John--RN

Congrats. I showed up on BON website while pearsonvue still said results unavailable LOL

Thank you now we can wait for our official results with a little less anxiety.

I worked between 24 - 32 hrs a week for most of it. By the time practicu came I think I was working about 12-20 hrs a week. It will tKe the full time they told you to get admission status. 6 or 8 weeks I think it was

They do not calculate your LPN grades in the gpa calculations. The he experience was intense. The program is very fast paced and does not let up until graduation. This is very much a full time program and we lost several good nurses along the way. T...

Yep Tuesday afternoon. And did the PVT as soon as I got home. Got the good popup :)

Awesome Congrats!! I know the feeling I just did this myself yesterday

I worked as an LPN while I completed my pre reqs and transition program. Not working was not an option for me. I was not able to maintain full time but I was at least able to do 2 12 hour shifts per week until practicum. The RN program was as hard if...

I graduated this program in December will agree with nekozuki's comments except that if you do not get in the first time around you are awarded 3 extra points for being "waitlisted" I know several people that were not selected the first time but just...

I just started my last semester, Advanced adult health and Practicum. We have to complete Advanced adult health in the first half of the semester so we can do our practium. So I would say covering very advanced material in a short period of time alon...

Well I am once again a Nursing Student. I just completed my three day orientation for my RN Bridge program and it looks like it is going to be a busy year.

Sorry for the lat reply, betweek this program and work I do not spend much time reading the boards. 1 day a week during the first semester plus exams. That is after your 3 day orientation. Second semester you have to go to clinical the day before to ...

Congrats !! It is very fast paced. You have to go in for lab time, orientations and exams. Then you have your clinical days and the night before to get your patient info. Lab only lasts the first 7 weeks.

It depends on your grades especially your science grades. I got on on the first try but I know people that were waitlisted. Clinical is 1 day a week and the program is very fast paced. Be prepaired to spend a great deal of time reading the books.

Finish your degree, you have a world of options in nursing you do not have to remain in bedside at a hospital. I am also a second career nurse, I have seen burnt out, miserable people in just about every profession I have had contact with. You are at...

Congrats, I am a little bit jealous as I just started and don't graduate until December.

Some people bring extra shoes and change them in the parking lot before getting in their car. I go home in what I went to work in unless something went very very wrong. If you are dealing with anything really bad they are probably on contact precauti...

Did you only use the practice exam and sudyguide101 for this? I am planning on taking this exam before enrolling with Excelsior to see if I like the format. I have my fundamentals book from my LPN program will this be enough to get me through the exa...

Hi all, I have a question I have not been able to find the answer to. I have been in my local college plugging away at my pre reqs for their LPN - RN bridge. I know someone that just got in and the the schedule is very demanding time wise and this wa...

Thanks for the info. I am still going to finish my AA with my local school so there is no transfer problems later. It also automatically gets me into my local university. Still undecided on the Excelsior route, I am sure it is a quality education bu...

I am waiting on my acceptance letter from TECO for their LPN program. It seems they are 5 students short of starting in November at this point. They say they have two testing this week, I hope they pass!

Congrats my friend made it in too, It will be a fast paced wild ride, but put in the time to study and you will be fine, it is not something you can just get by on with minimal effort. Pay attention to what they tell you to remember from the powerpo...

Hey Chanzes MiMi good to see even more teco alumni here :) Magda81, CNA is HARD work, it may give you a leg up on a candidate with similar experiance as you (none) that did not do it. At least they know you have done some patient care. Also you woul...

Home health is great especially if you are still in school doing your RN, flexible hours and can do homework while at work sometimes if your working nights. I have a couple classmates doing home health and they can eaisly put in 40- 60 hrs a week if ...

I can't speak directly to Illinois, but where I am student nurses are held to the same standard as a licensed nurse.

I applied and interviewed for a place a week before I sat for my boards. I landed the job and they told me to call them as soon as I passed. I did and went to orientation a few days later. Also I just picked up second PRN position with another compan...
