Thanks a lot! I think that I'll take the advice and always use the practice exams. I certainly don't want to fail and have to wait 6 months to retake anything!

How do you get the practice tests? are they on the excelsior website? How much do they costs?

3pm to 11:30pm

If you cannot get federal financial aid for excelsior college. Can you defer old student loans? I know that you can defer loans if you are more than a half time student. But since things at excelsior are not set up as credit hours then how does this...

Well I'm pretty ****** off because I am one of the "suckers" who have signed up with TCN. I thought everything was kool because I thought that the study guides were basically all that I needed. So they are not?? I haven't taken any of the tests yet ...

I totally understand how you feel. I received my license in May and started working in June. Everyday that I went in to to work I would tell myself that it would be my last day there. I was so stressed and so confused about half and what I was bein...

There is no way that they can pin something on you if you were not working that day. Try not to worry about that! The proof is in the fact that you did not clock in that day. The protocol for some facilities is that you keep with the normal schedule...

Would there be any RN's out there willing to precep me in February? I need someone who is located in chicago (or outlying suburbs) or Northern Indiana. I am in LPN school and will be finishing my last class this month. I need to do 90 hours within...

Hello all, I am enrolled in college network and have been sent all of my books, materials etc. The problem is that I kinda jumped in while I was still in LPN school and wasn't working. So now I am like 4 months behind on my college network tuition p...

Well I guess I better stop complaining. I took my boards yesterday and got a lot of SATA and priority (like 25 to 30 of them) and computer shut off at 85. I don't think I did all that well and was praying that the test kept going to give me a chanc...

Well I read the book like crazy. And I did the CD until my eyes became sore. I think I studied out of that book more than any other. The book is good but the CD can be frustrating. Although they claim it is 3000 questions, I kept getting the same o...

How likely is it that a fresh LPN could get a job in HH? I am doing a preceptor at a home health agency and they seem so excited to have me. I'm wondering if this means that there is a possibility of them offering me a job? I know that I don't have...

So did you get the job right after school or were you experienced?

Yes, that makes perfect sense. I guess I wouldn't want to be in a situation where my license is jeapordized because I wasn't experienced enough to know how to do something. I'm anxious to get on with my career, not anxious to have to work in a nurs...

Congrats!! Good luck, you always have us here for support!!

Oh, good! I graduate next month and am anticipating working overtime on a regular basis to get back on track after not being able to work for the past 15 months! Hopefully I am going to want to work overtime? LOL!

I was taught to give meds and then check back in 30 min. for PO meds. So you told the interviewer correct as far as I know. I think you were correct in telling her no to the emergency situation. You would have looked stupid if you told her yes and t...

So are the salaries that you guys list with a ton of overtime of is it just your normal work week? I used to work in the steel mill where I made 50,000 a year but only made 15.00 and hour. It was the overtime that made the difference. I think that ...

I want to go into home health and specialize in wound care/colostomy care. I have tried some hospitals and nursing homes but it is difficult because a nurse must be willing to take you on personally. I don't know of any personally. I figured it was ...

Hello all, I am 3 months from graduating from PN school and need advice on finding a preceptor nurse. I want to go into home health nursing as this has been my plan since the beginning of school. The director of nursing at my school has informed us...

If a person fails an EC exam or prereq course. Can you continue to the next module and come back to that one (since you have to wait 6 months) or are you stuck on that module until you pass? I just signed up with College Network and was stunned to fi...

I am in LPN school which cost $21,000 dollars (yes waaay too much). There is a private college which has an ADN program with no waiting list which charges $30,000 dollars! After checking that school out, I met with a college network rep. When she to...

Thank you so much!! Definitely never thought about A, didn't even know about B and C! So thanks again!! I wish that I was in PA so I could look you up (I'm in Indiana).

I am in LPN school and am broke, broke, broke!!! Most of my classmates are CNA's and can manage to work around the crazy school hours. I am not an CNA and was wondering if there are any jobs that I can do in the field while in school? I need the ...

I live in Chicago Il. and a new LPN makes about $22 per hour. If you get with the right place you can make $20 an hour with license pending. Can you make a decent living as a LPN? I'd say yes, but then again, its all relative to your situation. Not...
