Nethmzd I attended lcc lpn 2 rn program in 2009. Ask any ? U have and I will do my best. Meems

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 I thought it would help.

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 offer any testing (ERI, ATI, HESI)? ATI in last ...

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 excellent and our DOO is a caring and medicare con...

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 break! I am sure you learned something in nursing scho...

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 finally deciding to get my RN. I got good grades ...

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 easy, and LaCharity(prioritization/delegation) wer...

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 prioritization book by Lacharity. If you can't affo...

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 and I start with them as a RN on Monday. They have l...

: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 took it the same day and got the cc page. Found out w...

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 Vancouver, Renton, and Olympia as well) My friend a...

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 other offered cities such as Portland, Vancouver,...

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 bad do I want it? I want this. B-A-D! I still ...

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 can do full time (takes a year) or part time(takes 1...

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 patient , assessed and met the needs as appropriat...

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 am concerned. But you have to be able to apply wha...

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 who had to go through clinicals with us to bridge ...

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 programs required chem andMicro, and complete them...

I know the RNs @ the HH agency I work for are expected to have 25 visits or more per week if they work full time. Admits count for 2 visits, recerts are 1.5 visits. We have not done PPV for nursing due to a RN union, but are anticipating moving to t...

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 courses before we were accepted. I suggest you get all...

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 for about 9 weeks in the late spring and all of sum...

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, does it MAKE a nurse more professional. NO! As an en...
