1. Graduated from a vocational school?

   momma2twnz replied to momma2twnz's topic in LPN/LVN Students

   The school I am looking into also stated they had 3 students out of the 36 that waited 6+ months to take the NCLEX, which affects their reporting results. I appreciate the feedback on the public/government schools, but there are NO free standing LPN...

   Have you tried Danskos? They are amazing! I'm on my feet all day now and I love them. My mom is a nurse and swears by these too. Pricey but so well worth it. You have to get the original ones...no fakes. (Try them on in a store first before you order...

   momma2twnz replied to momma2twnz's topic in LPN/LVN Students

   Thank you for you insight! I definately think that a vocational school is the way to go for me. Our Community Colleges do not have free-standing LPN programs. You have to complete all the pre-reqs (45 credits) and apply to the Nursing Program. We do...

   Thank you for your response! I checked w/ PP. They do have a few online programs that accept their credits. I think I will take the pre-reqs at a Community college just as a back up. It's good experience in any case.

   As a mom to 3 children (including 1 year old twins), I do not think you are being selfish. I think you are being pro-active. I have a very dear fried who is almost done w/ her BSN. Her DH made great money. They had everything they needed and more. Sh...

   How many of you have attended this type of school (Pioneer Pacific, Apollo, Concorde) to get you LPN training? I'm looking into the program, but it has only received initial approval in my state. How difficult is it to get in? (Our nursing programs ...
