Any HI LPN's here? I work for Kaiser (pediatrics) in Denver, Colorado and will possibly be moving to Maui in early 2013 with my family. My husband is helping a friend open a new restaurant. Our friend has lived in Maui for 15 years, currently has a ...

yes. You do:)

I spoke with Carole Peters at the FRCC nursing program information meeting for September 07 and she said that they have not had room to add LPNsfor the last 2 years. They have 700-800 folks on the waitlist for the ADN and over 100 for the LPN-ADN:o (...

Is there anyone out there who has graduated from University of Phoenix LPN to BSN programs or done their BSN through them? I am in the beginning stages of looking into this program. So far it looks alright, other than the money. It is $325/credit un...

I agree that it depends on the state and the community in which you work. I worked in Paradise, CA on a busy surgical floor and enjoyed it so much. In that community LPNs were highly utilized and respected as nurses. Now in CO I work LTC because acu...

LTC and missing acute care.

I have yet to hear back from Longmont.

I am looking for a more stimulating and challenging job. I worked on a Surgical Unit in CA for 6 mos post LPN graduation. Took a year off for our little one, moved here to CO and started working LTC because it was close to home. It's a nice place to...

What is 8A? Thanks in advance:)

I was enrolled at UOP LPN-BSN program and they are very disorganized. Unprofessional at times as well. I was really excited that there was no wait list (I moved to Denver from NO CA in 06/06)and chose to go to UOP. I just withdrew from the school thi...

Congrats!! That is excellent news. Best of luck!

Thank you for your responses. I will definately have to check out Denver Health soon. I was told by Carole Peters at FRCC Westminster that they haven't had any spaces for LPN to add into the 3rd semester ADN program in 2 years. She thought the Boulde...

The kindness and sweetness those special patients share with us stays close to our hearts and makes us remember why we became nurses. I hear, "You have such a nice smile, Thank You." all the time.

I appreciate this thread and all the great suggestions. I have never asked for a raise but have been thinking about it for awhile now. Thanks again!

I fired my midwife in my 36th week of prenancy because she wanted me to take this. I was having my 4th child and had had 3 nonmedicated, quick vaginal birth (less than 3 hrs for the first and less than 2 hours for the 2nd and 3rd children). I had ju...

That is so sad. I am sorry that happened to you. I have considered doing home health as an LPN and I may down the road; I enjoyed it as a HHA. But, I am new to CO and would like to get some more acute care experience. I am finding that difficult to ...

Ditto

They do have the program. I am currently a student at UOP, just completed Human Growth&Dev and A&P. It's a fairly new program 2-3 years, I believe. I too had recruiters tell me there was no such program. They DEFINATELY have lots of wrinkles...

Just found out that they postponed the beginning of our program. It was to begin on Tuesday June 19th! :angryfire Not sure what is going on yet.......

I believe so. I think it is either 6 mos or one year. I'll double check and post again when I know for sure.

:balloons: Congratulations!!! I am about to take a Hesi test prior to beginning the LPN-BSN program. I guess they want to see where we are at this point and perhaps may do a comparative test at the end??? They are calling it a 'critical thinking tes...

I begin my LPN-BSN program on June 19th. I am excited but nervous too. It's not a traditional program but it is through University Of Phoenix and it's still a fairly young program. I know there will probably be a few bumps along the way...hopefully ...

I have been attending UOP and start the LPN-BSN program in 1 week. I have 4 kids 14, 10, 7 and 1 1/2. I work 24 hours /week. So far it is going well. I wrote a 4500 word paper for Human Growth (due at the end of the 5 weeks) and the team presentatio...

That's great that you don't have alot of classes to take. Congrats on signing up. Hope that everything works out well for you. I am up at the Turnpike Campus in Westminster. Did you say you know a few people that are in the LPN-BSN at UOP? How do th...
