  1. should I bother with the LPN?

    amjowens replied to talk to the hand's topic in General Nursing

    If you want to be an LPN, then it won't be a bother, plus you can find a job in LTC after you graduate. I'm just noticing a lot of people interested in nursing due to the economy-thinking it's...

  2. am I the only one who feels this way

    amjowens replied to VM85's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    There were so many ups and downs for me during my year of LPN school. I think of myself as a pretty steady person, but at times I was feeling so down, then up again. During the difficult times, I...

    amjowens replied to caprisgoddess's topic in General Students

    Yeah, I agree with the previous poster. There's just no way around the study time...plus practicing one unreal question after another (those that seem to be with two+ answers) until it starts...

  4. Pre-nursing student, PLEASE HELP ME DECIDE

    amjowens replied to Central 268's topic in General Nursing

    BTW, forgot to say, that your friends sound to have a lot to learn! I know of a lot of people with degrees from colleges that would probably fit into what's socially acceptable for your school, yet...

  5. Pre-nursing student, PLEASE HELP ME DECIDE

    amjowens replied to Central 268's topic in General Nursing

    Because you attend a good school, I assume you understand the value of core courses which prepare you for further education. For example, I think you'd invest in your career by completing science,...

  6. Limitied Opportunity in Michigan

    amjowens replied to Ms. Nurse Assistant's topic in Michigan Nursing

    www.owens.edu is the website. From there you can find the information you need. There is housing for students near campus-new condo type places which are dorm-like in that multiple students pay a...

  7. Limitied Opportunity in Michigan

    amjowens replied to Ms. Nurse Assistant's topic in Michigan Nursing

    You could enroll in the anatomy class for Jan and take the ACT in the Spring. I'd get on this asap, starting with an Owens admissions person to see what class you could take, or one that would...

  8. Any Ohio-Owens CC Students????

    amjowens replied to Scrubs'09's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I have my ATI comprehensive tomorrow, then I'll be done with the LPN at Owens in Toledo. I applied to both the RN and LPN at the same time. I got in right away for the LPN, and had one semester to...

  9. Difficult to get student loan nowadays?

    amjowens replied to greenland's topic in General Nursing

    I've read about the student loan problem on various news sites. It sounds to be more of an issue for those who attend schools where financial aid doesn't cover tuition, and so private loans are...

  10. Limitied Opportunity in Michigan

    amjowens replied to Ms. Nurse Assistant's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Since I'm so close to Mich, I sometimes browse this area just to see what's going on. One thing I keep seeing is the number of qualified students trying to get into NS. I feel so bad for you! The...

  11. Know any RN's who became MD's?

    amjowens replied to Anesthetize's topic in General Nursing

    My family physician was a nurse before going to med school. She's a DO. Obviously, as she's my physician, I think pretty highly of her. I'm hoping to continue on for my nurse practitioner degree. I...

    amjowens replied to srleslie's topic in General Students

    I really appreciate this thread. I'm am interested in science, and enjoy studying the medical side of what nursing just touches. I came to the reality that I'm studying nursing when I grasped the...

  13. LPN lay-offs in Ohio

    amjowens replied to moodychick's topic in Ohio Nursing

    You'd earn more working as a LPN than a STNA, so if you can't afford RN school now, then you could at least work as a LPN. This would open up LPN-RN programs to you. Hospitals are cutting back on...

  14. Limitied Opportunity in Michigan

    amjowens replied to Ms. Nurse Assistant's topic in Michigan Nursing

    If you're willing to make the trip to Findlay, I'd highly recommend that you make a stop at Owens CC in Toledo to check it out. I just graduated from the LPN program, and am starting the RN in...

  15. What School to Choose?!?!?!!

    amjowens replied to marie.clay2's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I applied the semester before I started. There are two classes per year-one starts in Jan, the other in Sept. I have pretty much everything good to say about my experience so far at

  16. What School to Choose?!?!?!!

    amjowens replied to marie.clay2's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Yes, Owens Community College. It was an excellent program, with the head of the program very interested in helping students learn...very

  17. What is going on in Toledo????

    amjowens replied to mrreah's topic in Ohio Nursing

    You sound to understand the number of new grads for the population of Toledo, but you said there is a nursing shortage in Toledo. Between clinicals and precepting (twice now preceptor told not to come...

    amjowens replied to windmill182's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I just had my LPN pinning ceremony yesterday. I had applied for both a RN and LPN program at my CC, and had one less semester wait for the LPN. I accepted both, but deferred my acceptance by a...

  19. LPN or RN waiting list

    amjowens replied to silverhalide's topic in General Nursing

    I just graduated from an LPN program due to a wait list to get into the RN program. I start the ADN immediately in January (a regular program). I hope to begin a BSN right after my ADN, just as I did...

  20. Lvn program, Is it worth it?

    amjowens replied to juliesgtarius17's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    BTW, I just thought about the huge wait lists I hear of in California. I really want to be a nurse, and it sounds like you feel passionate about nursing too. On second thought, if I really had to do...

  21. Lvn program, Is it worth it?

    amjowens replied to juliesgtarius17's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I'm about to graduate from my LPN program. I paid about $5000 for my program, and though I'm grateful for all I've learned and the experience I'll be able to get, I would NOT pay much more. I want to...

  22. What School to Choose?!?!?!!

    amjowens replied to marie.clay2's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I'm 31, and about to graduate from my LPN program tomorrow. In January, I'm continuing on with a regular ADN program. My goal is to be a nurse practitioner, so I have a few hoops through which to...

  24. GPA help

    amjowens replied to pharmgirl's topic in General Students

    My program sounds to have the same policy as yours. There's no rounding up. I've heard of students just about to pass, only off a few tenths of a point. We were warned of this at the very beginning....

  25. Adult Modeling ANd Nursing

    amjowens replied to EmoAngel1202's topic in General Nursing

    I notice quite a few remarks about comparing exotic dancing to having sex with strangers to make a video. While I see the two under the same umbrella of the entertainment industry, the two are VERY...
