How was the NLN? I am horrible at math and the when I looked over the vocabulary I didnt recognize none of the words :/ What are the pro's/con's of the program?

My advisor changed my schedule after our meeting. I took the CNA course over the summer. And I couldnt attend fall bc of my work schedule. I will be taking Chemistry and Math this Spring. How is your classes going

How did things turn out at the clinic?

When I graduated in 2010 I took a job at a clinic family practice @$15.00 I only did the clinic for 1 1/2 I made more money at the hospital as a ER tech

oh no! that sounds horrible. I wish you the best and you get the information you need to pass the NCLEX.

The nursing school I am considering is using NLN for their entrance exam. I stopped by Barnes and Noble to skim though a review book and the verbal was not what I expected smh....I did not know most of them vocabulary words What has been your experience for prepping for the NLN exam? any tips

I agree with the above post about your environment factors and how great are you in math? I personally would take 2 classes and focus on your A&P so you can pass with flying colors.

Good luck JEtewart!!

I loved RMP website when I was attending a university. However, beware of students reviews; some students don't want to put in the work

bump. great thread. I am looking to into LPN 1st then bridge later.

Financially I am be doing the LPN (1year) 1st and then RN. My school only accepts LPN students that graduates from our school to the bridge program. Then I will do a BSN online. Good Luck!

Thank you Scottishtape!

Financially, I cannot not be out of work for 2yrs. So I am going to go for my LPN 1st. Then go back for my RN. I am curious to hear other nurses stories about their bridge experience. Did you feel like your LPN helped you with new concepts and skills level? How long did you wait to go back for your RN degree? Did you feel as though the NCLEX was more bearable since you took it for your LPN?

I am just starting my prereqs for LPN and it is disheartening to hear horrible stories regarding LTC establishments. Yes, I personally would find another job, you do not have your license to be in jeopardy.

32 going back to school. Ill be 34 when I apply to the ADN Nursing Program

congrats!! that is awesome

yes, that is a long term plan goal if even though I feel old (32yrs old lol)

I am a seasonal allied health provider with over 10 years in the health-care field from clinical to clerical roles. I am embarking on my path to nursing. However, I do not wish to do bedside nursing in the hospital. Someone said I might change my mind during clinical's and I highly doubt it lol. Public health seems like a good fit for me or school nursing. But I was curious to know if anyone else was looking into other specialties besides hospital nursing?

Congrats Chicarocks!

Mscoleman78! I hear that. I am just starting my prereqs for nursing. I have over 10 years in health-care from medical assisting to cardio tech to registering in the ER. I know I DO NOT want to work in a hospital and do bedside nursing. You do what works well for YOU. Im happy to read that you found your niche and it is working out for you. Im reside in IL as well by Schaumburg.

Good luck to you Lizzie!! keep us posted. I will be taking micro in the spring I think then im study for the NLN entrance test. I hate math and feel like that is my biggest weakness

Penelope, I would love to talk to you about Harper's program. Your likes and dislikes lol. What type of job did you take after school? was it hard for a new grad? where are you going to do your bsn at?

Hi I will be taking Human Anatomy this summer at Harper CC in IL I would like to apply to the LPN program next year if possible. Anyone else attending Harper or feedback regarding the LPN program?

So glad to hear your journey is going well so far. I am just starting my prereqs for an LPN program near me. I have an extensive medical background but I am looking forward to this nursing role. Good luck to you!

i hear that! I am working full time also. I hate that I just a job that is 8hr shifts vs my 12hrs shift (3x a week) I plan to get up early and study before class. It looks like im take my NlN entrance test in the spring....:/ Good luck on your Teas exam!
