    IDK but my score was 42, I think the max is 46 unless you're a reapplicant. I'm finishing statistics this semester so that was the only coreq I didn't have. It's your GPA x classes completed + 6...

    @Autumn0122 the seats will fill up at some point but people may inevitably end up dropping. Two people in my 1140 dropped but all 14 of us

    1140 turned out well, I passed with no real issues. It just got really crammed because of the ice storm and Spring break. Thankfully, the skills and exam material were more of a refresher than all...

    @RJK Skills is a tad crazy because we lost so much time due to the reasons you already mentioned. We have our final exam next week which covers everything from physical assessment to IV therapy to NG...

    Yes, we have SCD's, and patients refuse them probably 70% of the time LOL. I imagine the program will qualify for aid, but that's something you'll want to get with financial aid about. I'm using my GI...

    LOL ted hose... honestly, I work nights so I never put them on, I always take them off and replace with SCDs if they are ordered (and actually in stock in central supply which is like only 50% of the...

    Congrats guys! I ended up registering, but we don't get section choices. We are doing online lecture from 12-2 and then in person lab from 3-6 at the EVC campus each Weds. They have skills check off...

    EDWannaBe2020 replied to EDWannaBe2020's topic in LPN to RN

    YES! So hectic! Especially with kids. And possible virtual school with random quarantines when a kid gets sick. It's been chaos for my third grader, and I have a 10 month old who is getting more and...

    Yeah he has been helpful at times, but he gets busy and doesn't typically want to sit around and study with me or talk about nursing--I don't blame him LOL. They have never offered skills in the...

    Hey PandemicMedic, glad to see you applied! I'm just curious, what gave you the interest to switch to nursing? I just received a petition to enroll in RNSG 1140 skills for Spring, which is weird...

    RJK, I think everyone is amazing in their own right! I will form a study team with anyone. I just know that medics tend to have more critical care experience which is what I lack. I work with a bunch...

    As far as I am aware, most specialty departments will want you to have a BSN. If they are short staffed and need nurses badly, they will often hire ADNs with the whole "get your BSN in x amount of...

    As an LVN, I would say just apply for everything and if you get into both, choose RN. I'm going back for RN for a reason, but being an LVN has been an awesome experience so far, and is a good backup...

    @Aislinn haven't looked, when is the application deadline for LVN Spring and fall 2021? I would recommend starting in the fall, as level 2 in the Summer is much more challenging as it is in the Spring...

    @mariah0418 After your first semester of nursing school you can apply for a CNA license. My little 40 bed rehab place always needs techs (CNAs). We are short a lot, especially if someone calls out....

    Aislinn, Check out the jobs available on sites like Indeed and you'll get a good idea. The big hospitals like Seton & St. David's hire mostly BSN only because they are after magnet status....

    Sure, I have two lab packs (one more used than the other) and will gladly give them away and get my closet space back. LVN is 12 months long without any semester break. I did mine from...

    I have 30 points, but I'm already an LVN so I'm just going to apply for the fall 2021 mobility track and suffer for 12 months straight. I didn't want to wait the extra 8 months to bridge to RN, so I...

    If 34 is the maximum for first time applicants, I imagine the cutoff will be reasonable. It really depends on how many re-applicants they have (how good their GPA's are as well) and how many qualified...

    Yes, you're correct. I have 30 points based on that figure. I'm missing Ethics which I am taking this fall. Hopefully that's enough. Don't forget you're also competing against re-applicants who get...
