   Hey! It really depends on the agency. A lot of agencies utilize PRN RNs for SOC's (Start of Cares)/Admissions and routine visits are done by LPNs. One company I worked at paid $50 for routine visits and $120 for SOCs, another paid $70 for routin...

   My class started off with 28 students. We're 3 weeks away from graduating (NCLEX time, oh no!), and have 4 from the original class and 3 who fell back into our class, making a total of 7. It's not abnormal to lose a lot of students. :)

   jayni replied to granolatrees's topic in LPN/LVN Students

   Hello! I'm currently an LPN student who is two months away from finishing. Don't stress out too much, clinicals are fine. If you're worried about the long days (ours are twelve hour days), just keep busy. Believe me, they go by much faster if you kee...
