Hey friends! So I start a residency program in less than 2 weeks and am just trying to get a decent idea of what I am going to be doing.. I know my first 2 weeks are general classes for the charting system and typical orientation classes.. I believe ...

Hey friends! So, I graduated RN school in August and have been working at the Radiation/Oncology office that I worked at since becoming an LPN 2 years ago. Just a bit of back history.. I completed my preceptorship in an ED, and I worked in a pediatri...

Hey friend, I have been an LPN in a radiation oncology clinic for 2 years, and got my RN license at the end of September, and just accepted a position in an emergency department which I start in 3 weeks. I am not sure what your location is, but in my...

No any color is fine. I didn't think to include that thank you!

Hey friends! So I am starting my first RN position in less than one month (Very excited!) and I am wanting to pick up some new and higher quality scrubs than I have worn as an LPN the last 2ish years. I have been sticking with the cheaper Cherokee sc...

Hey friends! Thank you all for your comments! So a little update.. I ended up getting an interview and was offered a position at the level 4 trauma center. There ended up not being a residency position with the level 2 as I thought there was, so it w...

Hey Friends! So I am a new RN currently employed where I worked for 2 years as an LPN in radiation oncology. I got my first choice of preceptorship back in August and was placed in an ED, and I am now applying to different local EDs to start my caree...

Thank you for this advice! I will be sure to keep this in the back of my head as I am learning. I really appreciate it

Great thank you! I started studying up on common ED meds that I found on here. That is definitely my weakness going in. Impostor syndrome about to set back in...

Hey friends, I am in an LPN2RN program, and my preceptorship is in an ED, and I was hoping to get a few of your "brain sheets" to either use or create my own based on them. By brain sheets, I mean the sheets you basically write the patient's inf...

I know what I want to may change down the road as I become more experienced. I live in WA currently and am trying to move into Emergency nursing as I just got my RN license in September. I worked in radiation oncology for my first 2 years as an LPN. ...

Hey Friends! So I also posted this under Emergency Nursing. So I am a new RN currently employed where I worked for 2 years as an LPN in radiation oncology. I got my first choice of preceptorship back in August and was placed in an ED, and I am now ap...

Both hospitals are in the same company so pay/benefits/training will all be the same. I may just apply to both and see what happens. Thank you for your response!

This is great information thank you. I am being careful of that. Both positions are open to new grads who had their preceptorship in an ED and offer a residency. I have only applied to one ED and was considering the 2nd. I am trying to find the numbe...

Fantastic, thank you! I am well out of my preceptorship now and an RN, but I am now applying to EDs in my area, so this will be helpful once I start! Thanks again!

Hey everyone! Just curious if anyone on here will be starting the LPN2RN program at Lower Columbia College in WA? I am doing the eLearning version, but comment below if you are in any of the programs starting Fall 2018! Also, if you have completed it...

@Wonderwallflower Yes its all the last quarter. You do 2 weeks of labs on campus, then around 1 month of clinicals with some weeks being Mon-Wed and others Mon-Thurs. Preceptorship is 130 hours and depends on your preceptor's schedule. 2-4 weeks.

Fair enough, thanks Wuzzie and HarleyGrandma.

It is 4 quarters. They have a few clinical locations but the majority of them are in Longview. A few students had a location in Everett, a few in Centralia, a few in Vancouver but most were in Longview. I personally had to commute from Tacoma everyda...

Is that the Kaplan Entrance test? It wasn't bad at all. It was NCLEX style questions but not as hard as what you would expect. If I am thinking of the right one. Good luck!
