    SWM2009 replied to OMMx3's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    SWM2009 replied to Alexander03's topic in LPN, LVN Students

  4. I wish RN schools would quit teaching the RN students LPN's can't do anything!

    SWM2009 replied to Wannabeeinscrubs's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    SWM2009 replied to Wannabeeinscrubs's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    SWM2009 replied to Oyinz24's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    SWM2009 replied to Libby1987's topic in General Nursing

    SWM2009 replied to NickiLynn's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    SWM2009 replied to sweetmama81's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    SWM2009 replied to Jen_Loves_Nursing's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    First, as others have also pointed out, you will be considered a new grad RN, even with LVN job experience and getting that good job will likely not be easy. That said, if you are confident and sure...
