    Additional certs for Nursing Assistants?

    KimberlyRN89 replied to somekindofstrange's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Maybe that is similar to a class I had to take when I was a CNA. I worked in assisted living, and the company I worked for made us all attend a 5-hour dementia class. At the end, we got

    Help, failed out of a nursing program last week

    KimberlyRN89 replied to rmiller12's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    :hug:I'm sorry that you had a rough semester. I've never failed out of a program, but I met quite a few people (including some of my instructors) who did. Do you have any LPN programs in your area? I...

    KimberlyRN89 replied to Nolander's topic in General Students

    Yup, there are a few ADN-MSN programs out there. I know of one program in my area, but their masters program is geared towards nurse education, not advanced practice nurse practitioners. Frontier...

    What's Your Attendance Policy?

    KimberlyRN89 replied to KatieJ91's topic in General Students

    We are only allowed to miss 10% of our class. We operate on 15-week trimesters, so 10% would be 1.5 days. A lot of people would slip through the cracks & miss a lot of days in lecture, b/c the...

    provisionally accredited LPN school

    KimberlyRN89 replied to besosdemariposa's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I think this is a question that you should ask the schools in North Carolina. I suggest e-mailing them or calling them to get clarification. I am also in the process of looking at LPN-RN programs (in...

    Did anybody else have this issue?

    Sorry you're having to go through this It probably could be transcripts, reviewing your background check, or possibly Pearson Vue could be the hold up as well. Wishing you a good

    Should a gay male LPN reveal his sexual orientation...

    KimberlyRN89 replied to LPNTO's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I don't think work is the place to discuss personal relationships with co-workers or patients, whether straight or gay. But that's me

    Nclex....where do i start???

    KimberlyRN89 replied to fayeface's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I agree that about Kaplan & Saunders. Also, since you mention your finances are tight, you should look into NCSBN online review. It is $50 for 3 weeks of

    KimberlyRN89 replied to zara ray's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Agree. I worked for my first 2 semesters in my LPN program, and by semester 3 I quit all my jobs. My reasoning was that I wanted to concentrate more on school..unfortunately during semester 2 I failed...

    KimberlyRN89 replied to Annachu512's topic in General Students

    You bring up a good point that I'm sure a lot of nursing students are struggling with. Nursing classes are totally different than A&P or Micro. Those classes are more like "rope memory". Nursing...
