Hey all, This is my LPN essay..I'm not being deliberately terse,it says it has to be less than 250 words. Anyway,read it and let me know what you think and any constructive criticism..I finished it in about ten minutes and its a rough draft..but its ...

I hope that my question does not offend or demean anyone or their education,I really would just like to know- In one of my previous posts I mentioned my negative experience in an LPN program. I am thinking about trying again,but this time as an RN..I...

Sorry for the delay in response-I just wanted to thank you all for your support and kind words of encouragement.I don't know if I will pursue nursing right away,butI haven't given up hope yet! :)

I am hesitant to write this,as I don't want to be dramatic,but it is weighing on me very heavily. I started an LPN program in Aug. 07,and was expelled due to 'lack of clinical competency' or something like that...It is a long,complicated story which ...

Ok,so this isn't a nursing thread per se,but I am having a dilemma,and am in desperate need of advice! I just started a job as a 'part-time' PCA for a quadraplegic man in his 30's. He is pleasant,but meticulous and demanding (I understand he probabl...

I'm sorry if this is a ridiculous question,but I am starting a LPN program on August 28th-so clearly I'm a nervous wreck!! Anyway,I had planned to wear a conservative outfit on Tues,but I hear it supposed to be in the 80's with high humidity. Upon h...

I am going to be starting an lpn program in August '07-and am scared to death btw! Anyway I currently work in a physicians office,(as a secretary)and I really like the idea of ambulatory care (for the time being anyway:) Will they teach you any of t...

So I haven't been on this site since October,as I had been very busy with a new job and living on my own. Since then,a lot has happened. I have moved back in with the 'rents-as I was planning to do once my lease was up in Feb.07- Since January I have...

Don't feel silly,if you don't know the answer you should always ask. I am not a nurse yet,I'm not even a student,but my bf's mom is an LPN in an LTC facility and she wears what I like to call 'fun scrubs'-a shirt with prints on it and a coordinating ...

I've been in the process of applying for the LPN program at my local voc. school,and even though I don't exactly have a stellar educational history,I figured I'd do well enough on the NET to get in to the program. I opf course will get a study guide,...

I hope this post doesn't offend anyone,but I have noticed a lot of the nurses I know are overweight,smokers or both. Obviously people become nurses because they completed school,and are qualified to do their jobs,which has nothing to do with physical...

Godsend, I can totally relate to your post! I have chosen to go the LPN route for a few reasons one,the program I am entering in to doesn't require pre-reqs which always messed me up. Secondly its accelerated,so I can be working in 10 months,third be...

I hope this isn't a dumb question,and I'm sorry if it is I just am a pre-nursing student and have a lot of questions about how things work. Anyway,I was wondering why they have you graduate the program before taking your licensure exam? What happens ...

Hi semi-fly I don't know if this is helpful or not,but my school of choice highly recommends a NET study guide. Eriworld.com used to sell them for $30 ish but I couldn't get the site up when I checked ( i didnt want to give you wrong info) Try this l...

Unfortunately I dont know,however if this is true it would be awesome! I know from previous employers that they will pay to you to further your education only if it pertains to the field that you're currently in (i.e a bank paying for a finace degree...

I'm sorry to have caused controversy..I was just curious since I will be going in to nursing and I am overweight,and I was wondering what peoples experiences were.I tend to be a worrier,and was concerned how it would be for me. Of course it is not ri...

I apologize in advance for the novel I'm about to write,but I need to vent! Anyway,I recently decided to get a job in a doctors office,to get a feel for a medical environment before I go to school. From the beginning,it hasn't exactly been easy.I hav...

Hi all, I just submitted my application to LPN school. Of course I won't hear anything until I take my NET exam,but still everyone cross your fingers! Anyway, I am applying to a ten-month program,and was prepared for the fact that it will be very int...

Thanks for your responses guys..I was kind of thinking working wouldn't be the best idea,and I'm glad you agree. Have a great weekend :)

Thank you guys both so much. I did change some of the 'I's in the saay.To answer your question Thomp,the application just asked why I want to be a nurse..no specifics..probably because its an LPN program at a vocational school..but anyway thanks foe ...

Hi again, For those of you who may or may not know, I am in the process of applying to LPN school. Another poster said her school was giving her grief because she switched high school,and they needed all the transcripts. Someone replied that as long ...

Thank you very much for your input..perhaps you're right, I guess I just figured since it was a personal essay that 'I' is a good thing,but hey thats why I asked for advice..its good to have a proofreader. Thank you again.

Hi everybody, I'm sorry I haven't written in so long..I'm not sure anyone noticed or cared,lol I just like to pretend I'm missed Anyway I have been really busy. Between switching jobs (I work in a medical practice now as a secretary..its a step clos...

Hey everyone, I thought I was somewhat over my obsessive worrying about nursing,but the weekend proved me wrong. I took my CPR for healthcare providers on Saturday,and thought I would do fine because I took pediatric awhile back (and of course let m...

I am planning on getting my LPN, But in an earlier post I asked if I could get a job as one or if I would need my RN first. Truthfully, I'd like to get my LPN first so i can spend less time in school (and move back out of my parents house!) start wor...
