I didnt have to interview for my school either, but when I was looking at the private LPN schools, they were asking me questions about my family. What they really wanted to know was how I was going to handle if the kids got sick or had to leave scho...

Hi, I'm in the Kaynor tech program... the reason for the additional classes is so the LPN RN bridge will go smoother. Now if you dont have bio, you can get it at the school your first semester. along with developmental psych. My main problem is th...

My mom called me yesterday and left a message saying one of the schools in CT (I think she said Fairfield U) was in the paper saying they have 114 grads and 45 of them already have jobs... Why does the paper print this nonsense when I can see for my...

Hey all, Get a book from the library, do practice test on the computer... oh and the library has something called library express which has practice test for free. Gotta go, more reading... Regi

hey, checking in real quick... about this if you can apply. Even if you are ready for rn school.... we had 4 people start with LPN and then went to the community college rn schools. the last two left in december for gateway.... so you should real...

oh, so not only do they pay for books, you get paid while in school full time??? that is a deal. I didnt understand that from before. I thought it was just them paying for books and tuition. Imagine being paid to go to school fulltime and no stude...

Thank you for telling your story. Tonite I need to hear it... I am not doing well in school right now and need a get up and go girl story. Would love to have the time to start reviewing now, but really dont. I am glad you stayed in there..even af...

So is your program a bridge LPN to RN or do you have to start at the beginning of the RN program? Regi

Sandy, pm me who you had a Clovis for psych... I am in the second semester at kaynor, going to st marys for clinical and learning to insert ngtube with feedings after checking for placement. Ugh lol this is tube week, we are to try to do at least 1...

Hey Sandy!! Milford mama, I just want to post this because if it was the other way around I would want someone to point this out to me.... That said, really think about going to St. V's.... its expensive... look around on these threads.... people a...

Why are you trying to go to St V's?? Doesnt Southern have a nursing program?? and its a BSN to boot... not to mention cheaper for all four years vs. St V's two years. I think we need to think smart... look around on this board, new grads are having...

Hey everyone!! About what Sandy said about St V's taking up to 16 credits is true... but like IR said when you try to transfer science classes ie AP I and II they make you take a test THEY supply and if you fail you have to take the classes from ...

If you are going the NY route, look into westchester cc, and other community colleges near the CT line that have nursing programs. And dont forget the RN school in Mt. Vernon, its Dorthea something.... Regi

Hi, I think you should go for your lpn. After your first semester you can get your cna. (the first few months is CNA schooling). And work part time and keep going for your lpn regi:twocents:

The information in this thread is greaat.... I was wondering if those who posted can update us on how its going.... also if VARN or anyone else can explain about the VA program. I am in the older end of the age range and was wonder how old is too ol...

if you check out the ads for jobs on Lincare, they accept RTs and LPNs.... also check sleep tech, they do the same thing. I think its just which company.... Regi

Hi everyone! I would like to know the differences between the health techs and the LPN in the VA hospital. Also is the nursing assistant the same as CNA?? I am a student lpn and would like to get a part time job on weekends and during the summer. ...

Anyone have an idea?? I need clearer descriptions of what they do besides the ones on the website. They seem like they were similar and hopefully I can get some clarification on this.... thanksss:wink2:

There are programs for ADN to BSN to MSN. some of the skip the BSN altogether and other will award the BSN as well as the MSN. They are not (not that I could see) for CRNA's but for other specialities. Regi

Hey, You should really speak to the schools yourself and get who you are talking too. All of the science class at Clovis have a lab attached to them. At San Juan they send you a lab in a box, and with Clovis its electronic. Sometimes you need to e...

Congrats on passing the NET!!! Good job:hpygrp: Regi

Hey everyone! The online AP at Clovis is HARD, but doable. I suggest you take that and MAYBE an easy class in order to get an A/B grade. You think it would be easy because its online, and basically open book, but the tests are designed that its a t...

thanks Sandy for answering the questions, things got crazy here. Yes, LPN school is going good, just really busy with papers, reading, exams, and finally clinicals.... I ended up dropping two classes from Clovis because of the work load. They were ...

hey blue, PM me and I will tell you all...... Regi

Hey Matt, The response is slow because a lot of people have started school and really have not read the site lately... anyway, do you have AP?? I didnt see it in the line up? Regi
