Hello, I'm starting the online nursing program at UACCB in January of which I live 1 1/2 hours away. Does anybody have experience at this school, any insight/tips you'd like to share? The online retention is good this year I'm told. I've taken clas...

Hello, You've probably made your choice by now. I attended LPN at Baptist and can only tell you from that standpoint. They are strict with rules but if you can follow rules, no problem. I would always get there an hour early because of traffic and...

Hi Jonathon and hang in there! Stacie

You might also check the website ratemyprofessor.com It might be wise to see which teacher has the better comments and which ones to stay away from at the particular college you're attending.

I'm starting in January 2013, RN fast-track. I understand it to be 4 days a week. When that is completed you can continue through UALR's BSN completer program, of which I understand most to be online. Unfortunately, I will have to take chemistry a...

No, I've taken this time to be with my little girl. However, this semester, I've completed 2 more and in January will take 2 more per-requisites. Baptist said I could have started LPN fast-track this January and carry my last 3 science credits that ...

When I went as an LPN it was a year and then a separate program could follow called "fast track". You had to have all or most of your prerequesites though. Has it changed? The RN by itself was 28 months.

Congradulations! You'll be wearing white ones too for clinicals. Be prepared to give your whole life over to it. My husband had to take over most of the housework and taking care of the 3 kids. It's not a good bargain for them. Hang on!

I just took the LPN which did allow us to take Nutrition through PTC gaining us a credit but you had to have already finished A&P when you start or you take it through the curriculum without the lab leaving you no college credit. I've taken 2 mo...

My advice would be to take A&P through Pulaski Tech (either on Pulaski's or Baptist Campus) rather than through the Baptist because it doesn't have a lab and you will have to retake the class for RN. Also you wouldn't have to get there as early ...

LPN wore blue scrubs to class and for clinicals white scrubs with blue lab coats.

Home Helpers you can find in the phone book. There are others also. It's home health and what a nursing assistant would do. Someone told me the other day that they work a 2 hours a day and are there to just sit with them although she tidies up the...

I'm trying to fit a nursing job back into my life. I have a 2 yr old that I've gotten to stay home with so I haven't worked since my 7th month of pregnancy. I have a 14yr old that goes to a private school for kids with special needs in LR (almost $...

Thats a good point. Thanks

I would like to know anyone's thoughts on job security. I have resumes out there with clinics already and I'm 40 years old. Job security-wise and wanting to stay 20 plus years ideally somewhere, I've wondered is it wiser to go into a hospital system?...

Hello, Just curious how it's going for you and the stress of family, work and full-time school. I went to Baptist for LPN with no job and I couldn't give much time to my kids then. Now I have an additional child who is 2 yrs old and have to go back t...

I'm sure there are trade offs and benefits are important to me such as our family travels. I found out that the two school districts here hire RNs not LPNs. So much for that. St Vincents is hiring mostly prn work now, which is only ideal if I can wor...
