I find it interesting you said "make good friends...." sounds like my nursing educators talking to us while in NS. I remember at least 3 of my nursing educators told us at separate times that the best way to get help from the CNAs in your unit is to ...

:nurse:Isadoragag Congratulations on passing:balloons:

I agree that it depends on where you live. Most job ads where I live are asking for current CPR certification as well as pharm and infusion certifications.

Splendid! I agree not bad at all for a regular job:smiletea2:

I like the hands-on experience, along with the opportunity to do patient teaching. Being a LPN has given me the opportunity to finally call myself a nurse, and yes pagandeva we are NURSES:) The career advancement for me is an added bonus... sometimes...

Ogopogo, sounds like this care-aid needs some help in understanding the educational patterns in nursing. You will be surprise how many healthcare workers/providers don't understand the patterns either. This reminds me of my OB clinical, myself and 3 ...

Yes you are NURSE! :nurse:Kelly congratulations:balloons:

I agree with your comments. I see the same connection with pharm

:balloons:Congrats on passing Nurse:pumpiron:

I have to say that I agree that my LPN is dehumanizing, I find this as a common statement when some RNs are conversing, even in public seminars to say the least. No, on here I was just making a mockery of those RNs who choose such words not meant to ...

I really think is unfair how you can draw conclusions to my posting. If you read my opening remarks carefully, I indicated that though the posting was a year old that I see the same events happening today. Again words like "my LPNs" are open to many ...

Hi Caliotter, your suggestions seems right perhaps it won't work for all ads though, not sure which ones lauraflowers was refering to... however, the job ad I recently interviewed for had the same type of terminology and said "no calls." Again, I thi...

Copperhorset, though your post may be a year old but I see what you described in your post today as a new LPN. I have to say that I totally agree with your comments and wish that many RNs can come out like you. I'm actually a BSN RN student but decid...

Hi laura, I ran into a similar situation while interviewing recently. Here's what I got from my interviewer as per the weekend only program. You will have Monday through Friday off. Then, you will be required to work two 16 hour shifts, I believe one...

Congratulations to you on passing patho Thanks for sharing. I kinda figure it would not be as described by the sales person, not that I mean he tried to mislead me, lets just say I didn't believe the questions at the back of the module would suffice,...

mhr, thanks for sharing! Yes, I only have patho & gerontology to take, this is simply because I had already taken the other prereqs from my local cc and univ., getting into a program was tough even with good gpa's, because seats are limited. Each...

Just wanted to say thank you for this post. I think is very informative. I met with a TCN sales person today... though I didn't sign up yet. The information from this post, helped me to understand the program better. The TCN sales person was amazed a...

Hi Kathryn, how's patho going? I had an appointment with the TCN sales person today, I didn't sign up yet, still thinking if I should or not. Well, after going through the list for the required gen ed., I think I need to complete Gerontology and Path...

Sorry you had so much trouble... I hope it works out!

I understand your situation with the wall clock thing while doing a speech, a former classmate from college said she had the same problems while she tested with TCN, she's in the army, so I don't know if she passed or not either. I read a post in the...

Sounds like you have no problems getting accepted ... don't know anyone that get's turned away with a 4.0:) Thanx for sharing!

:balloons:Congratulations NURSE:smiley_aa

Thanks Chaxanmom! I read in one of your posts that you already sent your portfolio, and was just wondering if you've been accepted into the program, or heard anything you would like to share with us. Did you take the TEAS yet? I'm supposed to be meet...

Awesome.... thanx for this posting:thankya:

Wow... this information surely answers some of my concerns for this program. Thanks for this posting, LucyLPN. I am interested in this program. Like you, I completed most of my science and art courses in my community college and some I completed in a...
