3. Pregnant while in school

   jheath replied to jheath's topic in LPN/LVN Students

   My whole issue is we do not have our hand books so I do not know what our pregnancy policy is as no one in my class or the class above us is pregnant. I am hesitant to say anything until I know what my rights are with in the class when I get the hand...

   jheath replied to wannabe2013's topic in LPN/LVN Students

   In PA if you have two or more misdemeanors you can not sit for the NCLEX but schools will let you in, all the while knowing you won't actually be able to become a nurse because of them just to get your money.

8. In need of some healthcare experience

   jheath replied to Lpn2014's topic in LPN/LVN Students

   I would personally say if you are for sure starting the LPN program, while the CNA program would help I wouldn't do it. I know where I am it is a month long program that is 900 bucks and if you're going to be a nurse in a year anyway why spend the mo...
