Hello- I'm looking for some help. I've been a LPN for 6 years, my sciences are 8 years old. Indiana State University will accept these science classes. It would take me lets say from this date, around 3 years to complete the degree. If I attended Excelsior College, it would take me less time, but I'd have to re-do my science classes, it would take less time. But i'd have to repeat the science courses, which I dread! Can anyone advise me what I should do? Thanks,

I would love to see your phase 2 and 3

I'm wondering and trying to find information on.. I'm living in South Carolina, I was originally hopeful to take ISU clinicals in North Carolina, but I have heard just recently that they are no longer accepting ISU in North Carolina, so now I'm looking at Georgia as an option. Anyone have any information on possible living in one state and taking clinicals in another state? Thanks

Hello- I have been with Excelsior for several years now. And have just recently got on track to start taking the exams. Unfortunately, my A&P and Micro are now to old, and must be retaken. Please someone tell me whats the best way to meet this requirement? I've seen so many different ways. I'd like to save money and such. Is it to just go through Excelsior? Or have people had better luck with other options? Thanks in advance!

Thats weird. I graduated from the LPN program in December of 08. Loved the program it had ups and downs. But my graduating class all passed their NCLEX. as well as the semester before us. I wonder what happened. Good to know for others though. Could really effect their program for sure.

I hadn't heard that. Thats interesting. When did this happen do you know?

Well thats sad. I loved going to Owens. I have since moved to Cleveland, so I won't be going back to Owens for my RN. I did go to the Findlay campus. I'm not sure if that makes a big difference.

I graduated from Owens in Fall of 08 as an LPN started in Jan. I actually didn't wait at all. i Applied in October and got in Jan. I did have my prereq done however. And I had heard for the fall they still had opening a few weeks before. you shouldn't really have many problems. I loved the Owens program. I admit tat some of the teachers were very tough. But you have that in any program.

I took my test in March. i applied for 3 different jobs, and actually had 2 job offers from those 3 interviews. I accepted one. I find that most of my classmates were in the same position. I'm an LPN.

I graduated in december... on the 12th. I wasn't able to take my licensing test until march 10th. The reason, My school took a month to send in my grades. Than they have to review to approve. Most of my classmates were in the same boat. I was lucky however to find out in 2 days, and I accepted a job the same day.

I had so many priority questions.. It was horrible.. Good luck.. I'm in your boat with you. I got done at 86... And I'm just not sure...

Mine stopped at 86.. took it today.. it took me an hour to get through.. so nerve racking right now...

I'm a new LPN in the Golden/Boulder area. I can't seem to find any jobs. Does anyone know what I can do about this? It's strange, I moved from Ohio and there were jobs everywhere for LPNs. Any advice?

Does anyone know of any LPN-RN programs in the Golden area?? I seem to be having horrible luck finding a program. I'm living in the Golden area, don't mind having to go into Denver but it seems like there's plenty of LPN programs and BSN but not many LPN-Rn? Thanks!

I'm currently looking for LPN positions for new grads. I'm graduating in December and moving out to be with my man. We are already stationed in Central City. I'm having horrible luck figuring out which hospitals will accept LPN. Does anyone have a clue?

I really wouldn't suggest working tons. You really need to be perpared in case you can't work as much as you'd like. My program was super rough, most of our students who started working full time couldn't do it, they had to drop a few days. It really depends on your program, if your program isn't really rough and you can learn quickly you are better off. I would suggest asking work to let you work weekends 12 hour shifts. The last thing you want to happen is not to be successful because you worked more than you studied.

I start on the 18th as well... but for me i finish in December of this year.. 2 very rough semester are down 1 left. so excited. Clinicals are so freaky... but everyone is literally in the same boat no one has really experienced it before, or the teachers or anything. So don't worry everyone feels that way. The clinicals are much better than classes..:)

Hello- I'm entering the Owens Community College LPN program in Findlay in January. Does anyone know anything about the program? Graduated from it or anything?

Really? Why is a horrible hospital if you don't mind me asking?

Hello everyone, I'm wondering does anyone work at Alliance Community Hospital? Or know anything about it? I'm looking at possible moving to Alliance and don't know much about the hospital so any advice would be great. Thanks Ashley

I've worked in 2 different cities as a STNA.. one near the Findlay Ohio area.. Making 10.15 an hour. And I worked in Medina Ohio near Cleveland and made 9.50 an hour. I found a nursing home that would pay for my schooling and even paid me while I was taking the classes.
