  4. Nethmzd I attended lcc lpn 2 rn program in 2009. Ask any ? U have and I will do my best.
  5. i generally do not make a habit of saying that I am a nurse because my being a nurse should not change the way that any health care professonal handles their job. Not to say that I wouldn't do it if...

    1. How many questions did you take on NCLEX? 75 (NCLEX RN) 2. What study materials did you use? Did you take a test review course? Mostly Saunders, and No I did not do review course 3. Did your SON...
  7. Opinions, Is this illegal?

    Thanks Caliotter for pointing out that indeed that is what these are... opinions. I work for Amedisys, as a RN case manager. I am not a cheerleader for Amedisys , however, the office I work for is...
  8. Part of being a good nurse RN or otherwise is researching a topic if you don't know the answer off the top of your head. You are a RN it doesn't make you a doctor, or a psychic! Give yourself a...
  9. Cna challenge lpn boards

    I have a problem with this statement as a whole, though parts may be true. I would like to say that I started as a CNA for about 5 years, went to school for my LPN worked for 13 years as an LPN before...
  10. How long did you study for NCLEX RN?

    Graduated 8-20-09. Tested 09-24-09. Wasn't terribly focused on studying until after 09-01-09. Studied about 2 hours a day on avg and did at least 75 questions a day. Saunders, exam cram, incredibly...
  11. SAUNDERS, all you need? HELP!!

    Personally I used anything that I could get my hands on, but that's just me! I passed my RN boards 09-24-09. Saunders 4th edition was my main book, but I also used exam cram, incredibly easy, and...
  12. Amedisys

    I have worked for Amedisys for almost 3 years now. I have never been shot.:stone:chuckle Started as an LPN( they are the only hh agency here that uses LPN) They helped me with tuition reimbursement...
  13. :chuckle I am Giddy with relief. I did the attempt to re-register @ pearson vue about 3 hours after my NCLEX RN on Sept 24 and got the now infamous "contact your member board" pop-up, a classmate...
  14. LPN to RN Lower Columbia College

    Patty 02 I am a recent grad of the LPN 2 RN program at LCC. It is fast paced and not for the faint of heart for sure. I did my clinicals at St John's Peace Health in Lovgview(though they sites in...
  15. I don't live there, but haven't heard a lot about racist activity. If you do the onlie option, you do not have to go to Longview for morse than a few weeks if you choose to do clinicals in one of the...
  16. Lower Columbia

    quilted star. I do work full time as a home health nurse and spend probably 3-5 hours daily on my schoolwork(more on weekends as I don't work weekends). It can be overwhelming, but I ask myself: how...
  17. Lower Columbia

    I don't know if you have heard anything back but wanted to let you know what I know. I am currently a student in the LPN to RN program @ LCC. I understand there are 40 positions available, and you...
  18. Lost one

    It appears that you were meeting the needs of your patient to the best of your ability. There are some things in life that you have no control over: this is one of those things. You checked on your...
  19. i failed 2nd semester, i need some guidance

    I would certainly look harder at the difficult topics, the topics that you were comfortable and knowledgable in would have no need to go over them again. Outlining is great for self study as far as I...
  20. Most colleges that offer a full nursing program will allow a LPN to "bridge" into the program as long as the requirements are met and there is room. I know my LPN summer clinicals we had at least two...
  21. When do you plan on applying? they have a part time and full time option both with the same clinical rotation in spring/ summer. Part time takes 1.5 years and FT is one year. i suggest you look @ the...
  22. They outline quite clearly what they require for acceptance into the program. My friend A had all her requirements and got her spot right away, but another LPN I work w/ and I needed to take some...
  23. I am enrolled and start in just a couple of weeks. You have to have worked 1000 hours as a LPN in order to apply for a spot. It is distance learning for the most part, but you have to go to Longview...
  24. Male Chest Hair and Scrub Tops

    i love this thread! Ok.. Hairy chest.... fan of manscaping, but don't think t's should be a requirement unless doing a lot of sterile field procedures etc. Does it look more professional, probably,...
  25. 1 year in and I cannot do bedside anymore!

    I think almost any kind of nursing has it's own unique sets of challenges, and we all get frustrated. Have you looked into home health? The pay is decent, you have some flex with your hours and you...
