   maddiesmommy posted a topic in LPN/LVN

   I want to be an LPN someday. I have to admit that hearing the stories about so many short staffed facilities, and having 1 nurse tend to a lot of pts really scares me a bit. Please tell me that this intimidation is normal, and that many of you LPN's ...

   Hi everyone. I wanted to get some opinions on what I'm thinking about doing. I eventually want to go to LPN school and become an LPN. I can't do that right now though, not until my youngest starts kindgergarten (which won't be until the year 2010). M...

7. Advice On Becoming A Nurse in my Forties!

   I'm 32, and have been a SAHM for about 6 yrs. I currently have an 18-month old and am planning to go to LPN school when she starts kindergarten in about 3 1/2 years. That will put me at 35 years old, graduating at 36 years old... and this is only if ...

   maddiesmommy replied to maddiesmommy's topic in LPN-RN

   pink2blue1, Thank you for sharing your story. It's very inspirational. I have called a technical school near me and went for the orientation. Right now, I am going to have to put my dream on hold, for about 3.5 yrs, until my youngest is in Kindergar...

9. My age....

   maddiesmommy posted a topic in LPN/LVN

   Now before I start to vent, I have to say, that my family (as in, my mom & dad) are very supportive of me becoming an LPN. The only thing that is bugging me is since I won't be able to start the LPN program until my 18 month old begins Kindergart...

    LegginMF, The ALF that my mom works at is exactly like the one you work at too. She is a receptionist in the regular building, and the Alz/Dem is right next door. It's a very nice facility, and the people that work there all seem very nice. I'd love ...

    Thanks everyone! :) I was wondering if anyone knows of any accredited online LPN programs? I think I'd rather do classroom learning, but I'd like to look into the online programs too. Thanks in advance!

    maddiesmommy replied to linzz's topic in LPN/LVN

    Yikes, that does sound scary for you and for the residents. I am not an LPN yet, in fact, I'm just thinking of going to school, but situations like yours really scares me. I wonder why LTC facilities won't hire more LPN's as to make the workload bett...

14. Share your 1st week of LPN school experience

    maddiesmommy posted a topic in LPN/LVN Students

    I can't wait to start LPN school, but I must admit, since I'm so shy, I am very intimidated and nervous about going back to school. I'd love to hear everyone's experiences when you started LPN school. Were you nervous? How long had it been since you ...
