Temeika LPN

Hi, I was trying to get in for next week but I applied too late, so it looks like I'll be doing the lpn-RN program this fall. I know a couple of nursing that has went thru the program or is about to graduate this year.

Yes I was rejected from RN programs in Ga countless times, over 8 years, so at 29, I applied to long program, got In 1st try. RN core course carry more wait than lpn, so that helped me get into lpn program. I never regret doing lpn first, I'm in purs...

Indiana state university or excelsior are both lpn-rn home programs. Clinicals hours are required during program.

I've taken both, pax was easier to me.

I know of an LPN who did the LPN-ADN program in 6 months. She used study guides from MyStudyGroup101 LLC They are pretty reasonable, but to print them, they are 100s of pages long, so you will need a good printer with alot of ink.

Hi, how is the program with Herzing going. I'm considering applying for spring. I'm dreading the 3+ commute from GA

Hi, did you ever take on the position?

I find that there is a shortage in terms of turnover rate. True we need more nurses, but due to a lot of nurse burnout r/t heavy workloads or long work hours, nurses are always changing jobs and seeking what fits better into their life. ive worked...

Sad but I believe this kind of behavior (racist) exist in more places than we can imagine. Some are better at hiding it than other. Ill be glad when all races will view all races as equal. I'm an african american female of lighter complexion and on ...

Option 1, you get to making money faster than other options and anything u may want as a nurse for advance degrees you will in most cases always have option to do online. Most of what you learn as a nurse will be from on the job training. Having a li...

Get your LPN, and work your way up, it will be better to get RN, but as an LPN you get to practice alot of hands on clinical skills which will make you a more versatile RN, I was a CNA then MA, and now I'm an LPN and working to get into a LPN-RN brid...

As a LPN in GA, Ive worked in a nursing home where I didnt everything a RN did on floor, except, LPNs are not allowed to call time of death for a residents, in home care, RN are supervisors, case managers, etc. When it comes to PICC lines, I can ch...

Yes, thats what Ive experience from working in a private office for dialysis. The company I work for is actually trying to ween away from PCT and get all LPNs so the catheter patients dont have to wait for a nurse. But I dont see the turnover rate ...

Congratulations to you!! How much time would you say you put into studying for each Challenge exam?

Omg, I took adult health and OB exams this morning. I failed both, OB was not so bad I failed it by literally 1 question, not adult health, it was a tough one, but I fell ill this past week and didnt get to finish preparing for adult hlth, but truely...

Wish me luck, I and taking Adult health and Mother/Child challenge exam Friday, 04/20/2012 and after I passed those 2 I will lastly work on Peds(which I have heard was the hardest). But I will see for myself.

I agree, once I was admitted, I didnt find it difficult to talk to someone, they actually called me once to let me know I was missing a couple of things and I got an email asking if I was going to finishing my challenge exams, and if i miss deadline...

I went back to the 2 year school I got my LPN diploma and they proctored me for $35 for one exam and told me they may be able to work out a deal on the last 3 so I dont have to pay $35 for each exam. I guess I surprised the proctor, I took my menta...

I agree, Ive maxed out in federal loans here in GA at $65000+, and Sallie mae has always kicked in to loan money when I had no other options.

Just one, I think I'm going to take adult hlth and Maternal/OB together by the end of the month.

Hey nitalpn how is it going? I'm aim to take OB and Adult health challenge exam in Mar. and hopefully Peds in April. What part are you currently working on? But yes we may need to study together, I'm actually aiming to buy a home in the gwinnett a...

I was 29 and pregnant with my first child while going through LPN program. Had him at 30. I was more concerned with being married before having kids but it didnt happen that way. Spacing of kids was never my concern, although I still got a couple mor...

Its completely circumstantial. I was a BSN prenursing student once upon a time. My grades were fair, and after 8 years of unsuccessful attempts to get accepted into a RN program, ADN and BSN, I applied one time to an LPN program and was accepted. ...

Smashley10, keep me posted on how nursing care of adults CSM goes. I'm trying to study for it with the help of college network. So what are you using to study for that exam? Ive passed the mental health CSM which I heard was the easiest and I barely...

2brn09, ISU have a site where you can look in certain areas where they have established contracts with clinical sites by former students. I found a mental health clinic here in Athens that has a contract.
