If you are qualified to work as a tech or aide you may have to. Some nurses think they are "too good" for this and refuse, even though they get nurses pay. If someone refused to do that as you did, you would have been fired immediately. Your main concern should be for the patient and their needs, not your job title. Keep that in mind.

That is so strange. I am talking about the LPN HESI EXIT exam, not the entrance test that covers English and stuff. I have talked to some people who said it is very hard and covers nursing. I think I have to get like a 800 or something on it.

Most hospitals are not hiring LPNs. Most nursing homes in area offer tuition reimbursement, some you have to sign contacts with and some you have to be there for a while before you are eligible.

I have been an LPN for 14 years now, went to a nursing school so no college pre-reqs were done. Want to go back for my RN now and I have heard different things. I read that Hondros may be too hard for me since I have been out of school so long but I dont know. How about Rets RN? Anyone have any advice???? Also, found out I have to take a Hesi LPN exit exam ( which I have heard is hard and covers lots of peds and ob) to get into either. Anyone know anything about this or have any LPN hesi stuff they want to get rid of?? I dont even think this test existed when I was in school!!! I cant find a sample hesi test anywhere on the internet and cant find anyone with a cd-rom. I did good on boards, but a lot has changed and been forgotten in 14 years.
