2. Graduating Soon...How Long To Test?

   JustLynn2U replied to jjrz1037's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

   P.S. If it were me... I would initially test in the state you have a preference for, probably your home state, and then do what you need to to "port" your license with the other state... that way...

3. Graduating Soon...How Long To Test?

   JustLynn2U replied to jjrz1037's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

   I graduated December 8, 2007, got the paperwork in to the state board by Christmas and heard back from them the first week of January with my authorization to test. I signed up for the test online...

4. I need some help from all LPN's

   JustLynn2U replied to dkp59's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

   Before you do all of the leg work... call your state board of nursing or at least the director of your nursing school. I had a similar idea, called my state board and found out I could not legally do...

5. Do you take any stimulants?

   JustLynn2U replied to PopeJane3rd's topic in General Nursing

   Ahhh stimulants... had my share over the years. In my early 30's I was an "ephedra junky" and ended up suffering wicked adrenal exhaustion. I went to a naturopathic doc who got me straighted out and...

6. Passed NCLEX but no license yet....

   JustLynn2U replied to BNT1's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

   Not sure but if it makes you feel better, I know of a couple people who got nursing licenses with previous felony drug convictions. I'm not sure but I would have to think your state wouldn't have...

   Forgot to say congrats on passing the boards Kev! Thats the only thing I don't miss... NCLEX

8. Is LPN school less stressful and easier than RN school?

   JustLynn2U replied to Ms. Nurse Assistant's topic in LPN to RN

   Yes, I have a friend who went to school in Hawaii and it is the same way there... same school where you do LPN first and continue with RN if you choose. Personally, I think that is an awesome way to...

9. Is LPN school less stressful and easier than RN school?

   JustLynn2U replied to Ms. Nurse Assistant's topic in LPN to RN

   Ya Kev, they just started it a year ago. The existing ASRN program started it since so many LPNs were returning to school. You test out of NSG 101, 102, OB and peds and pass a series of practicums...

10. Is LPN school less stressful and easier than RN school?

    JustLynn2U replied to Ms. Nurse Assistant's topic in LPN to RN

    People flunk out of LPN school too. It can't be because they are stupid, because LPN school has an entrance test identical to the RN school. In our particular school, the schooling itself wasn't...

11. Why is it so bad to be an LPN ????

    JustLynn2U replied to hair_tie's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I'm a new LPN student in my first level and I can honestly say that I absolutely love school! For the first time in my life, I like M-F better than the weekends. I've always wanted to be a nurse...

13. Never understood nursing

    JustLynn2U replied to PACPhD's topic in General Nursing

    I seriously hope that isn't "normal". Does it happen? I'm sure. I've been on the family of the patient end of the stick and though I wasn't a nurse, I wasn't stupid. I understood they felt the...
