  1. LNA Questions!

    DreamyEyes replied to NursingStudent18's topic in General Nursing

  3. 12 hour shifts?

    DreamyEyes posted a topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Hello LPN's! I was just wondering...I've been hearing a lot about LPN's and RN's who work 3 12 hour shifts...and then have 4 days off. Do most LPN's do this? Or are there some that work 5 8 hour...

  4. CNA to LPN

    DreamyEyes replied to Knorremeisje's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    DreamyEyes replied to JaxiaKiley's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  13. Were you accepted on your first try?

    DreamyEyes replied to DreamyEyes's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    DreamyEyes replied to GottaGetIn's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Thanks for the info! I've always scored really high on reading/writing tests, so I hope I'll do fine... Just a little nervous about the math part, though. However, I'm taking Statistics right now...
