did you get fulltime yet?

Okay, I have a quick update. Indiana State called me back like hours after posting this.... but time got the best of me getting back to you all... and told me that the VA is a site and clinicals have been done at Bridgeport hospital. I called the V...

Hi everyone! Is anyone going to the Indiana State University LPN to BSN program? I noticed they have 3 clinical sites, one at Bridgeport Hospital, VA Hospital in West Haven, and one in Torrington. I am trying to get Griffin to participate, but when...

Hi, I am graduating this Friday for the evening program at Abbott Tech. I just wanted to say, I have books for sale that are still good and are the same editions. I and my 22 classmates have books for sale. private email me. I will be busy this w...

I would like to know as well....

I know I am coming in on the tail end of this, but there are MA's in our hospital in the ER. In fact the thing that bothers me is you cant tell the LPNs, RNs from the MAs. The hospital no longer employs CNAs, just MAs. But after reading this threa...

correct, no disection or additional book or kit.

Hi, I took ap1 and ap2 from Clovis. It was a good class. Basically the way labs are done are thru more questions to be answered. Critically thinking is needed to complete this part. The professor is very accessable via email, and you need to pay ...

In my hospital, in the emergency room, we went to team nursing. There was lots of education due to everyone was use to primary nursing. They are constantly having in service on the "role of the LPN" and the "Role of the Team leader (RN)". The way ...

Thanks A, I spoke to Mark this afternoon. He called Bridgeport Hospital and spoke to the proper channels. He also reassured me that ISU will find me a clinical site. My major concern was there are only a few hospitals in CT. They are owned by ea...

I have a question about clinical sites. I put in a call to ISU about this but wanted to hear from those who went thru the process. I am trying to get my hospital on the list of sites. They called the other 2 sites listed in CT, and both places hav...

Can you apply for two states at the same time for example if I wantd to be registered in CT and NY.? Regi

:yeah: You go girl!!! Congratulation!! So can you practice in both CT and MA?? how did you handle that?? Regi

Hi everyone, I just wanted to add my 2 cents. The LPN state program has just been reinstated. They will be back January 2011. I am still in the last program in Danbury. I am doing clinical at Bethel Health Center, almost ALL the nursing staff is...

I would also advise your daughter to keep her personal business out of school and clinical. None of those people are her friends, and if they are, they need to keep it formal and professional. This is the part of real life. People are catty and je...

I think this is a classic example of not understanding the "platform" of nursing. The field is wide open. There are so many things you can do in nursing that does not require bedside nursing. Case Management, Visiting nursing, telephone nursing, I...

Some of the "planetree" hospitals are going back to team nursing. We are trying it here at my hospital. I finish in January, and wonder if they would hire a 'green LPN' in the ER where it is being implemented. I wondered how it would work consider...

Hey Sandy! Kaynor is in Waterbury, we use to meet at NVCC, but now are back at the high school. Nina, you are right about people not applying due to urban legends. Nina, we are doing the SAME thing about remediation. It is not based on grade, we A...

Hey everyone, Just a quick tibbit I overheard today. The instructors were talking about how they only recieved 20 applications at Kaynor. If you dont have yours in, get it in now. Also they closed the Stamford program due to lack of interest. Do...

Yeah!!! Congrats!! Let us know when you pass the NCLEX!

I am right there with you. I took a job as CNA in a LTC to get experience on time management and see what the CNAs go thru. I get my LPN in January, but didnt want to be one of those nurses that didnt have a clue. In my school they are always talk...

Well I will see you at the aqua turf this fall, and its four more months for me too! Yah!! Regi:yeah:

Here for me in CT, I had ambulation, dental care, handwashing, partial vitals... (Respiratory and pulse) and then I did the written, which really is on the computer. The nurse tester was nice to warn NOT to read into it and also to remember I was t...

PAsSED today YEAH!! okay now off to find a job for the summer. Here I come LPN!!! Regi:redpinkhe

GREAT JOB!! AP II is not as hard as AP I in my opinion, so you should do great again! AP II will be familiar territory. You did good, I couldnt have done it in five weeks, I took the summer class, but it was 8 weeks, I needed those extra weeks. W...
