    junebug62 replied to nckdl's topic in LPN to RN

    Hey, I have been going back since 1982 so don't feel bad at all. I would just say don't do what I did and have more than 5 years in between classes. I have lost some credits due to

  3. What's The Farthest You've Traveled To School?

    junebug62 replied to junebug62's topic in Virginia Nursing

    I appreciate it. The closest school is about 25 mins. from me. BUT, they require more classes, and won't give me credit for some classes I have already taken. (See other post in lpn to Rn students)...

  4. Anyone ever "lost" credits at a community college?

    junebug62 replied to junebug62's topic in LPN to RN

    Great point. The nursing program folks at the CC here(in Va) are- lets just say-not helpful, sometimes, even hostile. I guess the private school folks have to be nice. Thanks again. It offers another...

    junebug62 replied to junebug62's topic in LPN to RN

    possible I guess. At this point though I am getting worn down. It's enough to make you crazy. Besides I really don't know much about the CLEPs. What can you tell me?

  8. No I wouldn't recommend nursing

    junebug62 replied to manuelvillanueva's topic in Nursing Career

    I love nursing and have been a nurse for 23 years. To me, nursing is so flexible. What to help but don't really like the one on one? Go in to the OR, they are sleep most of the time, but you are...

    junebug62 replied to gynot's topic in Virginia Nursing

    Yep, everyone gets a monitor, and an IV. I worked for two midwives in Cville, when they had Birth Center of the Blue Ridge. No more of that. Although the irony is I was a 26 weeker with preeclampsia...

  10. Anyone ever "lost" credits at a community college?

    junebug62 replied to junebug62's topic in LPN to RN

    You know, I don't know why this bugs me so:o because I am now down to quibbling over one credit. However, I have already taken the same class and had three credits for the one that is now ONE credit....

  11. Anyone ever "lost" credits at a community college?

    junebug62 replied to junebug62's topic in LPN to RN

    junebug62 replied to lisa41rn's topic in Pediatric

    I agree with the z trac. The problem too is if kido is scared/moving and you don't have a good holder, then good luck getting it in the right area. Securing the child for it's own safety is...

  17. Are Dansko shoes really that great?

    junebug62 replied to Nrs2bE09's topic in General Students

    I also noticed that someone purchased a used pair. The only thing about that is that each foot is different and they do tend to mold to each individual. So if you don't like the used pair it may be...
