Hi, I am in LPN school right now graduate Aug. 2009. I am at a tech school also and with us the only thing the LPN classs does as far as credit toward the LPN-RN is that you come in during the 2nd semester of RN school. That's it! The A&P that yo...

So I am running off fumes right now cuz I barely slept a wink last night!! Today was great! Our instructors are awesome. They really want you to learn but they aren't uptight. KWIM? They are very animated and acted like Vanna White everytime they sho...

I actually really like my program. It's been about 6 weeks now. There is some undercover cattiness(lol) and there is definitely some people who are a waste of space. (IMO) The instructors are great. One is a bit menapausal and will tell u she is so s...

How is it going? Two weeks down are you hanging in there? We have had 3 tests already scored 90s on all and 100s on all my quizzes. It hasnt gotten too difficult(knock on wood) its just alot of work and studying and my body is still getting adjusted....

Experience...in high school I took Geometry with a teacher who everyone swore coundn't teach...they failed her class and said it was the teacher's fault, granted the teacher was pretty terrible I passed with an "A". I seeked outside help, got tutors ...

Oh my goodness I just finished taking a test on APIE, physical exam, abbreviations and nursing assessments and I feel horribly about how I did:crying2: I have been doing so well on my tests so far. I might have done better than I thought but I don't ...

I only work on the weekends and started out working Thurs-Sunday but quickly realized I didnt want to tackle the extra weight. Working on weekends helps and I still have ample amount of study time. I also started saving money the day I found out I wa...

Our first 2 exams were the first week of school. And most everyone did well and they had to because you have to make an 80 or better. We are doing stuff like anatomy and micro, most if not everyone in the class has taken those classes already so alot...

What area do you want to work in?? I know that the NHC behind Memorial starts PCT at $12. I am sure RNs get a little more than that. I am a LPN student and will bridge to RN. I have been researching salaries also. I heard contract nurses get a little...

I wish I could use a messenger bag for my books, I couldn't find a big enough bag with wheels so I had to get a carry-on suitcase...no lie!! And guess what?!? That still wasnt big enough so I have to carry a backpack too. We do get lockers which will...

I know I am a year ahead of myself but I like to look around and see what options I have when the time arises. I hear alot of things about LPN's starting their experience in a nursing home or clinic. What kind of clinic hires LPNs? I am not sure but ...

Hey I am from Knoxville but am living in Chattanooga for school. I am attending Chattanooga State for my LPN.

I am so sorry you are going through this. I agree if at all possible go get them yourself and hand deliver. My school recommend 2 places for us to go to avoid confusions like that and if you went through someone else there was no way the school could...
