Introductions

Hello everyone. I'm currently an LPN student at Flint Hills Technical College in Emporia and due to graduate December 19th of this year. I also take pre-req classes at Allen County Community College in Burlingame and work weekends at a local long-term care facility. I live in Topeka, so I drive quite a bit.

I'm a Mom and Grandmom and am fortunate to have wonderful family support while I'm going to school.

After I finish up at ACCC, I'm considering Baker University School of Nursing at Stormont here in Topeka. Even though it's a beautiful drive to Emporia, it's worn thin after 9 months.

I also act as one of the Volunteer Coordiators for one of two Native American Indian worship groups at the Topeka Correctional Facility and founded a non-profit organization that supports the religious rights of Native American Indian inmates nationwide. We also supply religious materials all over the country to Native American Indian inmates.

I'm married to a minister who is a retired pastor and currently a Chaplain at an alcohol and substance abuse treatment center.

Guess that's about it. I'm usually more long-winded, but it's been a long day!

Any questions, just ask!

Peace,

Awi

Hello everyone. I accepted a 13 week assignment in Garden City today. I live in Fort Smith, AR. This is my first travel assignment. I have 10 yrs. experience in psych nursing. Well I have had many experiences, and let me just say a colorful childhood, but I am nervous as can be. If any of you out there live in that part of Kansas give me a yell, and let me know what that area is like. I leave Saturday morning. I will be checking the posts.

Take care, irnpsych

I'm an LPN student going to school in McPherson. It's really busy and intense, and sometimes I wonder if I'll know my own name by the time I'm done in May. My 40th birthday will be in a few weeks. I would like to be a RN someday, but my family can't handle me going to school fulltime another year right now.

What about those distance LPN-to-RN programs (such as Rue and Excelsior). Does Kansas accept them? How do-able are they?

I'm from Washington State but have lived in Kansas City for about 4 years. I'm a nursing student at KCKCC.

Glad to be here!:)

Welcome aboard Michael. I'm in nursing school at KCKCC too! Where are you in the program?

Just getting started - taking a summer class (Health assess in Nursing) right now. Start Nursing in August.

I just moved here. :) Well, I'm actually starting work in Nebraska first, but as soon as my Visascreen goes through (I'm Canadian) then to Wichita I go. :) It's an awesome little state, I love it, though MUCH warmer than where I'm from! :chuckle

I'm in the afternoon class. I assume you are in the morning class since I know both of the guys in my class. That means I am in the class right next door to you, in the articulation class from 9:30 till 12noon. I'm getting nervous about the assessment final. What about you?

sorry it took me so long to get back to you but i haven't been at this site in a while. yeah, i was in the morning class.

i did great on the final assessment. i think it helped to have my wife for my client - she was great and soooooo cooperative! i missed - i think - 4 things that i knew better than my own name. like, i forgot to purcuss the abdomen; umm, and a couple of other things. oh yeah, i forgot to palpate the femoral arteries if you can believe that. but the missed items were so dumb i was very unhappy. but i got a good grade in the class.

are you excited about the fall? i sure am. it will be fun i think.
