Yeah I feel the same in my program. About half the class really cares and tries hard and shows up on time and turn in their homework on time. The rest just don't do their homework and call in sick...

I might have in my first semester, but after that it has gotten so intense that there is no way. I was going to try, but am really glad I didn't because I barely have time to complete all of my...

You will have to finish your GED first. You don't need any pre requisites though. Those are all part of the program. However, you can do them at a CC for cheaper and then transfer those credits to...

Make sure the program is approved by your state board of nursing. And if you can find one that is NLNAC certified, that is even better!

I am in Washington state, going to school in Oregon. Both states allow you to sign a waiver for the Hep B. I went ahead and got mine just because you never know what you will encounter in nursing. I...

I just do my own thing as much as possible. I am nice to everyone, but am not there to make friends, or to gossip about other classmates. I just want to be a nurse. That's all. Our program is just...

You could've practically been writing about my first LPN clinical experience. I went into my first rotation with 6 months of CNA work at a SNF under my belt and was so excited about getting my hands...

I use flashcardlet on my iPhone. It's also a really good one.

It's a clinic where people go for medical treatments, like in-office procedures that nurses can perform. Not addiction treatment, and not for nurses with addictions.

I get to do my clinical rotation the next 4 months at a nurse treatment center. What can I expect to see and do? I'd love to hear from anyone who's worked or done clinical rotations in one. Thanks!

First quarter was a LTC/rehab facility. Second quarter is clinics and urgent care. And third quarter only the top 8 go to the VA hospital. The rest go to more clinics and LTC.

That sounds like a really strange program to me. Even in 4 year BSN programs, you get your nursing degree in 4 years. All the community colleges I've ever looked into have the same pre req...

Since it's been a month since you posted, I don't know if you're still interested. But, I go to Carrington right now and I like it. It has it's goods and bads just like anywhere. We don't do very...

It's never too late. We have a lady in her mid 50's in my LPN program! And one who is 42, 3 in their 30's, and then me. I am 28 and I am JUST starting out too. I feel like I am glad I started a...

I work PRN as a CNA while in nursing school. The experience is PRICELESS! Most nurses are really nice and once they know you are in school, will let you help with some procedures and show you things....

Here's what has helped me: index cards to make flashcards - I use them for everything from A&P to Pharmacology to Labs. I use an app on my phone called flashcardlet and it's nice because I always...

Nursing school will put you through an emotional roller coaster. Here are the things I have learned. (some of them will sound very similar to other posters) ;) 1) Very few people ever get past high...

For our simple care plans (4 this semester), we just have to have about 5 (less if that is all that is needed for the client) diagnoses with their interventions and evaluation or expected evaluation....

I'm looking for an online program for my LPN to RN that will allow me to get there as quickly as possible. Is it possible to CLEP out of most of the pre reqs and most of the actual courses? And...
