1. Confused on what LPN school to attend. Help.

   SaraSmile3 replied to MelissaE.'s topic in New Jersey

   Nice, congrats! Are you doing the day or evening program? Regarding your previous classes, you would have to speak to the program coordinator directly. You may be able to skip a&p and/or micro, but don't hold me to that. They may require you to t...

   I know of one poster on here (don't want to give his name w out permission) that went to mcvts and bridged to rn online. A few of the graduating seniors I talked to also were accepted to bridge programs. There are a couple routes available... Online...

   Book and uniforms are not included in the tuition... So far I've paid about $600 for books (bought them brand new at the rutgers bookstore) and about $200 for uniforms and equipment. I bought 2 pairs of the total outfit since we have clinicals twice...

4. Just curious

   SaraSmile3 replied to silentRN's topic in General Nursing

   Thankfully, I have had nothing to vent or complain about yet (I'm lucky, I know), but I think in the near future I will be changing my username to make myself more anonymous. You never know who may be reading, and what I think may be a minor vent cou...

   SaraSmile3 replied to silentRN's topic in General Nursing

   I found out that the program coordinator of my school is on allnurses. One day she came into our class and said "Thank you to whoever is posting helpful information about our school on allnurses.com". I'm pretty sure she knows it was me since I use m...

   Awesome, make sure you have everything in the packet that they ask for completed by the orientation date. The evening class is 5:30-10:00, but for the most part we are out when we are done with whatever chapter we are working on, so sometimes 9-9:30....

   SaraSmile3 replied to Mo620's topic in LPN/LVN Students

   Congrats!!! Did they send just the letter or the packet with information? IIRC, I was sent the packet with my approval letter and that included a paper that I had to send back letting them know of my class choice and a confirmation of my attendance....

   SaraSmile3 replied to Mo620's topic in LPN/LVN Students

   No problem! A&P is on Tuesdays and Thursdays during the 1st semester; if your credits were within the past 5 years you may be able to skip taking it. You would have to speak to the program coordinator once you are accepted. It is definitely very...

   Hi LadyTee, Congrats on taking the exam :) I made it through the first round of finals and am currently one month away from being halfway through the program. The course is very intense, especially the first semester. We lost almost half of our class...

    Hi Gina, So sorry, I didn't see your post until now! Yes, the classes will be at the school where the testing was (Piscataway campus). Did you hear anything back yet? The wait felt like forever to me lol I'm still loving it, they start you out slow a...

14. How do I nicely say "no"?

    SaraSmile3 replied to SaraSmile3's topic in General Students

    Thanks again everyone. She didn't approach me last night, which might have been because of my "don't even try it" face I had throughout class (rough day yesterday lol). I did find out though that she has already asked everyone else in my clinical gro...

    SaraSmile3 replied to SaraSmile3's topic in General Students

    Thanks everyone! I'm going to let her know that I cannot change due to my boss' accommodations, end of story. I agree about the child care issue...I do not have children, and someone else's child care really isn't my problem (really don't mean to ca...
