I am in a rn program and i am a new lpn as of june 2011, i went straight from lpn schol to lpn to rn transition and now in the rn program, so needless to sayi didn't go o work i want my rn license and being an older student i am 51 and i feel that my instructors feel that i should know more just because i have a title of lpn. This makes me feel very insecure and awkward at times, i don't think this is fair what does everyone else think?

Hi, I will be attending mercy lpn to rn transition in aug 2011 in order to go into the rn program. Can someone tell me about their smoking policy and can we go off of mercy property to smoke without being reprimanded? Also how is the lpn to rn transition course? I also have a choice to go to CCAC in which i passed their lpn to rn transition course but mercy would not except it. Or can someone recommend Mercy or CCAC nursing program. Please help!!!

Ok thanks, still need to get my books this will give me time on Monday since they are closed Saturday and only opened til 4 thru the week.

I seen that too,I'm going to call about that, has to be a typo.

I know we have to have the one for allegheny but i am in the same boat i don't know where i will be either. I might call tuesday to find out for sure.

yep,just wear white don't know what to exspect for clinicals. the syllabus looks really involved but it could be just me because just being a newly graduated lpn with no exsperience. Don't know what TW stands for regarding the clinicals.

I think you can take it with the other nsg. classes, but just check with a advisor.

Thats not fair because students going into the august 2011-2013 don't need their stuff done til the 1st part of august, how can they exspect this when you only got paper work the other day i got mine prob. around may 1st? specially if were not having any clinical ti l august i just don't understand?

hey christina, glad to see you got your stuff do you know for sure when we have to have all this stuff completed? At first Mrs. Kennen told me june 1st and i think my paper says it all needs done by may 23 and must be hand delivered. I am hoping i have enough time, I go for my physical tomorrow and I guess Dr. wil give me a script for titers and start the tb test. need to get all this done by the 16th because going on vacation.

christine i have all my sciences done i usually go to boyce and sometimes i go to allegheny. I want to know when do we go for uniforms and stuff like books or do they wait till we pass the lpn to rn course and then tell us where we are placed and the other info. The way i take it is we dont have to do the 101 and 102 nursing courses we will just jump into the 202 course and so on and grad in may 2012. but i dont know if this is right.

That is crazy because you need physical, shots, clearances and drug panel tests and they want all this by june 1st i think. what about uniforms for after this course when we go into the August class semester or will they wait till the last minute?

Hi christina, CCAC doesn't tell you much I just graduated in feb from lpn school and so I'm kind of afraid I really don,t have any exsperience and i dont know what to exspect. So i guess we don't order any uniforms for August rn class till we pass this class but we have to do all of the other stuff like shots and clearances. I am really confused, hope someone can shed some light on this.

Hi I am a newly graduated lpn and was excepted into lpn to rn transition course at ccac has anyone done this course and if so can you tell mewhat to exspect and any tips or suggestions would be appeciated.

thanks aubie, i got a letter stating i would know by the 1st week of june. I just want to know so i can get everything in order. like physicals and clearances and what financial aid steps to take. I've also applied to ccac just waiting to hear any kind of news, this is very nerve racking.

hi are you doing the lpn to rn transition? I am and it's taken forever to get any answers. I applied the first week of April because i graduated from lpn school on feb. 25 and passed boards on april 1st. tried several times and left Amber several messages, finally today I called dean of nursing Mrs. Keenan and she said that Amber was out on vacation all this week and they would be mailing out letters this week. do you have any info on this nursing program?
