I drive a 2008 Toyota Yaris. My commute round-trip is about 45 miles (including about 1 hr 40 minutes travel time). I usually fill up the tank once a week and on average it costs about $35. The past couple of weeks, though, I have been taking the ...

Awww....That is so cute!

A good friend of mine graduated from Laboure quite a few years ago. She loved it there! My sister is currently finishing her prereqs now and starts the full-time RN program in September. Although she hasn't started the program yet, she absolutely ...

Good question....I am a second year LPN student who definitely needs to brush up on basically all of my previous science courses. I took Chemistry and A&P 1&2 about three years ago and I feel like I have forgotten most of it. I did really w...

Oh yeah, I meant Med/Surg, not Fundamentals. @Streamline...You are so right...That material does not go away! I was doing some practice questions from my Saunders book and saw some related to Growth and Development, Piaget I believe. Unfortunately ...

Hi Passredskins, That is some great advice. This past year in the LPN program I had a bad habit of cramming all day the day before an exam. I was taking two additional classes on top of working full-time and found it very difficult to fit studying ...

Oh wow...5 campuses!?!?! That's a lot....It's great that they fill the empty spots before the second year though. I wish you luck in getting your first choice! You are right...By next year I'll finish the LPN program and possibly even find a job be...

Hi everyone, I was just wondering if any of you decided half way through the LPN program to transition to the RN program. I just finished up my first year of the LPN program and have decided I don't want to finish it. In fact, I wanted to enter the...

Yep, Looks like I'll have to start over again as a new student if I decide to take the RN route. I guess I'm just gonna stay in the LPN program, finish it up next year, take and hopefully pass the NCLEX-PN exam, and apply to RN programs in my area. ...

Hi Msolana I heard it's very competitive too. I'm kind of scared of taking that teas exam. I had no idea about that waiting period though! Good luck with your prereqs!

Hi Starfish I heard that the RN bridge program at my school is very competitive because there are a limited number of seats. I spoke to an advisor today and she said she has to e-mail the head of the nursing department to find out if transferring fro...

@Demyelinated, Yeah, I don't think I'd ever be able to complete a degree on-line; I get too distracted. I wish I was more disciplined in my studies. Next semester, I promised myself that I'm gonna try my best no matter what I decide to do, even ...

Hi Demylenated, Where are you located that they don't have any part-time programs? That must be terrible for those that work full-time but want to enroll in nursing school. I know I wouldn't be able to do it. As for the online LPN-BSN program, I'm ...

Hi Kgusty, Yes, I saw that Dosage Calc Course on their website. I was thinking I could do it over the summer. I'm willing to take it only b/c it's only a one credit course and not that expensive. I haven't thought about looking into RCC, but I gue...

Hi demylenated, I am located in MA. I'm doing the part-time LPN certificate program which is two years. The full-time LPN program at my school is one year. Unfortunately I work full-time during the day (not in the nursing field) and I'm unable to ...

Congratulations!!!! I'm so happy for you....I'm sure your dad would be so proud!

Hi Bejuled, I have a similar situation. I am currently an LPN student set to start my 2nd year in September. I'm thinking of applying to RN programs now b/c I'm afraid that at the end of the LPN program I'll have a tough time bridging over into an ...

Hi everyone..I posted a related thread but here I go again. I was just wondering if anyone can advise me on the differences between LPN and RN programs and the end results. I have previously read that if my ultimate goal is to become an RN (which it...

@Moderator-Great. Thanks so much...that is very reassuring! I heard that the school I am going to, it is difficult to bridge from LPN to RN. I guess if that is the case, I can try somewhere else after completing the LPN program.

I recently got accepted into the Quincy College Fall 2010 part-time LPN program. The problem is I was accepted last minute due to a seat opening up while I was away on vacation. For this reason I am late doing everything required for the program su...
