I need to do the same thing! I have to take Micro and then onto the nursing classes. I'd be down for keeping in touch with those of you around the same stage in the game.

That is amazing! Is there a similar youtube video geared toward MicroBio??

Awesome! I'm gearing up to start as well! I just got my copy of microbiology Demystified the other day! I took A&P in lpn school so that's accounted for. I'm excited but nervous too! I've been an LPN for a little over 2 years now. I worked 10 mo...

Hey, all! Just a quick update to let everyone know that I finally graduated from my LPN program this past weekend! I haven't been too active in the community lately ( school and all, lol!) but just wanted to let you all know that this board has been...

Hello, everyone! I am about to start my lpn courses on January 20th and am curious if there are any other students from Trocaire or the Buffalo area on here?

Hey, all! So, I am thinking of starting EC in the very near future. My question is will they take most if not all of my former college credits from my BA in Psychology? I mean, am I REALLY gonna hve to take Developmental Psych AGAIN?? I hope not. I k...

Thanks for the info!! Wish me luck. Good luck to you also, AngLVN!

Hi! So, long story short... I graduated from nursing school last May but didn't get up the nerve to take my boards until THIS past March! I passed on the 1st try and feel SO dumb for waiting so long. I had some other reasons as well which included ge...

Thanks for your kind words! So far so good at the new job. Everyone seems really nice & cool and work together quite well! Let's just hope it's the same on the night shift. I won't know for sure for another 2 weeks since that will be the last wee...

Hey! I live in Buffalo, NY & I just got my 1st LPN job, which I start orientation for tomorrow! Base salary at the LTC facilty that I'll be at is $15.39. I, however, will be working overnights ( 11-7 ) so I will make $16.09. I will also work alte...

Hey! Did you ever consider Buffalo, NY? The hospitals there seem to hire a lot. Also the rent is hella cheap compared to most places. I am from NJ originally and currently live in Buffalo. I will be moving back to NJ next year, however, to care for m...

Hey! Congrats & don't be nervous!! The classes at Trociare are pretty good, tough but fair. However, this past semester they seemed somewhat unorganized and things were a bit out of synch for a while but it turned out ok. Just take good notes, r...

Hey! I don't know much about their loan program but the hospital itself is GREAT! I am finishing up my last semester of lpn school and I'm doing my clinicals there during this rotation. Everyone has been so helpful and welcoming and I just applied fo...

Hey, all! I started my program this past January 19th and I'll be graduating May 2011! I can't wait! I really love the classes & have done quite well thus far. I can't believe that FINALS are, like, barely 3 weeks away!! Good luck everyone!

GREAT idea! I think once I graduate I will definitely get another tat. I am toying with the idea of a Phoenix rising from the ashes. I have been thru a lot of turmoil and illness in my life and I did a complete 360 and am FINALLY on my way to where I...

I started NF1 & AP1 on the 20th of January. Things have been going pretty well so far. It has been rather fast paced, but interesting! So far I took an AP quiz in lab and got an 80% and I got an 84% on our 1st NF test, which I am very happy abou...

How WONDERFUL!! Congrats!! = )

Hi, there! My school in Buffalo has us wearing white tops with wine colored pants. We also have white lab coats. I don't start until Tuesday, so I have yet to wear them.
