Yes, Thanks alot!

Hi everyone, I first want to Thank you all for the wealth of information that you have provided here and also to say that I am sooo excited to start this journey. I have been reading this thread for a few hours and I now have a couple questions if someone would be so kind and try to answer for me. I am starting with 0 credits, just my LPN.. I signed up with TCN on this past saturday so I am just about to start studying for the first test. My question is which modules need to be done before getting things started with ISU? From what I have read some of you are doing them concurrently with nursing courses and so I am a little confused. Secondly, is there some point in this that you can sit for your RN boards before finishing the actual BSN degree? And last question, in your opinion what order should the prereqs be done? sorry for the long post! Thanks again, Nique

Good Luck to you

okay- are you in a LPN program or RN?.......I didn't mention that I graduated from an LPN program :)

I just graduated in March'05 and we lost lots of people to both Peds and OB rotations, with horror stories about all aspects and the careplans oh my goodness,was I one nervous wreck.....well I went into both rotations with butterflies and Aced them both (Made 99 on Ped care plan and 95 on OB careplan). I found them to both be AWESOME! I actually worked as a tech on a peds floor in a hospital for a year, which is fun, but was truly heartwrenching at times. What school are you all in?:)

Thank you all for the wonderful advice! I will definitely take heed shellylaverne to (Being a new LPN, I think you need to concentrate on learning to be a nurse and getting good at the skills you learned in school. You're not going to do that in an insurance office) ~That was like the slap I needed to get movin! Nique

Hi all, I am looking for a little help, or maybe just some hope! I have been an LPN now for 7 months and have changed jobs too many times! I started out right after school in a hospital making 12 bucks an hour working my butt off on the night shift and didn't feel like the money was enough for the work, so I went to a clinic in a school - where i did nothing but babysit and now I am in a insurance office doing nothing with what I worked so hard to get. I am now sooo confused! I don't know whether I should stay put or should I go until I find something that makes me feel worthwhile and not bored and burnt out! I cannot even feel that drive or passion that was there while in school motivating me to be one of the top 3 students in my class!!! I am looking for any advice and all advice.
