  1. $31,500...is that too much for a lpn program?

    MeowTimesTwo replied to trixiemunson's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Wow, that is a LOT! Definitely look around before dropping that much money on a program. I'm in a 12 month hospital diploma program and my tuition is

  2. should I cut my hair?

    MeowTimesTwo replied to picurn10's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I have really long (down to my lower back) hair. It really hasn't been a problem for me! During clinicals I twist it up into a bun. It

  3. nails in school/work

    MeowTimesTwo replied to Mami.Nurse2B's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Our school requires short nails and NO polish at all - not even clear. Yes, they check. It's a huge infection control policy in our hospital system. I have always had great nails, so this was a...

  4. What color are your school's scrubs?

    MeowTimesTwo replied to picurn10's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    We have white bottoms and royal blue tops. Not totally bad (I could do without the white bottoms), but what really irritates me is the STYLE we had to get. The pants are the "classic" (meaning HIGH)...

    MeowTimesTwo replied to Hoping2beRN's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    The LPN program is 12 months. Then after I work as an LPN for 6 months I can get into their bridge... approx. 10 more months of school and I'll (hopefully!) graduate and be an RN! It's a cool deal....

  10. 2009 Grads! Come 1 Come ALL!

    MeowTimesTwo replied to Hoping2beRN's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I'm in a hospital program. They agree to pay the tuition (not books and uniforms) if you agree to work for them for 2 years. Not too bad of a deal, especially since they also have an RN program with...

  13. Why did you choose LPN instead of RN?

    MeowTimesTwo replied to kimmyj74's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I chose to be an LPN first for a couple reasons. One, because I'm an older "returning" student who didn't do so well when I initially went to college after high school. A lot of RN programs around...

  17. When do things pick up?

    MeowTimesTwo replied to *Scrubs*'s topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I totally know what you mean. I'm in my first "term", and I'm honestly not finding it that hard at all. I'm pulling As and have all "Satisfactory"s on clinical days and I haven't worked as an aide...

  18. When you are going to clinicals

    MeowTimesTwo replied to kiss04bam's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Our school is really big on making carpool lists since parking within our hospital system is very limited. Some people do still drive themselves, but it depends on which one of the hospitals they are...

    MeowTimesTwo replied to EMTBrooks's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Congrats on being accepted! I definitely had pre-program jitters. Now that I've been into it a few weeks - I'm not going to lie... I STILL have jitters, only now I'm focused on...

    MeowTimesTwo replied to MeowTimesTwo's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Um, I posted 4 hours ago that I already got my book today. :typing Thanks for the advice, though. I was leaning towards getting one when I got the note that our books came in. I do have to give the...

  23. My first day!

    MeowTimesTwo posted a topic in LPN, LVN Students

    It went really well, I'm happy to report. :) My class is small (it seems like a lot of people who were at orientation weren't there - not sure if they changed their minds or what), and everyone is...

    MeowTimesTwo replied to MeowTimesTwo's topic in LPN, LVN Students
