still completely lost about path

    OBplease replied to OBplease's topic in Pre-Nursing

    ixchel...I don't know what else to say except, you are right on all accounts. I really appreciate your pep talk and understanding. It's so hard to keep yourself going sometimes without support. It's hard to know how much is o.k. to put your family...

14. Still completely lost about path

    OBplease replied to OBplease's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Thank you both for your perspective. Yes, I'm sure I'm worrying too much, mostly about my family. I had three hospitals stays with two of my children since Jan. and it was stressful worrying about who was going to take care of children. Our parents...

15. Still completely lost about path

    OBplease posted a topic in Pre-Nursing

    I haven't been on here in a while. Had a couple of deaths and hospitalizations in the family and took some time off from the site to clear my head...or tried to. However, I'm still, after two years doing reqs. lost about if I should be going to nur...
