As I said before, I am a 2 year LPN. I am studying thru Excelsor the LPN/RN bridge. Still in my LTC I do IVPG, infusions, monitor blood . I have talked an RN thru changing a PICC line drsg because Ira not in my SOP to chg it, even tho she wanted m...

I am a 2 year LPN in Ok. I networked during my clinicals, leadership, and preceptorship. I was hired at an LTC and have been there full-time and PRN. In between I tested home health, gaining experience and skills. I took phlebotomy course for the...

I'm in OK and have a few months left on the EC program. Then I have to complete xtra hrs in OB and MH. After that I can sit for boards. I know several EC nurses in OK that are working in various settings.

I have previous degree, and my LPN is truly the proudest I have ever been. To not be pinned and to not have the lantern to me mocks the nursing profession. It was one of my best experiences, and I loved it!

I am a respiratory therapist and a nurse. I had issues with this question because Venturi masks are not widely used in practice and not readily available. If the choice was O2 via nasal cannula, that would be number 1 choice because the pt was in r...

I took the TEAS Test on Fri for admittance to the Drumright LPN program. I scored a 75.9, with the passing score being 60. Is my score good enough? What is the ave? I am very nervous about this, and hope my score is acceptable. Anyone have any i...

Hi. I am currently a CNA/CHHA who will be attending the Drumright LPN program this spring. I am not sure what "magnet status" means or how it improves the overall quality of patient care. What I see is pt care being done by CNA's and LPN's while R...

Best of luck to you!

10 hours a night???? I dont have that many hours in a day! I am in school (self-paced) 20-25 hours a week, with 2-3 clinical days included. I spend on the average, 3 hours a night studying, so it becomes 25 hrs in school, 20 hours studying, working...

That's how I feel. Where are u practicing now? R u going to bridge?

I am a registered respiratory therapist, and have been for 30 + years. I am currently in an LPN/LVN self paced program looking at grad in Aug 2010. I am looking at bridge programs for RN. I have all my prerequ's out of the way. How long would the...

It is going well, just be prepared for no life, lol. Lots of work , I repeat, lots of work! I work 45 hrs a week and go to school. It can be done, but it can be overwhelming at times. Take time out when you need to. I do enjoy the program.

That must be why a certain person resigned and why someone else has taken over. Do you think it will improve? Why did all of this happen? I am in the Drumright program at presetn and so far am happy with it. It is self-paced and the pass rate is...

I attended that program last November, and clinicals are done at a local nursing home during the hrs you attend class. It was a great program and now I am in the LPN program also with Central Tech but in Drumright.

Good points. Thank you

OMG. today was the 1st day of class. Our instructor told us that we now were student nurses and to start thinking like we were LPN's. Do you feel like a nursing student OR a student nurse?:

I work 36 hrs S-M, go to school T-F 24-32 hrs a week. That is life. I get a day off during Fall break. I study a lot, but still take time for things I love and family, as well as normal household stuff. It is hard, it can be done, and I take vita...

Is the program expensive, and can you pay it out? How long does it take to complete, LPN to RN?

I am sure you will do fine. It is a huge amount of work and a huge committment, but all of us will get there.

I know how you feel, and hope the best for you 2!

thanks much!

How wonderful! I am a Respiratory Theapist also, 30 yrs, and am going to LPN school. I am considering EC for Rn after I complete my current program. How long did it take you?

At Drumright, we wear capiccino ( yes, I know I misspelled it), it is definitely not khaki, not a tan, it really looks like coffee with cream. It has enough pink undertone that you are not washed out in it. Nice.

That is a great way to do it, and it should make it easier to bridge to RN if you choose. What state are you in? I have not heard of this program in OK.

Wow, and thanks. Are u in a self-paced program? I do have to work, so I will just bite the bullet and do it. I have wonderful support from my family and co-workers. Thanks for all the advice, I will look for the dosage calculator today and work w...
