Hi David, deciding to attend nursing school, whether it be RN or an LPN school is certainly a big move that requires a lot of dedication and time. Your being a CNA first is a good step, because this will give you some insight into the medical field....

Congrats on passing the boards! Your on your way now. Have a good Christmas!

I am due to graduate this May from an ADN program. I have worked as an LPN for a long time. Only a few of the LPNs that I have worked with are supportive of this. They come up with all kinds of reasons as to why one should not go back to school. Thos...

My guess is that you PASSED! I don't know anyone who failed with the minimum amount of questions. Put your worries at bay and relax!!!!:)

I would try to get into an RN program right away after graduation if I were you. I would consider your PN training a valuable tool to gain entrance into an RN program and nothing more sad to say. They are pushing the lpns off of the med/surg floors w...

Hi! I am currently entering my last semester of an ADN program, I am hoping to go for my BSN next year. There are several classes offered at the BSN level that are not offered to the ADN, such as advanced pathophysiology. I respect all who have endur...

I think every nurse I have talked to said they felt sick after taking the boards, and they were sure they had failed, myself included. It is that fealing of the unknown that does it to you. Indeed we had passed, all that stress for nothing. Just anot...

Hi! I am an LPN currently in an RN bridge program, I am due to graduate in May. I entered into this program with 4 other LPNs that are close friends of mine, this has made the road much smoother. Having a study group most certainly is a must.

I did work full time while in my LPN program. I chose a non-traditional LPN program, part time. It was not easy that is for sure, but it did work. I worked NOC shift at a long term care center 10p-6a. Most mornings when I would come home, I would get...

Congrats on passing the boards! My advice would be to quickly do a bridge program to become an RN. I have been an LPN for quite awhile and finally went back to school for my RN. I am to graduate in May. It is SAD that we as LPNs are not respected for...

Hi! I am new to this site. I am an LPN who is currently in an ADN program. I am due to graduate in May, and hopefully take my boards by the first part of June. I have worked with many RNs throughout my career as a nurse, all have been wonderful peopl...
