  1. Toledo School PN or PSI LPN program?? Please help!

    amjowens replied to 2bnursevera's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I checked out both schools, along with other nursing schools in the area. I felt like PSI was very vague, and with tuition rates at $15,000 for the program, and the worst, none of the courses...

  2. Able to live on your student loans?

    amjowens replied to fascinoma's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I attend a community college, and accepted all the financial aid that was offered to me. I started classes in Jan, and intended to hold the money in savinings, and work as I can, with the safety net...

  3. Trade school or community college?

    amjowens replied to TheCommuter's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I attend a community college. My A&P I and II, micro, math, and all humanities transferred. All of my courses will transfer now (like my pharmacology) to the RN program that I plan to start next...

  4. not enough students, class gets held back?!

    amjowens replied to GeauxNursing's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I'd wonder about the school. If they aren't expecting the pre-reqs that allow for success, that's their fault. If they aren't providing the teaching that allows for success, that's obviously their...

  5. Working while in LVN school

    amjowens replied to fascinoma's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    It sounds as though some programs allow for more abilility to work without affecting academic results. My program has a clear link between work hours and those who don't earn the grades to make it...

  6. I'm in but I feel less than happy about it

    amjowens replied to Lovely_RN's topic in LPN to RN

    I'm in a LPN program and plan to graduate in Dec '08. I was on a year waiting list for the RN program (my original plan) and applied to the LPN program, thinking working as a CNA for 3 more years not...

  7. Future of LPNs

    amjowens replied to RN_Pursuit2b's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I hope your experience as a CNA is good and that you find a LPN or RN school that fits your needs. Working as a CNA can be very rewarding and a big positive step. My point of building up the LPN...

  8. lost my first LPN job

    amjowens replied to LPN4hire's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I'm a student, and where I do my clinical rotation at a nursing home, we could be busy the ENTIRE time if we just watched the nurses and discussed how they are "cutting corners". We actually spend...

  9. Do Most LVN/LPN's hate RN's?

    amjowens replied to junebride's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    It sounds like your friend has some issues, maybe insecure or something. In the health care field, there are so many hierarchies, depending on education, experience, etc. You have physician,...

  10. Future of LPNs

    amjowens replied to RN_Pursuit2b's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I took my prerequisites to get into RN school, but found myself on a year-long waiting list. Though not as bad as some stories of longer waits, it didn't satisfy me. I'd not considered LPN programs...

  11. I got accepted to LPN School!!!!!!!!

    amjowens replied to mgalloLPN's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Congratulations! I was ecstatic when I got my acceptance letter for Spring '08 LPN program! I started my program in Jan, and I'm still excited! I got financial aid and worked to save money before...

    I'm in Toledo, Ohio and in a LPN program at Owens Community College. If you are willing to make the drive to Toledo, check out Owens. Before applying at Owens, I attended an informationals at other...

  13. Working while in LVN school

    amjowens replied to fascinoma's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I'm a CNA, and thought I'd work on a contingent basis, but since I started my LPN program in Jan, I've not worked. I get financial aid, and choose to live frugally for a year. I'm seeing this time...
