    racefan88 replied to nottootoo's topic in LPN, LVN Students

  2. LPN course that bridges over to RN...more overwhelming?

    racefan88 replied to lina.561's topic in LPN to RN

    Hi! I think it's important to say that LPN's will NEVER be phased out. They've been saying that for years and it's not happening. Yes, it comes in phases (usually during a recession) that hospitals...

    racefan88 replied to Faro's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    racefan88 replied to Nursey103's topic in General Nursing

    Hi! I attend a full time LPN program and have three kids. I can understand your problem. Tell your boyfriend to back off and get over it. Your place will just be a little "messy" while you're...

    racefan88 posted a topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Wow! I'm about to finish my first term in the LPN program I attend. As my class was about to take our final for A&P 1 our DON came into the room and said our teacher was at a training class and...

  7. Texting During Tests!

    racefan88 replied to racefan88's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Cell phones are allowed because all students are not 18 without a care in the world. Many of us are older with husbands and children and obligations that still have to be met. We can't just stop the...

  8. HELP ME PLEASE!!

    racefan88 replied to lpnhopeful21's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Hi. I was wondering if you inquired about any entry exams or waiting lists for the ADN program at the community college. You might want to check. You can't assume that all you have to do is pass some...

    racefan88 replied to racefan88's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I hope it doesn't come to that. Hopefully, they got the message from the DON and that will be the end of it. On a good note, I start my next term on Monday. That's 1

  12. Is This Accurate Information? Inaccurate?

    racefan88 replied to Multicollinearity's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not sure what state your in, but in NC, CNA's can do clean dressing changes. Usually they're so busy with their work that a LPN does the job and in some LTC's they only permit LPN's to do them....

  13. What can I do for healthcare employment while I wait for nursing school?

    racefan88 replied to arigsbee's topic in General Nursing

    Wow, I'm shocked at the price for CNA training where you live. I had my CNA training for less than $200.00 and that included the book! Sure I spent about $50 on the required scrubs but nowhere near...
