can i transition from lpn to rn via college network in maryland?

I passes both my written and skills today. I did hand washing, perineal care, transfer from bed to wheelchair, respirations and denture care. next step lpn school which start in march.

sshannon, what u said got me thinking about the rn program so i went online and found out that i can take most of my pre reqs on line so what i am planning on doing is go down to the community college and apply so i can start taking classes on line and still spend some time with my baby. What do u think?

Thanks 4 the input.... lpn in maryland is 1 yr whereas rn is like 3 yrs with pre reqs. I want to start making the money after one year then i can do the lpn to rn bridge.

Just a quick update.... I read everybodys post and i decided to adhere to it. I will put off lpn school until march 08, thank you to all who responded it is greatly appreciated. I learn a lot from this site, it is just unbelieavable that a website like this exist... thanks to the founder, the moderators and all the wonderful resgistered users may God bless u all.

thats funny

1. How many schools did you apply to? 1 2. Which school was your number one choice? Udc 3. Where were you accepted? still waiting 4 result 4. Which school did you end up going to?

thank you i will go shopping for that this afternoon.

I will be starting lpn school in fall but right now i am in a cna program, clinical start in 2 weeks. Where do i get the peppermint oil thta you guys are talking about please..... i do not like to smell anything that is not pleasant... please help

I think u should go with ur gut. It is really not about the money in Nursing .... It is about compassion and making a difference in peoples lives.

Hats off to the Nicu Nurses.

does anyone know if hospitals in Md hire cna without experience and if yes how much? thanks

hello, i am getting my cna lic. in a few days i just wanted to know does hospitals hire cna with no prior experiences.

university of the district of columbia offers lpn classes. It is highly competetive. i am starting mine this september.

go for it. i am in the process of staring lpn class as well and i plan tp work at least 33 hours a week so i can contribute something towards our bills.

congratulation nurse.:balloons: :roll

I am in the process of getting certified as a cna as well in p.g county. I was just thinking to myself today if hospitals hire cna that has no prior experience. i went to take pre entrance exam at u.d.c for the lpn program that starts in september i am waiting for the result for that one as well. please let me know if you find some hospitals that cnas with no experience please.

Thanks a lot for that.

thank you guys for the reply. I have a wonderful husband that really helps me out with the baby, i get like 7 hours of uninterrupted sleep everyday which is awesome. i have an international B.sc in finance so it does not really help that much in transffering credits. I believe i can do it i just needed some encouragement.

I read this post from when it started.congratulations to all who passed .myself will start lpn class this september in maryland and i am really nervous about it because i just had my baby this april and i am just wondering if i could do it. I went to take the pre entrance exam yesterday at the university that i will be attending and i amwaiting for that result. I am praying that i pass. good luck and God bless everyone.

of course u know what to do.....run

Thank you for that link. I guess as lpn u have to strive to become Rn since that is where the most shortages are gonna be

what about maryland?

Wow! This is really interesting, I have no idea that u could choose a speciality as a lpn.

thanks to all who responded it is greatly appreciated. My husband and i have no family here so we have to do it alone unless they grant my mom and mother inlaw visas then i will be really glad. My baby is really healthy she has no health issues at all. she eats every 4 hours so i will be able to get some sleep between feeds. the reason why i want to work full time is to be able to get health insurance for the family, my husband is self employed . i believe i can do it i worked 2 jobs and went to school full time while i was getting my bachelors degree.
