   I was mostly unvaccinated as a child. Not bc of my mom thinking any of the myths, but bc I was almost one of the 2 in 10 that die from a tetanus shot. I had an anaphylactic response when I was a baby. So my mom was so scared she only opted to give me...

5. Should I get a job as CNA during nursing school

   charris61 replied to asiacl's topic in Indiana

   I am a CNA. I think it is helpful. I am also a student nurse and it's helped me to know what ask of my staff when I become a nurse. It also helps to know what is a good workload for one aid and if I am asking too much of them. I hope this makes sense...

   charris61 replied to Msre23's topic in Indiana

   I currently know 1 person in the me drench program and she loves it. I personally would stick with IUPUI only bc it's hard to find a transition program for RN if you want to be a RN anyway. The hospital just laid off all the LPNs so that's why I am l...

   Yes the last class is going to graduate in December 2014. I am in the second to last class. It is sad bc so many people loved this program bc it was small and it didn't have a lot of people in it.

    You cannot apply to JEL anymore. They've decided after 40 years to close the LPN program. They are trying to fight to stay open but the first semester class is the last class that will graduate from the LPN program.
