  1. Posting your Exam Grades on Facebook

    dee78 replied to Kateoh82's topic in General Students

    I don't post every grade...because I don't want it to come off as bragging. But my friends and family do keep up with my nursing school progress on FB and they like to see how I'm doing. They send...

  2. How different is RN school from LPN training

    dee78 replied to proudpops's topic in LPN to RN

    I would say that it really depends on the LPN school and the RN school. My LPN school wasn't academically tough, IMO, but it was a very stressful environment. We went Mon-Fri 8-3, so those that had...

  3. How do you handle family and school?

    dee78 replied to TexasNurse2B's topic in General Students

    I have 3 kids and struggle with this from time to time. Time is precious, in the sense that kids are only kids once and you can't get that time back but also in the sense that study time is precious...

  4. How many use a car for class/clinicals?

    dee78 replied to citylights89's topic in General Students

    Car. I have 3 kids to transport before and after school plus I live 20 miles from school in the county so no bus service. There is a bus that goes to the school though so if I lived in the city that...

  6. Chattanooga State LPN program

    dee78 posted a topic in Tennessee Nursing

    I'm starting the program in January and I'm receiving a pell grant to pay for tuition and books. Class starts on the 14th but we can't get our books until the 19th. I always buy my books ahead of...

  7. Suggested Associates Nursing Programs

    dee78 replied to ChattNurseHopeful's topic in Tennessee Nursing

    I'm only a month into Chatt State's RN program but I love it so far!! You can apply to Cleveland State, that should be comparable pre-reqs. As far as other areas, it depends on where you go. You...

    dee78 replied to mendezs12's topic in General Students

    I know how you feel. I got my CNA in March 2009 and started applying to hospitals (not interested in LTC). One particular hospital keeps an archive, I've applied for 54 positions and got 2...

  10. Got a couple of questions for Recent Graduates and current Students

    dee78 replied to ChristianBranson's topic in Tennessee Nursing

    I'm pretty sure they will post a new list of test dates for the fall/winter. I wouldn't waste the time/money driving across the state to take it. If you want the process to be smooth then you should...

    dee78 replied to lpn.sarah's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I can relate to the OP. I am a recent grad LPN that refuses to work in a nursing home. I applied for several office positions but it seems those are going to medical assistants. The city I live in...

  13. Any current Chattanooga State RN students?

    dee78 posted a topic in Tennessee Nursing

    I graduated from the LPN program in December and immediately applied for the LPN-RN. I found out last night that I got ACCEPTED!!! So I'm wondering if there are any current students here that are...

  14. Mean Comment?

    dee78 replied to Candybones's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    My instructors were VERY negative, they had us so beaten down. Some of my classmates still haven't taken their NCLEX and we graduated in December, but so far we have a 100% pass rate for those that...

  15. Any Chattanooga State RN hopefuls for 2011?

    dee78 replied to trixee's topic in Tennessee Nursing

  17. Considering moving to TN (chatt area) as an LPN

    dee78 replied to Sylina2100's topic in Tennessee Nursing

    I guess it depends on where you want to work. Most hospitals here do not hire LPNs. Nursing homes and doctor's office/clinics are pretty much the only option. There were 35 in my graduating LPN...

  18. Halfway through the LVN/LPN program and already ready to start applying for RN school

    dee78 replied to Nurse-in-the-making2's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I'm taking it one step at a time as well. CNA in 2009, LPN in 2010, I start my LPN-RN program in May and will graduate in 2012. Then I will start my RN-BSN and eventually be a nurse practitioner or...

  19. Facts Throwing

    dee78 replied to Rockstar21's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I don't think I felt ready for it until after I graduated, I took the ATI and did good. You could buy a NCLEX-PN book and do practice questions with each

  20. What are you being told?

    dee78 replied to windmill182's topic in LPN to RN

    I would say that it really depends on your area, what hours you are able to work, and what kind of position you are willing to take. I graduated in December and only 2 (35 grads) of my classmates...

    dee78 replied to FutureLPN_Mommy's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    The message that your friend got is a common one, I got it for the first few hours after I took mine...it just means that your results aren't in yet. The trick works, you just have to know which one...

    dee78 replied to positivenfun's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    My experience was similar to Kittah's, except our pediatric rotation did include some time at children's hospital but majority of us spent more days at headstart daycares and our college
