How about a thread that will allow us to introduce ourselves to those who are new and the new students can do the same.
I am Stephany, 42, mother of 3 children, a son 22, a daughter 15, and a son 13. I am an LPN of nearly 11 years, and I am in my first semester of a five-semester rn program.
Care to share?
Hi, my name is Jen and I live in Southern Ca. I am 23, have been married for a little over a year and start nursing school on January 14th. I am so excited, but nervous at the same time because I have several auto-immune diseases that can sometimes keep me down.
:welcome:Welcome 2jen. I wish you the best in nursing school.
Hi I'm Jade Marie - 18yrs old, no kids, and waiting to be accepted into the Nursing Program for May. Right now I am waiting for my interview with the staff and a chance to turn in my essay. Any helpful hints to for the interview or essay? I'm really nervous!! If i don't get accepted right away - I will have to wait till september - I'll be in Medical Assistanting until I get into the Nursing Program. It's a very competitive admission!
Thanks!
Hi, I'm Stephanie. I am a 37 yr old soon to be 38, wife, a mother of 2, ages 13:uhoh3: and 8. I decided to go back to college to get my LPN about 4 years ago. I've been doing most of my class part-time so thats why I'm into this so long. Now I'm in the full-time LPN program and I will graduate in July of 2008. I am working 24 hours a week at a birthing center as a CNA, and I'm having trouble deciding if I want to keep going for my ADRN. I can't work in L&D as a LPN in our area. so I don't know what I'll do. We'll see when I get closer. maybe I'll get a job at the clinic close to my home.
hi i am Claire.I am 39, married with two children.
I am in my 2nd year of a 3 year nursing degree in Australia.
We obviously do our nursing courses a little different from you guys, coz i dont understand what LPN, BSN and ADN is?
Would love for some one to explain it all.
LPN - Licensed Practical Nurse (in some areas they are LVN the V=Vocational) this is usually around a year full time and at our school seems alot faster paced and more intense than the ADN program I'm in
ADN - Associate Degree Nurse- RN a 2 year degree with about a year's worth of prereq's prior to entry
BSN - Bachelors of Science-Nursing - RN this is a 4 year, in some areas it's accelerated and can be completed anywhere from 2-3 years sometimes including your prereq's
