  11. LPN then RN?

    andreasmom02 posted a topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I was just wondering if there were any RNs here who were LPNs first, then went back to school for RN-BSN? I became an LPN through my local community college in 2007. It was an LPN-RN bridge program. I...

  13. Super Obese

    andreasmom02 replied to anotherone's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I agree. I understand if a patient has a true medical problem - underactive thyroid, has lost a limb, etc. But I don't understand how once healthy adults allow themselves to become 500 +

  14. Why do some nurses use their titles as a big ego boost?

    andreasmom02 replied to Hellostudentnurssee's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Ditto

  15. So why even bother with getting an RN?

    andreasmom02 replied to netglow's topic in General Nursing

    I worked as an LPN in a private practice with a MA last year. This girl was a nightmare to work with. She was supposedly a medical assistant, but wouldn't tell us other nurses where she went to MA...

  18. Do you wanna be an RN??

    andreasmom02 replied to smartypantsnurse's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I've been an LPN since 2007. I'm 32 years old, married, with two kids. I went to a community college RN program. The program I went to allowed you to exit as an LPN, or bridge to the RN by taking just...

  19. Stressed and tired!

    andreasmom02 replied to CNLLVN's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I tried LTC right out of nursing school, but it wasn't for me... I commend those who can do LTC. I feel like if you can last a year at LTC as a nurse, you can do any type of nursing! But that's just...

  20. Hi im going to start schooling to be a LPN in the fall

    andreasmom02 replied to jakejwill's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would think as long as the tattoos were covered you should be fine, but speak with your nursing dept. As far as the dyslexia, I would speak to someone at the college or nursing school about it. Most...

  21. LPN to.......CNA?!

    andreasmom02 replied to Keep_Calm's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I agree. We all worked hard to be LPNs. At many schools you must become an LPN before you can become an RN. The community college I went to requires LPNs to go through the same classes as RNs. You can...

  22. Has anyone ever started a nursing job & quit it within a couple weeks?

    andreasmom02 replied to sauzie's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Yep, I have, twice. The first two LPN jobs I ever had were terrible places to work! They were poorly managed, extremely under staffed, and I was BEYOND over worked. I quit without notice at both jobs....

    Hi, I worked in dermatology for 6 months as an LPN. I'm a 32 year old female. I liked dermatology overall, but not the practice I was at. The doctors I worked for worked us nurses to death with low...

  24. Frustrations of a new grad

    andreasmom02 replied to pophysis22's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I think this happens to a lot of new nurses. Every time I've started a job I've went through this, except the last job I was at. I had a really nice elder nurse who was about to retire, and had a lot...

    andreasmom02 replied to snowybee's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I have tried LTC & clinic work. LTC is not for me! It is extremely stressful. I worked 4 shifts in LTC & quit. I then went in to dermatology clinic nursing & liked it MUCH better. I now...
