2. Where do you want to work as an LPN?

   jasminewilliams replied to Lpn__'s topic in LPN/LVN Students

   I haven't started my program yet but I think I would want to work at a long term facility where I could build relationships with patients and getting to know them. Of course, once I begin my program I might change my mind

4. What made you choose LPN/LVN?

   jasminewilliams replied to Wannabeeinscrubs's topic in LPN/LVN Students

   I chose to become a LVN because it opens the door to becoming a RN. Obtaining your license is a challenge which is another thing that attracted me to becoming a LVN. I know only hard workers have the title :-)

   Thank you. Yes there is a class starting in May but I'm having a baby in July and decided to wait until August. I know no program is 100% perfect and somebody will have an issue on how things are done no matter what. I'm just so excited to begin!

   jasminewilliams replied to nursetobecm's topic in Texas

   If you guys don't mind me asking, how much is the program. I'm in the Dallas area and I am trying to find which school offers the cheapest tuition. Also for the current Concorde student, where do your clinicals take place?

    WOW. If I do end up working at a nursing home, do you think there are ways to avoid some of the worse nursing homes?

    jasminewilliams replied to jasminewilliams's topic in LPN/LVN Students

    Thanks guys. I don't start my nursing program until August 2013 and won't start my clinicals until a few months in. Every nurse is different I suppose and prefer different work environments.

    Thank you for your perspective. I don't plan on being a LVN for too long just long enough to get my pre reqs for a RN program. Thank you.

13. Whats wrong with working in a nursing home?

    jasminewilliams replied to jasminewilliams's topic in LPN/LVN Students

    I will say I have had friends that completed school there and they didn't have any problems except for it was hard (which I would imagine every nursing program to be). I'm glad I'm not the only one either :-)
