I went in 2000, and part of 2001 when I had to drop out (switched to Del Tech) due to my teenager sons needing me more. You will have so much studying to do but I know the end result will be great........If you can commit you should go..they used to...

Hi Ivy, funny thing I have only worked in private practice..........first job was at an OB/GYN practice with about 9 docs to take care of. I got alot of my confidence in that job, learned a little more about myself as a nurse and moved on towards a ...

Let me tell you that this is not a "piece of cake" position, especially at a Family Practice which I am assuming is from birth thru the dying process. Having a back ground in Phych is a great tool,,, you will definitely speak to a variety of pts, fa...

Beebe is a great school, tough but you are so prepared when you graduate to take the NCLEX and start working. You have so much clinical in comparison to the other programs.....since the are affiliated with the hospital you can do nurse extern, so lo...

http://http://dpr.delaware.gov/boards/nursing/documents/SchoolList_0109.pdf If you go to the Delaware Board of Nursing site, you will find the schools listed there that are approved Nursing Programs in Delaware. I've given the link, but you should s...

I remember it being drilled into us to answer as the question as the NURSE, in this case the LPN,,,, not the MD or CNA or RN. Give the BEST answer as the NURSE, even if the true best answer isn't given, you still need to pick the best one out of the...

I've heard that just this past week from my 13 year old daughter. We must live in the same area!! Ok my mother was one of 12 girls, she had a sister named Blad, (Blod), as if that wasn't bad enough my fathers brother married a woman named Blad. I g...

well the preceptor your're with now could give report to him, that way he would know that you've been doing things independently or with assistance. i would greet him cheerfully and let him know that what exactly you have been doing and hope to lear...

I worked for a multiple (9) doc practice in OB/GYN as my first job out of school for about 8 months. What I remember most is needing to be fast on my feet because they were seeing anywhere from 25 to 35 pts/day and you generally had to be in the exa...

I finally got my insurance after being at this job since August, I was told I would have it after 3 months, but someone goofed up, then it seemed that the office was changing insurance companies and had to go with one to make sure there was no lapse ...

i found out i passed well before i could get my results by going to the state board of nursing web site, and there it was my name with my license number beside it!! don't know if this works for everyone but it did here!! btw did you pass???????:ballo...

:monkeydance: Boy can I relate to all of this, most of the time I have to do the front desk and med records job as well, I can't even get them to have our new patients fill out paper work which IS THEIR JOB. I work in a multi-physician office,3 GP's...

Hi, You will find a great deal of difference in pay in the 3 different counties in Delaware with New Castle paying the most, Sussex the least. Kind of hard to believe with only about a 100 mile difference between them! I work in Dover now, live in ...

Hey now we have one from each campus!! I'm from Owens Campus, just started this Jan, have been in clinical 3 weeks now. Graduate this Dec. This is the first time that Owens has started a class for LPN's in Jan, how does your campus work? Which h...

I expect that I'll do at least one year on a med-surg floor to get more adept at skills, then hopefully on to home health. Who knows really what will happen, but right now that is my goal. I have so many different interests, but in deciding what ty...

Ok I see that are quite a few Floridians here!! Hopefully with a great deal of studying and determination I will graduate in December of this year with my LPN. What I want to know is if I decide to move to Florida in the future will this transfer o...

Well it does look like I do have the majority of the courses each of these schools requires, aside from the Psych. Like I said I won't be thinking about moving there for at least another year, and I have had my A&P probably 7 years ago!! Thanks...

Hey thanks Barb, do you know what type of pre req's they require, and how about a waiting list? I was on this one for 2 years! I guess what I worry about is that I'll have to take my Chemistry and A&P all over again! I've taken Nutrition, Huma...

Thanks every one, I especially like the life savers!! I thought about getting some Non Pareills (spelling???), oh you know no peril Also maybe making those rice krispy treats and calling them blocks of knowledge. Anyway this has been fun, any volun...

Name that snack!! I am looking for some cute names to give to cookies or snacks to be handed out on my classes test day. Last test I bought a couple of bags of "smarties" and passed them out. Can anyone think of any other appropriately named snack...

Hi! I'm just across the water from you in Delaware. I'm 44, 3-- mostly grown children, (all boys) and have a wonderful husband This is my second attempt to get through this. Only advice is don't dwell on EVERYTHING, and don't study what you alre...

In the school that I attend both levels of nursing attend the same first year curriculum, that is to say, that at the end of your first year you may sit for the NCLEX PN. One of the reasons behind this is if you have a crisis of one kind or another...

Essarge..............if you'd like to email some "local" people here on the Eastern Shore, go to http://www.wgmd.com, there is an address at the bottom of the home page screen that will get you where you need.................this are "the home grown ...

I had a friend tell me once to read a small portion of what I was studying and then walk away and "just think about it" and it really worked. It actually got to the point where I was dreaming about the test questions and some did appeared on the tes...

Yes A&P is hard, but once I got the general gist of things it all fell into place. I still use my A&P knowledge, and my med term. Pay attention and ask all the questions you need to.
