  1. Excelsior in unrecognized state?

    lpntobe2009 posted a topic in Online Distance Learning

    I have a question. I live in IL and have a possible job opportunity to work for the VA as an LPN. Do you think it would be worth it to finish my RN via Excelsior even though IL wouldn't recognize...

  2. Excelsior in unrecognized state?

    lpntobe2009 replied to lpntobe2009's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I already know IL doesn't accept it..but as of right now, they do allow you to endorse in after 2 years of RN experience elsewhere. In the VA, you can have a state license from any state(I live...

  3. Excelsior in unrecognized state?

    lpntobe2009 replied to lpntobe2009's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Yeah, this would be an option that I would consider only AFTER an offer is made(had interview 2 days ago). Just thinking out my options. It's either this or Indiana State as I cannot sit in the...

  4. ISU LPN-BSN course info

    lpntobe2009 replied to lpntobe2009's topic in Online Distance Learning

    No, they give you a list of places in your area and then you call and request clinical hours. I've heard from several people in the area that's it's actually pretty area and the list of hospitals are...

  5. ISU LPN-BSN course info

    lpntobe2009 posted a topic in Online Distance Learning

    I applied to ISU and planned on applying for admission for the lpn-bsn by the Nov 1st deadline. I am so disappointed to learn that you can only take 2 nursing courses at a time!! I spoke to 2...

  6. ISU LPN-BSN course info

    lpntobe2009 replied to lpntobe2009's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Thanks. I figured they wouldn't. Just bummed that this program is going to take sooooo long when I have no other courses to

  7. Lets get a current salary thread going for 09/10

    lpntobe2009 replied to Finallydidit's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

  8. College of Dupage LPN Program

    lpntobe2009 replied to rj3mom's topic in Illinois Nursing

    Don't listen to anyone about not doing an LPN program...yeah, we all know hospitals aren't hiring LPN's..but there are PLENTY of opportunities and it is NOT a waste of money. I just graduated and...

  9. Just took NCLEX with LOTS of calculations/select all that apply

    lpntobe2009 replied to adjya18's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    This is very untrue. I wish people who actually KNOW what they are talking about before posting...I had a teacher that used to write NCLEX questions. SATA ARE higher level questions..when you are...

  10. Will RNs soon become mandatory over LPNs?

    lpntobe2009 replied to 1lollipop's topic in New York Nursing

    Ummm...LPN's ARE nurses so the whole "More LPN's than NURSES" is an odd statement. Lpn's aren't going anywhere. LTC facilities are giving preference to LPN's because they are cheaper than RN's. I...

  11. NCLEX PN Stopped at 85.

    lpntobe2009 replied to A.Vllnv53's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Were the questions very difficult at the end? Like a lot of "select all that apply"? I was told that if you have reached these difficult questions, it means you have answered a lot

    lpntobe2009 replied to 1uvakindmom's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Good luck! I will be there next month probably and am already freaking

  13. Starting LVN program in 2 weeks!!! Advice???

    lpntobe2009 replied to shenshine's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I just finished my program and I would just say try to stay as focused as possible. Just ignore whatever else is going on and focus on the prize(like someone else mentioned). It wouldn't hurt to...

  14. Fail with 85 questions on nclex PN?

    lpntobe2009 replied to zolushkalvn's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I have heard that with only 85 questions it either means that the computer determined you did really well or really

  15. Finally finished my PN program

    lpntobe2009 replied to Peachez8207's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I just finished my program as well and am trying to get into NCLEX study mode! I am planning on just going to Borders and trying to use a different book each night and study section by section. I...

  16. PCCTI LPN School?

    lpntobe2009 replied to allycat4's topic in Illinois Nursing

    Excuse me, "Kenny", but in which of my posts did I say anything "bitter"?? I don't think you are READING the posts correctly because I was not the one bashing the school. I have repeated what is...

  17. PCCTI LPN School?

    lpntobe2009 replied to allycat4's topic in Illinois Nursing

    Wow! It really amazed me how many people are coming out of the woodwork and "pretending" to to be a part of PCCTI with all of their defense posts. How about learning how to spell or at least...

  18. PCCTI LPN School?

    lpntobe2009 replied to allycat4's topic in Illinois Nursing

    I have heard that the NCLEX rate was low from teachers at the school. DespSeekingNursing-if you have been to other colleges before, as you stated, then I truly can't understand how you don't see the...

  19. PCCTI LPN School?

    lpntobe2009 replied to allycat4's topic in Illinois Nursing

    A lot more than 2 failed the NCLEX. That is why the HESI policy was put into effect...because of the low pass rate on

  20. CNA needs help paying for LPN

    lpntobe2009 replied to mydee's topic in Illinois Nursing

    PCCTI is not a scam. Unorganized, yes. Scam?

  21. PCCTI LPN School?

    lpntobe2009 replied to allycat4's topic in Illinois Nursing

    This is a joke, right? We just lost our DEAN because of the incompetence of this ridiculous "school". Policies change left and right with NO notice to students. Each LPN class has been through at...

  22. Does your vocational school include HESI tests in your final grade?

    lpntobe2009 replied to CarreBarreLPN's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Hmmm...you must go to the same school that I go to. Wonderful, huh? My class is moving onto 102 in March and we were just told, with about 2 weeks notice, that the Hesi Fundamentals would count as...
