Hello! I just wanted to share the good news! I am officially an LPN! YAY!
It was posted on my states Office of Professions website yesterday (I also ordered the Unofficial Results from PearsonVue and it said I 'passed'). I am excited and a little nervous all at the same time because it marks the beginning of a new chapter in my life.
I also wanted to provide words of encouragement to current students, or some who are studying for the NCLEX. Focus on understanding what can hurt your patient and how to avoid or prevent that, also, remember your ABCs! This tends to go hand in hand with avoidance of patient harm.
I found a good resource on this website that outlined a lot of information for quick review so please use this site proactively! There are fellow nurses who are willing to help and have already taken extra time to provide some resources - don't let it go to waste. All the student nurses, you can do it! Good luck!
I do have a question I'm hoping some 'Canamericans' may be able to shed some light on. I was born and raised in Canada but family circumstances had me come to the US where I have completed my LPN. I was wondering how easy it might have been for others to transfer their American license to Canada. I have family in Canada and would like to work in Canada if I desire. My program did not have individual classes and was 11 months long. I know Ontario's RPN program is 2 years so I'm assuming I may be required to take more courses to be considered. Do they count any work experience in your favor? Thanks in advance!
