  1. Continuing Education

    GracieLVN replied to Hello_Nurse_8's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I think your first year they give you kinda like a freebie, then you have to do CEUs. What works is taking up a course than you can attribute to RN prereqs. Most of the classes required for RN...

  2. Why did you choose LPN over RN..need help making a decision

    GracieLVN replied to BjSkyGGEvan's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I chose LVN because it was the first nursing program that accepted. When I applied, there were very minimal prereq requirements so it the application process was easier. I've been working and going to...

  3. Lpn Or Surgical Tech???

    GracieLVN replied to greenie101's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    LVN/LPN definately!!! The pay can be roughly about the same if not more as an LVN/LPN. Also, there is so much more you can do with nursing!!!

  4. is being an lpn so bad???

    GracieLVN replied to da_hood_model's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    The only downside of being an LVN/LPN is that you are limited to where you can work.. no one really know what you are and you're mostly appointed the "nitty gritty" work load. Its like we're a dying...

    GracieLVN replied to Mary01's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

  9. LPN'S are NURSES TOO

    GracieLVN replied to imnrs2's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    GracieLVN replied to trekjudy's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs
