  1. a "friend" looked me up on the BON?????

    DaniLPN2RN replied to BA.LVN's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I would just casually text her and tell you are concerned ... you looked her up on the local County Police Mug Shots and you couldn't find her picture, but she told you she was "pscyh"o. LOL:roflmao:...

  2. What is your reason for bridging from LPN TO RN?

    DaniLPN2RN replied to stronginchrist's topic in LPN to RN

    I am currently pursuing my RN. For me it a combination of wanting to increase my earning potential and open more career opportunities. While I currently love my job, my company is changing the job...

  3. messed up

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

    Don't be too hard on yourself. Just remember, things always work out the way they are supposed too. Whether we see it now or not, there is a reason you weren't meant to go to that interview that...

  4. How hard/how much time is LPN/RN school?

    DaniLPN2RN replied to azurq123's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I concur with the other posts. It depends on how much time you are willing (and able) to devote to it. If you are in high school, going to college immediately following would most likely be the...

  5. work from home opportunities for lpn

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

    There are work from home opportunities, but you often have to have so much time on the job before they will set you up at home (ie. after 90 days you may be able to work from home). Check out...

  6. Certifications

    DaniLPN2RN replied to madea82's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Congratulations on passing NCLEX! It's an exciting time. In the state of FL, I have ACLS as an LPN. If you work for a hospital that offers the certifications, they will most likely require that your...

  7. ANP vs Micro - Which to take first??

    DaniLPN2RN replied to DaniLPN2RN's topic in Excelsior College

    Thanks for the tips guys. It seems to be a common theme that one thinks they failed and did well on these exams. I hope to feel the same ... well, not that I "want" to feel like I failed, but hope...

  8. ANP vs Micro - Which to take first??

    DaniLPN2RN posted a topic in Excelsior College

    I only have 2 pre-reqs that I need to take before I can start the nursing exams. Would you recommend ANP or Micro first?? Will one help with the other? I know most colleges require ANP prior to...

  9. a&p

    DaniLPN2RN replied to ashcip's topic in Excelsior College

    Thank you for the suggestion. I have taken ANP in the past, but it was too old. I'm leaning toward taking it first because it may mostly be review. I have not taken micro so it would be entirely...

  10. Cost of Information Literacy

    DaniLPN2RN replied to sassy1007b's topic in Excelsior College

    I registered for the class today and it was $445. There was a tuition increase sometime in June or July that increased the cost of the course a bit. There is a technology fee that is added to the...

  11. a&p

    DaniLPN2RN replied to ashcip's topic in Excelsior College

    I am starting the EC process and have to take A&P and Micro. I plan to take both through EC. Does anyone have any suggestions on which is best to take first? This will be my first exam with EC...

  12. Microbiology Exam

    DaniLPN2RN replied to mochasouter's topic in Excelsior College

    I am just starting my EC journey. I only have A&P and Micro to take prior to starting the nursing classes. Since many of you have been in the same position recently, do you recommend Micro or...

  13. ACLS...

    DaniLPN2RN replied to andreasmom02's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I'm an LPN and work in critical care. I have ACLS. It's a difficult course, but passable. The experience will come from actually doing it, as with much of nursing. It's definitely looks great on...

  14. DNS is an LVN??

    DaniLPN2RN replied to ChargeNurseAmy74's topic in LTC: Directors, Assistant

    What function does the DNS serve at your facility? Some LTC facilities have Unit Managers, maybe the DNS is in lieu of Unit Managers which oversees all nursing staff. Just a thought. I'm curious...

  16. You MUST be freaking kidding me!?

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

    I know it's frustrating, but I agree you should wait the three months. A lot can happen in three months. One of the recently hired nurses may not stay, opening a slot for you. Just relax ......

  17. Does this schedule exist for an LPN?

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

    In Florida a lot of SNFs offer 16 hour shifts on the weekend. I believe you are not permitted to work more than 16 consecutive hours - but I'm not

    I graduated 3/9/09 from a FL school. Received my ATT on 3/23/09 and took the test 3/27/09. Received my results on Mon March 30. I don't recommend taking the test on a Friday. That was the longest...

    DaniLPN2RN replied to smm1901's topic in Florida Nursing

    Does anyone know if the waitlist for the Advance Track (LPN-RN) is as long as the one mentioned above? I have a few more pre-reqs to finish up but am hoping to transition in without too long of a...

  20. Take pool position or wait??

    DaniLPN2RN replied to yolanda2's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Depending on how much they call you, it is possible you will be able to provide for your family. PRN usually pays more than full time. Be cautious, but always see what options are out there. You...

    DaniLPN2RN replied to cutegrltoyaRN's topic in Florida Nursing

    DaniLPN2RN replied to papou's topic in LPN to RN

    I agree with agldragonRN. I also took the Arnett exit exam prior to graduation from LPN school. It was more difficult than the actual NCLEX-PN. I studied the Saunders NCLEX review as well. I found...

    DaniLPN2RN replied to erosa962's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I, too, transitioned from LTC to the hospital setting. While I found it to be an easy transition for me, it is very very different. Keep in mind, most agencies will not allow you to work in a hospital...
