  3. why look down on a lpn

    I am just like you. I started out going for my RN and when time to apply came around I did not even apply for the LPN program. I was in some classes I needed so I did not get accepted. I had to make the decision to wait a whole year and possibly risk...
  4. need LVN students! advice!!

    HIGHLIGHTERS. #1 most important. I would also suggest getting different colored pens to write your notes in, it is a very helpful thing when you study. I bought a cross-body purse so I wouldn't have to carry around a lot of extra junk, I basically br...
  5. Is it worth working as an LPN while getting your RN?

    I'm currently in an LPN program planning to do the bridge next year. I don't think that there is anything wrong with working as an LPN before being an RN. I really kind of like how its broken down and I can work as a licensed nurse during that to gai...
  6. How are you paying for LPN school?

    I've gotten through school by basically cutting back. I know this doesn't work for everyone but so far, I haven't had to get a loan. I worked out a payment plan with my school and thats been very helpful. I shop around for the best deals for everythi...

  10. I've been in my PN program for about a month now, and I thought I would share the few things I've learned so far to help manage life with nursing school! 1) Go with the flow. Class was supposed to end at 1 and it ended at 1:10? Thats ok! One instruct...
  11. Last name on ID badge?

    When my sister first started her job before she got married she didn't put her last name on her badge because our last name isn't very common in the area. She wasn't concerned about people stalking HER, she was more concerned that people would use th...
  12. If nursing doesn't work out

    I've always tried to keep a safety net in all of my plans, while never giving up on my dreams. I didn't get into the RN program I wanted to this fall (I was taking the classes I needed so it didn't count), so when I got my rejection letter it was a l...
