It depends where you are going to school. When I took my entrance exam, they had us write a paragraph on why we wanted to become an LPN. So when I passed the test and went on to the 'interview' it...
You will be fine. Won't you shadow someone for a couple days? And they know you are a new nurse so they will be willing to answer your questions...right? I think you will do fine, just relax and...

That is not true. More and more work facilities are becoming smoke free and not allowing smoking within a certain footage of the grounds of the facility. I once worked for a facility that would not...
Now I am scared. I do not want to HOPE that I work with kind enough people to show me how to insert a foley or something! What If I work with a bunch of jerks who want to see the newbie
Just starting school myself but wanted to tell you I am sorry. It must be heart breaking...you put in a lot of hard work, it doesn't seem fair. Hang in there and try, try
Other than the things that are required by the school to purchase(stethoscope, uniforms, etc.) what would you recommend for studying? Anything you were not required to purchase that really helped the...
Hello! I am enjoying your posts and experiences as I too will be starting LPN school in April. I have one question for you as it will help me understand whether or not we will have the same joys...
I did not do much studying except brush up on Algebra. Thank God my husband is a Mathlete!!! LOL He helped me with basic Algebra and it was enough to get me through the math portion of the test....

Because there are people like myself who are not 100% sure that they were BORN to be a nurse and starting as an LPN is a good indication of what lies ahead. Because not EVERY person who choses to be...
I will be in the same boat as you (with three kids) come April! I am excited and scared as well...but don't doubt yourself momma!! People who question you are probably jealous that they have not gone...
I am a soon -to- be nursing student with a CNA background and witnessed something that made me go hmmmmm...? I went to visit a family member on an ICU unit (I will not say where) and had to follow...
(I am starting LPN school in April with the idea I MAY go on to RN...maybe not.) I have had similar responses... It appeared most of the comments came from young students with little real workplace...
I totally agree. I just ASSUMED I would wear all white when in nursing school, and possibly afterwards. Some of the new styles and cuts of the printed scrubs are tacky IMO ~and I am not elderly....
I worked as a CNA for years and then made my way to a Unit Secretary. I enjoyed it very much. Be prepared for the negative co-workers who will be jealous. I got a lot of flack from the CNA's even...
Hello all! I am not a student yet, but I have taken my entrance test and should hear around Christmas if I am accepted! I am looking forward to getting to 'know' you all and have someone to consult on...
