Hi, I have posted questions previously regarding my situation and would like some more input please. I graduated from LPN school in July . I have my diploma and transcripts however my school won't send my information to the Board of nursing until I p...

first of all i should give a little backstory to my situation as this is my first post. i was supposed to graduate from my pn nursing program (mid-east adult center in zanesville, ohio), in 6/29/09. during my final exams after my 1st of 2 exams the a...

awesome news wndnav12 !!! i definitely given credit to all who have tackled this horrendous exam and came out in one piece!lol....so, i'm assuming on to boards then? i would just review using a comprehensive review book. saunders worked wonders for m...

Well, you are right in that no one has anything positive or nice to say. You are WRONG bottom line. You need to remove yourself from the situation ASAP or else the mother may step in at some point and have the Board do that for you. I'm not sure what...

I read the comments and just HAD to post. I have a disabled child myself, vent, g'j tube, trach, the works. Two years ago I was married, lived in a brand new home, and was beginning nursing school. My son received 16 hour a day care at that time. Thi...

Hey, Hopefully someone can help me out. I have researched Excelsior pretty extensively and have decided to begin my studies there however I definitely need some guidance in how to get things started. I graduated with my LPN diploma from a trade schoo...

MsPC you ROCK!!!!!!Thanks so much for the spreadsheet. It was exactly what I was looking for!

I knew I made the right decision posting my question here. You guys are awesome!! I have been looking online today and it looks like the CLEP route for as many classes as I can would be a pretty good option as I have zero time to go to a campus somew...

Hey T, Thats great your schooling is almost over!!! Now comes the fun part. The dreaded EXIT exam. well, It was a total of 220 questions. There was alot of medication questions so definitely brush up on the contraindicated info for the drugs. I remem...

Hey everyone. Am just getting out there to go on a job app spree...lol. Can wait to use my new license! That being said, does anyone have any input regarding pay rates for new grads in LTC in the Columbus/Central Ohio area? Also any inut on the facil...

I know I will go straight into Home Health work as soon as I get my license. (LPN). The main reason I went to school was to learn how to take care of my son with many complex needs. Vent, trach, G/J tube, the works. Home health LPNs are very much nee...

Thought I would post a followup for everyone...Better late than never I say. Well, retook the LPN exit exam this morning and PASSED!!!Just waiting for the boards now. SO GLAD THAT IS OVER!!!! Thanks to everyone on this board for the great advice and ...

Yeah, I know what you mean. i've always done awesome on the Nclex cds and books but when it comes to the exit exam, its something that is beyond difficult. Its been quite a few months since I've been out of school and I'm so discouraged. trying to st...

They didn't hold my grades per se. I did receive my transcripts and diploma, however the catch with that is that in order to sit for boards the school must send in your information to the Board of Nursing to say that you are 'eligible' to sit for boa...

I believe WIA stands for Workforce Initiative Development

I got one to go to school. I qualified for the full amount (in my county at the time (Licking) it was 8000). Since I qualified for the full pell also I didn't pay a dime for my LPN program. I had to apply with a place called Opportunity Links which i...

Congratulations!!Hopefully I will be able to post my own 'I PASSED' thread soon...Wish me luck!

I got my flu shot :) Still waiting on the H1N1 to become available

I made 9.00 at assisted living facility in central ohio in 2008..peanuts as far as I was concerned and not worth it. the low pay was due to the facility being 'Assisted Living'. The reality was this through, 75% of the residents there should have bee...

I can buy them it's not a problem, I just need to know WHAT to buy and from which site, ERI or ATI.

I can obtain my own and the truth is, the cost really isin't even an issue for me. The thing is, I just didn't know where to start. I know that ERI and ATI have merged companies but they still maintain separate websites ( I found that out by calling...

Unfortunately, no. I had never even heard of ERI/ATI until I read the front of the exam booklet. Way to prepare your students! :angryfireOnce I started browsing through this site I became aware that alot of schools use this company year-round to prep...

I have investigated this information on the Ohio Board of Nursing website and it states that the information regarding finishing a accredited program needs to be sent directly from the school. They must apply on my behalf. Maybe I'm jumping the gun a...
