  1. LPN or BSN

    Speaking from experience, I would go for your ASN because the stigma against LPNs is huge. Also, as above commenters stated, your job opportunities would be limited.
  2. Will LPN's be around for long?

    As an LPN who is working through an RN program right now, here are my thoughts: the experience I have as a 4-year LPN has been invaluable. I have a strong knowledge base, my interpersonal skills are good, meds don't scare me any more. At he same time...
  3. Should I drop out of nursing school?

    nursing school is *hard*-every single nurse will tell you that!! But, like me, you'll find your niche. I happen to love medsurge, but absolutely hated my ob/peds rotation-tp each their own. Don't drop out-finish, work in a few different areas, see if...
  4. recently took the nclex-pn!

    I also stopped @ 85 questions, and tried the re-registering trick...and what do ya know, I passed. =) Good luck!
  5. Diabetes

    the 'Incredibly Easy!' line of books is excellent.
  6. Hi all! I am pondering going on for my RN or staying as an LPN and getting more certifications. I've been working in acute care and doctor's office settings for nearly 2 years now, and am pretty content to stay put license-wise....(aside from the sna...

    you may as well make another being as happy as possible for the time they have left. Well done! =)
  8. Cna then lvn advice pls

    Go for it!! I'm an LPN in NY State and it's the best thing I ever did career-wise. Good luck!
  9. New lpn grad, starting in urgent care?

    Just do it! The best way to learn is to just take a leap. The above comment is correct, nothing you cannot handle.
  10. Got my first nursing job!!

    being on your own as a nurse is a great feeling, huh? =D
  11. yes and no-as a former tech, I know how busy techs are with all of the little things that the nurses do not or cannot get to. On the other hand, nurses have more responsibilities than techs...so it depends on the day, patient load (I work on a busy o...
  12. LPN/LVN vs. RN?

    Anyone have any advice on going for your LPN versus RN? (in NY state)
  13. LPN to RN?

    thank you! I have no problem being an LPN-I know what I'm doing, my patient care is superb-but some (definitely not all) RNs make it their job to be demeaning.
  14. A&P 1 help!!

    I'm taking A&P 1 this semester (11 weeks to go...) and I am a bit overwhelmed...we're starting the skeletal system, and wondered if anyone can give me tips on how to prepare for the lab practical? There are so many (obscure) bones to memorize. Th...
  15. LPN to RN?

    Hi all! I'm an LPN with a year of excellent experience (I work on a medsurge/oncology floor at a busy hospital). I always said I would stay an LPN, I had no desire to got for my RN, so on and so forth. But I never realized how LPNs are treated! I pu...
