Hello. I am in the process of getting my application process done for the LPN to RN bridge program at Rivier in Nashua, NH. Has anyone gone through this? My biggest question is about Clepping out of courses -- I have to take the NLN, and Clep out of ...

Hello. I am a new nurse. Graduated may 2011 and have been working in out patient pediatric/ family practice care since July. I am in the process of testing for NLN and other clep courses for my lpn to rn bridge. I originally have been looking into a ...

Oh wow. Ya after I posted that I started searching for other people's views and .. Most people said the same thing/ had similiar experiences. That is too bad!! Hopefully someday more local schools will do the bridge online ! Thank you for your input!

After you take the nclex.. how long does it take for your status to change from "pending" and if you fail does it change to something else or continue to stay pending until you do pass an exam. Also, if i did not pass the nclex.. do i have to wait 4...

How can this work if you state doesnt allow quick results.. Like New Hampshire. and on the NH board of nursing website they state "you can reapply to take the test with pearson 45 days from test". That sounds like the trick wouldnt work for NH test t...

What was your time frame for completing the exma. Or when it shut off. I realize numbers of questions you get does not matter. But it took me a little over an hour. And when I completed the women who was monitoring the place.. she says "wow you are a...

Curious, I did the same thing.. I didnt over stress about time -- Just took the test to my ability and at my normal pace. It was just funny -- this women knows im taking a stressful test and says "WOW that was fast". Of course she probably ment well ...

Im searching for some information on the affects of nursing approach on patients. How a nurses harsh or nuturing approach can actually change how the patients status may worsen or improve. I've been searching for an article or something talking about...

I've been searching under "affects of nursing approach" "nursing personalities" I look under that theory too thank you.

I have not everything.. but so far; Really bad cdiff mad me gag (good thing i had a mask on and didnt make any noise) and trach suction is just.. EW. Teeth falling out bothers me.. And Dont even get me started with maggots. IF/when i ever experience ...

They will take prior credits. Just have your transcripts, it has to be within a certain amount of time too ( 5 years) that you have taken those course that you wanted credit for.

you make a good point. I often will see people in scrubs at the grocery store.. and i think its "ehh". I mean what if they just got off a shift.. and really, they do daily stuff in their scrubs after patient care, the general sick atmosphere they wor...

I do everytime. Whether I work a 4hr, 8hr, or 12hr shift.. I get home; leave my shoes at the door and take a shower.

Im going into the senior year for LPN. Its a good school, small, which allows you to quickly get comfortable with the teachers and get to know everyone. Good Luck!!

So I dont know if there is anyone who is from southern NH or knows the area. But I have a question about their program, I cant seem to get a straight answer. St. Joseph School Of Nursing offers a Practical Nursing Program & an Associate of scienc...

Once you complete the first semester, with a passing grade. You are eligiable for your LNA. All you have to do is have the school send your grade over to the state and then you get your license. thats what I did. And believe LNA experience will be go...

Are you excited to start? Congrats! So far i like the program, there are alot of great teachers in the PN program. Its a small school so once you get adjusted you'll realize how easy it is to get help or support from the staff. I wasnt an LNA before ...

Thanks SJSmith. Its kind of an old post.. But i have an update! I ended up going into St. Joes PN program, Im graduating Aprill 2011. Im still undecided whether or not to do their PN to RN program after working the year or go to Rivier. Are you in t...

i opened it with my eyes closed.. tightly that is.. and was afraid to look for a good five minutes. lol. But then i opened it and realized i was good! And I was very excited, overwelmed, and just happy! And im now just finishing my first year. You ha...

ditto. im on the same page as you.. Im completely drained. And on top of it all my clinical teacher is making my last few weeks of clinical a nightmare. ugh. Im just ready for this semester to be done. We just have to "keep swimming" only 4 more wee...

Thank you to everyone who took the time to read my post.. share their personal stories.. and give any input or advice. It means a lot to me and you all have helped clear up my confusion.

Hello. So I want to start by saying when I renewed my license when I was 21, I marked the "check" to become an organ donor. I felt i was doing a positive thing.. and after all if its my time to go then so be it.. and i hope i can help someone along t...
