  1. What kind of car do you drive for those 1+ hour commutes?

    rnwannabe77 replied to 2011nursetobe's topic in General Nursing

    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...

  4. What do you wish you'd studied better in prereqs?

    rnwannabe77 replied to SkiMama's topic in General Students

    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...

    rnwannabe77 replied to passredskins1's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    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...

    rnwannabe77 replied to passredskins1's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    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...

    rnwannabe77 replied to rnwannabe77's topic in LPN to RN

    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...

    rnwannabe77 posted a topic in LPN to RN

    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...

  9. Switch from 2nd year LPN to RN student....Is it possible?

    rnwannabe77 replied to rnwannabe77's topic in LPN to RN

    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...

    rnwannabe77 replied to rnwannabe77's topic in LPN to RN

    rnwannabe77 replied to rnwannabe77's topic in LPN to RN

    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...

  12. Help! Stay in LVN or go to RN?

    rnwannabe77 replied to BeJuled's topic in LPN to RN

    @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...

  13. Help! Stay in LVN or go to RN?

    rnwannabe77 replied to BeJuled's topic in LPN to RN

    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...

    rnwannabe77 replied to rnwannabe77's topic in LPN to RN

    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...

  19. What are the pros and cons of LPN and RN programs?

    rnwannabe77 replied to rnwannabe77's topic in LPN to RN

    @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...
