  2. Passed Nclex PN with 205 Qs

    Congratulations!!!
  3. Which path to choose?...

    I would choose LPN. LPNs have more options for jobs. LPNs can be surgical techs, surgical techs can't be LPNs. As the poster above said being a nurse and being a doctor are two different paths. Choose one or the other.

  13. How long are your clinicals?

    I attend clinicals eow 645-1500. I personally think that for basic nursing 8 hrs is too long. I have 1 pt to care for so I have a lot of down time. I think for basic nursing 4-6 hours is enough.
