  1. lpn first ?

    Lamie replied to butterfly135's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I decided to go the LPN-first route for many reasons: - No ridiculous wait times, no scores of applicants to compete with for the few openings most RN programs have, and not a huge number of pre-reqs...

  2. Is it easier to get into an LPN program than an RN program?

    Lamie replied to GaMBA's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    It depends....in my case, yes, it was definitely easier to get into an LPN program, but only for the program of that particular CC I'm going to attend. They do have many applicants, but people...

  3. I didn't get into my program.

    Lamie replied to gemberly's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It always breaks my heart when I read that someone didn't get into their program. You work so hard to get in and can't think of anything else but becoming a nurse, and then you get turned down....

    Lamie posted a topic in LPN, LVN Students

    i'm crying right now.....i was under the impression that i would start my lpn program this fall and i contacted the nursing dept. to get some info on how to prepare etc. well, they emailed me back...

  5. Anyone going to Clover Park for LPN Next year???

    Lamie replied to Luptyloo's topic in Washington Nursing

    Congrats for making it in this fall!! That's awesome! I'm still going this fall too, after a little drama where they dropped my appliation, but it's all straightened out now and I'm going to register...

  6. They lost my appliaction - I am SO upset!!

    Lamie replied to Lamie's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Update: went in this morning with a new application and supporting docs and spoke with the new nursing coordinator in person. I managed to stay very calm and polite, she seemed a bit defensive. I...

  7. They lost my appliaction - I am SO upset!!

    Lamie replied to Lamie's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Thank you all for your wonderful support. It helps to come here to vent. I've been so upset all day and my poor husband has had to listen to me whine on for hours. I've been working to get into...

  8. They lost my appliaction - I am SO upset!!

    Lamie replied to Lamie's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Victoria, no, the school does not have any tests to weed out candidates for the program. I passed all my pre-reqs with As and when I applied last spring (2007), I received a call from the nursing...

  9. Anyone going to Clover Park for LPN Next year???

    Lamie replied to Luptyloo's topic in Washington Nursing

    Luptyloo, after responding to your post, I went and "snooped" to read more of your posts. I just wanted to tell you that when I applied for the LPN program last March (2007), a spot opened up for me...

  10. Anyone going to Clover Park for LPN Next year???

    Lamie replied to Luptyloo's topic in Washington Nursing

    Hi there! I'm hopefully starting the LPN program at Clover Park this fall. I was already admitted last fall but couldn't go because I had a surprise pregnancy and a deployed husband, and I've been...

  11. What color are your school's scrubs?

    Lamie replied to picurn10's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    In my school the scrubs for LPN students are dark burgundy. Not a bad color, but unfortunately it doesn't flatter my light complexion. I'll probably look sickly in

  12. Agggghhhhhh!!!!!!! I Feel Like I Am Losing My Mind!

    Lamie replied to mgalloLPN's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Daytonite, I'm sure you've heard this before, but I think it is awesome how detailed you always answer questions and how very helpful the information and links you post are. I've bookmarked a ton of...

  13. 1st two days....

    Lamie replied to acorvette's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    How exciting!! I won't start my LPN program until late September, but I'm nervous already and have ordered a TON of books from alibris.com. The "Made Incredibly Easy" series. I figure reading...

  14. Students that Fail

    Lamie replied to KIMMY03's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Isn't A&P one of the pre-reqs before you get into the LPN program? I always thought that it would be more or less some sort of "review" during the curriculum, but now it sounds as if it was...

  15. How to prepare for LPN school

    Lamie posted a topic in LPN, LVN Students

    So I'm FINALLY starting LPN school this fall. I was supposed to start last fall already, but had to postpone my plans due to an unexpected (but not unwanted) pregnancy and due to my husband deploying...

  16. Students that Fail

    Lamie replied to KIMMY03's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    This is an interesting thread. I'm starting LPN school this fall and the question "what if I fail" has crossed my mind more than once. Not only because I want to be a nurse more than anything, but...

  17. How to prepare for LPN school

    Lamie replied to Lamie's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Jules and Daytonite, thank you so much for your input. I'll look into the NCLEX book and thanks Daytonite for the awesome link to the medical terminology sites. I bought a medical terminology book...

  18. I got accepted!!

    Lamie posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Well, I got accepted into the LPN Program of my choice after my first trial. I applied this spring, and they offered me a spot for this fall. I almost cried because I had to turn it down due to my...

  19. I got accepted!!

    Lamie replied to Lamie's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Thanks everybody for the well-wishes! I'm excited, even though I'll have to wait another year before I can start. Jenpea, this program only required four pre-reqs; English 101, Biology 118 (which is...

  20. Are we all old???

    Lamie replied to np_wannabe's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm 37 and was going to start LPN school this fall - then I found out I was pregnant (NOT planned at all!) So mother nature must think I"m at least not too old to have a baby, haha. I'm going to...

  21. Im going to drop Stats then Im going to dig a hole and get in it!!!!

    Lamie replied to txspadequeenRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It's a bit hard to expain... it really only involves fairly simple arithmetic but all the different formulas and abbreviations are confusing. The whole concept is convoluted and just plain...

  22. Im going to drop Stats then Im going to dig a hole and get in it!!!!

    Lamie replied to txspadequeenRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Oh I can so relate! I just finished Stats and Chem 101 this semester and hated BOTH classes! I thought about dropping one of them more than once, but I missed the deadline so I stuck it out. To...

  23. Single Mom, become a nurse??

    Lamie replied to Honeylee's topic in General Students

    Wow, this is encouraging. Maybe someone can give me some hope, too: my husband is deploying to Iraq this summer and I was going to start a full-time LPN program in the fall. We have a 7-year old son...

  24. Getting Fat Because of Work Schedule?

    Lamie replied to tofutti's topic in General Nursing

    I agree that watching what you eat is important. Supposedly, weight loss/keeping weight off is 80% diet, 20% exercise. Watch what you eat. For me, low carb has worked fantastically for over four...

  25. Need help. Starting to doubt myself. Almost HATE nursing now....

    Lamie replied to Emma123's topic in General Nursing

    First of all, my deepest condolences to you and your kids. You have been through an incredible amount of stress in your private life AND in nursing school. I agree with the others - don't give up!...
