1. Private LPN Schools In Maryland

   LadyKLibra posted a topic in Maryland

   I have decided at my mature age to attempt training as an LPN rather than to wait for a RN spot with a college. Does anyone know whether or not there are any private LPN schools in Maryland, preferably in Baltimore? I know of some colleges that offer...

   LadyKLibra replied to flasandy42's topic in LPN/LVN Students

   How do you find out about hospital LPN programs? Do you contact them one by one or is there a website to go to? I would love to find one in the Baltimore, Maryland area, if possible. Thanks

   LadyKLibra replied to cindy0624's topic in LPN/LVN Students

   I'm so glad that someone posted this option - going from LPN to RN. I'm 50 and really don't have the patience to wait for nursing slots to open up if I can be dong something else educationally. I never thought about the LPN route until now. I have...

   I just applied for Spring just today- I had my interview ( they just started interviews). I won't find out until November. I *hope to god* I get in. BTW I am very glad to hear about Dr. Kaiser. I'm taking Micro with him in the Fall as my last pre-r...

   LadyKLibra replied to LadyKLibra's topic in Maryland

   Wow!! I looked at the pre-req list for Johns Hopkins and I have all of the pre-reqs except for Chemistry (ugh). Thanks so much for the encouragement and for the links. I really thought that my age might be a detriment for starting out in a nursing ...

7. Waiting Lists for MD Nursing Program

   LadyKLibra replied to LadyKLibra's topic in Maryland

   Sorry Daphne....I should have stated that there are waiting lists primarily for the cc's that I am willing to commute to. I have child care concerns and really don't want to venture out too far from my area - I'm in SE MI and most of the schools tha...

   Henry Ford Community College, Macomb Community College and Wayne County Community College. Many of the other CC's were not conducive with my travel commute.

   LadyKLibra replied to LadyKLibra's topic in Maryland

   Thanks so much for the feedback. UMAB sounds great but at my age, I really wanted to go to a 2-year college. Glad you told me about CCBC - I have all of my pre-reqs from another college but I might try there anyway. How far along are you in their ...

11. does IL recognize deaconess grads?

    LadyKLibra replied to KSTNLPN's topic in Online Learning

    What St. John's are you referring to? I live near a St. John's facility in Michigan and hope that I work out clinicals with them when I get to that junction. I'm still awaiting info from Deaconess.

12. I was accEPTED TO DCN for MAY! Happy dance, happy dance!

    LadyKLibra replied to ImaEMT's topic in Online Learning

    Oh my goodness.....Maybe Deaconess isn't the choice for me. I was considering attending the school as an online student - just about have all of the pre-reqs out of the way. Is it difficult to get clinical sites? I thought that the school arranged...

    LadyKLibra replied to new_mom26's topic in Online Learning

    I'm thinking of attending Deaconess. I just about have all of the pre-reqs out of the way. Do we have to secure our own clinical sites? I thought that school did that for the students.

14. Anyone applied to a Diploma Program

    LadyKLibra replied to RDR2MOM's topic in Pre-Nursing

    How does one find about a nursing diploma plan in his/her state? I live in Michigan. Are you eligible to take the NXCLEX exam? Sorry if that is a silly question, but I'm vague about the diploma program. Thanks

15. Waiting Lists for MD Nursing Program

    LadyKLibra posted a topic in Maryland

    I'm currently in MI and hating it like crazy. MI nursing programs are very sparse here, and there are not many at all. I would like to move back to MD, and I was wondering if there were long waiting lists at many of the community colleges and other...
