    Trophywife81 posted a topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Hi all.... I know this topic has probably been around before, but I was hoping some of you seasoned LPNs could comment on what you think about the future of LPN/LVN nursing. I'm planning to enter LVN...

  4. Clinic job??

    Trophywife81 replied to shine123's topic in General Nursing

    What about nursing, exactly, IS glamorous? Nursing is one of the least glamorous professions I can think of. The beauty of office nursing is the high-quality patient teaching you can...

  9. Tech saying they are a nurse

    Trophywife81 replied to nursebrandie28's topic in General Nursing

  10. Should I go for LVN or RN

    Trophywife81 replied to want2banurse09's topic in General Nursing

    I have yet to see an LVN program that requires chemistry as a pre-req. If chemistry is not your thing (as it sounds like it isn't :/ ), then going through an LVN program will allow you to become a...

    Trophywife81 replied to kgard7777's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I have a Bachelor's degree with a double major in English and history. It's a very "useless" degree! Thus after being frustrated with my limited options in using that degree, I went to LVN school and...

  19. Extremely HARD TEST

    Trophywife81 replied to Trophywife81's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Exactly. What was the point of my hard work in NS if no amount of studying could have prepared me for that dreadful exam??? The test was just a mind game. I worked hard in school, and feel like I...

    Trophywife81 replied to mah2008's topic in General Nursing
