   Thank you both for the response! I'm bumping this thread in hopes that more Buffalo nurses will see it. MFS sounds REALLY interesting and is going to be close to the area that I will be moving to. Could you give me more information about it???

5. LPN to RN 1+1 program doesn't exist for experienced LPN's

   AjoBSN09 replied to Roozeyk's topic in LPN-RN

   I could not agree more with the original poster! I graduated from LPN school in 2005 and came across this "AMAZING" program that would be "2 years, one night a week - and you'll be an RN, BSN" - that 2 years & one night a week turned into 3 1/2...

   Oh wow - I wasn't aware of that. LPNs are OVERworked in this area. When I worked in the ER - I did EVERYTHING that the RNs did - including given IV push meds. There were 3 things I couldn't do: Hang Blood, Take Verbal Orders and Push Cardiac meds...

   I go to Mt. State University and it has been disasterous - we were kind of the guinea pigs in this area for the program.....I'll just be glad to be done with it in 8 months!

    I graduated from LPN school in January of 2005 and began an LPN - RN, BSN transition program in November of 2005 - I literally have been killing myself - working full time and still carrying the full-time class-load. The school advertised the progra...
