Hello I plan on aplying for fall 08 LPN program at a privite college near me. Now they have no prereqs. How you get in is based on a point system, certifiactes obtained, Net test, employmemt in healthcare, and classes taken. From what Im told around ...

Thats some good information guys! Thanks alot, that is great to know about the science classes.

Thanks, Well I have thought of that. But I was told that classes stay good only for 5 years. I think it will be longer than that before I go onto RN. I need my Kiddos to be older. I would hate to take courses only to have them wasted.

Im going to asume your wanting to go through Rn program. You could settle for the LPN program. Do that for a few years then transfer to Rn when things get a little less sticky. By the time your done with school you could of been a doctor lol. Most LP...

Your not too old!!!! Go for it, I know around here MA's dont make anything, they go to school for 2 years and only make $8-$10 an hour!!. Lpn's around here start out around $15 straight out of 1 year of school. I have asked several people I know in t...

that is just rude to say to anyone.

Yes I was curious if we get to use a calc? Also why 1 1/2 min per question? I figured its timed but I have NEVER taken a test where time was a concern. Is your time really that constricted? Or better yet how long for how many questions?

Sounds like what I went through a few months ago. I left a nursing home for a independent care facility and love it. Most people are falls risks but I have ony 9 PTs to care for as opposed to 28 before. I too had more PTs than anyone else the nurse n...

With me a seed got planted when I was about 16. I was working in the dietary dept in a local nursing home. I loved what little interaction I got with the residents. I seen how the CNA's had all the hands on with them and I wanted that. I latter found...

Yep for sure we have 29 residents and 1 RN 4 LPN's. I wonder who passed Meds there? Someone has to give it to them.

In Chattanooga Tn LPN's starts out making $14-$15 Hr. RN's $18-$19 Hr. Which is good, our cost of living here is very low. You have choice of 2 schools one will cost you $3,000 and the other $7,000 for the year.

Maybe you should consider changing the field you work in. I work in a assisted living and its great. All the nurses are happy and most the patients are like family. The pay is a little lower for nurses and cna's but may be worth the hassle. I worked ...

Hi I was wandering what average do you have to keep in order to stay in the nursing program? The school I plan to attend is a 81. I was reading on here that alot of people make in the 80's in nursing school. Barely hanging on like that would be So ...

Well I wish ours would lower it a bit, 81 is up there. As far as I know there is no trying tests again either.

Ok I was told that you could only take the NCLEX once if you fail you have to take the course again. but I see alot of people on here that say they are taking it again in 45 days? P.s My ignorance shows Im not in school yet but have been studying a N...

I keep hearing about how hard LPN school is. What can someone expect from going full time mon-fri. How different is it from say High school. I mean we went to School Mon-Friday, 8 hr a day, took home alot of information, came home studied, and did ho...

I was thinking a hour each day would be fine. But now Im told that I probably will need more. Here is how my schedule would be. Get home from school at 4:00 Study from 4-5( Hubby and kids get home then) 5-6 Cook and eat dinner 6-8 Study again 8-9 Gi...

Hello Im currently taking cna classes. In a couple years my youngest son will be in school and I plan on starting school for my LPN license. My question is what can I be studying until then? I called the school I plan on going to and asked if they co...

Yes I know of a lot of people grandparent that pitch in. We dont have anyone but ourselves I wish my parents would pitch in. I cant count on my mom for anything unfortunately She lives just down the street, we rarely see her. My dad will watch them ...

was your kids already in school when you was going to school yourself? i think i might have to wait till my oldest gets in preschool before i can go i cant afford to pay childcare and not work. i dont plan on working and going to school.

You think 3 hrs a day to put aside to study Aside from the 8 hrs at school! Lets see. Get home from School at 4:00 Study 4:00-5:00 Then cook and eat dinner 5:00-6:00. 6:00-8:00 Study again. 8:00-9:00 Give baths and socialise with family. I would have...

Thanks for the insight. I actually like to study lol. When my youngest takes his nap during the day thats what I do, and I actually look foward to it! I have it all planned out when I do start. I get out of class at 3:30 Ill be home by 4. Ill study f...

Is there any drawbacks to this? The other school has several and its extremely hard to get into. Even after you take the pre req

now im wandering if anyone else didn't need any prereq?

Thanks for all the great advice! The school I plan on attending doesnt have any Pre Req. Now there is another school in the area and they have you take a butt load of prereqs. The course is 1 year. you have to maintain a 81 to continue through. I wa...
