  1. Hi all, I have been reading this forum for a while...and wanted to officially join. I have been a LPN for 23 years and have been going back to school that long. In fact, when I started, at the local...
  2. :monkeydance:I have been going back to school a little at a time. So long, that they are telling me I have lost some of my credits because of lenth of time, etc. Has this ever happened to anyone else?...
  3. So now I am doing a little shopping and such. It seems as though Jtcc has a every other weekend (Fri, SAt and Sun) class set up. Is this staight instruction? Is it with the Commonwealth on line...
  4. Does Grief Counseling hurt people?

    I so agree with TeleRNer. Years ago we hung a wreath on the door, stopped our clocks, covered mirrors and wore black for a solid year. There may have been something to that. Today I see people...
  5. Compare/contrast Bon Secour Vs Jtcc

    not to be dumb, but what does that mean? They have new classes more often? I reallly appreciate your
  6. A few posts back someone pointed out the fact that we all have bias in our professions. I can give you the opposite of the abortion issue. I know a couple who are having their 11th child. Dad works...
  7. This is not meant to be anything but what it is; a real question. Maybe a philosophical one at that. Why do I see so many posts with students having NO idea if they passed the NCLEX? Yes, I am just...
  8. Why dont YOU wear a helmet??

    UMMMM, I have to agree. Choice or not. I would not call myself safely conscious if I hardly ever wore a seatbelt. It's the same thing I see all the time in the summer......really daily: adults...
  9. Why dont YOU wear a helmet??

    Yea, my hubby and I are friends with another married couple. They are funeral directors, and embalmers. Point being, when ever we go out with them and we see someone on a motorcycle, helmet or NOT,...
  10. But again, it's about choice. Suppose you don't want to work in LTC? Should you have to get your RN to go into peds or OB? I think it is JACOHA, and politics in

    P.S. have you finished your RN?

    :balloons:yes, actually it is the best one for me. I am enrolled in a bunch of gen eds. this fall and they even offer many on line. I really appreciate your

    PVCC-Piedmont Virginia Community College- is in Charlottesville, Va. Almost exactly in central Va. I guess I got in a huff, because they would not give me credit for some of the classes that I have...
  14. The WAIT is over. I passed !!!!!!!!!!!!

    :balloons:I am really happy for
  15. NCLEX-Big Picture question?????

    I know I am beating a dead horse here, but it just seems wrong. I wonder if all professions are like that? Is passing the bar the same, in terms of schooling,being testing on your knowledge etc? It's...
  16. I hear you sister! It happened here in Virginia. Back when I became an LPN (23 years ago) UVA had LPNs on every floor. ALL floors, L&D, NICU etc. I was hired to work "little peds" 0-6 year...
  17. NCLEX-Big Picture question?????

    not to sound like a five year old, but why? Why is the test designed that
  18. Anyone ever "lost" credits at a community college?

    Do you suggest a web site for CLEP info? BTY, did I mention that I fell and broke my fifth metarsal, left foot, and right patella? Right now the computer is my
  19. I thought this might help to answer my other post since I don't have a response yet. It would help me to know how far others have driven in time and or distance to school. Thanks in
  20. Compare/contrast Bon Secour Vs Jtcc

    The main difference that I have found is that some programs require a microbiology class and some don't. Sometimes, also a one credit class here and there. Some will make CPR a credit class, etc. I...
  21. Compare/contrast Bon Secour Vs Jtcc

    :idea:I live in central Va so JTCC is about an hour one way where as Petersburg is just too far. I would like something that would take what credits I have and be student friendly, and I could attend...
  22. Compare/contrast Bon Secour Vs Jtcc

    I appreciate that. It may be JTCC for me. I have a few gen eds. already.
  23. What's The Farthest You've Traveled To School?

    so what kind of programs are you in?
  24. "Confessional?"

    You are reallly in a jam---unless you hold to patient accountable. For example stating that you will keep his/her confidence, you are bound to do so, but that you are required by law to report it to...
  25. Myriad of questions from the newbie...

    no matter what I would say get your gen.eds out of the way....that way you are more flexible if you have to
