Graduated in Dec.'08. I applied for jobs in December, hoping to at least work as a GN or CNA until I took and passed my NCLEX. I did get a job, started in mid-Jan working as a CNA/GN. I now work...
I spoke with an advisor from Spring Arbor University who was visiting my school. She made it sound so smoothe, with one class per week. It sounds like they are very flexible with transferring...
Thank you for recognizing the knowledge/skill base of LPNs. There aren't many new RNs who recognize this, so it's refreshing to hear of a RN who is open to recognizing LPNs. I graduated from my LPN...
I think it all depends on your situation. I chose to do a regular RN program directly after I graduated from LPN school. I hadn't taken my NCLEX-PN yet when I started RN school. I'd applied to this...
I completed my LPN in Dec 08 and am in my third semester of a RN regular ADN program. I plan to continue on for my BSN prob a semester after I graduate from my ADN, and my goal is to become a DNP....
I don't think the accreditation is the issue here, I think it's the school sounding to be one of the proprietry kind. Nothing transfers from those schools. You get your license, you have your...
I am laughing reading some of these comments! This is SO human nature, and reason for all the anger...the whole hierarchy thing! I mean, what's the argument? A nurse aide with a college degree saying...

I'm in my third semester of my RN program and work full-time as a LPN. I love my job, love school, and wouldn't want to be doing anything other than what I'm doing! There is a lot of negativity not...

I graduated in Dec 2008. I think I was the last graduating class with hope of getting a job after graduation. It was still a struggle, and I ended up getting a job about an hour north of where I...
I think it's best to go back asap. I didn't even take my NCLEX yet before starting a regular ADN program, not bridge. I just kept open mind, like all new material so that I didn't get into thinking...
I don't want to leave my full-time job when I graduate, either! I LOVE working as a LPN in assisted living. I'm able to be the kind of nurse I want to be. I am very independent, able to provide the...
Look into Toledo, OH schools. Lourdes College is in the northern part of Toledo, also Mercy College has an ADN and BSN and is also located relatively close to the border. I work in Ann Arbor, but...

I work 40 hours a week. I am in a regular ADN program, not a bridge, and am about to enter my third semester. I have clinical once a week on Monday. My lecture courses are online. I'm taking med-surg...
