    I'm a single mom (new LPN, will graduation w/ my RN in May) of a 4yr old and I'm trying to figure out what to do workwise when I'm done. I'm thinking it would be great to work 7p-7a on Fri, Sat, and...

  7. Please Help! Need Advice!! LVN or RN????

    picurn10 replied to ravenmothermary's topic in General Nursing

    I just finished my LPN and am bridging to RN. I never planned to be an LPN, but it shaved about 6mo off the whole application process compared to going straight into a 2-yr RN. That said, I have a...

  8. Why ?

    picurn10 replied to missingunc's topic in General Students

    one thing to consider as well is the schedule: I did a 11mo LPN, but we went 8hrs per day, 5 days per week. We only had 10days off for Christmas break, whereas colleges do 30days, and just a few days...

  11. Why ?

    picurn10 replied to missingunc's topic in General Students

  12. Is 3rd Semester of ADN Nursing Program that Bad?

    picurn10 replied to Rylee2008's topic in General Students

    that stinks that they are so negative right off the bat. I was also told by the instructors that 3rd semester is the hardest (we have ob/peds and geri/psych) but that they were dedicated to ensuring...

  13. How long did you wait.........

    picurn10 replied to litebrightgirl's topic in LPN to RN

  14. how does transferring work?

    picurn10 replied to Alex89domato's topic in LPN to RN

    I would say check out your local community colleges and universities to meet up with an advisor. Every area of the country seems to do things a little differently. In my state, you earn your LPN and...

  18. Hi i'm new here

    picurn10 replied to CoolingOutNJ's topic in General Students

    I think one thing I wished I would have done (which really helped my classmates) was to get my CNA or be some sort of a tech or unit clerk. I felt so lost because I'd basically never set foot in a...

    picurn10 replied to Kamdyn's topic in General Students

    I chopped my hair off to an above the collar bob. It was great because at 5am the last thing I wanted to do was my hair. I just put a little gel in (naturally wavy) and pinned back the front with a...

  20. Fail at 85??? NCLEX-PN

    picurn10 replied to MGBUG's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I'm hoping in just a couple hours. Everyone I've heard from said it was exactly 48hr when their results were posted. I sure hope so, because I haven't slept in days and I'm a ball of stress right

  21. Fail at 85??? NCLEX-PN

    picurn10 replied to MGBUG's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    yep, the idea is that once you pass they take your ATT out of the system so you will be unable to re-register. From reading through EVERY response on the 'trick' threads it worked for everyone pass or...

    picurn10 replied to lilbeans's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I thought the were very similar but I didn't seem to get questions in areas I know well, you know? It is true that they keep asking you, in different ways, the same subject which is why I think I got...
