   LeapfromLVNtoBSN replied to garcim09's topic in LPN/LVN

   Not to be negative, but be sure you have a back up plan! There are a lot of LVN jobs out here, but every single one is requiring 1 year experience, even SNF's! I've been looking hard and heavy for 3 months and have gotten no calls or interviews. I ...

10. Any current kaplan students

    LeapfromLVNtoBSN replied to mikeaswme's topic in LPN-RN

    I don't know because I never looked into going to Kaplan, but do they offer a RN bridge program? Maybe that's what they were saying that they were having a problem with? I would think, and anyone please help with this, that if the LVN class is accr...

11. Experienced nurses: What do student nurses do that drives you nuts?

    LeapfromLVNtoBSN replied to aem31's topic in General Nursing

    and I would, but just playing both sides.......our teacher wanted us "on the floor" and to "have our care plans done".....(LOL, I usually got just ok grades on my care plans because I didn't spend enough time on them, because I'd rather be on the flo...
