I was thinking about going for my RN but I think that I will just do LPN to start, any opinions? The hospital I work in does hire some LPN's but mostly RN's can anyone else tell me about places in Ohio, do they hire LPN's? Trish

I am under the impression that you can get your LPN on line and then go on for your RN or BSN with them? Anyone know? Trish

I am thinking about taking my EMT Basic and then EMT Paramedic and then I can do the bridge to an RN program. I would love to find one on line. I know about excelsior, is there any others? Trish :balloons:

Do agencies offer insurance? I think I heard before that they do not, that is why they could pay say well. Also, do agencies hire LPN's or just RN's? Trish :balloons:

That is what I thought about Chemistry and Micro, YEAH!!! Thank you so very much for answering my questions, I appreciate it so very much!!!!! Trish Soon to student at DCN!!!!!!

That is what I plan on doing too. I just didn't know if they all had to be done by the time you took your PN-NCLEX or not. I wish the hospital would call me back, I am so impatient about waiting. Trish

Yes, that was very helpful!!!! Thanks!!!! I talked to my clinical manager on the floor that I work on and she gave me the name of who to talk to about doing my clinicals there and she doesn't see a problem with me doing them there. As far as the sci...

I am glad to hear you like it also. I am very excited about starting and have so many questions. I contacted the Ohio BON but I am going to call them and ask a few more questions. I called the Missouri BON, they called back but I was gone so I need ...

OPALM... You said that you just finished the PN part of the program, are you going on for your ASN with them? I was wondering if I could do the PN part and then work for a while and get my ASN thru them a year or so after I finish or even do it thru ...

Good!! I heard thye pay very well too. That might be my route after LPN school is over. Trish

It is in Missouri. I see that you are in Columbus, I am about 60 miles south of you in Chillicothe. Trish

I have changed my mind a couple of times but now I am certain I am going to Deaconess College of Nursing. I can get my LPN and RN online. YEAH!!!!!! Good luck to everyone!!!!!!! Trish :balloons:

Oh, ok. I called the school and they told me the same thing so I will check with them and make sure. Thanks!!!! Trish

Ok, that is fine with me. I was applying to the college in my area and not able to go full time for my nursing program till my daughter got into kindergarten in 2 years, now I will be finished right after she starts. YEAH I can't wait to get started!...

NICURNtobe...Did you take the MO NCLEX or the one in your own state? Also, what is the BON? Trish

I have talked to the school since my last post and I can do everything except my science classes online. After every quarter (starting 2 quarter) I have to go to the school for 3 days for testing and some clinical work everything is online. Trish

I called the school and got all my questions answered. I am wondering how I find out info about the school, if it is accreditted, etc Trish

Thank you so very much!!!!!!!! I will call the school ASAP. Trish

Are you kidding me??? How great is that!!!!!!!! If you wouldn't mind I have a couple of questions.... How did you do your clinicals? How long did it take you? Do you have a schedule to keep? I read somewhere that you have to "sign up for your ASN" W...

Am I reading this right??? You can get your LPN on line with Deaconess? Trish :balloons:

Yes, the essay goes in with my application for nursing that is why I want it to be wonderful. I will work on it and see what else I can come up with. Thanks so very much!!!!!!!!!! Trish

We are supposed to give a 500 word or less essay about our educationala dn career goals so please let me know what you think bad or good. I started my medical career as a State Tested Nursing Assistant in 1992 and was fascinated by how much I could d...
