Bridgett

What is your study method? Congratulations on passing! You are one step closer

I agree with Medic. The only way to know for sure is to ask Excelsior.

I'm ready to hit the ground running with the LPN-RN bridge program at Excelsior. I completed the Health Safety test about a year ago and then lost the drive to to finish. I am ready now, 2013 is the year I will complete the rest of the classes, with plans to complete FCCA and CPNE next year. I have 7 nursing classes, plus Micro to complete. Currently I'm studying for the LPN to RN transition class. If there is anyone interested in being a study buddy, please send a private message.

You didn't mention how long ago your freshman year was. I think if it has been a while you should probably retake it anyway? Especially before taking other science classes likely required. I say go for it and retake it! I have found it doesn't hurt to read up on a subject before the class starts. I looked over Chemistry before I took the class and found my pre-studying helped quite a bit! I learned the symbols of the elements, learned about bonding, acids and bases... and much of that will be review for you since you have taken Chemistry before. Good Luck!

I'm not sure what a dental nurse is, but if you are interested in becoming a Registered Nurse it requires going to school either in a two year program at a community/technical college or a 4 year college/university. Most nursing programs have quite a few science classes that need to be taken before applying to the nursing program. It is often impossible for a person to actually compete a 2 year nursing degree in only two years. Many nursing schools also require a person to take a certified nursing assistant class before applying for the nursing program also. What state do you live in? Do you know of any college near by that offer degrees in nursing? I'm not sure if this is the information you are looking for about becoming a nurse, but feel free to ask any other questions you have and I'm sure there will be many people here to answer your questions.

If you want to apply to all three schools most likely you will need to complete ALL of the pre-reqs. It's too bad all schools seem to have different pre-reqs!

"I feel like she didnt give me an F or an incomplete or absent for final on purpose so that i couldnt take the class over next semester just be stuck with a losey C what do you guys think?" I don't understand what you meant by this. Even with a C you can retake the class. You can retake any class you want as long as you pay for it. I think you should look at your reasoning behind skipping a final for a class you already had a B in. Are you sure you want to be in school right now? Are you sure you can handle it right now? I agree with a previous poster that teacher was being nice by giving you a C.

congratulations on your baby! how exciting :) have you had any sleep lately? are the days all running together with the nights? i remember those days! i have a nine month old. he has luckily been sleeping through the night since eight weeks old. st paul v.s st kates... huge price difference! personally, i would finish the lpn program and then look for an lpn-bsn program. i know i read about one today that was strictly online.

I am looking at a three year waitlist in New Richmond for their RN, so I am trying to find out if I could get an LPN program done and possibly a bridge program done in less amount of time than I would spend on the waitlist. I'm not sure if River Falls or St Paul is closer to me, but they seem about the same.

Are you currently going there for LPN?

I wasn't sure is St Paul was competitive or waitlist. I couldn't tell from their info listed online.

Does anyone know if there is a waiting list for St Paul College's LPN Program?

My husband moved to Minnesota from California. I always have to tease him he doesn't have his "MN Blood" yet. He dresses up like it is the dead of winter when I'm comfortable in a long sleeve tee. It might take some getting used to, but when it comes down to it most people don't spend a lot of time outside in the winter unless they really enjoy winter outdoor sports. We drive from our heated homes in our heated cars, and go to our heated work places, our heated malls (have you been to the MOA?) or heated stores, our heated indoor recreation activities (museums, movies, libraries, amusement park, and whatever else you can think of) and back to our heated homes. Minnesota has lots of schools to choose from for nursing. There is something for everyone here.
