**~pouty~**

sorry to hear that you are so frustrated. though it may be easier said than done, stick with it and get that experience under your belt.

i graduated the LPN program in october 2010. got my license in january 2011 and still havent been able to find a job. the job market is really rough right now (saying they wont hire you because you dont have experience). i live in the ft lauderdale...

i'm definitely not too pleased with my uniform. white pants and a teal scrub top with a collar! seriously, id love to meet who made the decision for our school uniform.

i just gave it a lite ironing when it came out of the dryer. my scrubs fit me just right, so i didnt have to try to shrink anything. i found petite length scrub pants so im happy. for now im gonna use my reg bookbag. i just packed my notebook, th...

oopps, sorry about that. did you initially get the registration slip from ms. ********? since you already paid for core, i dont think they would be able to give you a refund or anything like that. instead of going back and forth with these posts, ...

yeah im nervous too. ive got my bookbag ready and my scrubs cleaned and pressed. im hoping im not too nervous that i wont be able to get a good nite's sleep. let me know how your first day went. ill let you know how mine was as well.

hey spence! good luck on monday!!!! :w00t:

i used the ati study guide for everything except science. i had a little trouble with the science part the first time around. needless to say, i totally bombed!!!! i did some research and found out that many people used the mcgraw hills nursing entr...

yes, i pretty much was able to get everything needed for this first term---thanks to WIA. with my voucher i was able to get all of my books----except the core book and a book that was listed as a suggestion. i got 2 sets of uniforms, supplies, and...

WIA (davie rd ext location) also told me that they didnt pay for core. but when i took them the form from sheridan, the voucher WIA gave me covered everything---including core. they didnt cover the books needed for core, which is the BLS book and th...

hey efun, see if this link works......i copied it from an earlier post in this thread. http://rapidshare.com/files/244641205/NursingSchoolentrance.pdf.html

anyone out there recently go through the wia program in broward county to get into lpn school? i'm in the process of doing so and wanted to know your experience. anything i should be aware of, like what costs they do and don't cover, etc.????

im excited, nervous and anxious all at the same time. i have no idea what to expect either. this is a total career change for me. good luck to ya!!!!!

yes, i had the "WIA BLUES", but everything is ok now. saw my wia counselor yesterday and she should have my voucher on monday (keeping my fingers crossed). though it took a long time and had me extremely worried about not being able to start schoo...

hi honeybunny! no, im actually going to sheridan tech in hollywood, florida. school starts on the 26th and im so psyched!

on the application they gave me for WIA, it included a page where i had to put down job search results. from what i was told, its just to show that you are what they call a "dislocated worker" (not able to get a job in the field you were initially i...

wow, youre good. guess what i got today???? yup, my acceptance letter! maybe i should also check with you next time i play the lottery. LOL. i feel a little bit better, but not 100% yet. tomorrow im going to sheridan and picking up the form i need...

no letter today! they did say the end of the month, but i didnt think they would wait until the LAST DAY OF THE MONTH! AAAGGGHHH!!!!! i heard that PDAs are great while youre in school. theres a few websites where you can download books n stuff. this...

i guess ill look into getting the backpack on wheels too, but im hoping we dont have to carry all of those books on a daily basis. i heard a PDA is a great investment and am hoping i get it as an early birthday gift. :) yeah, i hope this recession's...

yup, no benefits--thats another whole story. im grateful for my boyfriend. hes been very supportive----in every sense of the word. he's my rock! thats also one of the reasons why i chose this path. many say its recession proof. but i guess we will...

KEWL! glad you have no more worries!!!! guess we have been reading the same entries. im hoping i can get this whole thing processed this way i can go ahead and get my books and read them or at least look at them prior to class starting. i definitely...
