  1. Another CEN question

    Do the CEN Review 2 day courses come with a book?
  2. I also did the Pratt Community College LPN to RN Online program. I do know Butler CC and Hutchison CC each have online programs as well. May be worth checking into.
  3. Pratt community college

    tparks, we had some folks that were cheating in our class as well. It was extremely sad to haer this is still occuring. It's especially sad that it will affect future students who are in the program for it's convenience as well. Congrats on your up...
  4. Pratt community college

    I graduated Nov 2009. We had 2 ladies from Maryland in our class. They still had to travel to Kansas for the clinical portion. They were able to do their community health rotation in Maryland with a preceptor. We all did our community health rotation...
  5. anyone doing Pratt on line lvn to adn?

    A couple of weeks. I believe the transition course finishes up in the middle of Dec and the course starts the first week in Jan.. At least that's how it was when I did it. I graduated in 2009.
  6. Pratt CC online bridge January 2010

    They usually notify you if you've been accepted about a month prior to the transition course.. So, probably Nov you'll find out. The transition course starts in December. I graduated from this program in Nov. of 2009. Where are you located? I kn...
  7. EduKan

    I took Chem thru Edukan. I can tell you, for me personally, It was extremely difficult. I had a really hard time with this course. It was probably just me, but I really struggled. There was luckily enough of homework to help keep my grade above t...
  8. EduKan

    Yes, that is correct.
  9. Ok to write a dx when taking order from physician?

    IMO, that's not a true 'diagnosis' necessarily. That's more of a "reason" for the scan. It's needed for any type of scan to be ran. I think it's acceptable to write it in that manner.
  10. How soon can I work as a GPN?

    You are correct Heather. No more working as a GPN in the state of Kansas.
  11. EduKan

    In regards to the Micro.. I LOVED that class!! I did really well in that. I agree with Tparks in regards to the tests. Review what's available to you. Play around with the virtual lab program just for fun to figure it out. That's what I did. It r...
  12. EduKan

    I took all of my prereqs through EduKan. Including Chemistry. I struggled with Chem, passed with the C required. It may just be me, I just don't get Chemistry. It was difficult but you may do just fine. Carol Bonham is who my instructor was and s...
  13. Apply apply apply.. That's the best advice I have. If you want to work somewhere, then put in your application and hope it all works out! Good luck to you.
  14. Successful night shift stories...

    I LOVE LOVE LOVE the night shift!! Better pay, great hours, 3 nights a week. I work while my family is asleep, I see my kids and hubby off in the morning and pick them up from school. More time spent with my family. Love it!! And, so much fun some...
  15. Pratt community college

    I was still working on my pre-reqs when accepted into the program. They just have to be complete by the time the actual program begins. I didn't think it was too difficult to be accepted into the program.
  16. Pratt community college

    They're tough, I won't kid you there. Really use the study guides made available to you. They are so worth the time to use. But know they throw stuff in there that's not on the study guide. I reviewed my old study guides as well. The final isn't ...
  17. Not sure where in KS you are, but, I know Heartland Health in St. Joseph, MO has this type of assistance.
  18. IV certification?

    I 'think' Manhattan Tech does them. Check www.ksbn.org for quick information regarding who offers these classes.
  19. Pratt community college

    I graduated from this program in Nov. of 2009. It was a very good program I felt. Had its bumps, but what program doesn't. It sounds as though they may have implemented some new things. We were able to remediate every single test, which I think is...
  20. SOB and Chest Pain....

    Some ED's the physician is not in house, you do in fact have to contact them via phone, pager, etc.. Especially in smaller rural hospitals.
  21. Northeastern KS job market

    It's a small community hospital. All the local hospitals around us are Critical Access, 25 bed licensed. For the oncology units/clinics, you'll need to look in Topeka which is about 70miles north, and/or St. Joseph, MO which is about 60 miles (east...
  22. Northeastern KS job market

    Brown County area has some decent opportunities. It's not too far of a drive if you decide to live in Brown County but work out of town. There's a hospital, 1 nsg home, 2 hospices, and 1 assisted living in the hiawatha area. There are a couple mor...
  23. Pratt Community College offers an online program and financial aid. I am currently finishing up this program and used financial aid. It's a Kansas college but we have several of our students coming from Missouri.
  24. anyone doing Pratt on line lvn to adn?

    I'm finishing up my program with Pratt. I'll be graduating in 3 weeks!! Yay!! Overall it's been a great program! I feel as though I've learned TONS! You definitely will have to want your RN to do this and stick with it. It is time consuming, but wo...
  25. EduKan

    I think it is as long as you dedicate the time and effort into the course.
