    DaniLPN2RN replied to *Scrubs*'s topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I graduated Marc 9, applied March 12, received ATT March 23, took test March 27 and passed! It varies on how quickly you receive your ATT, but it only took 2-3 weeks for everyone I know who graduated...

  2. 115 nclex question and 1 math

    DaniLPN2RN replied to Dlirius's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I can't believe you have to wait a month. Where do you live? I'm in FL and we can get our results within 48 hours. It still amazes me how different every state is. Definitely post your results. Be...

  3. 115 nclex question and 1 math

    DaniLPN2RN replied to Dlirius's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    It is absolutely possible that you passed! Everyone feels doubtful after taking the test. I know people who had 87 questions, 205 questions, and everything in between. They passed. I know it is...

  4. Starting school and terrified

    DaniLPN2RN replied to Shabinka's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Being nervous is expected. After a week or two, you will start to calm down and know what is expected of you and what to expect. Start out immdiately getting yourself into a routine and stick with...

  5. How do you study for clinical check offs?

    DaniLPN2RN replied to bcskittlez's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I think the most important thing is to have confidence in yourself. Even if you haven't done the skill before. We practiced our skills in lab, but we had kits that we could take home. Familiarize...

  6. Anyone Else in a Diploma LPN program?

    DaniLPN2RN replied to fadedstars34's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I just graduated in March. It is a very intense year, but so worth it. I used the LPN program as a stepping stone in obtaning my BSN. To me the benefit of getting the LPN is the quick in and out....

    DaniLPN2RN replied to nursemoe09's topic in LPN, LVN Students

  9. Lvn Vs. Medical Assistant Help please

    DaniLPN2RN replied to DiabeticGirl18's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    There are far more opportunities for nurses; however, this is a personal choice. Do you want to be a nurse? Or do you just want to be in the medical area without as much patient care? It really...

  10. pay cut

    DaniLPN2RN replied to liveyourlife747's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Try www.salary.com. This should give you an idea of the pay difference. I'm in FL, but the pay difference is significant; possibly $12-14 for clinic (not certain). It depends on what you are...

  11. New Grad Hiring Freeze?

    DaniLPN2RN replied to jlindsey923's topic in Florida Nursing

    I am a new grad also (March 09). There are jobs out there, I think it depends what you are willing to do. I didn't want LTC when I graduated, but have a great job working Baylor shift weekends. I...

  12. The new challenge.

    DaniLPN2RN replied to Tone022's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I know several people who work at the VA and it took 3-6 months to get a call and an interview. It's a lengthy process the majority of the time, from what I hear. Good

  13. LTC Starting Pay Tampa Area

    DaniLPN2RN posted a topic in Florida Nursing

    I know this subject has been around everywhere. But, I'm looking for specific information and can't seem to quite find what I'm looking for. I am a new grad LPN. I have an interview tomorrow at a...

  17. How much should instructors help?

    DaniLPN2RN replied to NamasteNurse's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I recently graduated from my program. It was difficult and a lot of work. My experience is that many students expect to be spoon fed the information. Many students would ask the instructors what...

  18. Transferring credits from Hillsborough Community College to St. Pete College

    DaniLPN2RN replied to LovingLife16's topic in Florida Nursing

    I am not familiar with SPC; however, I have been looking at different LPN-RN bridge programs as well. Usually there is an academic advisor that you can contact. This person should be able to tell you...

    DaniLPN2RN replied to JumpingIn's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

  20. Ideas needed for instructor gifts

    DaniLPN2RN replied to whippoorwill's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    There are so many ideas on what to get them. I just graduated last week and one of the items we got for our instructors was a book. It's about nursing around the world. It's a really neat book. A...

    DaniLPN2RN replied to breeqt's topic in Florida Nursing
