Hi all, After weeks of studying, my day finally came. I took the PSB exam last night and it was not as difficult as I thought. I actually think my studying was a little over kill. I want to thank everyone for all the wonderful advice. While it wasn't...

Hi Everyone, I'm not accustomed to writing in boards so please excuse any amateur mistakes. Monday, May 4th at 5pm I'm scheduled to take the PSB exam. Thankfully the school has no waiting list for their LPN program that starts in the fall. The appli...

Thanks for the kind words. Everyone that I know, knows how bad I want to be an LPN. The whole reason I'm moving is to knock $300/mo off of my rent so that I can pay for school (Bye Bye Big pretty house, hello to my knew God sent match box ) I've aske...

A couple of weeks ago, someone posted here saying that she needed money for her last semester of school. I recommended that she have a yard sale and ask friends and family to help out. Yesterday I got a call from the Director of the Practical Nursing...

I'm so happy for you. God is Good, All the Time.

Hi Everyone, I hear a lot of you saying that you're currently taking your pre-req's or completed pre-req's and are waiting for a reply from the school of your choice. I'm posting my class schedule below because I'm wondering if this is unusual. It s...

Yes, it is definitely time to get on the grind.

Sell it All, I know exactly how you feel. I'll be starting an LPN program in the fall, but in order to do that I have to make huge sacrafices to pay for school. I work full time, and I just got a night job. I'll be moving my family out of our beauti...

:imbar oh my, I hadn't considered what my uniform will be in the fall. Well I figured white pants, button up nursing top, but never did I consider the horrid nursing dress and WHITE STOCKINGS. I'm scared :imbar

This is so very exciting. I received my acceptance letter yesterday . I've typed my acceptance letter back to the school and have it sitting on my desk right now. Next I'll have to schedule a physical, take a CPR class before August 14th, get student...

I live across the street from my school. Starting LPN to RN this fall. I guess it can't get any better than that!!!

My school didn't allow calculators, but trust me when I tell you that it's basic math with a few very simple fractions. I took the PSB test last monday 5/4/09. I must have done something right because I received my acceptance letter in the mail this ...

Hi everyone, I applied for the LPN course at my local community college. I live in a very small town. There were only 76 applicants, but the school only accepts 26 students each year. I took the PSB exam Monday, May 4th and it seemed like everyone t...

Thanks for the advise. I guess I'm just super nervous. They were just all so young, I'm 28. I just don't want to get penalized because I took most of the prereq's centuries ago, lol or what seems like centuries ago. I just want a fair shot.

I took psych 1 & 2 online and it was great. The professor posted all assignments and the class was split into teams for the most part. All tests are usually open book of course, who's there to stop you. One thing I always recommend for online cou...

Wow, when I read this post I thought, there's no way you're in VA. But you are, and yes there is an RN program without a waiting list. ESCC in Melfa, VA. If you're in VA Beach you have to come across the Chesapeake Bay Bridge. We're about an hours dr...

The company that I work for has been slowly but surely going out of business for the past 8 months. If the economy doesn't recover within the next 3 months, neither will we. I guess we all know the chances of that happening. I live in a very very sma...

I can't wait to tell my job to kick rocks!!!!! Yesterday the official announcement came down, 108 employees are now part time, 4 days, 32 hours a week. Only four of us are left standing, "The Sales Team" and I don't think we're going to be able to sa...

Reading and taking thorough notes has always been the only way that I can "retain" the info. After a chapter I have a 3-4 page summary of it all which makes studying very easy. But all of that is no good if I procrastinate. We've all been there. I've...

Congrats, I'm 28 and I know exactly what you mean. I'm scheduled for the PSB exam Monday and if I score within the top 26 I can start this fall. Lucky I live in a small town, so no waiting list. 26 slots, 76 applicants. Good Luck
